RandallFlagg Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Individual Thought Patterns by Deathi cant believe i forgot this album on my list. this is my favorite death lineup chucklaRocque(who i love with king diamond)digiorgio(who is in so many amazing bands)hoglan(beast of a drummer)i never could understand some of the slight to this album same goes with spiritual healingTotally agree! The album is a 10/10 imo (Like several other Death releases) I think it suffers by being the kinda bridge between the two beasts of Human and Symbolic which are hailed as more groundbreaking. The concepts (as always) are so deeply layered, perfectly reflected by the music, flows beautifully and devastatingly and takes you in unexpected directions. Can't get enough of DiGiorgio on that fretless, elevates some of the stuff into downright trippy territory! I actually rate it slightly higher than Human, there's just that bit more flavour. Every track is golden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Dance Of Death by Iron MaidenThat really is one of my least favorite Maiden albums. I'll never understand why some people adore it so much. I only like 8/11ths of the album, and I only find half of those spectacular. That's a small number for a Maiden album.Great songwriting for me. Rainmaker is my favorite up-tempo rocker from Maiden, and it was really the start of the progginess of the last few albums. Only song that doesn't settle too well with me is Age Of Innocence. But No More Lies, Dance Of Death, New Frontier, Paschendale, all killer tracks. And Journeyman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 great albumNo kidding dude, there was some actual effort put into that album. My favorite: King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime by Faith No More.I played the hell out of that album for a couple years. Underrated for sure.

GivenToFly Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) The World War 1 battle.One of the very few Iron Maiden songs with decent lyrics.Includes a phenomenal opening lyrical verse: (surprisingly good for this band; an extremely powerful lyrical image and put very well into words)In a foreign field he layLonely soldier unknown graveWith his dying words he prays"Tell the world of Paschendale..."Gives me shivers every time I listen to it.Brilliant song.

RocketQueen1985 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Jar of flies from AIC maybe? I don't really know if it was underrated at the time it was released, but I think it's a masterpiece and relatively unknown. From GNR: The Spaghetti Incident? and, of course, Chinese Democracy.I agree with Jar Of FliesGuns N' Roses - Chinese DemocracyMichael Jackson - InvincibleHole - Nobody's DaughterCourtney Love - America's SweetheartScott Weiland - both of his solo albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't think Bruce Dickinson's lyrics are brilliant? Different strokes I guess. He's far and away my favorite lyricist. I can't get enough of Starblind's lyrics for instance.But yes, absolutely to the rest of the post. I honestly believe it's one of the best songs ever written. It's what got me interested in WWI. Adrian Smith's solo is perhaps my favorite guitar solo ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Down - III: over the underpeople seem not to dig the production and epicness of some of the songs. to me it still works. it's Down, damnit. N.O.D is one of Down's absolute best songs.Jar of flies from AIC maybe? I don't really know if it was underrated at the time it was released, but I think it's a masterpiece and relatively unknown.It's a great great EP but surely not underrated?Jar of Flies is the third studio EP by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on January 25, 1994 through Columbia Records. It is the first EP in music history to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 Chart and was well-received by critics. The EP has since been certified double-platinum by the RIAA and has gone on to sell 4 million copies worldwide. Jar of Flies is one of the biggest sellers in Alice in Chains' catalogue."don't follow" from the EP is underrated. nutshell gets all the love but IMO don't follow is the best song on JoF.

Desperado Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 In Flames- Sounds of a Playground Fading+1everytime I say I think this is their best album all I hear is "they have changed and just because of that it's bad", "anders sings.....that's bad", "there's a pop song on this so it's bad.... everything that sounds happy or soft is bad" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Down IV's EPs will be awesome too.Some others for me:Queensrÿche - Promised LandRush - CounterpartsThe Ramones - Adios AmigosSupertramp - Crisis? What Crisis?Deep Purple - Perfect StrangersIron Maiden - Dance of Death (definitely agree with others on this one)Porcupine Tree - Stupid DreamSkid Row - Subhuman RaceBilly Joel - Glass HousesQueens of the Stone Age - Era VulgarisTestament - The RitualYes - Going For The One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Pink Floyd's Animals is severely under rated, it's on par with anything else they put out but overlooked due to the insane bookends of Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
