51. Orange Goblin - "Science, Not Fiction"
These London-based stalwarts bring us firmly back to earth. Orange Goblin play meat and potato metal. There is nothing odd about what they do and there is nothing strange about what they do. It essentially picks up the ball from the late lamented Motorhead and runs with it. There is utter brilliance in the simplicity of this record. It is nine immaculately crafted pieces of gold standard metal. Every track is a magnificent collision of thumping drums, chugging guitar and hearty vocals. It just is wonderful to listen to and rendorses your faith in big choruses and life-affirming songs. No gimmicks, no fruitless wonders into other genres, this is just metal at its very very best.
