    My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth.

    Edit: tied with BURN, PIANO ISLAND BURN by The Blood Brothers.

      I was stunned. Even critics who hated metal were all about that album. To my mind, it was the first metal album where people said, “You have to admit it’s damned good, even if you don’t like the genre.”

      Does that make sense? People may not have enjoyed the album, but respected it none the less.

      Another amazing thing about that Master of Puppets, it rocketed to popularity in a time where being on Mtv was a must and Metallica said they wouldn’t play that game. We were shocked when they released the video for One, had no idea it was coming. Wondered in at midnight and turned on the Headbangers Ball and, “NOW! The world premiere video of Metallica’s One!”

        I still, to this day, get chills when I hear that middle section in Orion. If Cliff hadn’t have died, the world of metal would be incredibly different. ALL of the good material on Justice is written by Cliff at least in some part. The two untouchable members of Metallica, to me, are Cliff Burton, and James Hetfield, the finest rhythm guitar player that has ever lived.

        Cliff’s songwriting and Hetfield’s rhythm playing would have produced hundreds more classics. He was like the McCartney of metal. Sucks that Bob Rock had such an indelible mark on Metallica.

    NIИ - The Downward Spiral is the common choice, but The Fragile is a much more complete album. However, my personal favorite is Year Zero.

      I would say Pretty Hate Machine is probably the best known. My favorite is Broken. You are probably correct about Downward Spiral being the consensus among the fan base as a whole. What I really like about NIN is that I enjoy all of their albums. Many other bands I like have some that I avoid. Probably my least favorite NIN album is Fixed and it’s still pretty listenable.

    All my favorites frequently shift and change over time but I’m utterly obsessed with Music From the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle, by the Olivia Tremor Control. Some of the best fucking psychedelic pop I’ve ever heard.

    Nonagon Infinity - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Though their other 25 albums are awesome too.

    I am also partial to their album PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: an Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Probably my favorite metal album, and they aren’t even a pure metal band.

      I think my personal favorite is Omnium Gatherum, but it has some ups and downs. Nonagon Infinity is pretty much flawless from top to bottom (and back to top)
