Consuming Impulse is better than anything Asphyx did.
listen to songs like "The Krusher" and "Food For the Ignorant" off of Last One On Earth and tell me that it doesn't slay Pestilence.
not to mention i think Asphyx did a pretty good job on the switch of vocalists- Pestilence didn't.
Pestilence's first two are still pretty great though.
it's been a long time since i've listened to Motorhead, but i can't think of a single one of their albums that can hold my attention throughout the entire thing.
Welcome To Hell and Black Metal, on the other hand, are excellent.
I didnt really like his vox at first either, but it grew on me... now i thinks he's a great vocalist.
Not only is Pleasure to Kill easily one of their best early albums, its probably their best work album along with Terrible Certainty.
i like Terrible Certainty and Endless Pain more, and then there's Extreme Aggression and Coma of Souls, which i think are their best with Endless Pain.
i love the raw, sloppy, early German style, and Kreator did it decently, just not on Pleasure to Kill. i can only think of a handful of riffs on that album that entertain me that much, and the whole thing just isn't put together well if you ask me.
Its definitely one of the best.
aside from the Gothenburg shit that came out later (that still released a few decent albums- Dark Tranquillity every now and then could pull their heads out of their asses and do something decent, and i'm quite fond of At the Gates), i can't think of a single scene that's been as consistently awesome. even today there's bands like Tribulation, Repugnant, Bastard Priest, etc, still kicking ass.
America, in its prime, had Autopsy, whom are my favorite band, and Morbid Angel and such, but i can't think of a single modern American death metal band that i enjoy (off the top of my head).
then there's Canada, who had Gorguts, Cryptopsy, etc, who are of course awesome, but i'm not so big into the modern tech death scene there. and i guess Finland, which released some excellent records but can't really compete either.

well that isn't very nice. ) :
This isn't even debatable. Endless Pain is far, far worse. Endless Pain is, in fact, fucking terrible. Some good songs, but the atrocious production kills it.
can't think of anything particularly wrong with the production. i mean it's lofi as hell but i don't really mind.
