The drum playing is inferior but the drum sound is better on Abominations of Desolation in my opinion. I know that clicking sound doesn't bother you but I just cannot get past it. It has no impact whatsoever.

The guitar tone is the worst part. Morrisound produced some of the shittiest sounding guitar tones. Tortured Existence would be another case of that.

I don't even know what you mean tbh. The kick drum? There is plenty of bass response under the click.
The guitar tone is fine. It's an odd mix, that's all. Everything is pretty tight, dry and compressed except for the snare & toms, which are huge and wet. I like that you can hear everything, including the bass guitar. It's definitely not a typical Morrisound sounding production.

His Primordial-style vocals don't fit this music, and the drumming sounds terrible. Lesser than the sum of its parts 
A glorified compilation record and an awful one at that. You're better off just listening to the original albums.
One of the most disappointing releases of 1984. When I originally got this from a local record store on CD in grade school, I was so excited to hear what these gentlemen would have done in one of the best years the genre of metal ever had, especially considering how much I liked Power and the Glory. Despite the excellent title track, the entire album just proves to be an utterly limp-wristed farce of an album. At best, it's mediocre (discounting the title track, of course) and at its worst, it is downright embarrassing.
Of course, the album cover only exacerbated this disappointment. I mean, you have an army being led by a bunch of knights on horseback through a battlefield of sand and corpses and you get an wealth of songs like Just Let Me Rock and...A Little Bit of What You Fancy. Ugh.

even better off just not listening to them.
I mean, I get why people dislike them (due to their orchestral excesses with Symphony of the Enchanted Lands Pt. II) but they're honestly nowhere close to being bad.

There is no metal band on the planet worse than the musical hebenon you regularly pour down your ears.

Well, shit. I guess since Serjeant Grumbles has owned me so badly I should just go cry into my beer while I listen to Carly Rae Jepsen.
Or you could learn to stop being a "darker than thou" cock who has to have everything be sad or evil to enjoy it. Live your life a little you goddamn killjoy.
@Serjeant Grumbles Yeah, LISTEN TO THIS MAN!
I thought that you cried in your beer regularly upon the realization of your somewhat horrid taste. Sorry, my mistake.

What does he listen to that is so bad that you could justify this comment? Does he listen to Marilyn Manson and Children of Bodom or something?

considering you once said that if music doesn't use pathos in some way then you don't like it
why would i assume you like something like that?

I also said that music can be both dark and uplifting. Those two songs have alluring melodies, using minor scales, which have a dark connotation. I wouldn't go so far as to call them dark, but they definitely avoid the bland cheeriness usually conveyed by major scales. Music cannot be sexy or romantic to me if it's bland.
