The Best Metal Album of EVERY SINGLE YEAR! | Part 1 | 1970 - 1999

[@nazdravanix]

I used to hate list videos until I found someone who's opinions I respected. I disagree with you on quite a few choices but there is an equal number that you have made me question my initial instincts. Really enjoy the way you flesh out your thought process, great content all around.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Thanks a lot and glad that you enjoyed the video

[@joehenshall8735]

New subsriber here. Love the channel. Definitely using you as a font of knowledge for bands ive missed over the years. Keep it up!

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Thanks a lot and glad you are enjoying the channel

[@tussk.]

Cant resist a list. I'm starting from 86, because thats when I first got serious about metal 86. Metallica - Master of Puppets. Orion is still one of the greatest pieces of music rock/metal has ever produced. 87. Napalm Death - Scum. That record changed everything for me. 88. Slayer - South of Heaven. A whole new sonic palette for metal to play with. 89. Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness. Impossible to ignore this one. 90. Judas Priest - Painkiller. Still the best pure heavy metal record of all time. 91. Motorhead - 1916. The band were absolutely on fire for a few years, and this stands out as one of the best. 92. Helmet - Meantime. One of the most criminally overlooked bands in history. 93. Sepultura - Chaos A.D. Absolutely untouchable. 94. Nailbomb - Point Blank. - Relentless aggression. DK, FF, The Seps. What's not to like? 95. Immortal - Battles in The North. A frozen journey through the realm of Blashyrk. Epic stuff. 96. Neurosis - Through silver in Blood . A terrifying record from start to finish. 97. Pig Destroyer - Demo + Split EP with Orchid. Grindcore taken to the absolute extreme. 98. Meshuggah - Chaosphere. Still the album of thiers I play the most. 99. Botch - We are The Romans. A difficult listen, but rewarding if you have the patience for it. Metal had lost its way by 1999, Nu-metal was stinking everything up, and the glamsters were threatening to come back. The labels were being super cautious about releasing anything that wasnt dressed in a tracksuit, and having a DJ and a stupid mask were considered essential to being a heavy metal band. What a terrible time it was.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

A lot of great albums that you have picked for your list. I think there has been some great metal since 1999 though and I'll go through some if it in part 2

[@PatoIzquierdo]

Great picks... I started on the metal scene later on so I am part of the lost ha ha... Neurosis and Meshuggah are massive bands that also provided the fundations of trends further on.

[@tussk.]

@@ThatMetalBloke Once the nu-metal bubble had burst, things started to get a little better. metal is notoriously reactionary though, so for a while we went backwards to reset the clock to the days before slipknot went full panto, and fred durst tried to turn metal into a puerile circle jerk. Ive already made a few of my choices for the last 20 years. im interested to see how many match yours

[@tussk.]

@@PatoIzquierdo Its amazing to me that those two bands had as big an impact on the scene as they did and still do, considering that they were out on the fringe at first, especially neurosis. more bands were influenced by the bands that they influenced I think.

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

@tussk. metal has always had great stuff. People who say it died clearly were only concentrating on mainstream releases.

[@jiffythemagicelf]

I really liked this video. It's refreshing when someone uses a conscientious and sensible approach when making a list like this instead of just slamming their personal favorites together and saying, "These albums are the best, and you're wrong and a [INSERT RANDOM SLUR HERE] if you disagree!!" What I really liked about how you approached the list, though, is that your video highlighted a lot of really important metal albums in a way that showed how they shaped the genre, and as someone that admittedly leans more towards rock generally than metal, I had a lot of "I haven't really sat down with that record. I should do that" moments while watching. I'm looking forward to part 2! 👍

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it 🤘

[@PatoIzquierdo]

Loved the list! It's the 90's for me the decade I came to metal, couldn't judge what came before. My picks: 92: Pantera - Vulgar Dsiplay of Power 93: Sepultura - Chaos A.D. 94: Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral 95: Fear Factory - Demanufacture 96: Tool - Ænima 97: Deftones - Around the Fur 98: System of a Down - System of a Down 99: Slipknot - Slipknot

[@ThatMetalBloke]

No idea how I missed Deftones, System and Slipknot. I was way to hyped up doing this one 😂

[@bananaempijama]

94 would be Korn for me. Love Deftones but City (1997) from Strapping Young Lad is my pick. Not Metal but Version 2.0 (1998) from Garbage is one my favorite albums ever.

[@PatoIzquierdo]

@@bananaempijama Was thinking of Korn and changed it so I don't come out too poser XD... I know nu metal is mostly hated on the metal scene. Korn and NIN paved the way to modern metal...

[@bananaempijama]

@@PatoIzquierdo NIN still is a good pick. Nu metal gets a bad rep but maybe because it was the first genre of metal I listen to, I don't have that hate. Whatever they say, it's waaaay better than anything glam and hair provided.

[@PatoIzquierdo]

@@bananaempijama totally agree!

[@SomerankeroffYT]

I think this all comes down to what albums can you listen to start to finish & love all the way through. Tried giving it a go & realised several big bands were omitted completely… 1970 - Paranoid (Black Sabbath) 1971 - Master of Reality (Black Sabbath) 1972 - Demons & Wizards (Uriah Heep) 1973 - Queen s/t (heavier than most of the 70s metal bands) 1974 - Burn (Deep Purple) 1975 - Sabotage (Black Sabbath) 1976 - Rising (Rainbow) 1977 - Sin After Sin (Judas Priest) 1978 - Stained Class (Judas Priest) 1979 - Overkill (Motörhead) 1980 - Angel Witch s/t 1981 - Killers (Iron Maiden) 1982 - Screaming For Vengeance (Judas Priest) 1983 - Melissa (Mercyful Fate) 1984 - Ride The Lightning (Metallica) 1985 - Spreading The Disease (Anthrax) 1986 - Reign In Blood (Slayer) 1987 - Nightfall (Candlemass) 1988 - Danzig s/t 1989 - Altars of Madness (Morbid Angel) 1990 - Rust In Peace (Megadeth) 1991 - Arise (Sepultura) 1992 - Holy Mountain (Sleep) 1993 - Undertow (TOOL) 1994 - Burn My Eyes (Machine Head) 1995 - Symbolic (Death) 1996 - The Jester Race (In Flames) 1997 - City (Strapping Young Lad) 1998 - Nightfall in Middle-Earth (Blind Guardian) 1999 - The Gathering (Testament)

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Hard to argue with your list mate. A lot of great music there

[@SomerankeroffYT]

@@ThatMetalBlokethank you, looking forward to The Cure ranking video!

[@Riksi80]

93. Sepultura - Chaos A.D. Pantera is my favorite band, ever. However; 94. Machine Head - Burn My Eyes 95. Fear Factory - Demanufacture 97. Deftones - Around The Fur 98. Fear Factory - Obsolete 99. Slipknot - Slipknot

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Can't believe I missed Deftones and Slipknot

[@Riksi80]

I mean. So much good stuff. It happens.

[@markflower8885]

'92 has got to go to "Angel Dust". When it comes to influencing other bands it's been name checked so many times and still sounds unique and fresh today.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I agree that it is hugely influential but the amounts of bands who site Pantera as an influence is crazy

[@kawadakick]

Man no Crowbar Odd Fellows Rest for 1998?! That thing is an all timer and only gets better with age. I still love your videos

[@ThatMetalBloke]

There are a ton of albums I missed off of this list. That's the problem with doing something like this last minute.

[@Simon-T.]

Can't really argue too much with the list so far. And I've really enjoyed the last couple of vidoes.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Thanks a lot bro. Plenty more to come 🤘

I couldn't live without it as much as it pains me to admit. So handy when I'm away from home

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

I completely understand your logic with agreeing with Black Album for 91 but I can't pick that over some of the insane albums out that year haha. I just can't do it!!!!

Fair enough mate

[@stephanniebrewster2968]

Great video.

Thanks!

[@kmo_1612]

Has to be Heartwork; like you say, it was so influential

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Incredible album

[@joneprometheus]

My list of metal albums from the 90's would definitely look very different. It would Probably be something like this: 1990 - Entombed - Left Hand Path 1991 - Dismember - Like An Ever Flowing Stream 1992 - Dream Theater - Images and Words 1993 - My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans 1994 - Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes 1995 - Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery 1996 - Edge Of Sanity - Crimson 1997 - Empyrium - Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields 1998 - Death - The Sound Of Perseverance 1999 - Opeth - Still Life

[@Andy-m6j]

Yes my dude - those first 10 seconds 🤣 gold

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Cheers bro. Thought I'd try something different 😂

[@jovan9989]

The 90's is so tough to decide on, i think though I'd put for 96 the "Through Silver In Blood" by Neurosis. It's just a game changer record, it's basically a record that created a whole Post Metal genre. I'm happy for Dillinger though, my favourite by them.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Through Silver is an amazing album for sure. One of my favourite Neurosis albums

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

Love Beneath The Remains, but I agree. Altars of Madness is absolutely better. I also agree Arise would've been a harder choice

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Alters is such a great album

[@maglik2cab]

1970 Deep Purple In Rock 1980 Black Sabbath 1983 Iron Maiden 1984 Manowar 1988 Helloween Keeper pt.2 1993 Death I.T.P. 1994 Tiamat Wildhoney 1995 Death Symbolic 1996 Katatonia B.M.D. 1997 Mekong Delta - pictures 1998 Rhapsody 😅 1999 Testament Agree on the others :)

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Good choices mate. Hard to argue

[@bananaempijama]

Katatonia....you have my like. I think it's a band that needs more recognition.

[@jackbrown4697]

A Cure album ranking eh? Faith and Pornography are masterpieces, hoping they are high on the ranking. Could you rank Meshuggah's albums at some point? They've had such a fantastic discography in my eyes, so that would be a great video.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I'll definitely do a Meshuggah ranking at some point. Probably early next year as I have a lot planned for this year already

[@mozsab]

1993 - Paradise Lost - Icon 1996 - Edge of Sanity - Crimson

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Great albums

[@vanmantalksMetal]

I agree “burn my eyes” is a very influential album and Dillinger a very influential band. But where is the Nu-metal love 94 has to be Korns debut and 99 has to be Slipknots debut

[@ThatMetalBloke]

There were a lot of albums I missed to be fair. Thought that pre workout was doing me a favour but I was scatty as fuck doing this one 😂

[@vanmantalksMetal]

@ tbf that must of been a tricky video to make, trying to get every metal album in each year up on screen. I just thought you might be dodging nu metal but I know you love it 😂😂

[@ThatMetalBloke]

It was way more stressful than I expected. Was supposed to be an easy video to do last minute 😂 Would have definitely put Slipknot in if I had remembered

[@RWalters81]

Stuff you didn't mention: 1994 - Amorphis - Tales From A Thousand Lakes (I would still choose Burn My Eyes) 1995 - Paradise Lost - Draconian Times (I would choose this) 1998 - Blind Guardian - Nightfall of Middle Earth (I would choose this) 1999 - Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory (easy #1 of that year) Also, IMO Meshuggah was doing the Djenty stuff before or same time as Fear Factory. (I do love Fear Factory too)

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Good choices mate. As far as Meshuggah go. I meant they got more credit in the long run. Didn't explain myself very well 😂

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

Great pick for 97 with City. But I'd have to agree with the article with Emperor

[@ThatMetalBloke]

It's City all the way for me but I love the Emperor album as well

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

@ThatMetalBloke City is amazing, my friend. I feel like SYL doesn't get talked about much anymore unfortunately

[@ThatMetalBloke]

[@tillwesenberg1178]

Agree with much of your picks. Apart from the Black Album, which almost brought me out of metal. You can't leave out half of the 70's! 😮 1979 would, of course, be Overkill with Bomber following in second place.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I was in such a fluster doing this video that my brain wasn't firing on all cylinders. I will re-address the 70's albums at some stage

1992 Honorable Mention: Ugly Kid Joe America's Least Wanted

[@lucus55]

Ha ha underrated album, I wore out that cassette back in the day!! Such a fun band and album

[@DasTod]

I would throw Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear into the ring for 1988. I think that is a huge influence for the whole power metal genre. Also in 1994 I would definitely pick Emperor's "In the nightside eclipse". That Album is way more important than "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk", not saying "Welkin" is bad, but the influence their first one had is way more important.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I prefer Nightside as well. Fantastic album.

[@chrisdrury9723]

1994 - Burn My Eyes definitely beats Far Beyond Driven. I think FBD rides the wave of being a #1 album, but there are a couple of filler tracks for me. Whereas BME is just epic and brutal all the way through.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

That was my thinking as well and as I had already represnted Pantera with Vulgar I figured that BME should take top spot

[@kawadakick]

1993 belongs to Heartwork. I love Chaos AD, but they did rip off Helmet in parts... Not a bad thing! Also 1993 brought us Entombed with Wolverine Blues!

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Great albums both. I love Chaos A.D. and Heartwork equally. I like Wolverine Blues but it doesn't hold up to the first 2 albums for me

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

94 would be In The Nightside Eclipse for me

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Great choice. Great album

[@Matias-music-71]

I would say Metal on Metal by Anvil was likely the first thrash album , but such things are very subjective ..,

[@Matias-music-71]

94 belongs to NIN , what an album ..,

[@Matias-music-71]

Master is great , but man Sabotage for me was the game changer ..,

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Will always be Master for me

[@bananaempijama]

1986 has to be Slayer "Reign in Blood". 1990 is Painkiller. THE metal album for me, what represents the genre as a whole 1993 is Chaos AD. One of my first loves in Metal. 1995 is Demanufacture. But I think it was Meshuggah who started the djent stuff with Destroy Erase Improve, also from 1995. Ministry deserved a year but it goes against beast bands.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Great picks. With Messugah, I just meant that they get a lot of credit for the syncopated stuff while FF seem to have been forgotten

[@Matias-music-71]

83 , even if not a fan , but have to go with Motley Crue here ..,

[@Matias-music-71]

Ride the Lightning is a masterpiece , but lets be honest , Metallica did not break down doors until Master of Puppets , by then they became household names ..,

[@ThatMetalBloke]

That is true but I hear more and more people saying they prefer Ride over Master nowadays. Great album

[@Matias-music-71]

@@ThatMetalBloke , both great , maybe now a bit hip or cool to say one prefers Ride over Master ?

True and I love that album but I think Pantera get it for this year

[@andrewreday3519]

In 1993 I think Carcass "Heartwork" album is the best for that year, but only by bee's dick over Sepultura "Chaos AD". Bill Steer is such an underrated guitarist, his riff's are just incredible and with Michael Amott in the band at the time it was a great combination of lead and rhythm guitar work. The reason it is the best for 93 is due to the relentless riff's that are played, each song doesn't let you go from start to finish. Songs such as "Embodiment", "Arbeit Macht Fleisch" and "This Mortal Coil" are just phenomenal.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

Completely agree the Bill is very underrated. Not only is he an amazing lead player but his riffs are some of the best out there

Vulgar Display of Power is the worst thing to happen to metal almost in the entire history of metal. It brought on groove metal, all your favourite thrash bands released that worst albums because of it, it influenced groove, metalcore, nu metal and all the worst shit that came out in the 90's Fuck Pantera, Fuck Phil Anselmo, Psuedo tough guy bullshit, shit riffs shit vocals, people say they carried the flag for metal or whatever in the 90's I say they are the downfall for metal in that era. There was a heap of great stuff being released, no-where near any of that terrible groove nu metal shit.

[@w-james9277]

What's your favourite album to workout to? 💪

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I have a playlist with around a 1000 songs on that I call 'The Shit' and I play that on random. Death metal, grindcore, hardcore, thrash and groove

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

Surely, based on your own criteria, Dio's Holy Diver would be number 1 in 83? I'd say that's a perfect album, extremely influential, and I'd say ALL metalheads love this album and even non metalheads. Kill 'em All is rarely considered Metallica' best album. Now, I absolutely love Kill 'em All, but I was trying to be fair it's a pretty flawed album. The flaws are part of it's charm but I still think for that reason it shouldn't be number 1 if I was trying to be as objective as possible.

[@ThatMetalBloke]

I totally get your point but I still go with Kill Em All for the influence. I know it's not perfect but it was something completely new.

[@ChonkyMIG-15]

Deep Purple - Machine Head 73. Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 74. Deep Purple - Burn 75. Rush - Fly By Night 76. Rainbow - Rising (JP - Sad Wings of Destiny is REALLLLLY close behind.

Queensrÿche - Operation Mindcrime (I will fight anyone who disagrees, although The Warning is my 3rd fav album of alltime and I prefer it over this album) 89. Danzig - Danzig 90. Judas Priest - Painkiller (Megadeth is overrated AF) 91. Metallica - Black Album 92. Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark (I know this is a very controversion one, I used to not be the biggest fan of this album, always loved title track & Judas Be My Guide though) (Or Danzig III) 93. Dio - Strange Highways (Incredibly underrated album, my fav Dio(solo band) album) 94. Helloween - Master of the Rings 95. Opeth - Orchid 96.
