The metal double albums poll

I've been trying to think up a different idea for a poll and this is what I decided on. Actually I've found very few double albums to list in this; I guess they must not be as common as I thought. Of course I'm going to allow an Other option because I'm sure someone knows one I failed to find out about. Remember though that this is for metal only.

It should be noted that I'm defining double album here based on CD standard, not vinyl. No live albums or compilations either and only one release per artist to avoid filling up this poll with Ayreon and Esoteric.

And yes I do know that Symphony X's Iconoclast was released as a single CD as well, but the band always said the double was the real album, so I included it. The single CD version is an abridged cut.

Into the Electric Castle has long been my favourite album of all time so it's its pretty obvious where my vote goes. 

I voted for Dream Theater, though Ayreon and Symphony X aren't far off, and the Iron Maiden album is awesome as well. lol at Lulu being included! 

Went for Dream Theater. Though if you'd have included Molly Hatchet Double Trouble Live ...

^ me neither. Raises real passion with folk, including on this site. I really like it.

Double albums rarely thrill me but there are some great ones here. I'm shocked at myself by i think the Iron Maiden album has proved more listens than the others. Esoteric is a once in a while type of album and The Ocean is a close second

You're not complaining, you're being nit-picky.

Yes, it's a Lou Reed album.

It's also a Metallica album.

That's why its considered a collaboration album.

This is a metal site, so I listed Metallica first. Big deal.

Well I still say you're nit-picking.

If this thread was about the one album specfically then fair play to call me out over it but it's one option on a poll with 15 other albums. It's not unclear what album is being referred to by calling it Metallica and Lou Reed rather than Lou Reed and Metallica. It's still the same release. Again, not a big deal...or at least it wasn't until you made it into one.

On my CD shelf I file it next to Metallica, cos I'd never find it if I stuck it in L for Lou or R for Reed, so as far I'm concerned, you got it the right way round.

Yes, I bought it, the day it was released. In case you didn't read the whole thread, I said I LIKE IT!
