Heaviest Albums

All jokes aside, I'd have to call Mellon Collie the Pumpkins heaviest album... there are a couple of tracks where Corgan growls and the guitars really whir out of control.... the heaviest stuff I've ever heard by them, but not a heavy album per se... just features quite a few heavy moments....
 
Good to see that original posting on this board, asking for the heaviest albums by your favorites... in that case...

Monster - REM.... the most distortion I have ever on an REM album... Let Me In is a pure wash of distorted guitar with very little else to hinder it

Peter Gabriel 3... not necessarily a very guitar heavy album, but it has such a hard sound, with no cyrabals and a very solid sounding production virtue...

World Coming Down - Type O Negative... by far their darkest, most dense and bleak album, and its great for those reasons...

I am sure I can think of more than these three and I will add them as I think of them!
 
Out of interest, what would you consider to be a classic double album with a good degree of consistency throughout?
 
Not brutal by the standarRAB of this thread. But those are all excellent albums nonetheless, particularly Messengers. I don't get into too much ridiculously heavy stuff, so these fit me nicely. :D

IDK if this sounRAB stereotypical but I really like all of As I Lay Dying's stuff.
 
I'd say "farewell to kings" by Rush.

"and the men who hold high places must be the ones who start to mold a new reality, closer to the heart"

.....now that's heavy!

I talk about this one a lot on here. In my opinion, this is some of their best work. I got a link if anyone wants it.

I'm pretty sure Pete sent me this one. Brilliant album. Connected with it a few weeks back when I was terribly ill with the flu and actually had time to check out new tunes. Though it's reminiscent of some horridly ill moments, it's almost appropriate memories for such a dark, heavy album.
 
Mm good choice as far as Type O is concerned, while I still hold that Bloody Kisses or Least Worst Of are my favourites, but as far as heaviest, World Coming Down wins hanRAB down.
 
Ire Works - Dillinger Escape Plan is the heaviest album I own I think. I used to be a big metal 'fan' but lost all my music about a year ago and now am much more happier with the new musical knowledge I have gained. Ire Works is fantastic so I got it back.
