And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

true, though i'd prefer them at any metal concert and when i first heard them i could hear their riffs as influencing later sludge metal bands

I checked and the only metal album of the 2010s on the list is... none.

For the 21st century as a whole:
Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

yes. All metal albums you MUST hear from the 21st century are those four.

Wonderful Rainbow sticks out like a sore loving thumb doesn't it?

No Blackwater Park? Colors? The Blackening?

gently caress this is dire.

Many metal fans would also say the other three albums aren’t metal either, but that is not a debate for the indie rock thread.

tbh idk what you'd call nu metal if it's not metal

anyway, yeah, I can agree that whatever nu metal is, it sure as hell isn't indie rock (with the exception of certain Deftones tunes lmao)

An alt rock subgenre. Plus Slipknot is certainly on the more metallic end of it than Linkin Park. If you were forged in the fires of internet metal subforums it’s a discussion you’ve seen a million times and basically have the arguments and counter arguments memorized. I used to care more but now I’m like, I’m almost 30 and know what categories of music I like and don’t like, who cares.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
I just can't imagine anyone saying "you must hear Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" before dying.

Is that so you know no matter what death holds, it can't be any worse than this world?

well i did notice it might be the only list ever that amongst for example LCD Soundsystem or Arcade Fire or Sufjan... they really think you absolutely must listen to The Klaxons debut album and The Vines Highly Evolved before you die

So many great metal albums and that list is hilariously pathetic. I'm a very casual metal fan too...

True, but this thread is pretty DIRE most of the time so any music discussion that loosely compares is good, no? The indies having a word on metal and album lists ain't so bad when you get a couple replies a day on average.

Time for Spoon's new album Lucifer on the Sofa today, I'm loving everything I've heard so far but need to give it a full listen through later on. They're continuing the trend of great opening tracks with a Bill Callahan cover this time.

Spoon are a sneaky band for me, I never really rate them that high or think about them often but they're super dependable in that I can always put on any one of their records and enjoy it quite a bit, then kinda forget about them again. That's gotta be worth something even if they'll never be a favorite of mine. Just a solid band.

Meanwhile I'm surprised by how much I like the new Big Thief album cause until now I always wanted to like them more than I actually did. I'm only familiar with their two 2019 records other than this one and I liked them well enough, but this one's grabbed me so much more immediately. It feels more energetic and somewhat looser, and teeming with a lot of life. "Little Things" and "Simulation Swarm" are the ones that instantly stand out to me after two listens.

"I think if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that Penn State and Michigan both suck and are garbage and it’s hilarious Michigan fans are freaking out thinking this is their natty window when they can’t even beat a B12 team in the playoffs lmao"
Spoon hasn’t had a good album since Kill the Moonlight imo, but it’s an all timer so I’ll always sample whatever they’re releasing.

I'll echo what a lot of people have said in that Spoon are super solid and I'll check out their releases.

However I've seen them live twice and uh, I'll stick to throwing them on Spotify every so often. Definitely not a live band.
