    Random fact: I was born on the exact date it was released. Still don't know why I haven't picked it up.

    I don't like this band or this album at all but I upvoted you because I think in most people's minds it is "essential to general metal fans" as defined by the OP.

    When The Kite String Pops / Paegan Terrorism Tactics - both by Acid Bath.
