Dimension Hattross by Voivod.
Voivod kicks ass!
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.
Enslaved is my favourite band and for me its a bit of a toss up between the albums ‘In Times’ and ‘Ruun’.
Before Enslaved took the top spot, it was Dissection’s ‘Storm Of The Light’s Bane’. Honorable mention for Opeth’s ‘Blackwater Park’.
Blackwater Park would have been my choice.
I have several favorite bands, so I refuse to choose between them. In no particular order:
Dream Theater - Images and Words, but Awake is only lagging behind by a nanometer.
Metallica - I have a hard time choosing between Puppets and Black
Destiny Potato - Lun
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth.
Edit: tied with BURN, PIANO ISLAND BURN by The Blood Brothers.
It’s a tie for me
Pearl Jam. (1991). Ten [Album]. Epic Records.
A Tribe Called Quest. (1991). The Low End Theory [Album]. Jive Records.
Here’s my thing about ‘Ten’.
I love the first half of this album. It’s some of the best music I know in the genre. High energy, catchy, passionate. But somehow, the second half feels to me like the band ran out of ideas and gas. After ‘Jeremy’ it’s all pretty average, low-energy stuff, with the exception of ‘Garden’.
Porch is a banger for me.
