youre insane. by the way and californication are easily their 2 best alnums.

eh, i think '80s peppers is the best stuff. definitely a minority opinion though!
---

Agree with Lasa here. Californication and BTW have some strong songs but BSSM is probably their best (well actually I haven't listened to anything before Mother's Milk)

Well I posted that before the 80s part but yeah
---

i mean to each their own but like thats seriously crazy to me
---

also wtf why did steiner and digi get 3 noms

I agree that BSSM is the best RHCP album but it is close between it and Californication.

(well actually I haven't listened to anything before Mother's Milk)

the early stuff is more rap rock oriented - i just love that style of music so i really like those albums. don't care much for the direction they went in from the '90s on, though i still enjoy BSSM as stated. and some of the individual songs from the albums past that are good too, just don't like the albums that much.
---

Mildly surprised to still have both my noms in. Figured you'd like First Temple but wasn't too sure about Good Apollo.

30. Luna - Free Somebody - Menji
Rating: 8/10

It was short and very nice. I loved her voice. Would have liked it to be a bit longer though.

29. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Tazzy
Rating: 8/10
Source: Google Play Music

I wasn’t really a fan of the vocals in this at first but it was extremely well put together. And then the vocals kept growing on me as I listened to the album so by the end I was a fan of them.

28. Rishloo - Feathergun - Digi
Rating: 8/10

Pretty cool. Didn’t fall in love with any individual thing in it but it was just an all around pretty enjoyable package
---

27. Gorillaz - Demon Days - Johnbobb
Rating: 8.5/10
Source: Google Play Music

Not the self-titled album 0/10. Honestly while I still like this it is definitely weaker than self-titled or Plastic Beach. While it is pretty great Feel Good Inc is the only song off of it I would say I love and that does hurt it compared to all the other great albums above this nominated where there are multiple songs I love.
---

26. Corrosion Of Conformity - Deliverance - Snake
Rating: 8.5/10
Source: Google Play Music

This one was a bit weird with sometimes having really slow songs. But I ended up really liking that because they made a nice change of pace.
---

Had a feeling that would drop first but glad you liked it, it's one of my personal faves.
---

Of the four main Gorillaz albums, Demon Days is actually my favorite, though Plastic Beach comes close. Feel Good Inc, Fire Coming out of the Monkeys Head, Dare, and El Manana are all favorites
---

25. Larry and His Flask - By The Lamplight - Digi
Rating: 9/10
Source: Google Play Music

This is a really fun folksy punk album but not the best of the genre by any means. Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls are better in general and I prefer All That We Know as far as Larry And The Flask go.

Still great. But (spoilers) when there are 10/10 albums not in the top 10 you need to be really f***ing good to be higher. Honestly putting this at twenty f***ing five hurt you people nominated too many good albums.

or you need a new scale
---

Nah people just nominated too many albums that I have nothing I think should be changed about...

Well there might be box-art and/or names I think aren't as good as they could be for some but that is entirely too nitpicky to actually hold against them.

24. Closure in Moscow - First Temple - Iceman
Rating: 9/10
Source: Google Play Music

This was pretty f***ing awesome of a rock album. Definitely a fan. It was like a mix of Saosin and Coheed and Cambria which is pretty f***ing great.
---

23. Dream Theater - Images And Words - Shad
Rating: 9/10
Source: Google Play Music

Man at the beginning this tripped me up with a song ending when I really didn’t expect it to but it that worked really well to set up the tone of the album. And what an enjoyable tone it is.
---

22. Pixies - Doolittle - Tazzy
Rating: 9/10
Source: Google Play Music

I am honestly not sure what I listened to with this one but it was pretty f***ing awesome.
---

Closure in Moscow are super great. They changed a bit with the album after that, Pink Lemonade, but it's a really cool album as well.
---

Pink Lemonade is really hit or miss for me. I like it overall but it gets a little too out there for me sometimes. First Temple is far superior IMO.

I actually think you will based on what prof has hinted at

21. Melvins - Gluey Porch Treatments - Profit
Rating: 9/10
Source: Google Play Music

So my first time through I wasn’t a fan because all of the demos at the end was too much. Then I actually looked at the track list and saw they were demos and decided to ignore them because they were only added on a reissue which helped its ranking a lot because the demos aren’t that great to be worth the near doubling the runtime of the album.

But I suppose I should talk about the actual album. THE DRUMS IN THIS. The drums are so f***ing good. I also really like the vocal work.

20. Metallica - Ride the Lightning - ZSig
Rating: 9/10

Such a wonderful opening. I just love the way it starts off and builds into being heavy. The entire album is great songs that fit together wonderfully.
---

That opening to Fight Fire with Fire is almost my favorite thing on the album.
---

EA is in the top 20 wooooah

19. Pink Floyd - The Wall - Johnbobb
Rating: 9.5/10
Source: Google Play Music

Not a great start with silence for the first 15 seconds. That has and always will bug me. I also felt like there were other periods where there was no music for a bit too long. Other than that minor annoyance it was f***ing amazing but as far as the near perfect ones go that is enough to put it at the bottom of the pile.

remember steiner social

18. Ayreon - The Human Equation - Shad
Rating: 9.5/10
Source: Google Play Music

So the first thing to talk about is the story of this album and how that unfolds over the tracks which is done f***ing wonderfully. Each song sounded both distinct but it flowed together perfectly also which is really f***ing impressive. The time listening to this went by faster than it would have otherwise for sure which is very impressive.Although I have f***ing no idea what to think of that ending which makes it sound like it was all some sort of robotic simulation. WEIRD.
---

I'm glad you had nice things to say about both of mine. Fun topic. I may even read the rest of it
---

19 and we are at 9.5/10

It's ok Madvillainy is a 11/10
---

So, the end relates back to other Ayreon albums, specifically...well really all of them before that. I think The Human Equation is his best album, but The Final Experiment is good too.
---

17. Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness - Iceman
Rating: 9.5/10

This is wonderful. Not the best Coheed and Cambria album but still pretty much perfect. Just a beautiful long enjoyable album.
---

16. System of a Down - Toxicity - NFUN
Rating: 9.5/10
Source: Google Play Music

The first song is one of my favorite songs and the album mostly lives up to that even if none are quite as good.
