50 Most Underrated Albums of the '2000s: #43

43.Municipal Waste-The Art of Partying (2007)
Virgina metal act Municipal Waste had already become a fixture in the underground scene when they released The Art of Partying in 2007. Their 2005 release, Hazardous Mutation, was met with acclaim from critics and audiences alike thanks to their punk-influenced take on the traditional thrash sound. Hazardous Mutation deserved all the praise that was bestowed upon it, but I felt like The Art of Partying was where Municipal Waste really hit their peak. The Art of Partying took all the chaotic energy from Hazardous Mutation and applied it to a concept record about you guessed it... partying. The result is a ridiculously catchy and intense record that's just an absolute blast to listen to. Its been seven years since The Art of Partying was released and it still manages to bring a big smile to my face every time I put it on.
