That second list is even worse than the original one.

Is British Steel really heavy?
This list could have been much better. The self imposed limitation of only one album per artist really was a mistake. Also, I'm not sure what planet you are living on when you say that fucking Korn s/t is heavy. Also, I like Mastodon, but if you were going to put a truly heavy band currently going I think High on Fire would be a better pick.

agreed, british steel is great, but it's really a great pop metal album...earlier stuff like sin after sin or stained class is much heavier...as is later stuff like painkiller

I like the idea of "heaviest" as not just a list of brutal DM/grindcore but more like "the heaviest at the time in a genre and/or a large part of society ever had heard" but still...no Bolt Thrower?

In honor of the Sabbath reunion, I listened to Master of Reality tonight over some beers and some other things. Not only is it the heaviest album of all time, it is also the best.
― You're a notch, I'm a legend (Bill Magill), Saturday, 12 November 2011 04:19 (twelve years ago) link
I listened to Vol.4, Sabotage, Master of Reality, Heaven And Hell and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath yesterday. Sabotage won.

Really enjoyed your Sabbath rundown Doranhttp://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&p=11436&title=black_sabbath_rate_the_albums&more=1&c=1
Metal as a genre didn’t really get too big on the whole Satanism business until Venom broke ranks in the early 80s and said, ‘Way aye man, ye divnae wanna praise god ye wanna hail that gadge Satan.’

i have heard (but don't necessarily 'own') 5 of the not-really-metal albums.
― some dude, Saturday, 12 November 2011 12:53 (twelve years ago) link
Awesome that American Nightmare is on there, although I don't have that record. Is the general thing to call them American Nightmare still or Give Up The Ghost? Has everybody managed to forget about the "original" American Nightmare yet?

dj mencap are you responsible?
nah I think they just threw it together in the office yesterday afternoon, p much just to get traffic on their Facebook page
same deal w/ the Korn album though, Loveless is the sort of thing that should be on there rather than the Tryptikon album which may well be great but isn't, as far as I can see, making anyone think differently about how to be 'heavy'

British Steel is full of the kind of tunes you can whistle in the shower. Even if that shower might be in prison.
