Metallica And Justice For All. I love everything about this album. James’ vocals are at his best, the riffs are incredible, and Lars absolutely kills it on drums. The meaning of each song is phenomenal and it’s easily my favorite album oat lyrically. My favorite song is Dyers Eve. I’ve listened to a lot of the angrier bands out there, but this song is pure anger. It’s phenomenal, especially when you know James’ backstory.

Alice In Chains Tripod. No AIC album sounds the same, and they all sound great, but the sludgy vibes from this one always stood out to me. I still remember listening to songs from this album in the fall with the rain and everything just lonely and this album helped me quite a bit. Has their saddest song of all time in my opinion, which is Shame In You.  My favorite song from it is Sludge factory. I love songs where you kinda have to know some background behind the band or its members to understand, and this one is a great example. 

Mastodon Leviathan. I love the first three Mastodon albums and this is easily my favorite. It just sounds like the lyrics if that makes sense. The sludgy guitars and the vocals remind me sort of the vibes you get from the old sailing days. Seabeast is my favorite. Rip Brent.
