HELLYEAH

I think the list really fails to explore metal and the inclusion of awful things like this does not help.

Snarky Puppy
4/5
I submitted this. Snarky Puppy is one of my favorite bands and have seen them live twice. I probably like their album Immigrance more and someone told me they would have submitted Sylva. I thought maybe this one is easier to get into and it seems like how most fans get into the band. I thought the original list was lacking modern jazz so it made sense to submit it. I could never get into a lot of older jazz albums and find Snarky Puppy to be a lot more fun. They have such catchy melodies, incorporating many instruments, and taking inspiration from around the world. The album dips in the middle with Jambone, Kite, and Outlier, especially Kite. That is why I give it a 4.

This was fun. Although, not speaking French probably hindered further enjoyment. The songs blended together and the music fell in the background while listening. The album felt very long.
But thank you for submitting this! I'm not sure I've heard French punk before. This is what the list should be about!

Some parts were fun and some were kind of stupid. But some of the lesser parts were also endearing in a way. I also loved the genre fusions. I think there should be more weird stuff on the list. I'd rather listen to something like this than the same ol' that fills over half of the original list.

This band gets a lot of respect from me for the amount of albums they put out in a short amount of time. And it seems people respect the quality. I've tried listening to a few albums, and this one I've tried a few times. However, the songs still seem bland and very similar to each other.

It's always interesting when a band pops up but not the album that I would think or my favorite of theirs. My favorite has always been Mutilated Defeated. I think it has a very unique sound and not a lot of filler, so worthy of the list but maybe not to the same caliber as other albums. But I thought a lot of fans much prefer Carrion Crawler/ The Dream. I've also seen this band live twice. The first time they had two drummers playing mostly the same part in sync. One of my coolest concert experiences, I think.
Anyway, I thought this live album was ok but probably biased. I find the original songs and the albums they come from have different sounds to them, but they sound more similar here, understandably. Maybe that is an appeal.

I enjoyed this. But I don't think this is unique or special enough to really be on this list (which I don't factor in my score.) I think my favorite track is Triumph, which is interesting because it's not one of the higher played tracks.

This one was a surprise. I listened to this one a lot a long time ago. I could never get into anything else by them even though it always seemed like their newer stuff was more popular. I've always loved the vibe of the whole album. The songs go so well together. I'm not sure the album is that groundbreaking but I think the sound is a little unique. No real dud on the album.
LaBelle

Like a lot of people are saying, this really could've been included in the original list. But I'm glad the user submitted list exists for this reason. Of course, I've heard Lady Marmalade but had no idea who the artist was. It's also crazy how little plays the rest of the album has on Spotify.

I also don't think this list needed any more Bjork. It baffles me why some people think this lists needs more and more of the same artists. There are plenty of underappreciated artists and albums out there that are doing some innovative things.

This one had to grow on me a little bit. Even though this style is right up my alley, I thought it was pretty boring at first. I actually started liking the last two songs, which interestingly have less plays. I went back and listened to a couple previous songs. However, there's a lot of other bands from this time period. Not sure this one is really that essential.

This is the epitome of a concert movie. I could even replace this with one of the studio albums on the regular list. And since there's live albums on the list, this deserves a spot.
