Must have metal albums?

Naglfar - Sheol
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
In Flames - The Jester Race
All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
Amon Amarth - Versus The World
 
I'll list a few albums that I think you must have:

Slipknot- Volume 3
Song in particular- Before I Forget [Style: NuMetal]
-Things to note:
-Slipknot has multiple percussionists. They have overpowering drums in their songs, and they scream, yell, and sing. Many people dislike them, but so many of their songs are too different not to like at least one.

Avenged Sevenfold- Waking the Fallen
Song in particular- Chapter Four, And All Things Will End, Unholy Confessions, Second Heartbeat [Style: MetalCore]
-Things to note:
-This album is full of screaming. They have VERY powerful lyrics [I Won't See You Tonight Parts 1 and 2 are about their original bassist who tried to commit suicide]. They are VERY talented instrumentally. If you can get past the screaming at first, you will adapt to it. Trust me. I did.

Avenged Sevenfold- City of Evil
Song in particular- Beast and the Harlot, Seize the Day, M.I.A. [Style: NuMetal]
-Things to note:
-This album contains no screaming whatsoever. The frontman, Matt, now sings, and continues to use powerful lyrics. The band still is very talented instrumentally, and focus mainly on harmony for sweet sounRAB.

System of a Down- Hypnotize
Song in particular- Holy Mountains [Style: Simply Metal]
-Things to note:
-System of a Down tunes a half step down from D. Basically, this means they rely HEAVILY on a deep, bass sound. The guitar sounRAB much like a bass in many songs, but they still are phenomenal. They use alot of anti-government lyrics, and they are funny. Some songs are soft. Some are funny. Some are fast, obnoxious, and bizarre. Others tell stories. Holy Mountains is amazing. Please listen to it.

Joe Satriani- Electric Joe Satriani: An Anthology
Song in particular- Devil Slide, Crushing Day [Style: Prog. Rock, but some people have called it metal]
-Things to note:
-Joe Satriani tought Kirk Hammett, Metallica's guitarist, how to play. He also taught Steve Vai. He is an absolutely AMAZING guitarist. He tours with John Petrucci [Liquid Tension Experiment/Dream Theatre] and Steve Vai in the G3 tour. If you aren't amazed with his guitarplay, I don't know who will interest you.

Angra- Temple of Shadows
Song in particular- Temple of Hate, WinRAB of Destination [Style: Heavy/Power Metal]
-Things to note:
-I personally thing Angra is the most talented band I listen to. I would honestly say their bassist is one of the best alive. Their guitarist is also one of the best alive. They sound like Liquid Tension Experiment with Iron Maiden's singer. Phenomenal.
