Sibling Albums

So like albums that have a clear tie between them, were recorded around about the same time and were clearly intended together, as opposed to a sequel coming years after. Some of these have actually been released together, as can be seen here.

That's about all I can think of right now. So feel free to think of some more for me.

1.Opeth - Deliverance
2.Opeth - Damnation
3.Metallica - Load
4.Metallica - Re-Load
5.Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I

Progressive Metal Bands For People Who Hate Prog

Progressive metal has some of the most creative musicians in metal, but the tendency for progressive bands to make extremely long, technical songs with no sense of structure can be turnoff to some people, and often these bands take themselves too seriously, making them unenjoyable for people who like their metal to have some good rock n' roll fun. These bands frequently avoid such prog cliches, they are completely capable of writing a pop song without sacrificing complexity if they choose to, and weave a range of influences in creative and even fun ways.

1.Devin Townsend - Accelerated Evolution
2.Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
3.Toehider - What Kind Of Creature Am I?
4.Coheed and Cambria - Volume 4
5.Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun

2015 - Leth's List Of Likables (Non-Metal Inclusive)

Every album to catch my ear during 2015, rated, with plenty of non-metal for those of you who like to branch out and see what the whole world of music has to offer. Variety'll always be a virtue.

Numerous focused listens needed before rating.
Updates will (hopefully) be constant.

New Update: In order to promote exploration into albums you may not know, I've decided to include "Standout Track" segments for any album which has a track I feel you all MUST listen to. Hopefully these can help hook people with albums they're not familiar with, because chances are they instantaneously hooked me.

1.Death Grips - The Powers That B
2.Leprous - The Congregation
3.Clarence Clarity - No Now
4.Björk - Vulnicura
5.Envy - Atheist's Cornea

2015 best of the year album list

This is a list of all the albums I have fully listened to in 2015. Each comes with their own rating and my opinion on that album. I have listened to all of these albums a minimum of 4-5 times each. This year I'm not going to go for 55+ albums like 2014. Instead I will only listen to new albums of bands that I know or curious about. I will be more focused on older albums this year, so this list will be tiny. Still open for suggestions.

1.Gorod - A Maze Of Recycled Creeds
2.Symphony X - Underworld
3.August Burns Red - Found In Far Away Places
4.Amorphis - Under The Red Cloud
5.The Agonist - Eye Of Providence
