Currently, all of Porcupine Tree's "metal" albums (that being In Absentia, Deadwing, Fear Of A Blank Planet(that especially) and The Incident.
I'm also currently digging the new Converge record Axe To Fall, which contains their mellowest material and some of the heaviest, too. Generally an amazing metallic hardcore album.
Oh, and on another different note, the new Four Year Strong, Enemy Of The World. I love dark, angry, heavy music, but man, some melodic positive stuff really lights up your life. :3

Fear Factory - Mechanize
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
The third one's a bit different but eh.

Way too many for me to easily list, I obsessively acquire new music as it is so it's never just "an" album that I'm addicted to, and the list expands on a weekly basis at least.
So I'll just pick the first one that springs to mind where I can no longer remember how many times I've heard it (also I have to leave in a minute so I can't afford to sit here and think about it in depth, or I'll be late), which is Stream of Passion's The Flame Within.
It is very good.

Genesis, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - catchy, bizarre, and just dense enough to make you feel like you've accomplished something when you start to understand the plot. An exemplary rock opera.
Pink Floyd, Meddle - while the Floyd's later albums achieved much more success and acclaim, I still like this one best, mainly for "Echoes," the most amazing thing the band ever did.
Yes, Close To The Edge - If an album can get stereotypical classically-trained-keyboardist Rick Wakeman to cut loose and just rock the hell out, you know it's something special.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Electric Ladyland - Absolutely, without question, the man's best work. I've never heard anything quite like his fusion of psychedelic rock and classic blues.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Tarkus - It has a giant armadillo tank rolling across an Atari 2600-color plain. If the kickass title track weren't already enough reason to listen to it, the cover art damn well is.
Chicago, Chicago V - While their earlier double-discers are terrific as well, Chicago's first single-disc album enforces just enough restraint to make them really kick some ass.
Chris Squire, Fish Out Of Water - Possibly my favorite solo album by any artist.
Steve Hackett, Voyage Of The Acolyte - Also possibly my favorite solo album by any artist.
Focus, Focus III - If elevator music had some balls, this is what it would sound like.
King Crimson, Larks' Tongues In Aspic - Yes, Virginia, violins can rock the hell out. Intricate arrangements plus kickass proto-grunge equals pure awesome.
Meat Loaf, Bat Out Of Hell - Another one for the "I've never heard anything quite like this" file. Why isn't there more of this operatic rock stuff out there?
The Alan Parsons Project, Eye In The Sky - Alan Parsons and friends managed an extremely impressive feat in making something as esoteric as progressive rock radio-friendly without actually watering it down, and I think this is where they did it best.

Why thank you. I never seem to be able to find fellow Fear Factory fans xDUnabletothinkofname said:
Holy shit that was some alliteration.

great song of his.

I had the same problem. His vocals were quite weak and irritating on the previous albums, but he really stepped them up for Overworld, making it the album to destroy all albums.Sean Hebner said:
All my friends tend to laugh at me for this but I cant stop listening to "Ocean Eyes" by "Owl City"... its just such a feel good album, always makes me smile, seriously just go listen to "The Bird and the Worm", "Dental Care" and "Tip of the Iceberg" and try not to smile and feel uplifted, its nigh on impossible!
