I don't get it, the thing that should not be is definitely their heaviest song. (and best) Battery and disposable heroes are pretty damn heavy too.
Music is not a race! And who really judges an album on how much thrash it is? I judge albums on whether they are good or not. If MoP had no thrash in it it could still be awesome. Do you think they went for intensity and rawness of the early thrash movement? Obviously not. Is it a thrash record? I would say classic 2nd generation thrash. The stuff most of the bigger bands developed into doing (Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Testament etc). I usually call it "heavy thrash" as to point out how the heavy metal influences become more apparent.
Here is another one: Both newest Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord albums are some of the shittiest that both bands have released, especially Drought it's incredibly mediocre.
I would retort if I didn't approve of your tastes.Not really controversial, I just think you have bad taste and don't make sense at times.
How can RTL be better than KEA while KEA is the better than all of Metallica's material?
Labelling Agalloch with a genre is a controversial opinion in itself. To me there's folk, doom, post-rock and black metal throughout their works, though you can't deny the black roots in Pale Folklore or any other of their early works.I agree with everything except for the Agalloch part. They aren't Black Metal. I just don't see enough traits.

Ozzy Sabbath may be the only Sabbath, but Heaven & Hell stomps the shit out of Ozzy solo. Shows who the actual talent was in the band, IMO.
...the quality among them is really different - Orion and Lepper Messiah are clear fillers and then you have like 15 minutes thrown in the garbage?
I clearly said ' for being considered one of the greatest albums in thrash'. With that in mind, MoP it's lacking. As a sole 'metal' album, I still think it's not that good, it's inconsistent - all over the place; for being just 8 songs, the quality among them is really different - Orion and Lepper Messiah are clear fillers and then you have like 15 minutes thrown in the garbage?; The thing could be their 'heaviest' but it's extremely repetitive and boring doing so.

Ozzy was important on the early efforts because his singing didn't get in the way of the riffs. He let the riffs breathe which was so damned important, I don't see that working out the same way with Dio or the others. That said, I'm a big fan of their later material as well.Even The Devil you Know beats the shit out of Technical Ecstasy and Never say Die... I'll go further saying that Dio Sabbath, Tyr and Headless Cross are even better than Sabotage. Also, Ozzy is the least important thing on the quality of the first Sabbath albums.

Anyway, I think that AJFA is superior in songwriting, aggression, melodies, consistency but also offering some variety without losing the whole picture. The only thing I think AJFA needed to be changed were some production choices.
Still, talking about Metallica nowadays is hardly controversial.

Worded that rather poorly in my sleep-deprived state, I meant that RoL > MoP, AJFA or the black album. Yes, the big four is obviously the first four that they did, but I misused the term in my original post.
Please feel free to stone me in the stocks.
