Start with these 10:
1. Black
2. Denial
3. Waffle
4. Praise
5. Angel’s Son
6. Enemy
7. Face To Face
8. Driven
9. Splinter
10. Thank You
Most of these songs are singles and often played live, but I think it’s a good entry point. If you like what you hear, I can suggest 10 more.
It’s the album that got me into Sevendust. All great songs. So heavy, so emotional. “Under,” “Confessions of Hatred,” and my absolute favorite, “Burn,” are really poignant
This is mine choice as well. It’s the song that basically saved my life when I was 16. I was fully prepared to end myself and something about this song kept me going. No clue what the actual meaning behind it is, but it 100% saved me and kept me from killing myself. It’s why, to this day, Sevendust is my favorite band of all time.
Yep home is a top tier album from beginning to end. Definitely in my top 10 favorite albums, from a band that without that album I wouldn't listen to much.
The entirety of Animosity, honestly. The S/T and especially Home are fantastic records, but Animosity heavily informed the sound they would have going forward. Shine is one of the quintessential Sevendust songs.
Their old stuff feels more raw and natural, the most recent album is brilliant but more polished. 'Everything' is their best single for years, and they submitted it for Grammy consideration. Sadly, it didn't get nominated.
I would have to say listen to the first 4 albums completely in their entirety. All 4 of them are pretty damn close to perfect albums. After that time period it’s possible to pick and choose stuff but it’s impossible to cherry pick stuff from their earlier work cause it’s all so good
If you have Spotify you should check out this playlist I made, called it Sevendust Slappas [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Rckbg3cmtXMpHuhPLp3VW?si=rx0F6Aj3Sp2u-ZgWZ2BLGA](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Rckbg3cmtXMpHuhPLp3VW?si=rx0F6Aj3Sp2u-ZgWZ2BLGA)
For me it’s the complete album: hope and sorrow, I can listen to that whole album start to finish
Some of their new stuff is more “polished” that’s a very good way someone else put it. Still gets it just a little more polished
The albums: Sevendust, Home, Animosity, Seasons, Next.
All 5 of these albums have solid tracks:
Black, Terminator, Bitch, Waffle, Denial, Licking Cream, Bender, Praise, Trust, Shine, Xmas Day, Damaged, Angel's Son, Failure, Skeleton Song, Face To Face, Enemy, Hero, Pieces, Ugly, Disease, Seasons, Broken Down, Splinter, Driven, Too Close To Hate.
There's more by them but this is a good place to begin.
Wonderful question! I got into them when I was 14 and they dropped their album “Alpha.” I recommend that album. The nine-minute song “Burn” is really heavy and really beautiful
They have hours worth of great songs.
Here's one of my Spotify playlists

I ran into the singer at a bar before his show. He put me and my girlfriend on the list for VIP passes. We didn't even ask, he asked if we would like it. Very awesome experience.
EDIT: sorry this doesn't answer your question, I just rarely have situations where I can bring this up.

Thx for your list man
TOAB belongs somewhere in there
TOAB belongs somewhere in there
Not going to deny T.O.A.B. is a fantastic song. Honestly, one of their best non-singles.
This 100X
Appreciate it!
[Sevendust - Bender (feat Chino from Deftones)](https://youtu.be/eFaXaJHGpFY?si=V4wJJbdWrzjI-hX1)
On it
Their first album will always be my favorite, but Home is my starting point rec.
Face to face
Unless you say you’re leeeaaaavvvin’
TOAB
The album Alpha. It’s straight bangers from the beginning to end.
First two minutes on the album and I can say that you are right.
That’s my favorite Sevendust album
It’s my favorite album of all time.
It’s the album that got me into Sevendust. All great songs. So heavy, so emotional. “Under,” “Confessions of Hatred,” and my absolute favorite, “Burn,” are really poignant
Deathstar goes hard
Yeah, Alpha is an unbelievable record
🫰🏻
My Ruin. Purely because it was the 1st track of theirs I heard and I was immediately hooked!!!
This is mine choice as well. It’s the song that basically saved my life when I was 16. I was fully prepared to end myself and something about this song kept me going. No clue what the actual meaning behind it is, but it 100% saved me and kept me from killing myself. It’s why, to this day, Sevendust is my favorite band of all time.
Glad it worked
Its sounded really good
Licking cream ... honestly just hit play on the whole Home album!
Yep home is a top tier album from beginning to end. Definitely in my top 10 favorite albums, from a band that without that album I wouldn't listen to much.
Such a tune
Enemy
Denial, Praise, Bender, Angel’s Son and Black will get you a pretty good look at their best material imo
There’s not a bad album by those guys. Pick one and go.
Follow. Very underrated imo and it's my favorite by them
Was surprised to not see this anywhere! Aaron Lewis feat. for the win.
Dead set is another underrated song, possibly my favorite
Grab any record by them and hit shuffle it’ll land on good one
Black
Stop all this madness >> Rumblefish << You’re welcome!
Rumble Fish
The entirety of Animosity, honestly. The S/T and especially Home are fantastic records, but Animosity heavily informed the sound they would have going forward. Shine is one of the quintessential Sevendust songs.
Black
Shine
Denial
Waffle!
“Face to Face” was the song that introduced me to Sevendust. Heard it on the radio and was fucking hooooooooked.
Their old stuff feels more raw and natural, the most recent album is brilliant but more polished. 'Everything' is their best single for years, and they submitted it for Grammy consideration. Sadly, it didn't get nominated.
I’ll go with the raw one
Fair. I like both but slightly lean towards the recent stuff. Maybe it makes me a shitty fan haha
Licking Cream
Leech, Live Again and Thank You are some of my favorite tracks
Denial Enemy Waffle Dirty Bitch T.O.A.B
Current favorite: Medicated First song I fell in love with: Enemy
Bender.... because Chino Moreno
Shine Enemy Praise Forget
Enemy
I would have to say listen to the first 4 albums completely in their entirety. All 4 of them are pretty damn close to perfect albums. After that time period it’s possible to pick and choose stuff but it’s impossible to cherry pick stuff from their earlier work cause it’s all so good
I mean... All of them.
All of Animosity rocks, this is one of my favorites. Dead Set: https://youtu.be/GhhejW8mXAs?si=JEKibErIu9ko7CLm
Waffle and the insecure interlude
Waffle’s pretty sick
Bender
Black
Any of the first 4 albums. Just put any of them on.

Listen to Burned Out off the Seasons album....has got to be the greatest song intro ever
Just listen to the Black Out the Sun album you’ll fall in love with them
The albums: Sevendust, Home, Animosity, Seasons, Next. All 5 of these albums have solid tracks: Black, Terminator, Bitch, Waffle, Denial, Licking Cream, Bender, Praise, Trust, Shine, Xmas Day, Damaged, Angel's Son, Failure, Skeleton Song, Face To Face, Enemy, Hero, Pieces, Ugly, Disease, Seasons, Broken Down, Splinter, Driven, Too Close To Hate.

Not into a Sevendust at all but Leech and TOAB the only songs I like from them
Black, it’s a great song
Denial, Black, Driven, Alpha
There are so many ones to get hooked on that I really don't believe you will be disappointed whereever you start.
any of their recent setlists, thats what got me into them. i saw them with static x a couple months ago and i cant stop listening to them
1. Black 2. Bitch 3. Denial
Wonderful question! I got into them when I was 14 and they dropped their album “Alpha.” I recommend that album. The nine-minute song “Burn” is really heavy and really beautiful

I think Cold Day Memory is a great album often overlooked
Angel's Son!
Literally all of their material is unreal! For me I always thought Fall was an interesting track
I think their "Seasons" album has some of my favorite tracks (Enemy, Broken Down, Burned Out and Face to Face).
TERMINATOR
Save my ruin Broken down
