That's probably my No.1

I have barely ever listened to Megadeth
I really used to dig this one

Angel of Death is the cut on there, though I would have to say there best is Seasons In The Abyss

The intro to Reign in Blood is killer though. I use to play that over and over.

Yeah i used to dig that intro , too

I don't have Seasons In The Abyss

you like Overkill?

Is that a band ?

At the moment i'm downloading a Megadeth album called Cryptic Writings

DC++ is the best

I was expecting something heavier

That album from 97 is commerical on the sell out Metallica - Load tip.

ok , i'll check out some of their earlier stuff then
The first song of this album sounds a bit like like Faith No More , imo
Not bad , tho'
[Edited 12/10/05 20:20pm]

this album so far is too tame for my taste

Dewrede said:

get this one, it will kick your ass.
[Edited 12/10/05 20:28pm]

ok

Don't sleep on one of my favorite groups Overkill.

Bobby "Blitz" kicked major ass.

This is the jump off right here....


true classic

ok

Dewrede bump

Rust in Peace is indeed Megadeth's best, IMO. Peace Sells comes close though.

Among the Living defined "thrash" for me back in the day, and of course Slayer's Reign in Blood - fuckin a. I haven't heard Seasons enough to compare. I like South of Heaven the best I think, but if I had to pick one from that era, it would be tough to deny Reign in Blood.
I would add Testament - The Legacy or The New Order - both are great thrash albums - a little dirtier than the other 3 bands, but man, those Chuck Billy vocals are incredible. The Gathering is awesome too - I think that's their latest, from a few years back. It has a deeper, fuller sound to it.

Not a big testament fan. Signs Of Chaos from The Ritual one of the greatest intros in rock music to me. favorite tracks have to be

Over The Wall and Alone in the Dark and their most commerical hit Practice What You Preach
[Edited 12/12/05 10:11am]

This album is in my top spot, it's hot to death.

the first album has one classic track to.
[Edited 12/12/05 10:23am]

Yeah, I thought about saying Metal Church, they are great too. Method to Your Madness and Ton of Bricks are my favorites from The Dark. On their first one, are you thinking of Gods of Wrath? That's the first song I thought of when you said one track. It's too bad they never really got up to the level of the big 4.

On Testament, yeah, those songs are great. I gotta give another listen to Practice What you Preach (the album) - I thought they were softening up when I first heard it, and that opinion kinda stuck - but I'm curious now. They got even harder later on though - almost death metal, though they came back to more traditional thrash with The Gathering.

Always wish I kept up with Overkill - I loved Taking Over and Under the Influence, but I kinda lost track of them after that.

The Dark is fucking kick ass. favs from that album are Start the Fire and The Dark. I think the self-titled track from the first album is tops, the riff just doesn't quit.



Practice what you Preach was sorta like Metallica Black Album or Megadeth's Countdown to Exticntion or Metal Churches a Blessing in Disguise, Anthrax - White Noise, Armored Saint - Salvation; radio friendly metal.

The Legacy would be my fav from them.



I think when Machine Head came on the scene alotta people got more aggressive especially on percussion, though you could also say it when Sepultura when they went that way with Chaos A.D or Roots, and then bands like Meshuggah went even further. It wasn't death metal but vocally it was different. and then there Bands like Obituary or At The Gates are somewhere in between.



ubderrated they are.

I was waiting for Exodus to show up! I was never that into them, but I knew a lot of people who were. And I think they started before a lot of other bands that got bigger than them. Gotta check them out again.

They were an early thrash metal band from Canada. They were up there with Metallica and Anthrax the early 80's. Another Shrapnel Records band. Check them out.
