Albums that made you simply say Hell ya!

Ronan|Raven

So then as the thread title says what albums over the years made you realise how much you love our beloved metal and all its genres? For me the day I heard Chaos AD from Sepultura was a glorious moment. The sheer energy in the album, some classic tracks. It was like heaven but in tape form!

Last year when I got Epica's "The Divine Conspiracy" I had a Hell Yeah moment when I listened to it. It was like a slap in the face (in a good way ) when compared to their previous stuff and unlike anything I'd heard in a long time.

After years and years of meaning to pick it up I finially did two weeks back. I put it on at work and was blown away. I stood behind the counter with my jaw literally on the floor. There is a song on there for every mood on the album, it's an aural orgasm. The definition of perfection.

sadly they've never re-captured that magic since. they've written great songs but not full albums..

i've always contested that "white pony" is to me and my ilk what "the wall" was for my dad and his ilk

It was the only album of theirs that I did'nt own and had never listened to properly. I like most of their stuff but nothing has even come close to matching White Pony.

First time I heard the album I was living it. It's old school down and dirty rock done right. I'd love to see them support AC/DC, would be an evening to remember.

SouperComputer

I think the defining moment for me that cemented my commitment to Metal/Thrash was when I heard Master Of Puppets.

Like a lot peeps in the early 90's, Nirvana/Nevermind cought my attention, then listened to the Black Album over and over, but the first time I heard MOP on a third generation copy it blew my mind. TBH, when I listen to Battery, almost 20 years later, it still gets me going. I love the dyamics, the aggressive riffs, cliffs bass the odd and original guitar sound blah blah.


Other albums that grabbed me by the danglies and still do..........

AJFA
RTM
Adrenaline
Electric Ladyland
Black Sabbath
Beneath the Remains
Arise (first time I heard this, "almost" matched MOP, SOOOO aggressive hehehe, this tape got well used)
RATM


But, man ill never forget the feeling I got when I heard MOP the first time. I was zoned, would have loved to see the look on my then 11year old face.


Some others that grabbed me......

Peace Sells.........
Draconian (SP) Times
The Bends
Decade of Aggression
Devine Intervention
Chaos AD\Schizophrenia
Burn My Eyes
Pulse & DSOTM

nirvana - in utero - loved nevermind, but in utero was a serious hell yeah moment
pantera - vulgar display of power - had great southern trend kill, loved it, got this and was completely blown away
