Recommend Me An Album

05-07-2010 10:18am#1OK, so this thread is for recommending an album to other boarders. An album that you have either recently discovered, rediscovered or whatever and just posting it here:
Danger Danger - Revolve
I want to start off by recommending this album. For some reason, and the reason I seem surprised is because the band have neither promoted nor toured this album, it has managed to both catch my attention and stay with me. What I can say is that if you are a fan of Def Leppard you will love this album - even if you are not - you will find a lot of great Rock on this record. Y&T, Journey, Queen, Mr Big...the list is endless...this album encompasses them all
You can find samples on the band's MySpace

Great idea!
Mastodon - Crack The Skye
This is the only one of my top albums that I would recommend to ANYONE, regardless if they like rock, metal, alternative or what have you. Mastodon's roots may be in sludgy heavy metal but this album is completely different. The album is a slab of 70's prog rock mixed in with the usual Mastodon madness. There is not a single bad song to be found on this record and IMO it is sure to become a classic in the future. Brilliantly composed and produced I would recommend this album to any rock/metal fans really.0 -

Suicidal Tendencies - The Art of Rebellion
Truly terrific and underrated album from ST. It was a change in direction to their usual thrash/ hardcore style which was appreciated by fans at the time. Great guitar from Rocky George, who is not a guitarist that gets highly rated.Monopoly on Sorrow is their best song ever imo.0 -

Yet again...
Between The Buried and Me - Colors
Perhaps the 5th time or so that I've recommended this band in some way on this forum... But really, I think this album is that good.
It took a while to hit me, but when it did, it hit hard. Now I consider this my favourite album of all time, and in my opinion, one of the most well crafted works of art released. The band mainly play a very heavy type of progressive metalcore, but there are influences from a very wide range of genres on this album; metal, prog, death, acoustic, and even that countrylike section.
Insane technicality, brilliant songwriting and riffs, just amazing really.0 -
Cynic - Traced In Air
First heard of these guys in late 90's but was told they were death metal and that wasn't what i was into so never checked them out. This was released in 2008 after a long hiatus. Was working in a music shop so i stuck it on when i saw the artwork. Blown away. Not death metal at all, really melodic progressive metal would be closer description. Not really all that heavy but a really fantastic album.0 -
+1 to the Evile reccomendation above btw. Cant say enough about them!
My reccomendation (to anyone that will listen) is GOATREIGN. Im not even sure if they have more than one album. I bought the one pictured below for €4 in tower records randomly because it was reduced. By god when I gave it a spin I was blown away. Catchy, heavy, METAL riffs and mid range guitar solos coupled with a gravelly clean vocal line (a la pantera/evile). I cant reccomend these guys enough.
Lol there isnt even any youtube footage I can find! WTF is that about? Heres a jpeg of the album cover.

Porcupine Tree - I Absentia
While I imagine quite a few here know of this already, there are (probably) too many who don't. While this is a lot more accesible than many other albums, it covers nearly all aspects that make this band so brilliant (IMO). From all-out rock assault (Blackest Eyes), to ambiance-induced tracks like Strip the Soul. Poppier tunes such as Trains to classicaly-based Collapse the Light Into Earth, this is certainly an album to introduce the masses to this trule exceptional band.

This handsome devil speaks the truth,
Crack the Skye is one of the best metal albums to come out in years each song is a masterpiece of metal.0 -
On the more rock side of things, I would highly recommend Lite - Phantasia. Instrumental rock from Japan (I'd have to recommend something Japanese, wouldn't I?), if you like Rush, Porcupine Tree and so forth, these guys are extremely good. Here's Ghost Dance from the album Phantasia:

One of my favorite albums out so far this year, I absolutely adore this album. Songs such as The Carrion Call, Heirs to Thievery and The Spectator are amazing (I feel). One of the best deathgrind bands out now, and the themes of the songs appeal to me too.

Pain - Dancing With The Dead
Pain is the brainchild of Peter Tägtgren (founder of the band Hypocrisy). Their albums range from straight up industrial metal to poppy-er stuff. The latest album has yer wan from Nightwish guesting on a few songs. My pick above is a great example of Peters work and a good place to start. It falls somewhere in the middle.

I bought Melissa Auf Der Maur's Out Of Our Minds (OOOM) a couple of weeks ago. Freaky tuneful heavy stuff, replete with Vikings crashing cars in a Canadian forest. Favourite track so far: Isis Speaks.
From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

Here's what my really digging at the moment:
Absolutely brilliant melodic metal album. The singer Patrik Johsnsson has a class Dio tinged voice. Pounding guitar riffs and steady rhythms that i love. Check it for yourselfs:

Liars - Sisterworld
This album was released recently enough and it is fantastic. Liars have been constantly changing their sound across each album. This album is like a build-up of all that change. An eclectic mess of brilliant songs tied together with conceptual lyrics about the spaces we inhabit.
Very good album, possibly one of the best this year.
Here's the opening tracK...
Even if you're not a fan of this track I still recommend you check it out because they are all very different.0 -
