You guys are being absurd. Three of those would make my personal list. Three are questionable but decent. Three are just fucking stupid. Seventy percent isn't bad for mainstream media, right?

Seventy percent?!

I forgot to include Mastodon as questionable but decent.

Jane Doe is the heaviest album ever and I will fight anyone who fucking disagrees. Dopethrone is the second heaviest album ever and I will fight anyone who fucking disagrees. That album with proper equipment is a fucking religious experience. Dopesmoker is pretty fucking heavy too.

Other mentions:
Pig Destroyer
Anaal Nathrakh
Early High on Fire
Early SYL
Cryptopsy, Once Was Not
Salome, s/t
Jucifer

Fight people? Jesus, it is just a list with a Beatles record and Machine Head recording...

The fighting was simply necessary to defend the honor of Jane Doe and Dopethrone. Fuck the list. And don't you know? America is awesome.

I love Mastodon but Leviathan as one of the heaviest albums ever? Not to mention Remission is way heavier than Leviathan anyways....Pretty stupid tbh, especially Machine Head :lame:

If it were really the "heaviest" albums ever then this would be filled with grindcore, black metal and death metal albums only.

Also, I'd rather say King Crimson "did metal first," but whatever floats their boat.

There is some truth to that.

Yeah, Jane Doe is the heaviest album ever...any other discussion is basically irrelevant. Not literally, but you know.

Only album that deserves to be there is Dopesmoker (haven't heard any Sleep, they might fit).

Jane Doe isn't really that heavy, and compared to what anyway? Other hardcore? Brutal dm? Screeching noisy black metal a la Akitsa?

I think heaviness is more about how you feel listening to the album. Like being hit by a fucking sledgehammer in the head. Jane Doe is very heavy in that sense. Another example would be City and Alien by SYL. They feel heavier than much more brutal death metal records that can be be compared. Panzer Division Marduk tried to be heavy, but is not.

Jane Doe = Sledge to the head
Panzer Division Marduk = Vibrator to the... ear

I feel like there's dozens or hundreds of album that hit the threshold for maximum heaviness, but what makes a Jane Doe or a City or an Alien special is that they manage to have songs that are memorable and very different from one to the next while consistently hitting this threshold.

Hmm. The Beatles weren't that poor a choice after all.
