In Flames hurts the most for me, Jotun was the song that got me into metal. I hung in until 'Soundtrack to Your Escape' (barely), but from then on it was a completely different band. Every release after that I prayed and hoped they would come back to some of their original sound, but it's just disappointment after disappointment.
Agreed. Whoracle is the album that got me into harsh vocals and it’s really a bummer how far they’ve fallen.
Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough I started with Reroute to Remain when that dropped and worked my way backwards and found the stuff I really latched on to. Once the sound really started shifting on A Sense of Purpose I was getting more hesitant about buying new albums from them. Siren Charms pretty much just shit in my heart though.
@@thrallsofmetal That's a fair assessment. For me the Lunar Strain through Clayman era is great. The Reroute to Remain through Come Clarity era is good. A Sense of Purpose through Siren Charms I wasn't really enjoying but was still trying to force myself to like them. Battles and I, the Mask are just so awful that I've completely given up.
I can stand some of the later in flames catalogue(up to sounds of a playground at the absolute latest) but pretty much solely because I enjoy the guitar parts on songs like drenched in fear and tilt. They sound like a weird hybrid of metalcore, melodeath and alt rock in their 2006 plus stuff. I actually noticed how much Anders friden sounds like Olly Sykes(bring me the horizon) when he sings certain parts (like in the bridge of all for me on sounds of a playground) Def not the melodic death giants they once were
The Jester Race
Morbid Angel needs to release a really strong comeback album. In the vein of the F and G albums.
@@BBQcheese The F and G albums are underrated.
@@BBQcheese G album is what Domination should have been. Total devastation of the earth at the hands of the ancient ones.
Necrotic Nick- So fucking agreed.
Kingdoms Disdained rips and got me into the band. Rips live, too, but that might be because Morbid Angel is so good.
F is one of the best Death Metal Albums, its the Nile Version of Morbid Angel
Pretty much anything from 5fdp. I can’t really say that they aren’t talented because they can play, it’s just that they don’t really do anything interesting or exciting with their songwriting or musical ideas (to me).
One of the reasons I love Slipknot is because I can see them branch out into other styles and keep it relatively interesting. I am a big fan of vol. 3 and their last album WANYK because they had the confidence to write different sounding songs like “spiders” or “my pain” and still have heavier sounding material like “orphan” and “solway firth” and “not long for this world”. Even though they might not always hit the nail on the head or execute it perfectly, they still have an interest in not trying to remain stagnant and repetitive. And for that I can at least respect their efforts
But bands like 5fdp and disturbed and six feet under just stay in their lane and all of their stuff is really interchangeable and not very distinct. I just don’t really get anything out of it personally. No hate to anyone who does.
(Also thank you guys for introducing me to Temple of Void, been jamming that recently)
I enjoyed Five Finger Death Punch.
Agreed! Aside from a handful of covers and two originals, one of which is an instrumental, I can't fucking stand FFDP.
I like 5fdp ngl
@@heavymetalcompilations4784 totally valid my dude. Nothing wrong with having a different preference :)
i will absolutely agree aside from their debut album which is not bad
I just found this channel a week ago, been watching a lot since. All you guys are really cool with a deep well of knowledge for all things metal, I envy having other metal head friends. Have you guys considered a Carcass or Exhumed discography ranking?
That's a good idea
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We really appreciate that. Both of those we'd love to rank eventually. I believe Exhumed have been working on new material too.
Diablous in Musica is pretty good 🤷♂️. Paul Bostaph kills it on that album, too. Got it the day it came out and listened to it as recently as a month ago. I’ll take “bad” Slayer over bad Megadeth, bad Metallica, bad Anthrax or just about anything any day.
The only reason I've ever heard people site for hating Diabolus is that it is down tuned. Really? Cant handle that? Great fuckin album, saw them twice on that tour, it was great. Why the hate though? It is SLAYER, it is heavy, and Bostaph is a monster. Faster doesnt necessarily mean better.
I actually Diablous - I enjoyed it when it came out and recently picked up a vinyl copy which meant I listened to it again and yeah it is no way near as bad as everyone likes to make out! I remember seeing them playing Stain of Mind live around the time and it was great live. I like Bitter Peace too.....
Necrotic Nick- I think Diabolus is better than St. Anger and Risk. It's kind of a tie with Vol. 8 or Stomp 442 though for me. Still, not great.
Nu Metal Slayer is pretty good? 🤣👍
Diabolus is a great album..yes it was different but so what? Nothing is wrong with change, I'd say everything after GHUA is when slayer started phoning it in. But at this point slayer was still killing it. All the reasons this guy is giving for not liking it just tells me he's a close minded purest that thinks anything past 1989 is automatically trash
Best way to describe Illud Divinum Insanus in short is this: It's what Formulas Fatal To The Flesh would've sounded with David Vincent in the band, only over a decade late.
Nightmares of the decomposed is worse than st anger. I would argue that Chris Barnes vocals were essentially Lars’s snare. I do enjoy the melody on invisible kid for the first couple times, I can’t anything positive about that 6 feet under album
Necrotic Nick- I kinda agree there especially with the Lars' snare and Barnes vocals comparison. lol
Yeah.... I'll agree. The newest 6FU is one of the worst metal albums I've heard in years and years. It's horrid
The Cryptopsy EP:s were a pretty good comeback for that band. I hope they release a really good full-length album soon.
Necrotic Nick- I loved both of those EP's so I'm hopeful for a legit banger of a new album.
Same here. I’m one of those guys who loves the Self Titled album and the ep’s were a great blast. I didn’t hate And Then You’ll Beg but I definitely was feeling fatigue before their self-titled album. The new singles are good so hopefully we get something badass
Great shirt! Love Broken Hope!!! I am kind of surprised there was no 6 ft Under mentioned, your review of
Nightmares of the Decomposed is epic lol
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I had to go with the turds I owned for this and there is no way in hell I'm buying that last Six Feet Under dumpster fire. I have Haunted and I think I'll just stick with that one honestly.
There is one great thing you showed in this video. That being your Broken Hope Swamped in Gore shirt. That's badass. I have that album, the bowels of repugnance, repulsive conception, loathing and omen of disease. I still need their most recent album
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I had just got it the day before so I figured why not rep something I like since I was talking about terrible albums. Loathing was where I got into them but I love the old grime drenched stuff from the early years. The last album was pretty solid too.
You could fill the list with Six feet under albums alone.
Especially Nightmares of the Decomposed! That album SUCKS!
Not the first two. Those are both dope.
Hey now you can leave Haunted out of it that albums awesome
Necrotic Nick- I left Six Feet Under off since I only own Haunted and to be honest that's a decent album.
Except Undead and Unborn
Illud Divinum Insanus is just Too Extreme for you. You're not bangin' hardcore Radikult enough for Wavey Davey. 😁
Necrotic Nick- Dude, I chugged an entire 2 liter of Mt Dew while skate boarding through a mall while listening to it... and still I failed them. Mark my words, Cowboy Vincent: Dread Lord of the Radicultian Wastelands, I will one day be too extreme for even you!!!!
Does anyone know how to find Slayer - Ghua??? I can't even find a listing for it
MetalMickey & Jürgen Aumann are doing a great work too!! They had a good idea giving this videos suggestions. Thanks Thralls of Metal!!
Necrotic Nick- No problem, man! I hope you find some killer new jams there too, bro!
Thread started by 'MetalMickey' and 'Jurgen Aumann', two excellent metalheads that I'm sure would appreciate it if all of you guys looked them up and subscribed to their channels!
Necrotic Nick- I linked MetalMickey’s channel in the video description. I can link Jurgen’s too.
Looks like the message was received. Glad to see this "righted"
Necrotic Nick- I legit didn’t know but I hope they get some subs out of it.
Btw, did Celtic Frost's Prototype come into the running at all? Or is that unfair, as it was a demo?
Necrotic Nick- I suppose a demo could be included but I don't own that one or Cold Lake so I didn't include them. Prototype is hot trash though.
I'll never forget the time I bought Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium.
I remember discovering Celtic Frost through Morbid Tales 2 weeks prior and just falling in love with that style of Celtic Frost, in the next few days I bought To Mega Therion and I genuinely thought the band could do no wrong...
And then I bought the Pandemonium record and my smile just faded away. I don't remember the last time an album offended and disappointed me in such a way.
Sure, there's worse albums out there but that one hurt me.
And the fact Jammin' Jon put Pandemonium above Emperor still boggles me.
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I pretty much got them in the same order when the Century Media reissues came out and I was pretty disappointed as well. Really says something about the album when you open with a cover song. All those moaned vocals really started irritating me after awhile too. We still give Jon a bit of shit for that ranking especially Cold Lake.
Grave "Hating Life" took me awhile to get into when it first came out cause SOULLESS was awesome and when Jorgen Sandstrom left GRAVE for ENTOMBED I wasn't too Happy with the vocals of Ola Lindgren. It took years for me to adjust to his style. The album has a few good tracks but compared to earlier material it wasn't great.
Necrotic Nick- As much as I love Grave that album is almost completely unlistenable for me. I've gone back quite a few time with that one and I still can't get into it all.
When it comes to In Flames,I personally think Sounds of a Playground Fading had two pretty good tracks. The Puzzle was a pretty nice and Thrash song in my opinion, definitely more heavy than the other tracks on the Album. I also liked the title track, mainly because of the instrumentation.
Yeah about that Ministry album even the Statue of Liberty is covering her face in shame which should have been a sign I guess
Unseen is so odd, especially after The Dead Eye. How do you follow that up with hot garbage?
I agree with you for the most part, but I might put up a weak fight that the Grave CD shouldn't be on the list, because there's few songs I like on it. They're not great, but if they come up on shuffle, I don't immediately skip over them.
When did Julian from Trailer Park Boys become a metalhead?!
People write off that Morbid album for the first track and Radicult, but Blades Of Baal and Exsisto Vulgore are some of the most furious tracks they have written
Yes, Blades For Baal is one of their best songs ever imo. Just imagine it on Covenant or Domination and it would blend right in. But yeah, just make it an EP:
Existo Vulgoré
Blades for Baal
10 More Dead
Nevermore
not in any order:
1. Illusionary Anus - Morbid Angel
2. Lulu - Metallica
3. Ummagumma - Pink Floyd (wtf is this album???)
4. The Astonishingly Awful - Dream Theater
5. Nostradamus - Judas Priest
6. Virtual XI - Iron Maiden
7. Forbidden - Black Sabbath
8. Cold Lake - Celtic Frost
9. Chinese Democracy - Guns N Roses
10. Anything from Six Feet Under lol
Ummagumma is excellent. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered in a Cave Grooving With a Pict is such a trippy ass war battle song
The studio side is kinda meh on Umma Gumma, but the live side is excellent! I have a soft spot for Virtual XI, and I din't think Nostradamus is thaaat bad (it's meh often times), but other than that... yup. I hate Lulu, and I'm even a Lou Reed Fan!
the live stuff on Ummagumma is pretty decent, but the actual studio material is boring to the point of tears in my opinion. I know it has it's fans, I've just never understood it myself
You had me at your first pick. Words can’t describe how much that album sucks. Hard to believe it’s the same band that put out Blessed Are The Sick. Arguably one of the Best early Death Metal albums. Just subscribed.
Love that one too...just saying....
THE best death metal album
I wholeheartedly disagree with your choice of Diabolus. Maybe it's because I discovered slayer before I learned to be very discerning and had just come off of my nu metal phase but i thought it was good. Definitely not their best but I dont get the comments about the lack of urgency and energy (Scrum?, Point?) It even opens up with Bitter Peace which is a ripping thrasher if I've ever heard one. I've always looked at this record as Slayer showing the world what nu metal could sound like if it were actually good. Spot on with all the others though.
Fuck yeah. Stand up for DIABOLUS. POINT was killer, the rest of it was good enough. Saw them twice in one week on that tour.
Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough, I was in my nu metal phase when I got Diabolus but that wasn't what I wanted from Slayer. I wanted that hyper aggressive fast sound again because that was kinda my escape from a lot of the more groove centric metal that was out then. Bitter Peace is a banger and Scrum and Point are decent but the rest of it is a really lackluster listen. It just felt like all the energy had left the band for the most part and they'd been bucking trends for years but here they were settling in one. Yeah, it's still not for me.
@@thrallsofmetal Yeah, I suppose in light of some of the other songs on the record I can see your point though I do really like Stain of Mind. I just think that the several good tracks elevate it far past St. Anger territory. With that said I doubt this is anyone's go to Slayer record though. Anyways, thanks for doing what you guys do. I don't have any metal friends so your content is quite refreshing. Keep it up!
I agree. More than Nu Metal I think many of the tracks there are hard core inspired (lots of Biohazard influences especially on Stain Of Mind, Love To Hate, Wicked and Screaming From The Sky). On the other hand there's a couple of Nu Metal drum lines here and there (Death's Head is a blatant example although I kinda like the song) and others that mix some of the whispered intros with some elements of Divine Intervention (namely Desire and Overt Enemy). Other than that the remainder is pretty much in Divine's vein with In The Name Of God, Point and Scrum being cool enough songs as far as I'm concerned. Then there's Bitter Peace and man... this song wrecks everything in it's path. After the intro this is pristine top notch Seasons In The Abyss like Slayer and has a place in my band's top ten songs. So do I think Diabolus is a great album?... well not quite. IMO it lacks some consistency and there are too many songs I regard as fillers rendering it a bit uneven. On the other hand it features some great moments here and there, the Hard Core influence does not shock me and to be fair Slayer was the band that changed the least during the 90's from the so called big 4. IMO God Hates Us All (with the exception of Disciple, New Faith and Payback - all good songs) sounds way more Nu Metal to me (plus I really dislike its guitar sound) and apart from the songs I mentioned is absolutely dull. Not to mention Repentless that IMO is a void of ideas and a drag to listen for more than a couple of songs. But even those two albums aren't garbage per se. Only drop dead boring.
@@carlosjantarada7212 Yeah, I've never even considered this album to be nu metal. Definitely more hardcore/punk influence than anything. I mean they did just do that cover album just before this. Maybe that should be on this list, lol.
I remember like it was yesterday when i bough Slayer's Diabolous In Musica. I listen to it while walking home on release day. And as soon as it ended i took it out of my yellow sport sony walkman cd player 😅 and smash it to the concrete. The sound of it shattering into a million pieces put a smile on my face to this day. 😅 I really hate that Slayer album.
Necrotic Nick- I kept it because I kept trying to find something I loved other than Bitter Peace on it. Scrum and Point have their moments but man... there are a lot of turds on that one.
That was the first Slayer album I bought...
@@thrallsofmetal yes.....I did too. It opens with bitter peace and gives you a false sense of hope for the rest. The only other track I can tolerate is "in the name of god".....
Yeah that album released right on or near my 15th birthday, by the time the school year started I traded it for a dime bag of weed
One day i was listening Diabolous in musica while i was driving in my car trying to get into, suddenly i eject the cd and threw it out the window with so much hate🤣
1:20 I think Illuminum Anus is possibly one of the few albums out there that surpasses St.Anger in sheer awfulness.
I posted mine up over the weekend, it's a great subject to do a video on. We keep some crap stuff in our collections, man.
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. The brain is strange the way it holds on to negative memories harder that it does with positive ones and these shitty albums are still in my brain... and my collection because I can't seem to part with them. Glutton for musical punishment I guess. lol
Was wondering, are there any bands that have released not one bad album? My guess, Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, Bolt Thrower?
Tool?
Necrotic Nick- Man, that is tough but I would agree with Death though. I think Cannibal Corpse and Immolation's discographies are really solid too.
One more and how could I forget!!
Gotsu Totsu Kotsu!!
Japanese death metal with slap bass and a super-organic riffy sound. Quite thrashy. Five albums in and not a dunger in sight.
@@jmalinjapan7786 A good chunk of 10,000 days is pretty wank. But Vicarious, Rosetta Stoned and Right In Two make up for it.
Callenish Circle :) solid atmospheric melodeath, then they pivoted to industrial melodeath and still nailed it, then they added more electronic elements and STILL nailed it.
I really liked the latest Ministry album, Moral Hygiene. As a longtime Ministry fan, I admittedly stuck to the early, classic albums. I had no idea Amerikant was so fucking bad.
I love Morbid Angel but that album....woah. There's no way Steve Tucker would've been involved with that, and it's hard to believe Seasons of Mist let that one out.
I liked Nostradomus. Mainly Prophecy, Revelations, Four Horseman and the Title track.
Definitely not the best Priest album.
I think that Nostradamus by Judas Priest was only for fans… not even close to their best, but I loved the album because I love Judas Priest, and it was nice to hear them again… Alone and Visions are good songs, even though they are a bit slower compared to earlier era JP
That put me in the mood for some dubstep. It was innovative stuff early on, Nick. Shouldn't be mixed with metal though, I agree. So-called blackgaze is another ill-considered & stinky combo. I love My Bloody Valentine, love Darkthrone, but I don't want to hear them playing at the same time. It's like, hey, I baked you a chocolate cake & put lots of fried onions in it. Ugh, no!
Necrotic Nick- Dude, I love and hate that chocolate cake comparison. It's brilliant but I almost threw up in my mouth a bit reading that. lol.
people like distance and tunnidge can put metal influences in there and make it work, but i feel like korn are an abomination to start with and when you add another abomination like skrillex in there its beyond terrible.
Not talking more about worst albums, but I forgot mention that Creeper are also with Roadrunner, which I didn't even know. Roadrunner is well known for having metal bands on the label. But I didn't know that a punk/goth/emo band is on a metal label. Awesome. Just like how Parkway Drive, a metal band is on Epitaph, a punk label. Awesome both ways. Anyway, Creeper is awesome! Both of their records are excellent! I can't wait to see what they do next. Just wanted to say that because you mentioned that Nickelback was on Roadrunner, which I had no idea about until now. Nickelback is fine. They're one of the only butt rock bands I think are fine.
November 5th is gonna be a whopper when it comes to releases. Not only do we have Mol and Bullet for My Valentine dropping new albums, but Psycho Synner [formerly known as Psychosexual and fronted by ex-FFDP drummer Jeremy Spencer] are gonna release NINE albums that day. One of those albums is the earlier-mentioned Unholy Hymns for the Children. The nine albums are named as follows:
1. 666 B.C.-Volume 1: The Burning Years
2. 666 A.D.-Volume 2: The Scorched Years
3. Bite the Snake
4. As the Demon Dances Under the Blood Red Sky
5. Dying to See You
6. Fuck in the Fire
7. Killing You Softly
8. Unholy Hymns for the Children [which was the first of the bunch announced]
9. The Devil Made You Do It
Necrotic Nick- I'm not sitting through 9 albums worth of Psycho Trash and we're probably skipping Bullet for My Valentine too. You forgot new albums from Deceased, Chruchburn, Extinction A.D., Heads for the Dead, Mortiferum, Outre Tombe and Scarecrow too.
Not to be an elitist but, really? Psycho Sinner? I didn’t know that band had actual fans. Who the hell releases 9 albums on the same day? As for BFMV, they are as generic as metalcore comes. The only interesting thing they’ve done is Scream Aim Fire which was an admirable attempt at combining metalcore with thrash, but it had already been done way better by Trivium on their Crusade album. And that barely had any metalcore elements.
Oof
@@The_JustJoshing Only Psycho Synner would do such a thing! Another band that's releasing a large amount of albums in November is Lordi. That band will release a box set of 7 studio albums on November 26th called Lordiversity.
Sorry Diabolus in Música is a heavy as fuck album why the hate
Necrotic Nick- Not really hate. I'm just being honest about how I feel about it. It's a bad album in my opinion. Outside of a couple of tracks it lacks pretty much everything I loved about Slayer to that point. It's easily my least favorite album they put out.
It was they're delve into nu-metal, they gave into the trend when it was at it's height in 1998. It was definitely a low-point in they're career compared to the other masterpieces from the 80s.
Diabolus in Musica is "metal" for people with an IQ of 57...
@matt lol
Heavy trash sucks
I was a huge In Flames fan back in '06 when I first heard their album Come Clarity which I think is a solid album. But the earlier albums are what set the bar for me because since they're the pioneers of Melodic Death Metal and holy shit their material all the way up to Clayman as well as Reroute to Remain were absolute bangers. It kind of makes me upset they might never go back to their old roots but who knows what'll happen right? lol anyways I love their old stuff all the way up to Come Clarity.
Oh and yeah Siren Charms and I, the Mask...TERRIBLE
Necrotic Nick- I jumped on board with Reroute to Remain which I still enjoy for the most part and worked my way backwards in 2002. It felt like every release after that was getting more geared for singles but at least Soundtrack to You Escape and Come Clarity still retained a lot of their trademark sound. I think A Sense of Purpose was the beginning of the end.
@@thrallsofmetal I agree with you on that one dude. I won't be getting any of their new work but if they make an album that sounds a lot like their old stuff with a bit of a Reroute to Remain sound I will be more than happy to buy it. Also just to let you know I managed to snag an original pressing of The Jester Race on CD which I'm really happy about, that's 1 out of 5 I have only 4 more to go.
I actually like The Haunted. I know it's definitely not up to par with the majority of their material. Which is usually pretty killer. This is just on a different path all together. So I understand why people hate on it hard. But I actually liked it more than I thought I was going to. It's just not terrible IMO. Not great. But not bad.
Necrotic Nick- It's one I've tried repeatedly to go back and give it another chance but it really doesn't do much for me at all. There's a few moments that are OK but I don't think they were all on the same page when they wrote that one.
Had a couple good experiences from some of these, personally:
I thought Illud Divinum Insanus still had a couple of good tracks on it, but there were definitely some horrible tracks too.
I actually liked Hating Life. "Two of Me" had some riffs I particularly really loved.
I enjoyed Diabolus In Musica too.
Agree with everything else though! Always appreciate hearing thoughts and opinions from this channel. 🤘🏻
The moment the first album Haunted came out I was disappointed.
I’ve never listened to Broken Hope, but the t-shirt is very appropriate for this video!
Necrotic Nick- Honestly, I didn't think of it as a theme really with the shirt. I had just got it in the mail and I wanted to show it off because I love it. lol
Aside from Nostradamus and Supercharger I agree with all these. Albums like Unseen, Diabolus in Musica, and Hating Life were merely great bands punching under their own weight, but they could easily come back and release a killer album, which they all did. However, albums like Illud Divinum Insanus, Amerikkkant, The Path of Totality, and Siren Charms were disasters that tainted the reputation of all bands who made them. I'm lucky I never heard of that nu metal band at the end but I'm assuming they're something like Crazy Town or Limp Bizkit.
Necrotic Nick- I think with any longevity in music you're going to have missteps along the way. Maybe buckling to trends, label pressure or just simply phoning in a performance it does tend to happen. Occasionally bands will just shit the bed like Morbid Angel did though. lol. As for that last abomination, it's one of the few things I would say Crazy Town is better than. Yeah, that bad.
I like the 3death metal song songs on ILLUD
I think everything after Covenant is 50/50
But you are right, this would made Morecambe if it was the album after Domination
Necrotic Nick- Even those I think are just OKish to be honest. Covenant was the peak in my opinion but Formulas and Gateways were fucking sick in my book. I'm still hopeful they have another banger in them for the future.
I wasnt familiar with Dislocated Styles. They dont even have a Wikipedia page so that album must have been a huge bomb. They kind of remind me of some other bands from that era but not as good. Im curious as to what other records Roadrunner released during that period (late 90s-early 00's) that got forgotten because they didnt sell.
Necrotic Nick- I was surprised I even found art for it to be honest. It really is best forgotten but I had to bring it up because it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard.
I just checked out that Haunted album....dear lord
So nice to see that you started with that horrible letter --> I. I don't know what was Tray thinking at the time, but I suspect it might be an unsuspected visit from the aliens or some unknown substance. There's no other explanation.
Ministry has been a total garbage since those 2 albums from the early nineties. that DiM from Slayer is also terrible, straight to the obliteration process.
Necrotic Nick- I liked the industrial thrash years from Ministry with Houses of the Mole, Rio Grande Blood and The Last Sucker but the quality drop off after that was pretty bad.
1. IDI Morbid Angel
2. Against Sepultura
3. Summer in Paradise The Beach Boys
4. You're Welcome A Day to Remember
5. Generation Swine Motley Crue
6. Mania Fall Out Boy
7. Van Halen III Van Halen
8. Carthisis Machine Head
9. Shadow Life Dokken
10. The Path of Totality Korn
Found a lot of rock albums as well that are in contention for worst album. The list will change, but this is my worst rock/metal albums as of now.
lol Van Halen III, forgot that existed...
Man I remember when Against came out. Nothing was more disappointing.
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I'd say those are all certifiable stinkers.
You can say what you want about that Morbid Angel album, at least it spawned the amazing "North Korea hearing new Morbid Angel Album" youtube video. Absolute classic.
That morbid angel album was so terrible nothing but industrial bullshit and very bad
Turisas's 2013 album was such a slap in the face for me. The writing was on the wall with the terrible album name "Turisas2013" (yes, really), but nothing could have prepared me for something this uninspired and disjointed. St. Anger is at least consisent in its production quality and songwriting (for the better and for the worse), but that album was just mess through and through.
Man 2017 Nuclear Blast released the Holy Trinity of WTF with Machine Head Catharis, Suicide Silence ST, and Ministry Amerikkka all in the first quarter of that yr.
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I'm sure Nuclear Blast was super thrilled with all that bullshit too. lol
Siren Charms is one of my favorite IF albums, I don't care. There is something about that I really love. It sounds melancholic, sad yet hopeful and the stripped back sound is awesome
Necrotic Nick- To each their own, but for me they just tried to write a Katatonia album and missed big time. I wanted it to be great because In Flames has such a huge influence on my tastes for awhile but this is where they really lost me.
@@thrallsofmetal yeah I see your point. Albums like Clayman, Colony and Whoracle are among my favorites as well, but something about Siren Charms just strikes a chord
Illuvid Divinum is an insult to Death Metal and Morbid Angel
And in that ranking of Morbid Angel's albums, Necrotic said "Which is Latin for DUMPSTER FIRE!"
It's the drizzling shits.
Necrotic Nick- Part of me died when I listened to that the day I got it. I'll never get that time wasted back. lol
I like Nostradamus, it's a solid 7/10. It really doesn't fit JPs discography, but if it was released by another band i think people would praise it. Another 10 terrible metal albums: Sonic Syndicate - We Rule The Night, Cryptopsy - The Unspoken King, Amaranthe - Helix, Suicide Silence - Suicide Silence, Babymetal - Metal Resistance, Within Temptation - Hydra, Semargl - Satanic Pop Metal, Megadeth - The World Needs A Hero, Raunchy - A Discord Electric, Periphery - Periphery II: This Time It's Personal.
Necrotic Nick- I definitely agree that it doesn't fit in Judas Priest's discography. It honestly feels more like a Rob Halford solo project because his voice is the only think Judas Priest about that album. Honestly, out of that entire list I do like that Raunchy album. The 80's pop meets metalcore/ melodeath thing kinda works for me on that one.
Agree with many of yours. A few of mine- Obituary back from the dead, Death sound of perseverance, Load and Reload Metallica, Godflesh Us and Them, Six Feet Under's latest.
Necrotic Nick- I thought about throwing in Back from the Dead and Load/ Reload but I already had my list together. Thankfully I don’t own the last Six Feet Under and honestly I love Sound of Perseverance despite it being my least favorite Death album. Us and Them had some moments but not many.
In Flames lost cred with Come Clarity
1:23. 😄🤣😂😆😄 "morbid angels aluminum anus or whatever that says- I don't even care" 🔥
Disappointed that I didn't see anything I ironically like...
See; Quest for metal's "Hello Kitty Suicide Club"... that shit bangs!
Necrotic Nick- I'll have to check that one out. The name... oddly intrigues me. lol
This video taught me about Dislocated Styles. I listened to it and I fully agree with Necrotic Nick. It’s honestly shit lol
Respect to you for saying you liked Nu Metal. I fucking hated it. Born in 1980. I was let down by metal when that stuff hit the scene. It was a time that luckily has been almost forgotten about now. heheh. And for being a 'Death metal guy' you have so much knowledge dude, about almost any genre. Seen many of the videoes and updates. You are even a bigger nerd than myself, hehe. That's awesome mate. Cheers & beers :) \m/
Nick - The Oracle of Metal !
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! While it's not much of my thing now I did really love a lot of nu metal when I was younger and some of it still holds up pretty well in my opinion. That's one of the things I love about metal, there are so many different avenues to explore within that one genre and I love checking out new stuff or just stuff that's new to me. I'm a giant nerd even outside of metal. You should see my Godzilla collection. lol. Take care, man!
@@thrallsofmetal Big respect for you for saying that some Nu-Metal is okay. As a huge Nu-Metal fan I have big respect for traditional Metal in general, most traditional Metal is a bit too different for me to like but I do love Symphonic Metal with bands like Epica and early Within Temptation. Extreme Metal is far too abrasive for me, I respect it but it’s not for me.
You probably wouldn’t like a lot of Nu-Metal that i like as I like the more Rap or Latin influenced stuff, but tbh Nu-Metal made its own fanbase that weren’t Metal fans or even Rap fans, I wasn’t a Metal or a Rap fan but I’ve grown to have a huge respect for Metal and Rap (good 90’s Rap that is, not the modern shit). I have a big respect for Metal, I just wished more traditional Metal fans try to understand and have even just a little bit of respect for Nu-Metal like you at least do.
Diabolus In Musica looks like a Smashing Pumpkins album.
Agree with ya on most of these, tho I don't hate Diabolos in musica, I think that it's defo one of Slayers weakest, but there's still a few good tracks I'd say, I also I like a few tracks on Unseen, especially the Tool like title track, but it was certainly a drastic change in style and I totally get why it gets a lot of hate.
Necrotic Nick- Diabolus is still my least favorite Slayer album and it really hasn't aged well. There are some decent songs on it like Bitter Peace but when it's bad it's pretty damn bad on that one. Unseen possibly could have been good but I don't think the band was all in on the change in musical direction honestly. It felt like they wanted to make a Katatonia album but missed the mark. I'm glad they got Marco back and got back to business.
Regarding In Flames, I started with Whoracle in approx 1998 and saw them live twice on the Clayman tour in 2000 (once with a very young Shadows Fall touring off of their first album). First album is decent but kinda "bleh". Jester Race through Clayman are godly. I can spin any of those albums at any time and the nostalgia comes in like a flood. Whoracle is probably still my favorite album of theirs. Reroute is where things started to go downhill and the mainstream influence started to creep in. Some good songs on there but... nowhere near Clayman or before. Soundtrack to Your Escape? Horrible. There may be one song on the whole album that I can stomach. Garbage production also.
Come Clarity. Mostly forgettable but certainly better than Soundtrack imo. Take this Life, the title track, Scream and Crawl Through Knives are better than anything on Soundtrack imo. Here's where it gets interesting. Just when I thought In Flames was down and out they come out with A Sense of Purpose. Most people have totally written IF off by this point and I don't blame them for it, but for me, they are too nostalgic of a band and are the reason that I got into melodic Swedish style metal. If you haven't heard A Sense of Purpose and given it a shot you may want to revisit this album. The Mirrors Truth, Disconnected, I'm the Highway, Sober and Irrelevant, Condemned, March to the Shore and Abnegation are all top notch songs. Imo, if A Sense of Purpose would have been released after Clayman, it would have gotten a better reception than Reroute did simply because it's a better album than Reroute was. It's just that people had given up on them and lumped the album in with all the other stinkers.
The rest of In Flames' discography is ass water. Terrible, up til the last album they released which I though had a few good tracks on it but nothing special. TL;DR, Revisit A Sense of Purpose, especially the songs I listed above from it. It's a really solid album imo. I thought they were on some sort of comeback when they released it but then they came out with another steaming pile of garbage afterwards, I don't even remember what it was called. Either way... have a good one. Cheers. I've rambled on enough.
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, the last one I enjoyed was Come Clarity as well and it's been a turd rolling down a hill ever since honestly. I've gone back to A Sense of Purpose periodically but it still doesn't resonate with me much outside of a couple of songs. I also hate the muddy guitar tone on that whole album. I don't see myself getting any new In Flames unless they put out something truly remarkable in the future.
"Mountain Dew soaked edginess" hahahah amazing!!!
Looking back at it, Metallica's St Anger is terrible, but it isn't as bad as other rock/metal albums!
Necrotic Nick- I suppose that it depends on what albums it's being compared to.
You must be Lars Ulrich. St Anger and The Industrial Morbid Angel album are by far the 2 worse in the history of Metal. Bathory - Octagon runs a close third
I like that Slayer cd. I didn't know everyone hated it before the internet
The best track on Siren Charms was one of the bonus songs lol. There last album I, The Mask is actually a step in the right direction and I like about 50% of that one.
Necrotic Nick- I feel like that's the equivalent of finding a $20 at the bottom of a sewage tank. I'd rather just ignore it. lol. I heard the singles they released for the last one and it really didn't do much for me honestly. I'm still pissed about them re-recording those tracks on Clayman recently.
LOL Don't hate me Nick but, as a diehard Grave fan...i actually liked Grave's Hating Life. It was stripped down, mid tempo and considering it came out right in the middle of the Grunge Move-shit!! It literally held me from blowing my wig back in 96' the same can be said from the mighty Dismember's Maximum Killing Capacity same song structures, tempo's and i loved that album too for the same obvious reasons lol. BUT!! i will mention ONE album that makes me cringe to this day and was a travesty IMO was Entombed's To ride, die, and speak the truth that album pissed me off so bad when i heard it i smashed it on my driveway! That album right there was the band's demise from then on out with that Death n Roll BS as to me? it was the blueprint for In Flames demise along with many others.... Killer reviews bro keep em coming!
Necrotic Nick- No hate, bro. lol. I get what they were trying to go for on that one with the stripped down groove metal sound but man... it's pretty damn awful in my opinion. Being a metal band in the mid to late 90's was hell though and there was a lot of the whole "fight to remain relevant" since the trend was kind of to shit on metal at the time. Those Dismember and Entombed releases while not great, I think were a bit better. I still love the title track on To Ride but most of that album is just a weaker Wolverine Blues to me. Thanks again for checking out the vids, man!
Is the shirt an additional Fuck You to these abysmal records because Broken Hope has a flawless discography?
Necrotic Nick- Honestly, I just wore it because it was new but Broken Hope's discography is better than any of the album mentioned here that's for fucking sure.
The swamped in gore tee🤘🤘🤘 fuck yeah!
I haven't heard all these albums but the ones i have i agree for me i would have rebel extravaganza by satyricon and virtual xl by maiden on here as well
Necrotic Nick- I don't own Virtual IX otherwise it might have been on there but I honestly don't mind Rebel Extravaganza to be honest. Far from their best but it didn't put me off as much as any of these to be honest.
Actually Morbid Curiosity sounds like a cool name for a metal band.
I agree with many albums, like morbid angel or machine head. But I really like "hating life" from Grave and Siren Charms was also a great album of In Flames. Sure it was a complete rupture, but in my opinion In Flames is one band that made so many changes and still remained awesome as hell! But sure I get why many people dislike siren charms, when I listened to it for the first time, I also felt like "wtf? This is kinda weird" but it grew on me by time. I also like "diabolus in musica" by Slayer, sure not one of their best albums, but not as bad as "undisputed attitude"
Necrotic Nick- While I appreciate both In Flames and Grave's earlier works (actually a pretty fair amount of Grave recent stuff too) both of those really missed for me. Hating Life sounded like a completely different band and just turned their sound into kinda faceless groove metal and In Flames essentially was a different band at that point. After Jesper left the fold the quality of the releases from In Flames really dropped for me and as many times as I've tried to give Siren Charms a chance it's still not my thing. With Slayer, at least Undisputed Attitude was just a cover album minus the abysmal Gemini, but Diabolus was all their writing. As a punk fan I can at least appreciate those covers for what they are.
@@thrallsofmetal yeah I can completely understand what you mean! I forgot to say that I got into In Flames and Grave when they had already released a bunch of albums. I think you can have a completely different point of view when you listened to the band from the very starting point.
Yes you‘re right, Slayer did good cover versions on this one, but it‘s not my thing, although the band is one of my all time favorites.
Your video was so great, can‘t wait for the next to come 😃
Metallica - Load, Reload, Black album
Suicidal Tendencies - Freedumb
Sepultura - Against
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Kreator - Endorama
Megadeth - Risk
Coroner - The Unknown
Anthrax - Stomp 442, Vol 8
Exodus - both Atrocity albums
Ministry - Relapse
Destruction - The Least Successful Human Cannonball
Coroner - The Unknown is an unreleased compilation album.
Even though Vol 8 is probably the worst Anthrax album, I don’t really think it’s that bad compared to other bands’ low points. And I actually like Stomp 442.
Necrotic Nick- I actually really dig both of the Atrocity Exhibition albums especially the 2nd one.
I was young and dumb as shit.
St anger got me through shit.
To me this album is OK.
Great video watch. Here's a controversial opinion I have,I actually liked Slayer's Diablolus In Musica. Mainly because I have a good variety of Metal genres I currently listen to and Nu Metal is one of them. I personally think Slayer trying something different kind of worked,but am I saying I thought it was a perfect album, absolutely not. There are three songs on there I can't stand, Overt Enemy,Desire, and Wicked,three of Slayer's worst songs ever created. But overall I kind of enjoyed it,I can totally get why most people hate it,I mean it's Death Metal Icons trying a different genre,so I knew it wouldn't be well received at all. My favorite songs on the Album are the more Thrasy sounding songs,like the second track. Again,great video!
Would disagree on Morbid, the I album is way better than Formulas, Heretic or the newer one for the simple fact Evil D is on it.
Will instead put Exodus's Force Of Habit, or as I like to call it Exodus In Chains :)
I had to listen to one of the dislocated styles songs out of curiosity never heard the name or anything about them before this, Jesus that was like listening to a 90s boy band with some shit guitars going on in the background!!
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, it's a musical abortion and somehow I feel like I'm being nice calling it that. Easily one the worst things I've ever heard.
Ilud Divinum Insanus sucks, but the trouble with metal is that I enjoy a lot of things in metal that suck.
I agree with you on a lot of these points. Even Siren Charms, as an In Flames fan I own almost all except Jester Race and Sounds of a Playground failing. Some of their new stuff is whiny, yet I still enjoy them in some way shape or form.
Diabolus is PUUUURRRRE TRRRRASH. Never have I heard more shit on a record period. This is equal to Lulu, and when I did my video for this thread. I actually broke my copy of it, even though I still don’t know how I got it in my collection. Ha
Necrotic Nick- I own everything but the last one from In Flames and I don't want it. I bought Battles in hopes there was some sliver of the In Flames I loved in the band and... nope. It's just whiney alternative metal and I think that's all we'll get from them from now on. Outside of Bitter Peace and maybe Point, Diabolus is better off forgotten.
@@thrallsofmetal I agree 100%
There are few times in my life where a new album came out that made me angry. The Haunted - Unseen is definitely in there. Man, I can't believe you bought that (but I've bought Risk twice so I can't talk too much shit)
Surprised Digimortal from FF isn't on there. You go from those first 3 albums to THAT. Nevermore's last album was horrific compared to the past as well. Paradise Lost - Host as well.
I'll defend Diabolus a little. I saw them on that tour (first Slayer show) and Bitter Peace opener was the first insane moshing I've ever seen. Perversions of Pain is my #1 super underrated Slayer track of all time lol. It's not a good album (Stain of Mind is horrible) BUT it's miles better than something like SUPERCHARGER.
Regarding In Flames. I haven't listened to the last 3 albums. I'm done. I don't care. Call me if Jesper ever comes back.
Wait, but what's wrong with Nevermore's last album?
@@mkrrusak7116 They had a nasty breakup after that album and I just don't think the quality holds compared to the rest of the catalog. I just think they lost it on this album. I never return to it. It's a massive dip in quality to me.
Necrotic Nick- For awhile I was pretty ride or die with The Haunted and while Versus wasn't their best it was still pretty solid. I thought The Dead Eye was a cool, more experimental album too and that's kinda what I thought I might get with Unseen. What I got was pretty damn close to Unlistenable. I thought about throwing Transgression from Fear Factory on this one but I already had a lot in the running. I think that one is way worse than Digimortal honestly. I was fortunate to finally see Slayer in '04 when Dave came back and they were back to ripping it up then. When I saw them before at Tattoo the Earth they didn't play much of anything from Diabolus. Yeah, In Flames is pretty much dead to me now as well. I don't think they have it in them to write another classic sounding album again.
Well done sir
Cancer's 4th album "Black Faith". It's a decent hard rock album but HOLY SHIT...far cry from the Cancer of "Death Shall Rise". Just disappointing. Heck, drummer Carl Stokes daughter online told me she thinks that album sucks compared to the others. "Sorry dad, but that album blows". Hahaha. Newest Cancer album though, a nice return to form and the best since "Sins of Mankind". Also, Morgoth "Feel Sorry For The Frantic".
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I don’t own that one but I’ve jammed it years ago just to hear it and wow… pretty rough. Pretty rough when even your own daughter won’t defend it but Cancer has some flat out classics though and the newest one was pretty solid. I thought about throwing that Morgoth album in but I already had my 10 together at that point. That album is pretty bad though.
It's not that I like Diabolus In Musica, but I still feel that it deserves better than being mentioned in the same breath as St. Anger, Illud, Risk, The Promise, Cold Lake and all these other legendary trainwrecks.
Again, I'm not a fan and it's definitely Slayer's worst but it's still considerably more listenable than most of the other albums on the list.
Also, hoooooly hell man! Decided to check out Dislocated Styles... that album is so bad I'm pretty much speechless! This has got to be one of the worst albums I've ever heard. There's not a single positive thing I can say about it. It's up there with Celtic Frost's Prototype
Necrotic Nick- I think Diabolus is probably one of the most defended ones on this list but for me the best part of the album is turning it off after Bitter Peace. There's a couple of other decent tracks but it's just a bland album with no energy to it. Yeah, that Dislocated Styles is fucking atrocious even by nu metal standards. That album actually made Crazy Town sound competent... in comparison. That's it. Just complete and utter garbage.
@@thrallsofmetal 'Bland' is a pretty good description of DiM. And oh man, Crazytown 😂 So much bad music from that era!
With bad albums I feel like you've got to consider what caliber of musician you're dealing with to truly evaluate how much something sucks. Like I can forgive a 14 year old's black metal bedroom project for sounding like shit because of course it does, but if I told you that former members of cannibal corpse, braindrill, vile and anomalous were in a group together there's no way you'd guess that it would be as consistently fucking abysmal as six feet under are. It's almost a question of how far short of it's potential something falls, which is why to this day illud divinum insanus has emetic properties and is considered cruel and unusual under Geneva convention ruling, but something that's perhaps even more inept like that godawful psychosexual album doesn't raise too many eyebrows anymore.
Necrotic Nick- Valid points, bro. There's a lot of factors that can go into it like how consistent the band has been, whether or not their jumping on trends/ trying to stay current, internal conflicts. Sometimes you get the perfect storm of terrible with an album and it's a giant shitshow like Aluminum Anus.
Entombed's "Same Difference" is one that definitely should've been on your list. Lol
Necrotic Nick- I thought about it but I decided to save that rant for when we rank Entombed's albums after we do Incantations. lol
Aluminum Anus 😂 It's almost like David Vincent saw "The Room" and thought "Yeah...this! But in album form.
I actually liked Diabolus, wasn't peak Slayer, but considering they tried out being a punk cover band on their previous album, hardly a terrible record. That whole period (1995 to 1999) was a weird time for a lot of established metal bands in hindsight.
I remember seeing that Dislocated Styles CD on the shelves at a couple local music shops in high school, but I never even picked it up to look at it. I don't think anyone else did either.
Necrotic Nick- I actually own a copy of The Room on DVD and it's more enjoyable than that shitshow of an album lol. Diabolus seems to get more defense than the others on this list but it's still a turkey to me. While Undisputed Attitude wasn't great it at least wasn't their own material they did a poor job on (minus Gemini which is awful). I agree though that the mid to late 90's was a rough time for a lot of metal acts from the 80's and early 90's. yeah, I was dumb enough to snag that Dislocated Styles just because it had the Roadrunner stamp on it... pretty damn naïve of me. lol
@@thrallsofmetal I agree Diabolus is a turkey, but at least it was basted and fully cooked. 😂 It's weak for Slayer certainly.
1-10 SIX FEET UNDER!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I'm waiting for the metallica rankings so I can say my most uncommon words yet. Don't worry not letting the lion out the bag yet. Wait ministry oooh I gotta get that album to see n hear if I agree. Only heard couple of tracks so can't comment yet.
What kind of sun glasses are those?
Necrotic Nick- Very cheap ones I got at a Walgreens.
I know it's disqualified but St. Anger..........with the exception of the singles, I never listened to it due to reputation. On January 11th 2019 (a day that shall live in infamy) I ordered the CD from Amazon to complete the discography, downloaded the digital copy, and proceeded to listen to it all in one sitting. Now, I have amassed a fairly substantial music library over the last few decades and have purchased more than my fair share of bowl swirlers in that time but I swear to all that is unholy, not one of them made me as angry to listen to as St. Trashcanlid. I still have PTSD from the snare that Lars pounds relentlessly, the horrible vocals that an overly verbose Hetfield unleashes without tonal regard, song structures that were so repetitious I ran out of hair on my head to pull out and started working on my face, and the production........Christ almighty. Granted I haven't listened to many albums on this list but some I have and not one of them, not one, has ever made me both angry and fatigued to anywhere near that degree. I was hopeful that it wasn't as bad as people said but I was wrong, so very very wrong. I would rather listen to FFDP's entire discography than sit through that ever again and trust me when I say, that means a lot.
Honorable mention to any "metal" band described as crabcore, that utilizes autotune in any fashion, or that has a music video showing the band doing that jogging in place thing.
Necrotic Nick- St. Anger may be the reason I despise the "slam metal snare" so much because that's all I can here is that trash can bullshit snare from St. Anger. Garbage production all around, not a single solo to be found, cringe lyrics... this really checked off a lot of boxes for "terrible album" right away. I vaguely remember the "crabcore" thing... it's probably for the best though. lol
@@thrallsofmetal Hahaha, crabnesia is a blessing.
A few that don't get as much attention
1 Desultory - Swallow the Snake
2 Atrocity - BLUT
3 Ancient - Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends
4 Colemesis - Jalapeños in Burger Republic
5 Cancer - Spirit in Flames (also Black Faith)
6 Vermin - Millennium Ride
7 Unleashed - Warrior
8 Entombed - Same Difference
9 Anathema - Distant Satellites
10 Amon Amarth - Berzerker
I defend Anathema to death but with Distant Satellites I gave up. I just couldn’t anymore. Getting close to that with all new Leprous records.
I think Distant Satellites is pretty great. And I found Berserker to be a refreshing album, it’s actually less “samey” than most of Amon Amarth’s discography (even though I like Amon Amarth I really can hardly differentiate most of their albums).
@@magellan1000 I actually thought the same thing when it first came out. I was pretty let down by Jomsviking and was desperate for its followup to be better. At face value, it did seem to fix some of those "problems" initially, but now that I've had time to let it sink in, I think it's even worse, the epitome of "paint by numbers" metal...dull, bland, uninspired and lacking any creative vitality. Disagree about *most* of their albums being samey, each album had a pretty definitive identity down to Twilight..., but afterwards it did get a bit repetitive. In that sense, Berzerker might stand out a tad from the bunch, but only as a creative nadir.
@@DefenestratedMessiah I’ll have to spin Berserker again and see if it has aged poorly for me as well. And I think they’re a cool band so I don’t mean to knock them… It’s just to me personally most of their music blurs together.
Being a old school Swedish death metal fan the grave album was a huge disappointment
The slayer one has a couple of good tracks like perversions of pain and love to hate which reminds a it of south of heaven definitely not there best work but I wouldn't put in the same category as the rest of those piles of shit
Hey mate, just be fully aware that people are pausing you to check out each bad album in another tab and some will actually like it and even buy it, so you all could really be doing something positive in this. BTW Dislocated Styles isn't bad...it's an extreme type of bad!
Necrotic Nick- Hey, if people find stuff they enjoy in this then more power to them. Taste is all subjective so one person's trash can end up being another's treasure. That Dislocated Styles album needs to be buried in a landfill.
i would interested about a video for "the worst albums by legendary bands" or so, just an idea and i know is would be like this video, but difference is that these albums are vomitive, the others could be just their less good albums, maybe.
Hugs and cheers.
Necrotic Nick- I like that idea but I feel like I probably covered a lot of the main ones here and we'd probably get to some of these in rankings since we definitely want to cover some legendary bands in metal. Maybe the worst from one band vs the worst from another would be fun? There's some interesting ways to approach this one.
Nostradamus. I was amazed at how long it is without managing a single good tune. Diabolus. Wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t supposed to be Slayer.
Necrotic Nick- Agreed on both points honestly. Maybe if Diabolus was done by a different band I'd feel differently. Nostradamus is just a long snooze fest though.
In no particular order:
Metallica The Black album,
Annihilator Set the World on Fire,
Six Feet Under Nightmares of the Decomposed
Judas Priest Ram it Down
Bruce Dickinson Tattooed Millionaire
Celtic Frost Cold Lake
Megadeth Risk
Cancer Black Faith
Anthrax We've come for you all
Testament Souls of Black
I love Tattooed Millionaire. Sure, it’s more hard rock than metal, but it’s got a bunch of great tracks. I’m a big fan of We’ve Come For You All as well! And Souls of Black isn’t as good as some other Testament albums but it’s still damn good IMO.
Just about to say, I like your list, all but "Tattooed Millionaire". Oh well, cant agree on everything. Fuckin BLACK album still gets the controversy going, Most folks I share taste with love JUSTICE but felt the burn and betrayal on the follow up. It's because I was so excited and hopeful. Lol.
Necrotic Nick- Honestly, I love Testament's Souls of Black and We Have Come for You All has some solid tracks on it. The Black Album exists and I never have to listen to it again. Do those count as compliments? lol. I haven't listened to that Bruce Dickinson album so I can't say anything about it but I agree with the rest of them.
@@thrallsofmetal Nick, if you’re in the mood for some late 80s-style hard rock sometime then you’d probably like Tattooed Millionaire. Just don’t go into it expecting metal or anything that sounds like Maiden (except the vox obviously).
