    Megadeth – Rust in Peace

    Pretty fine.

    Mate of mine was stood too close to the bass speakers at a Megadeth gig and collapsed while the rest of us were happily moshing. Ah, good times.

    Entombed – Wolverine Blues
    Slayer – Reign in Blood

    Not quite metal but heavier than most of the “metal” albums so far – Converge – Jane Doe

    And this might be illegal but my favourite Metallica album is And Justice For All

    Not illegal, but contentious. St Anger or Reload would be seriously frowned upon though.

    Death Magnetic is surprisingly good compared to the preceding albums. In fact, that’s my afternoon tunes sorted!

    Death Magnetic is surprisingly good compared to the preceding albums. In fact, that’s my afternoon tunes sorted!

    Hmm. Death Magnetic is probably slightly less atrocious than the three preceding albums. The production is appalling. Metallica completely lost it after the black album. I went to see them at the MEN on the Poor Touring Me tour in about 1996 and they’ve got progressively worse ever since.

    Anthrax were one of my all time favourites but I think that they were at their best with John Bush doing the vocals. Taking Joey Belladona back on was a massive retrograde step.

    Slayer – South of Heaven has to be their all time best. Diabolus in Musica was probably the most pretentious but I have to admit to liking God Hates us All and The Christ Illusion.

    Slipknot – Iowa was probably their best effort. All Hope is Gone is so-so but not the greatest.

    The names of some/most of these bands cracks me up!

    Not a genre that I get on with particularly, but I love to be surprised by something that challenges my dearly held prejudices 😀

    Lateralis is a superb album, love the ambition and the melodic, heavy, groove. Yes, that’s right, groove.

    Slipknot – Iowa was probably their best effort.

    Haha I remember this! That’s the album with “People = ****” as the second track. Genius. Weirdly, my enduring memory of Leeds in 2001 was watching Slipknot on a stage and this kid walks past wearing massive boots and huge baggy jeans… complaining to his accompanying mother about the mud getting on them. Good times 😆

    I think one of my parents bought me “Seventh Son” on cassette when I was 7 years old. Memories are hazy, is that worth a (re-)listen??

    Master of Puppets.

    So far Master of Puppets is the fave, followed by Ride the lightning and Reign in Blood, hard to argue with that.

    slayer – riegn in blood
    metallica – puppets.
    Anthrax – spreading the disease

    all the above were the best albums those bands did and anything after these where poor in comparision. All Slayer did was slow done riegn in blood and release it as south of heaven.

    And
    Tankard – anything

    Obituary – End Complete
    Slayer – God Hates us all ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY!

    You favour that Obituary over Cause of death and Slowly we Rot? Wow.

    … and God Hates us All is your favourite Slayer album?
    I dont have to justify myself to anyone.
    However, the drumming in Cuase of Death is pretty monotonous, and it kinda grates. Still an awesome album, the James Murphy lead guitars are just fantastic!
    Any Slayer is pretty good, but its my favourite post Seasons album.

    I really liked St Anger. I also have a soft spot for Fear of the Dark as it was my first metal album.
    Less controversial, Master of Puppets.

    Wot no Lawnmower Deth? I ‘met’ them at a record shop signing as a young impressioable teenager, slightly deflated to hear Qualcast Mutilator addressing Mr Flymo as “Kev”.

    I love Rust In Peace, especially the bit that sounds like the beginning of the Fools and Horses Music.
    Also Master Of Puppets and, err, And Justice For All.

    + Machine Head- The Blackening. Awesome, and they managed to stretch about half a dozen tours out of it! A highlight was seeing them in the round on the Death Magnetic Tour.

    Incidentally, someone hit the nail on the head with Death Magnetic – it’s actually a great album ruined by horrendous production.

    Great thread though

    Wowzers that Giant album is the biz. A better AOR album doesn’t exist. Saw them touring it at the Marquee many moons ago.

    “Arise” by Sepultura is still sooooooooooo good 💡
