Honestly, the only album by this band that I've found interesting so far is Winter Wake.  I think The Scythe is on the same level as their first two albums.

I have to completely and utterly disagree with you there. The Scythe is terrible as far as I'm concerned. The first two + Two Tragedy Poets (ironically their acoustic album is better than most of their metal albums) are pretty much essential as far as I'm concerned.

I said this yesterday, but I convinced myself to give Far Beyond Driven a listen today.  It's the only Pantera album I own.  I used to have the live album, but didn't like it much, and the rest of their albums belonged to my brother.

I rarely get the urge to listen to Pantera these days (mostly because, as I got older, my musical horizon has broadened so much that rather then being a central figure in my musical universe Pantera became one of many figures), but whenever I listen to "Cowboys from Hell" and "Far Beyond Driven", I enjoy it as much now as I did back then. I like "Far Beyond Driven", too, but it never impressed me as much as the two other albums did. I was never interested in the post "Far Beyond..."-releases.

It's weird that this topic can up and gave me the urge to listen to a Pantera album again.  I didn't even realize today was the anniversary of Dime's murder. Shocked

Fitting.  I've listened to TTP today and think it's now the worst of the bunch.  Now I've got another item to contribute to this thread with.  I'd rather listen to The Scythe a hundred more times than listen to shit like "Heaven is a Place On Earth" again.

Elvenking don't do much for me.  I find them really underwhelming folk metal.  If what they do is a mixture of power metal and folk metal, then I'd rather choose one of the two branching paths: extreme sounding folk metal that I'm used to (like Ensiferum and Equilibrium), or Elvenking's fellow countrymen Rhapsody (of Fire).

That explains why I saw some pictures of him showing up on forums etc.

Moreso entire bands than albums. I love prog, I love metal, and I love prog-metal, but I am just not down with Savatage, Queensryche, or Dream Theater, arguably the original big 3 of prog-metal.
 
Roots is a travesty and signified the death of Sepultura in my eyes.
 
I love Somewhere in Time. Seventh Son...is where they kind of got a little out there for me. It's Maiden, so it rules, but compared to the stuff before it's kind of weak.
I also love Pantera. Vulgar Display is one of the most important metal albums ever, IMO.
 
I agree about Moving Pictures. It is great but compared to the masterpieces released before it it pales.
 
I'll say that all of Nile's releases after Amongst the Catacombs... were fairly disappointing to me. Good stuff, but a bit of a letdown considering what they unleashed upon us so early on.

Oh that reminds me. I HATED Seventh Of A Seventh Son... Listened to it once and deleted it immediatly from my computer. I've heard everything from the early and the old stuff of Iron Maiden, but this was probably the worst... Some even think it's their best...

Dream Theater-Scenes From A Memory. I think Awake is the best they have done
Anything by Kiss. I hear nothing more than an average hard rock band in them...
Om-Negura Bunget. I don't hear anything special in this album at all.
Back In Black-AC/DC. I've always failed to see how this one is considered to be so much better than their other albums, I think Razor's Edge is probably their best.
Images And Words-Dream Theater. Same as Scenes From A Memory, and I hate Pull Me Under, terrible songDead.

Sadly, I agree.  It seems like an album that I would love when just describing the concept and instrumentation, but then when I actually hear it, it does very little for me.  Well, still 3.5 quality, but thought it could be better...

One I forgot about was Painkiller by Judas Priest.  I like the title track, Metal Meltdown, and Touch Of Evil, but most of the other songs don't really do much for me.  But dammit I love 70s Priest!

I agree with Sheavy, Awake is Dream Theater's best album, IMO.
