Sam, you are right. There is no such thing as bad Slayer. I suppose it's the difference between Good Slayer and Great Slayer that we are arguing about.
Tomorrow, I will try to pick something a little less contraversial (although I was sure I was on to a good thing with Reign In Blood)

I just checked back through your posts and noted that you cite Operation Mindcrime as one of your favourite albums...that explains a lot I used to be a total thrash head, though. I've moved more to progressive and even power metal lately, because I find the songs to be more dynamic and less about screeching guitars. But I still know my way around The Big Four, Testament, Exodus, and Sabbat.
If you want some really good progressive thrash, though, find Anacrusis' Screams and Whispers. Great stuff.

nothing wrong with a dose of Blackie Lawless and the boys.

Seriously though, I thought this album was a little overrated. I never really thought Mustaine got it right until Rust In Peace, which, if you'd have been patient was going to be one of my albums of the 90's.
Megadeth was the first band I went to see live and whilst Metallica will always be number 1 in my book, Megadeth earned their place in the big 4...

Peace Sells is no Rust, but it's also no So Far, either, thankfully. I prefer Countdown to Rust, because Countdown has more great songs (although it doesn't have Holy Wars). Peace Sells, I like for the same reasons, Peace Sells and Wake Up Dead... although The Conjuring and Devil's Island are some rocking moments.

Agreed there, Among the Living kicks ... although I did get their last original album, We've Come For You All, and it wasn't half bad. 2003 wasn't a spectacular year for heavy music, though. I actually prefer John Bush to Belladonna, but that's because I like Armored Saint (awesome 80s band, AS).

Ok, I'll be honest, I'd never really heard of this band until Jason Newstead left them to join Metallica but when I bought this album I was blown away...
Absolutley awesome. Dreams of Death rules.
Shame about the dodgy Elton John cover version though.

Here's a wonderful album that flies under the banner of "Techno Thrash".
The concept of the album is a damning verdict on Television in our lives and each song starts with clips from the TV with adverts, preachers and infomercials among those used.
Best Track: "There Stood The Fence" - A powerful ballad that that is set in a post nuclear holocaust...

I'm closing this thread and the 90's thread and will be starting a new thread similar to Sam's Metal Shop for the love of all things metal from all decades!!!

I guess I'm going to have to really dig deep in the record collection now for the 80's metal, most of the thrash I listen to these days is 90's and 00's but hey-ho, faint heart ne'er won fair maiden...
