Multiple releases from the same artist are allowed, even preferred for important artists.

116. Mastodon - Blood Mountain (2006) I'll start with Blood Mountain. Mastodon, who happen to be one of my favorite bands, are quite deserving of a few spots on this list. Blood Mountain is , IMO, their best record. It balances perfectly, the aggressive undertones of earlier records Remission and Leviathan, while incorporating that progressive metal style they would explore more in later records like Crack the Skye and Emperor of Sand. Tracks such as Colony of Birchman, and Siberian Divide exemplify the style of Blood Mountain in every possible (positive) way. It's the perfect entry point into both styles of mastodon, the more aggressive fast paced style, and the more melodic progressive style. Balance is the word of the day for this album. Also Joshua Homme is on this record, I am a huge Queens of the Stone Age fan, so that is a plus as well.

117. Protector - A Shedding of Skin (1991) Death Thrash Death thrash is life, and Protector are top notch practitioners. Once you get done with Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint, and Exhorder, then this album might as well be your next stop, cause you won't find better. The riffs are of that perfect type that are vicious and high-energy, but also stick in your head, making this one of those few albums of its kind that is legitimately memorable. Helping this are the relatively short tracks that don't really **** about with long instrumental passages or other assorted wankery, making everything short, sweet, and highly visceral. Thrashing out to this monster is pretty much the law, but you won't need any court decisions to get your head banging.

Batty, number your damn album, dude. 118. Theocracy - As the World Bleeds (2011) Someone told me (think it was Ki; yeah it was) that these dudes are Christian metal? Wouldn't know it from listening to them. Progressive metal with just the right mix of aggression and flair. Still intend to dip further into their catalogue. Short review here. http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ml#post1211436

I'm glad to see this, hopefully, back in motion. There are plenty more albums I can think of for this list. Hopefully more people hop back in.

Trollheart we have a problem....
You posted the Orphaned Land album twice. 58 and 106. I don't care for the record personally but I feel it should be removed from one of those spots.
