All wonderful choices, but this one takes it for me:Jumpman Jr. said:
Devin Townsend - "Terria"
The entire human experience in one epic, breathtaking metal album. The densely layered arrangements and massive production lend it an emotional sweep akin to a film score, and it has a stream-of-consciousness lyrical flow all its own. A classic Devin record, and one of the best examples of why he's a living legend at a relatively young 35. This is probably tied with his Ocean Machine album as my all time favorite, but I'll go ahead and give the edge to Terria because "Earth Day" has been running through my head lately.
It's not often I recommend metal albums to people who aren't interested in getting into metal, but I'll definitely make an exception in this case.

Preach it. PREACH IT!
A seriously pretentious concept album gone seriously wrong.
It annoys me that 1979 is on that album, cos it's a great song.
It's a crazy kinda thread, but if it wasn't Achtung Baby for me, it would be:-
waaaaaaa not work safe.

I'd love to agree, but it is bloated and overproduced. It really should have been one disc. This prevents the album from being great. I'm in a small minority, but I still think that Adore is their best album. It is definitely their most mature and it hasn't aged a bit.
My vote would have to go to The Downward Spiral by NIN. It sounded futuristic when it first came out and it still sounds futuristic now. Closer, Mr. Self Destruct, A Warm Place, March of the Pigs, Heresy, Ruiner, etc. are songs I can listen to over and over. It has some of the best layering, if not the best, that I've ever heard. Incredibly abrasive and textured at the same time. The album isn't perfect, but it's something that I listen to on a regular basis and it's my personal favorite. Kid A is a very close second.

I'd have to say that The Fragile is a better album, but then The Fragile has been accused of being NIN's Mellon Collie :lol
The Fragile may not be the best album ever, but it's the best double album, and the best concept album as far as I'm concerned.

To me, The Fragile comes off as very showy and self-important. Originally, the album was going to be divided up into two parts. One disc was going to be all instrumentals and the other was going to be all songs. This would have helped, but it still would have had the same exact problems as Mellon Collie. Here's the thing: Reznor should never sing-song/rap. Ever. Give me the dark, drug fueled, rage-filled Reznor any day.

Maybe not my favorite album, but it's really chill and grows on you. Making it my choice solely so people who have missed out on it might give it a chance.

:lol Wow, what an obscure album to pop up in this thread.
I enjoy it, but I wouldn't have guessed anyone on GAF listened to it, let alone would nominate it.
