GEZEBELLE GABURGABLY - Snailcore Delücks​

This album is an amazing blend of rock, pop and a dash of chiptune under it with emo/incelcore vocals.
The guitars sit nicely and the drums arent too powerful, I love this one

Girl behind it is chill too. talked with her

The first Morbid Angel album (and first death metal album) I owned. I don't even mind the interludes scattered throughout, something I generally don't care for because it feels like filler. Great production (especially for the time), tight as crap musicianship. Those slower parts rule, too. And unlike typical DM vocals, David Vincent's approach is mostly intelligible.

Chic - Risqué
Short, but incredible genre defining album which inspired countless musicians in the 80s and beyond.
 
I'll be honest, I think Judas Priest is a better hard rock band than they are a metal band. They wrote and performed some very, very influential music.[1] When one becomes familiar with Judas Priest's discography, especially their early albums, one can hear the influence they had on tons of different bands. Very good stuff. I think one of their best albums is Sad Wings of Destiny.

This is why I say I think Judas Priest make better hard rock than they do metal. There are strong elements of metal music in this album but it is easy to hear that they were still rising from their hard rock roots with this album. This album has everything. Bad ass rock ballads like Victim of Changes. Trippy dreamy songs like Dreamer Deceiver that transition into a really "epic" sound on its sister track Deceiver. It's got an instrumental intermission. Songs like Tyrant and Genocide are where their real metal sound starts to manifest itself. It's got a sappy, melancholy and, frankly, depressing song in Epitaph[2]. They finish it off with a goofy metal song called Island of Domination.

Fucking awesome album, but I don't have to remind any metalhead of this.

[1]Listen to the intro riff of "Deceiver" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yELpVTsWmpI) and then listen to Danzig's "Am I Demon" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qO1MFlljds). Same fuckin' riff. There are other songs Judas Priest has written that other bands obviously ripped off but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

[2] Judas Priest has a real knack for writing extremely sad lyrics that risk making the listener existentially depressed, see tracks like Beyond the Realms of Death from Screaming for Vengeance, another excellent album, or Run of the Mill from the album Rocka Rolla, which isn't quite as good as their other albums.

I like a lot of Synth/techno. I can listen to this single album for hours and never get bored. One hit wonder though legitimately made one album and dipped.

Sad Wings has gotta be their best. There's an argument to be made for Stained Class, Unleashed in the East or even Sin After Sin too, but point is, 70s Priest is the peak.

Way too much commercial stuff in the 80s, and there was this vague underlying sense of just "giving the metal kids what they want" even in the better 80s stuff. (And not just because it's stylistically 80s sounding--Maiden or Mercyful Fate for instance never felt as calculated as mid-80s Priest.)

Although, Sad Wings is just as much a(n early) metal album as it is a hard rock album, and from what I've seen "the metal community" worships it way more than people more into Queen/Led Zep/David Bowie etc.

I'd define a "perfect album" as one I can listen to from beginning to end, in the intended order, without feeling the need to skip any tracks. A lot of fantastic albums fail this test because they have one or two songs that suck and drag the whole thing down. It's just not the same listening experience if you have to break your immersion to hit fast forward. So many near-perfect albums ruined by this

The only albums that pass this metric for me, Panic at the disco I write Sins not Tragedies (Alt Rock), Miami Night 1984 Early Summer (Synthwave) Asking Alexandria Reckless and Relentless and From Death to Destiny (Edgy rock with Screamo)
 
I know only two albums that are 100% bangers. As much as I love TK and SAM, TK's other albums are a mixed bag and I wasn't a fan of SAM's second album. But both bands' first albums were flawless. Could have them on loop 247. So yeah, I nominate Hoitovirhe and Synthetic Adrenaline Music.

100% pure, distilled rock and roll as it should be. Makes you want to punch a wall, repeatedly, in a good way.

Fun fact, if you were a 1L in law school at around the time this was a popular song, you quite possibly had a textbook by this guy's dad in property law.

Song tax, from a perfect album:
