Albums where the drums are very dominant and almost overpowers the other instruments.

I got that feeling on Closer by Joy Division.

Any others?

I’ll extend on your Closer and say that pretty much every album that Martin Hannett ever produced. Hannett was obsessed with drums.

Also War by U2 is fairly heavy on the drums.

   Check out some Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Rush, and The Who.

   All amazing bands with some of the best Drummers to have lived.

   Albums:
   Foo Fighters: Anything past the first album probabley.

   Nirvana: Nevermind and In Utero

   Rush: Any album especially 2112 and Moving Pictures

   The Who: Most of the albums, mostly mid to later work.

   Check out a band called Secret Machines.

   Very drum heavy, very Bonham-esque sound.

   I thought the drums were fairly prominent on Radiohead’s In Rainbows (especially "15 Step," "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," and "Reckoner") and White Lies’ debut album.

   And justice for all by Metallica, too much drive on the guitars, no bass, and all dry shi*ty flat drums
