[CiG]

You post the most in the controversial opinions thread haha, what did you expect?

Powerslave is a fine choice I guess.

I think it sucks donkey balls compared to Painkiller

You're insane. No wonder you love this specific thread.

Actually I've been pretty open that I don't care for Iron Maiden. I picked that one because it tends to be the most favored from what I've seen. If I had to pick a favorite metal album for 1984 I'd go with Metal Churches debut or if I can include demos I'd choose Voivod's To the death demo.

 

[CiG]

Metal Church is a great choice too.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Metal Church is a great choice too.

Glad we can agree on that

How would you feel if someone said Powerslave was the best metal album of 1984?

CROWN UPON HIS HEAD, KING OF ALL THE DEEEEEAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGHDDDDDDD!

 

[CiG]

1984 was an amazing year for metal. Hail To England and King Of The Dead!

Ride the Lightning fucken

Ride the Lightning fucken

Its my favorite Metallica album easily but still not one of my favorite thrash albums.

Cool. It's my fave Metallica along with Puppets and they are both absolutely the pinnacle of the genre imo.

 

[CiG]

Yeah have to agree, Ride The Lightning is top quality thrash metal.

Coma of Souls is fucking horrible, a sad attempt at selling out towards a Bay Area sound, and I really don't understand how People of the Lie (a veritable 0/10 song) is one of their most popular. I'd take Endorama over it.

You couldn't be any more wrong about this. It's clearly Kreator's strongest album, and aside from being better produced than their previous efforts, it has very little in common with the bay area sound. Given your taste for more progressive thrash, your opinion on this is pretty bizarre.

@MrTagoMago Rust in Peace is also high quality throughout. Polaris is a stand out track for me.

 

[Krow]

All you guys did was prove @MrTagoMago right about 1990 with your lists.

Painkiller > all of those.

 

[Internally Deformed]

The Eye > Painkiller

 

[Krow]

Everything by King D after Conspiracy is pretty goddamn forgettable

 

[Internally Deformed]

What's wrong with The Eye? One of my favourite King D albums. The Spider's Lullaby is where they started to become boring.

Not sure what the fuck he was thinking with this track, though:

 

[MrTagoMago]

Yeah have to agree, Ride The Lightning is top quality thrash metal.

I'll say it has some of the best songs in thrash but if this makes sense I'd rather just listen to select tracks off of it every now and then rather than listen from beginning to end.

Glad to see someone defend Coma of Souls and I'll give Rust in piece another listen probably later today.

This. My favorite of the first 5-6 Kreator albums
