    What album made the most impact on you first listen?
    Thats a tough question. Early on "Countdown To Extinction" was my gateway into metal. Its the album that got me into music in the first place. But "Rust In Peace" was the album that got me into guitar. The solo to Hangar 18 was incredible to me at the time. So for the sake of the question, I'll say the early Megadeth stuff.

    But growing up, Slipknot's first two albums, Opeth's "Blackwater Park" (I had never heard anything as dark, melancholie, heavy, serene, and technical before), and Breaking Benjamin's "Phobia" blew me away when I was younger too. All That Remains's first three got me into screaming vocals, and directed me into the more extreme metal. 

    Getting my first band together (And Fire Will Reign), As Blood Runs Black's first album was really the only deathcore album I really enjoyed, so that was influential being in a deathcore band. 

    Trivium's first three were super huge in my writing for The DraCru. I started with "Ember To Inferno", but I remember losing it the first time I heard Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr. And Machine Head's "Through The Ashes of the Empires" was amazing the first time I heard it too. 

    I discovered black metal after being dumped for the first time, with DSBM like Nocturnal Depression, and that started to open my mind a little to the emotional side of music. 

    Moving into my more modern opinions on music, Agalloch's "Ashes Against The Grain", maudlin Of The Well's "Leaving Your Body Map", Mirrorthrone's "Gangrene", Cormorant's "Metazoa", and Devin Townsend's "Deconstruction" all blew me away in ways I didnt think were possible, and opened my mind and emotions in a lot of ways. I felt things I didnt know were feelings. Music became more than just something heavy to listen to, and became more personal and emotional.

    The most recent album to completely blow my mind was Arsaidh's "Roots". But it was that "this band took me by surprise, and I feel feelings" kinda blown away, not a "Ive never experienced anything like this before" kinda blown away. And getting into synth and electronic reinvigorated a few of those feels, but it was "discovering a new genre" excitement.

    Side note: metalcore band that usually practices here just walked in and started playing atmospheric black metal instead of their usual stuff.

    I can credit The Cure's "Disintegration" album for alot. That was what got me to open up to any kind of music and not just pidgeon hole myself into like Korn and  Megadeth. I starting exploring genres I'd never fucked with before and a few years ago I'd never fuck with anything like Primitive Man, YOB, Nails, etc. Disintegration really helped open me up to finding beauty in music in unexpected places. I can honestly give that all credit to why I'm as open as I am. It also really helped me see that a song doesn't need to have boundaries and just because something wasn't a 4 minute formulaic radio metal song doesn't mean anything. Stuff like "Untitled" "Homesick" and "The Same Deep Water As You" just blew me away and Disintegration is easily the most influentiel album that I've ever heard.

    All imo of course. YOB's Atma, Deftones' White Pony, Maiden's Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and Suicidal Tendencies self titled also played a big role.

    When the tape would all spool out of the cassette in a big mess and you'd need to spool it back on or throw away the cassette

    I rarely get my mind blown by new music either. The older I get, the more everything sounds like old stuff that people have just forgot. I really liked that Virus album Memento Collider, but it's almost cool because of how old it sounds. It's like Jesus Lizard with Ian Curtis on vocals. They pull off an old style that's mostly untapped. I want so badly to hear something fresh and otherworldly, but it hasn't happened since Wolf Eyes.
