Who else? I've gotten some recs for Pantera, Tool, and Alice in Chains...what albums of theirs are best? I prefer stuff that's at least somewhat melodic (though, obviously, loud and frenetic). Particularly enjoying the speed metal aspects of '80s Megadeth. Any advice?
Also, what the hell has happened to me?
Tool is a favorite band of mine, but I wouldn't call them "metal". If you ever get the chance to see them live, don't miss it.
(All of their albums are great, but their self titled one and Aenima are near flawless.)
