The Top Ten
1 St. Anger - Metallica

It wasn't the greatest album but defiantly not the worst Metal album which was Lulu which deserves to be hated

2 Volume 8 - The Threat is Real - Anthrax

This album is bad but its not all horrible like some people claim it to be this album is better than Stomp 442

3 Sound of White Noise - Anthrax

This is Anthrax's best album

4 Metallica (Black Album) - Metallica
5 Dystopia - Megadeth
6 Reload - Metallica

Same as Load it has good songs on it

7 Load - Metallica

I hate people who say this album is trash when there are good songs on the album

8 Reinventing the Steel - Pantera
9 The X Factor - Iron Maiden

This album is ok but it's a bit overhated just because it's the first album with Blaze Bailey

10 The World Needs a Hero - Megadeth

Yes this is a bad album but there are some good tracks Return to Hangar Promises The Dread Fugitive Mind

The Contenders
11 Cryptic Writings - Megadeth
12 Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

I don't think it's overhated, a lot of people (incorrectly) rate the whole album high just for the title track.

Eh its not the best album from Maiden but at least the Title track is a great song

13 Virtual XI - Iron Maiden
14 Diabolus In Musica - Slayer

Definitely not the best slayer album but still great in my opinion

Eh not a good album lyrically but musically its great

15 Phobos - Voivod
16 Heretic - Morbid Angel
17 Jugulator - Judas Priest

Eh not that bad of a album but not as bad as some people make it our to be

18 Power Metal - Pantera

This was a descent album but people say it sucks when there are some great tracks like Burnnn! and Over and Out

One of the best Pantera albums.

19 Hardwired... to Self-Destruct - Metallica
20 Nostradamus - Judas Priest
21 The Sound of Perseverance - Death
22 Traced in Air - Cynic
23 Symphony X - Symphony X
24 Painkiller - Judas Priest

For some reason people think this is a very bad album and they have no valid claims as to why

25 Demolition - Judas Priest
