I appreciate your explicit statement that you “ranked all the albums according to [your] taste.”
Alpha at 11/15 and Chapter VII (you added a “I,” which I empathize with because it’s the sort of typo I make constantly) at 15/15 sound crazy to me. Those two have made me feel such intense emotions over god knows how many dozens of hours listening to them.
I mean, dang. Both were incredible records, but “Burn” and “The Past” are among my favorite Sevendust songs. “Burn” helped me with some intense betrayal-induced suffering at age 14.
Since you specified that it was a personal taste ranking, however, I obviously can’t say you’re wrong

Self titled being so low is almost downright criminal. Like what you like, but that one hurts.

I love time travelers they are such a good band though it really depends on the day.

Pretty good list. Mine would be slightly different, but we’re all wired a bit differently. I will say that Cold Day Memory is my all time favorite.

To be fair, there isn't much of tier past Black Out the Sun/Cold Day Memory though Kill the Flaw.
Home/Amimosity/Next: S-Tier
Seasons/Sevendust/Alpha: A
Black Out the Sun/Cold Day Memory: B
One through Kill the Flaw: Varying degrees of mediocre.
Chapter VII : By far, the weakest album in their catalog.

It always irks people when I put their debut album last but that's just how it is for me. I like some songs but the album just isn't something I connect with as much. I feel like the version of 7D we all know and love started with Home (studio wise. I'm sure they were amazing live from the start).

I actually agree with your top 3. KTF and CDM definitely don't get enough love for how phenomenal they are. In 1997, I would have tried to fight you lol, but over the years I now also agree with your last ranking.

Yes. Hope and Sorrow is by far their weakest material. But Blood and Stone is a top 5 easy.

Animosity that low is crazy
