ITT: Perfect albums
to be more specific, what is a perfect album to you? What can you personally listen to from start to finish. My picks are probably shit, but curious to see what you guys choose.
ITT: Perfect albums
Daniel Sanchez
Camden Campbell
>HEY LITTLE BOY, WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
Julian Ross
Not even a house guy, but every track is worth sitting through
Ryan Clark
the malaise of Class, the ecstasy of Synkro, and the catharsis of Tessio. This album never gets old, in fact, the atmosphere only becomes more intoxicating upon revisits.
Levi Wood
>Kind sir it's a mollusk i've found
Connor Roberts
Based as fuck user. Just picked up the vinyl version
Justin Sullivan
Parker Diaz
Did you find it in the sandy ground?
Carson Wood
Oh shit, nice. I have it on CD, but been meaning to pick up the vinyl release as well.
Asher Gray
Yes, I found it on the ground.
Liam Johnson
>Does it emulate the ocean sound?
Jaxson Green
It probably doesn't help that every track is 1 minute, but shit is powerful
Grayson Morris
Bring forth the mollusk cast unto thee
Jace Cooper
I like gbv too :)

(My apologies for the inclusion of thrash in this list here)
Sabire - Gates Ajar: an Aussie band, they call themselves “Acid Metal” or some shit, but their previously mentioned release was a fantastic ride all the way through, although slightly less energetic on the tail end. It has some sexual themes, but explores them well without becoming awkward.
Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise: some of Canada’s best BM, unrelenting in every way, but at the same time they maintain complex songwriting and production that keeps instruments distinct instead of making a compressed block of sound. Vocals also maintain a human tone, which brings the music closer to home than other bands ever could (a bit like Weakling, except much more lofi).
Black Curse - Endless Wound: the best sound of any Death Metal record in ages. They nailed the sound of every instrument on this album, and they let them all put in their own nuanced and creative bit to make this album weigh 1000 tonnes all the way through. Heaviest blackened Death Metal for ages.
Panopticon - Roads to the North: Best Atmospheric Folk Metal record of all time. Listen to it yourself. That this was a one man project is unbelievable. About 15 minutes of Blackened Folk Metal for every 5 of Bluegrass, and elements fade together between tracks. Nailed the blend, Austin.
Kwade Droes - Onder de Toren: Listen to it yourself. It might not be outstandingly technical, but it sounds like the solitary confinement block of an 1890s mental asylum. No explaining the sound of this one.

not by a long shot user
Carter Price
Hey, well, educate me, I’d be glad.
Logan Foster
I too am curious. Appreciate you putting these up, user. I'll check these out tonight
Charles Campbell
Every track is gold
Brody Bailey
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Liam Butler
Anytime.
Samuel Diaz
Based ween posters unite. Here's another for your trouble.
Justin Campbell
He did a great job on this
Jose Thompson
Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite by Ruins of Beverast, Rain Apon the Impure would have been here too if the sound engineer hadn’t fucked it over.
Christian Kelly
Not to disparage Thantifaxath too much. They're not my thing but if you like them that's alright. Here are my favourite Canadian BM bands

Overall nothing too obscure, but I've never been a fan of Thantifaxath myself. The production has always been too clean, and I found the riffs to be lacking.
Alexander Wood
William Phillips
Grayson Morris
Every single track is an 8/10 or higher. Fucking killer record.
Jaxon Ward
Based and brownpilled
Benjamin Watson
Fair enough, the songwriting could get better, and almost a decade after their first EP, it should be better. I like the production, though, because it keeps the different instruments distinct, and along with the time signature changes it keeps you on edge.
Zachary Perez
I understand your point about the production keeping the instruments distinct. I think it comes down to different approaches to black metal. Personally, I prefer it when the production causes the instruments to blend together into one block of sound.
Justin Brooks
Thoughts??? I love this album, wonder what you guys think.
Adam Jackson
Yeah, that’s a fair point. It comes down to wether you prefer to soak up the atmosphere or cherrypick the nuances. Cheers for the reccomendations, too, each one now has a spot on the playlist.
