Nothingface Albums Ranked: Worst to Best

The Metal Maniacs Podcast

Show Notes

Every Nothingface album, ranked worst to best — including the self-titled record that dropped right as their label collapsed and never got the shot it deserved.Nothingface built one of the most underrated discographies in early-2000s metal, and today we're ranking every one of their albums from worst to best. From their early underground releases to An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity to the self-titled 2003 record that came out just as Geffen was falling apart, we break down what worked, what didn't, and which album deserves way more respect than it gets.If you watched our Nothingface biography episode, this is the natural follow-up — now that you know the label drama and industry politics that derailed their momentum, it's time to judge the actual music on its own terms. And if you're new to the band, this ranking works as a starting point too: we'll tell you exactly which album to start with and which one to save for later.This is the same honest, no-hype approach we bring to every album ranking on this channel — no inflated scores, no nostalgia bias, just an honest breakdown of a metal discography that deserves a second look.If you're a Nothingface fan, someone discovering them for the first time through our biography episode, or you're just into honest album-ranked content in the underground/mainstream metal space, this one's for you. Let us know in the comments which album you'd rank #1 — we guarantee it won't match everyone's pick.This is The Metal Maniacs — band biographies, album rankings, interviews, and honest reaction content covering underground and mainstream metal alike.
