I'm not sure if you were looking only for bands or music with lyrics, but this is probably my favorite video game soundtrack of all time.

“Deadache” by Lordi ! I wouldn’t say it has their best songs, but it doesn’t have any definite “B-sides”, unlike most of their previous work.
( eg : is Hellbender Turbulence anyone’s favorite ? Dynamite Tonite ? I doubt that. Get Heavy is a much rockier listening experience. Some may even say it’s heavily front loaded.
Deadache has a bit of a slump in the middle but it’s picked right back up by the final third, especially the titular song and Raise Hell in Heaven )

Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second
The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version
My Head Is An Animal remains my favorite Of Monsters And Men album
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
Hybrid Theory is the strongest Linkin Park album, with Meteora in close second
I'm surprised that I enjoyed these. Only know them from transformers and never listened again. Thanks for sharing!
The Hands That Thieve is great whether you listen to Streetlight Manifesto ska version or the Toh Kay acoustic version
Love the ska version! totally not my test but it's fun
Christian rock as a genre is generally bad, but rock that is Christian can be pretty good: ? by Neal Morse remains one of my favorite albums
I saw a youtube comment: Discovering Neal when I was into Christianity, and after I left that belief his music is one of the few things that still remain from those years, and this album, by far, is one of my favorites. Long live the art of music
That is surprisingly good!
Anything from Nighy Club.... own them alll listen to all on repeat many times.
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Haken - The Mountain
King Crimson - Discipline
Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
Some solid prog recs here!! Porcupine Tree is excellent.
Do you like Dream Theater? Any thoughts on their latest release with Mike Portnoy back behind the drumkit?
I used to listen to DT a lot, but I kinda stopped following them after Octavarium. Their latest release is honestly not really interesting to me. They’ve been kinda creatively stagnant for a while, even with Portnoy’e return. The songs just have the same repetitive formula and arrangements. Meanwhile newer bands like Haken (who are the most similar to DT in my opinion) have been making amazing music.
Oh 100% agree. Haken are some of the best in the game right now.
