Yeah, #1 would be hard to argue.

Thanks to this list I just listened to Funeralopolis and shit. I'm pissed off now I've been missing out the whole time. I need to catch up big time.

I'd have to listen to them back to back (and I don't have time to do it now), but I'd have to guess that I would probably consider "Gin" to be heavier than "Eater of Birds".

That, and I'll bet I could think of some pretty heavy shit that's not on here but should be.

However, having said the above...

This, I guess.

Dopesmoker should have been higher and WTF is with no Melvins or Harvey Mlk?

[JRA]

It needs Slowly We Rot, but yea it's not a bad list.

The only bad thing about this list is that it's compiled by NME, so it's mainly going to be ultra-accessible doom/stoner metal. No real "heaviest metal records of all time" is real until a Bolt Thrower album is on it. That's not bias, it's just the truth.

Astoundingly true. I didn't even think of it when I first looked at the list, but now that you mention it, <facepalm> "Fucking Bolt Thrower!"

I'm glad you said heaviest "metal" album. I know some pretty heavy country albums that would have given Dopethrone a run for its money.
