Favorite Underrated Album

Thanks. It's an oft. overlooked gem in the Maiden haystack

Fear Of The Dark is a great album.

Black Sabbath - Born Again
Black Sabbath - Headless Cross
Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes
Gehennah - King of the Sidewalk
Gehennah - Decibel Rebel

Fear of the Dark is very underrated. Classic maiden album i think.

Other Underrated albums i think are:

Judas Priest - Point of Entry (always liked this one)
Pantera - Power Metal (for those who have heard it)
Slayer - Divine Intervention
Queen - Jazz (very different, but still very good)
Testament - The Ritual

Yeahh, POWER METAL by PANTERA is great, their last good album. I also love THE RITUAL and know that many fans dont. Same with POINT OF ENTRY, great lp. FEAR OF THE DARK is also a great MAIDEN disc and i agree that its underrated. HAIL TO YOU INVADERS!!!!!!!!!!(Ahhh, dont care about that SLAYER o QUEEN album )

I agree with all the Judas Priest and Black Sabbath albums mentioned by others. I always liked the albums with Toni Martin on vocals, but also Seventh star with Glen Hughes.

One other that comes in my mind is Russian Roulette from Accept. I think there are very good titles on it which could have been on Metal Heart as well.

Slaves and Masters from Deep Purple is also underrated in my opinion. I personally prefer Ian Gillan, but Joe Lynn Turner did a good job on this album.

The two albums of Falconer without Mathias Blad are also underrated. Kristoffer Göbel does a bit different vocals than Mathias Blad, but they also very good.

The last one that comes into my mind is Another Perfect Day from Motörhead. I bought this album immediately when it came out and loved it from the first listen. So I couldn’t understand that many fans disliked it.

Very good call!! I completely forgot about those. I love all Falconer....everyone involved is supremely talented....but I have no problem with Grime vs Grandeur....it has some of my all-time favorite Falconer songs. Was it different? Yes! But that's not necessarily a bad thing....and anyhow they put out Northwind and if Northwind doesn't make you happy as a fan I don't know what can/will........Good call!!

Scottmitchell74, maybe I got you wrong… but Northwind is with Mathias Blad on vocals. The Sceptre Of Deception and Grime Vs. Grandeur are with Kristoffer Göbel. The I own Sceptre Of Deception and like it very much. I’ve heard only some titles from Grime Vs. Grandeur, but they are as good as Sceptre Of Deception.

KiSS - Unmasked, The Elder
Twisted Sister - love is for suckers
Vixen - rev it up
Yngwie Malmsteen - 7th sign
Dream Theater - Fii
Paul Stanley - live to win
Geezer Bulter - black science
Dio - strange higways
... etc.

KiSS - Unmasked, The Elder
Twisted Sister - love is for suckers
Paul Stanley - live to win

You did get me wrong........my point is - he's back so now everyone else can be happy again!

Raven - Life's A B!tch

It unfortunately is lumped in with the "different" Raven albums Stay Hard and The Pack Is Back. But Life's my favorite Raven album I have heard.

Raven kick bunghole!!! Played with them in Minnasota...

Just metal stuff right?

Judas Priest - Ram It Down (totally agree here)
Virgin Steele - Noble Savage
Chastain - Voice of the Cult
Force III - Warrior of Light
Leviticus - Setting Fire to the Earth
Rosanna's Raiders - Calling Down Fire

Grim Reaper - See You In Hell
Grim Reaper - Rock You to Hell
Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow
Black Sabbath - Headless Cross
Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes
Avenger - Prayers of Steel

theres a lot!

Another one that comes to mind for me:

Manowar - Warriors of the World

sure there are a lot of ballads, but this is a good album IMO!

a couple of classic fan base alienators

Celtic Frost- Cold Lake
Voivod- Outer Limits

also

Malmsteen- Fire & Ice
Black Sabbath- Forbidden
Journey- Next (hey, there's metal on it!)

Grin by Coroner. Nobody ever talks about this one but i like it alot. It has one of my fav song's on it "Serpent Moves" and the rest of it is very enjoyable too! The solo on S.M. is as they say jawdropping.

I like Grin a lot.

Coroner is a band I've never gotten into. Not because I don't like them - I've just not heard much of their stuff.

I think I might really like these guys. Perhaps I'll buy "Grin" to start with.

Celtic Frost- Cold Lake

Absolutely! That album is constantly slammed. I always thought it was pretty cool though.
