I don't recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10... whatever's easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It'll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone's catalog is better, etc.

I'll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

Recent favourites, in no particular order:

Prog or adjacent : The ocean - Pelagial

Kglw - petrodragonic apocalypse (was my album of the year last year and one of the most fun albums I've heard in a long time. Felt like listening to painkiller or master of puppets for the first time. Legit top 10 all time album for me, I think)

Katatonia - the fall of hearts

Haken - affinity

Pain of salvation - in the passing light of day (or remedy lane or perfect element)

Soen - Lotus

Opeth - Ghost reveries (or any of the preceding albums, really)

Leprous - the congregation

Mastodon - crack the skye (or leviathan or emperor of sand)

Doom and adjacent: Warning - watching from a distance

Yob - our raw heart

My dying bride - feel the misery

Anathema - judgement

High on fire - death is this communion

Bongripper - Satan worshipping doom

Black and adjacent: Agalloch - the mountain

Negură bunget - virstele pamintilui (or OM)

Blackbraid - Blackbraid I or II

Bucovina - Sub stele (folk metal, really)

Power metal and such:

Dragony - viribus unitis

Blind Guardian - nightfall in middle earth (altho most of their stuff is awesome)

Adamantis - Far flung realm

Sellsword - unto the breach

Ominous Glory - the elven dream

And maaaaany more that would take me ages to list. If anyone vibes with any of the lists and wants more, hit me up, would be happy to talk more.
