endtroducing by DJ shadow

my arms, your hearse by opeth

thirteenth step by a perfect circle

Probably OK Computer...Bloodbath_87

Absolutely my man, absolutely...

[QUOTE="22Toothpicks"][QUOTE="Cerussite"][QUOTE="xboxgamefx"]you guys are all wrong. The best album is Thriller by Michael Jackson. It was #1 album for over 9 months straight.Cerussite

And why is that ?

My favourite albums are probably Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater.

[QUOTE="Atheos-Arkhaios"]

Morningrise by Opeth.

blooddemon666

I support this post 100%

I'd like to add In Absentia by Porcupine Tree.

I'd also like to add Aenima by Tool and The Mantle by Agalloch.

Listen to this album or your opinion will be forever incorrect.

Right now I'm listening to A Love Supreme.

I took me a while to get into it because of the hype and because I hadn't heard a lot of other Jazz but wow! Who knew 4 guys could make so much noise, they just gel so well together. McCoy Tyner's piano solos are ridiculous, Elvin Jones' drumming is just so immediate and perceptive and Coltrane just completely masters the Saxophone, they all just work each other up into a musical spiritual frenzy.

But tbh I don't know how I feel about the last piece: The Psalm... it just seems at odds with the sheer jovial energy of the first 3 parts but it does make a nice reflective finish.

If you're new to Jazz I would get a feel for the genre first before trying out this album.

I can't decide between the four. End of thread.

I don't have a favorite album but lately I've been listening to "Deary Diary My Teen Angst Has A Bodycount - From First To Last".

I'm too cool to do that though. Erasorn

I call people fat, for instance.

Yeah, I thought not.

Anyways, I think the order of fav to least fav (which by that I mean still awesome just not as awesome as the other cd's) would be:

Showbiz

Origin of Symmetry

Absolution

Black Holes and Revalations

The Battle of Los Angeles by Rage Against The Machineblackheart1889

Woooo .... I'm going to see them this summer.

lol nice. I saw them last summer thinking that it would be one of their last concerts (Rock The Bells in San Bernardino), but they've already done so many even since then.

Were they good? I'm seeing them at the Oxygen festival in Ireland , just about an hour and a half from where I live.

Oh yeah, I consider seeing them live the best moment in my life so far lol. But then again, they're my favorite band and all that.

Silverchair- Young modern

it sounds like a modern days Beatles album

every track is good

Brilliant Classics published the complete collection of Brahms's chamber music, which I picked up for $40. 12 CDs of some of the greatest music written. Ever. So sorry, but nothing in this thread comes close to that for a quality to value ratio.pianist

:(

Why must you always be better than us! :evil:

So is that the Orange Box of the music world (wonders who will get joke)?

Oh and if they ever release a complete Opeth collection then that will have some competition:P

My fav is Tool's "Lateralus."

It's far from the best ever, but it is my favorite album.

Favorite Hip-Hop/Rap Album - Graduation by Kanye West

Favorite Classic Rock Album - Boston by Boston

Favorite Alternative Rock Album - One-X by Three Days Grace or Phobia by Breaking Benjamin

Others - Black Holes and Revelations by Muse, Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed

So is that the Orange Box of the music world (wonders who will get joke)?

LostProphetFLCL

:lol:

I got it. But frankly, it's a far better deal than the Orange Box.

And Opeth? We'll have to agree to disagree. If you're looking for compositional brilliance throughout an enormous output, no metal band compares to Brahms. The man wrote 4 symphonies, a requiem, 4 concertos, several collections of piano music, numerous choral works, and more than 300 art songs in addition to the aforementioned chamber music. One man, so much music for so many different combinations of instruments, and all of it of the very highest compositional caliber, from motivic development to contrapuntal ingenuity. Really tough to beat.

I said it would be some competition, not neccessarily better, lol.

Thing is Opeth has like 8 or 9 cd's out and they are coming out with a new one this year.

Unlike alot of bands they actually do a good job of FILLING UP THE CD with, funnily enough, LESS SONGS.

I think it says alot for a band when I am more than happy to fork over $15 for 5-6 songs. The length and brilliance of the songs simply makes it worth it.

Obviously Brahms has done alot more different stuff and despite Opeth's tendency to mix in lots of different influences and whatnot I am almost certain that Brahms will remain far superior in that matter.

However I simply LOVE Opeths stuff and think they are simply brilliant. They, like many classical composers, know how to make a long piece without it being boring and without throwing in tons of filler. I listen to Opeths song "Black Rose Immortal" and the 21 minutes just seems to fly by which is crazy.

Anyways, in terms of quantity, depending on how much longer Opeth continues, a full set of their stuff MIGHT include more music than the 12 cd collection you got. Now obviously QUALITY is a matter of taste, but quantity is not, albeit it most likely wouldn't sell for a mere $40....
