Metallica - 1986 - Master of Puppets

Oh boy. This is a beast of an album. Seriously one of the heavy metal classic of all time. Even if you don't like Metallica, if you haven't given this album a chance, you should try it. The opening track ("Battery") has the best freaking intro and the rest of the album is just so monumental it's barely worth mentioning. You'll see what I mean when you throw it on. I'm not really sure what else to say, but the best track on the album is "Orion." It's completely instrumental and just huge. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. Try it. You'll like it.

Black Flag - 1984 - Slip It In


Black Flag's first album that really demonstrates its shift towards punk/metal crossover. The title song is awesome and the second half gets really experimental and sludgy.

Leftöver Crack - 2001 - Mediocre Generica


Super fucking hardcore. Lots of screaming, anti-globalization themes, and some really awesome riffs. Plus some hilariously irreverent classical interludes. Great crusty ska-punk. Highly highly highly recommended. Get ready to fucking kill some cops.

Haven't actually listened to this yet, but it's some rare Metallica shit if you're interested. It's all covers of old metal songs.
