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

Is there a version that doesn't include Too Scared To Scream? Otherwise, you bet!
Hmm, my original vinyl contains TSTS...
Not sure if tracks were different according to country (I'm in the U.S.) but you may have just proven me wrong, sir.
Hammerheart is obviously the best album of 1990, it's the best album ever so...
Manilla Road - Courts of Chaos
Morgoth - The Eternal Fall
> Painkiller

I don't consider it to be a particularly progressive album at all. It's full of somewhat melodic mid-tempo chugging not far removed from Master of Puppets material, but the arrangements are generally much simpler even relative to that one, let alone prog thrash proper. The production is nice, I don't mind that it's slick and accessible, I do mind the uber bland riffs and drumming though.
Extreme Aggression or Pleasure to Kill might give it a run for its money, but Coma of Souls just feels more fully developed. It also sounds more like it was written as an album than a collection of tracks, so it flows more smoothly.
