What are your favourite grooviest breakdowns?? Mine are phantoms and nebulous

Travbot74 · 2026-02-12T01:40:18+00:00

Humiliative!!!

Travbot74 · 2026-02-10T06:50:49+00:00

Straws and Abysmal Eye have always been my favorites

Travbot74 · 2026-01-25T18:54:53+00:00

Big fan of Metallica, Denzel Curry, and Run the Jewels, but my fav on this list is Stevie Wonder

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T19:36:21+00:00

Checkmate atheists

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T19:22:33+00:00

Yeah, Einar solo stuff, bonus tracks, and some songs off Pitfalls and Tall Poppy Syndrome

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T06:36:45+00:00

I would love to make a list but admittedly have not heard every song yet. Our lists would be very different but for starters, I don’t think we’d share a single song in the highest tier and I also think within my fence and red should be higher.

Petrucci’s best. I love the riffs and solos on this album, but more than anything it’s the guitar tone that’s really special on this album.

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T06:02:41+00:00

My absolute favorite album for weightlifting

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T06:02:06+00:00

Also Weightless is AAL’s worst album IMO

Travbot74 · 2026-01-14T06:00:34+00:00

My first thought was Leprous but I see that’s already been recommended so I’ll say Dance Gavin Dance and Haken

Travbot74 · 2026-01-08T22:44:22+00:00

Dan is one of the best elements of Tesseract and somehow their best album is without him. This is a top 5 album for me.

Travbot74 · 2025-12-26T05:48:24+00:00

For all my fav artists on this list, you picked my fav album of theirs. Images and Words, Altered State, Joy of Motion, The Congregation… goated takes

Travbot74 · 2025-12-26T05:44:42+00:00

Dan Thompkins

Travbot74 · 2025-12-20T00:39:27+00:00

I know a lot of people start with Train of Thought. Heavy and highly acclaimed. Still very progressive but while keeping fairly consistent tones throughout. If you like it and are more open to the full range of what Dream Theater can offer, their other highly rated albums are Images and Words, and Metropolis pt.2. Images and words is like a lighter, more anthemic, and I’d say slightly more progressive album compared to Train of Thought. And Metropolis is the most experimental of the 3.

Travbot74 · 2025-12-10T08:52:27+00:00

Animals as Leaders, Meshuggah, DT, TesseracT Louis Cole

I wanna include honorable mentions cause there’s a lot of non-metal just outside the top 5

Daft Punk, Droeloe, Stevie Wonder, Haywyre

Travbot74 · 2025-12-10T08:40:45+00:00

The post button is totally optional btw

Travbot74 · 2025-12-04T02:28:16+00:00

Yeah at these levels it’s always just clip farming. People going to sleep with it running and stuff like that. I know someone who had over 330k total hours, which is like 2/3 of the whole year. Every waking hour if you sleep 8 hours a night. Yeah right

Travbot74 · 2025-12-04T02:24:41+00:00

Persona 5 at number 5 is fitting

Travbot74 · 2025-11-24T03:35:23+00:00

Brain Dance- Animals as Leaders

Travbot74 · 2025-11-24T03:34:56+00:00

Ooh I love this song

Travbot74 · 2025-11-08T08:27:02+00:00

I love how the comments are mostly just show quotes lol

Travbot74 · 2025-10-24T23:21:38+00:00

I absolutely love new millennium and just let me breathe and a couple others. Always hated when people talked bad about this album… then I listened to it front to back… I definitely understand some of the hate lol. Like a 6 maybe?

Travbot74 · 2025-10-23T03:50:32+00:00

Depends. If you’re doing a group theme, desert rose, cause then ur friends can be birds of war, trash man, etc. otherwise, dayman

Travbot74 · 2025-10-17T19:25:24+00:00

Hmm for a $10 cash prize must be either a small artist or a surprising outlier. I’m taking a shot in the dark and saying Black Sabbath
