“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.
( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.
Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )
Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second
The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version
My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums

I’m surprised that I enjoyed these. Only know them from transformers and never listened again. Thanks for sharing!

Love the ska version! totally not my test but it’s fun
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
I saw a youtube comment: Discovering Neal when I was into Christianity, and after I left that belief his music is one of the few things that still remain from those years, and this album, by far, is one of my favorites. Long live the art of music
That is surprisingly good!
