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!

One of my favorite albums to come out in the last few years is Etemen Ænka by Dvne. The whole thing is great, but I'll give special mention to the riff at the end of the song Court of the Matriarch, which is so heavy it'll make you feel like you could stomp the earth in half.
