Best Album Of All Time(Christian or Secular, Metal or Non-Metal)

...And Justice For All, easy. What does everyone else think?

You're correct

Obviously the answers to this question, including mine, will be biased towards each of our favorite album we’ve ever heard, but for me it’s a tossup between Mirror of Souls and The Earth hath Opened Her Mouth. The former has two songs that blow everything on the latter away, but the latter has more of my favorite songs overall

I think when it comes to questions like this "best" usually means "favorite"

No. It's objectively AJFA

That’s not even the best Metallica album, and both of the albums I mentioned wipe the floor with Metallica. Why? Because I said so

Haha.

WhiteHeart: Freedom

Finally I know your pick! I kept wondering what bc AJFA is your choice for metal but I didn't know what your overall choice was

The Beatles - Master Of Puppets

AJFA is just consistently, from beginning to end, great songs with great lyrics, riffs, hooks, and solos.

Dokken - Back for the Attack is my favorite of all time. The band was at its peak here, and all four members delivered a tour-de-force. George Lynch, especially, lit it up on this album. He’s never been better, before or since. The drums were huge and had power. The vocals were excellent including all the harmonies that Dokken was known for. The production was clean but still allowed the power and heaviness to cut through. It’s a perfect album and it’s my favorite of all time.

Honorable mentions:
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Whitecross - s/t
Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy

Whichever one I like best this week.

My #1 album is always consistent.

I can't decide between this and Under Lock & Key as their best.  I think Lock is a little (or a lot) more consistent and I bounce around a bit on Back for the Attack.

Mindcrime would be in my top ten.  Not sure my #1...  Wish You Were Here?  Fragile?  Leftoverture? Paranoid? Images & Words? SM I? Houses of the Holy? Tyranny? Abacab?

Raekwon The Chef - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Joshua Intense Defense is likely my favorite album. Daniel Band Run From the Darkness is likely the second best or X-Sinner Get It.

I've come to the end of myself and made a decision, come to a conclusion, rested my mind on a point of no return, and had an event horizon.  And its with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I present to you on bended knee, what I think I believe to be the greatest album of all time. So here it is... it's with racing thoughts and a pocketful of sunshine that I present to you the world's finest album of all time:

Spoiler:

I’m a huge Cowboys From Hell fan. 

It has all the elements I like on one album. Plus great production.

It’s almost a tie between…

Pantera - CFH
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss 
Overkill - Horrorscope 
Metallica - Master of Puppets

From that list I'd go with MoP, it's my #2 behind AJFA.

All my choices are tight! 

I could also throw in:

Annihilator - Never, Neverland
S.T. - Lights Camera Revolution 
Anthrax - Persistence of Time
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Overkill - Years of Decay
Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery 
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare 


So many great/iconic albums!

My top four that are really the only ones that are contendors for #1, and they are
4. Weapons of our Warfare
3. Rust in Peace
2. Master of Puppets
1. And Justice For All

My favorite Christian metal albums:

Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery 
Deliverance - Weapons of Our Warfare 
The Crucified - Pillars of Humanity 
Betrayal - Renaissance by Death

Dividing them and sticking with a different band for each, it would be

5. The Crucified - Pillars of Humanity (because I can't leave that off)
4. Seventh Angel - Lament For the Weary
3. Believer - Extraction From Mortality
2. Tourniquet - Either Stop the Bleeding, Psycho Surgery, or Microscopic View, I have to relisten to decide)
1. Deliverance - Weapons of our Warfare

And secular would be hard without repeating bands, but for now I'll just go with the big four of thrash (if I had to choose one outside of them I'd go with Toxicity by System of a Down)

4. Anthrax - Among the Living
3. Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
2. RiP
1. AJFA
