Pretty much. Amazing how everyone’s ultimate favorites are almost always something they heard from ages 14 - 25 at a formative point in their lives. I know that’s still very much my wheelhouse of music even still today.

I love Awake, Images and Words, Metropolis Pt 2, and the second disc of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, but I really enjoy the ones where the entire album is basically a modern symphony from start to finish and ToT just hits every note for me perfectly.

There are more polished albums, I’ll grant you, but it was the first one I heard and still seems to be the one I constantly return to, so I figure it’s my favorite of theirs. For better or worse!

Too many, and not all of them are metal. But, sticking with the theme of the community…

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

Suffocation - Pierced From Within

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

Gorgasm - Masticate To Dominate

Metallica - Ride The Lightning

Slayer - Decade Of Aggression

Pantera - 101 Proof

Dream Theater - Train Of Thought

Nile - Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka

Panzerchrist - Soul Collector

Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness

Dying Fetus - Stop At Nothing

Burzum - Filosofem

Sepultura - Chaos A.D.

It is very well polished. The guitar melodies are prominent throughout. I also really like how the drums compliment the band well and don’t overpower everything unless they mean to.

I always enjoy, for those that don’t listen to it, playing “Into the Dead Sky” and asking how they like death metal. And then as they answer there’s the gun rack and the opening of “Suicide Nation”.

Well I guess I know what I’m listening to in the morning!

I love this whole album so much and still blast it all the time!

Always upvote Sepultura!

What about Pluto?

Horns up! 🤘

X265 all day long. Changed out most of my rips and gained terabytes of space back with no loss in quality.

It’s amazing being able to hold an entire season of a show in the space that just a couple episodes at 264 would have used.
