    Forgot to include Anthrax's Persistence of Time, even though i listened to it twice recently!!! Decent album, but not their best. Also forgot to include Obnoxious by Acid Reign, not a great album.

      @aneinthedark5008 State of Euphoria personally. Persistence of Time is decent but not as good as State

      You forgot to include Suicidal Tendencies-Lights, Camera, Revolution. I think it's a thrash classic. ST was all over the place style wise but I consider How Will I Laugh and Lights, Camera as their two 100% thrash albums

    So many great album from 1990 James. I actually forgot that "Swallowed In Black" was released that year, brutal thrash metal album.
    Nice seeing "For Whose Advantage?" so high on your list, that's my favorite Xentrix record. It blew my mind first time listening, sometimes I wish I could hear some records for the first time again. Such an complex thrash metal album.
    The album in the first place is simply just perfect. 10/10 😎

    This was an interesting year in thrash. A few obvious classics, such as Seasons and Rust in Peace. Arguably the last pure thrash year before the Black Album and grunge changed everything. I loved some of these albums when they were released, such as Act III and When The Storm Comes Down, but these two have not aged well with me. Impact is Imminent is good but lacks the ferocity of prior albums. Nice ranking! Cheers!

    Solid ranking! Was wondering what your thoughts on “Cracked Brain” by Destruction, “Better Off Dead” by Sodom, and “Oppressing the Masses” by Vio-Lence are. All 3 would trend towards the bottom of the list for me, but they all have merit. Destruction suffers from not having Schmier’s demented nasally delivery. Sodom just seemed kind of all over the place on Better Off Dead. Oppressing the Masses isn’t bad, but the riffs aren’t as intense as on the debut, which makes Sean’s unique vocal delivery fall a bit flat (I love the increased use of gang vocals though).

    I seem to like the American Way more then most people. Lol. I played the crap out of it. It's concise, I love the solos, always loved Phil's vocals, love the guitar tones. I love how much effort Phil used to put into writing a chorus. My biggest gripe about Awakening was every chorus was just repeating the song title... I hate that shit. I'd put The American Way in my top 5 of 1990 along with Seasons in the Abyss(when Slayer peaked), Act 3(when DA peaked), Coma of Souls, and Lights Camera Revolution(Peak ST). It was all down hill after here

    • @mrboulder9714

    Another great video, man! Not overly familiar with as many albums as I am from '86, but still a great year and plenty of awesome stuff here, of course.
    Impact is Imminent and Souls of Black aren't albums I've listened to a great deal, tbh, and I don't really know Annihilator that well at all, so I think my top 3 would be Coma of Souls, Seasons in the Abyss and, of course, the almighty Rust in Peace in the top spot!
    Cheers! 🤘

      Overkill is one of those bands that started out as a punk band but never lost their punk spirit. Out of all the Thrash bands they're the easiest to forgive for never doing anything different. I'm bored of Exodus and Testament's more of the same each album.

    Great ranking from 1990 James! Some really awesome albums here, and a few I need to check out too! I would have put Souls of Black a little higher, I love it! Act III isn't that great honestly, it's a good album but not their best. The newer stuff definitely as good if not better than the early stuff. Really dig Impact is Imminent, one of their best I think. The production is raw and the guitar tone is savage! For Who's Advantage is a great album too. Can't argue with your top 2, I think Coma of Souls would have been in my top 3 though. But Seasons and Rust in Peace are 10/10 albums for me! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  3 місяці тому +1

'Coma of Souls' rocks and 'Never, Neverland' is a masterpiece IMO as os 'Rust In Peace'.

    Five albums that no way should of been outside of the top 10. The American way, souls of black, swallowed in black, Impact is imminent, and act III. Ok The American way was a lot different from there first album and wasn't that thrashy as it should of been, but still it did put Sacred Reich on the map. Yes I felt the same as you when it came to souls of black it did feel like that it was a rushed album. But it did make Testament a lot bigger band and even still till this today. Most Testament fans love it and talk about it a lot. Swallowed I black by Sadus just love this album. Not a bad track on the album for me. Now onto Impact is imminent. This album was a great follow up to fabulous disaster. So many great guitar solos. Not that many bad tracks on the album. As for number well Seasons in the abyss just says it all. After south of heaven most Slayer fans was shocked on how good this album was. Don't get me wrong Rust in peace is a great album and should come second.

    That Death Angel is sucky. Love the first song, but too much soft shite on it. Frolic was way better.

    Demolition Hammer rules. Seen them live. Amazing.
    Never been a Flotsam fan. Only like the "Hard On You"song.
    For Whose Advantage is the best Xentrix record. Love the artwork.
    That Forbidden is a weapon.
    Coma Of Souls wasa great album, but nail in thec coffin for their Thrash for ten years.
    Never liked Annihilator.
    Seasons In The Abyss is a killer album. I don't listen to it enough.
    Rilust In Peace is lexcelllent.

    Appreciate the video, but you don't give any analysis of the music / arrangements / compositions / lyrics / musicianship / technical or innovative styles or approaches to songs, production and so on. You just simply say ' that song is good' or 'that's a bang average song, to be fair'. 😅 It might be good for your audience to get something more from a ranking video.

      @monkeyhouse1672 There are plenty of channels out there that deep dive into the subjects you raised. That's not what I do on my channel. Thank you for watching

    Another great ranking me ode, Are you in to Germany's 'Protector' at all? some say they're death metal (probably because of the vocals) but i think they're in the Thrash/Death metal camp me-sen. If you haven't heard of them, A shedding of skin from '91 is a great place to start.

      Hi Neil. I'm not familiar with Protector, but you have me intrigued to check it out. Cheers for the recommendation fella.
