Tales From The Jugular - Top 25 Worst Metal Album Names
Rod T. comin' at ya live! I'm making a very special guest appearance over here on the
Tales side to bring you another heapin' helpin' of listmania! This time it's the Top 25
worst damn album titles. We've all seen it before. You are browsing the local metal
section of your store and you spot that album. You say to yourself, why in the Hell did
they name a record that. I've been there before, many many times, prompting me to make a
list of the worst album titles I've seen in the metal industry thus far. Many of you have
read EC's "Listmania" before, ranging from "Top Christian Metal
Albums" to "Vinyl That Needs Released On Disc". I thought it would be a
great addition to Maximum Metal to add my own list of titles, those crazy metal releases
that just leave you asking WHY baby WHY?
Let me speak on this......roll it!
