Rock/Metal Albums That Still Sound New

The Cat · 05-08-2009, 03:46 PM

Dont know if this thread wil work! i have been thinking about old(er) albums that if released today would still feel fresh or ground breaking, i think this should only apply to albums that are 10 years old or older. So i will start it off with these three

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine (1992)

Still as inovative and original as it was when it was released in 1992

Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales (1984)

Not Tecchnically a thrash metal album but still sounds great today 25 years after its first release and IMO the best album they made, Dethroned Emperor one of my top tracks of the genre

The Doors - The Doors (1967)

Years ahead of its time..i would have loved to have been around when this was released even hearing it in its entirity some 20 years after its first release it sounded unique and original.

I suppose the best example would be Slayer - Reign In Blood, it could have been recorded yesterday or any time within the past 23 years. It hasn't dated a bit compared to other metal albums released in 1986 such as Master Of Puppets.

ah, i don't have that Celtic Frost album! here's some of mine:

20 years old and still relevant on music today.

in a competition between RHCP and FNM this little bastard easily beats the best the Chili Peppers have to offer.

I Agree with the Slayer but i dont think that Master of Puppets has dated it is my favorite album of the big 4 of that year...agreed thet Reign in Blood is a more groundbreaking and unique album.

Sorry for double posting! could not get the two qoutes on...

Come On! Faith No Mores Angel Dust better than anything the chilis can offer....Napalm Death though Awesome!

Maybe we should just use debut albums as that the first time you hear the band, so in that respect the debut Faith No More album is very good

Didn't even need to think about this

Zer0 · 05-08-2009, 05:00 PM

This album is still ahead of it's time

FNM's first album was an atrocity, they still had Chuck Moseley on vocals. but Angel Dust really is that good, with none of the overblown crap you'll find on any of RHCP's records.

and i'm not a Mike Patton fan per se, i don't really care for Mr. Bungle or anything he did in the last ten years, but i can recognize a funky masterpiece when i hear one.

Well I bought Nothingface when it came out. I didn't end up getting Killing Technology till ....ohh last Saturday

I had heard a couple of their earlier albums before I got Nothingface , they were alright but I didn't really rate them that highly, so really it was Nothingface that I identified with the most.

I'll let you know what I think of Killing Technology when I finally get around to hearing it, but it has some big shoes to fill.
