What is a band you like and which of their albums do you like the most? And, if you're feeling analytical, why do you like that album the most? (kbin.social)

I'm looking to buy more CDs and expand my depth and breadth of metal music appreciation. Instead of "greatest hits" I'd like a studio (or live) album that is a shining example of a great band.

I'll start:
Ratt: Out of the Cellar
Listen

This was Ratt's breakthrough hit and debut album that put them on the map. Several hits on this disc like "Round and Round". Also a couple great songs that were not hits like "Lack of Communication" and "I'm Insane".

Edit To Add: Some great responses below, thanks! Please feel free to ponder further and add to your response or respond again with other bands!

Probably the metal fans gonna kill me, but the only band I really enjoy listen with a little metal spice - I know they arent a full metal band - are Deafheaven.

My favourite album is Sunbather .

You like what you like :)

Deafheaven definitely fall into a metal sub-genre, somewhere between Black Metal and Post Metal. Sunbather is also one of my favourite albums.

There's a little known British band you might enjoy called The Hope Burden who's stuff is similar to Deafheaven - this is their Decline. Despair. Decay EP

Ty mate, I will save the suggestion to listen in the future

If you like their style, there's lots of other blackgaze out there. Mol, An Autumn for Crippled Children, Lantlos, and Violet Cold are some of my favorites.
