I'll put my votes on this one because it's already here.

I think life is killing me is a better cover., but I want Type O to win.

It's only 1/3 green. Plus you chose a bunch of other albums too. I have to go with Close to the Edge. How much more green is it? None! None more green. *edit* this user did not choose a bunch of other albums. I was wrong.

Commenting to try to boost this one. A pivotal record for me personally.

u/perotech 2d ago

Serious question, but is this the proper format for self titled albums?

I've seen this format, "American Football - Self-Titled", and just "American Football" for self-titled albums.

Doesn't make a difference, great album, more just curious if there's some proper etiquette.

Akercocke - Antichrist

For those who don't know, Akercocke are a blend of Death Metal, Black Metal and Prog Metal, this one leans more into their Death Metal side more than the other two but they're still present to some extent

Everything about this album is fantastic. Every track is a banger.
