The guitar picking on kill em all has a lot more balls and sounds more like what thrash is.
Everyone time I listen to kill 'em especially that part in the four horsemen when the guitars are just being picked and the drums cut out.... i'm like THAT'S FUCKING METAL.

Yeah Venom's pretty bad technically. But they're fun, I like them when I need music I don't have to think about.

I'm going to have to go with Metallica's "Kill 'Em All." While Venom's "Welcome to Hell" (and don't forget the album from the following year, "Black Metal") and Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" did lay a lot, if not most, of the groundwork for what would later become the Thrash Metal movement, neither one of these albums would be so imitated throughout the 1980's by the underground Thrash Metal bands as Metallica's Kill 'Em All - from the recording style to the style of writing.
Let's face it, a lot of the 80's Thrash bands who never really got far were ripping off the style from Metallica's early catalog while that band moved on to better things, financially and musically (well, during the 1980's, anyway).
I agree, but the energy probably would have been lost if they had an actual budget AND if Neat Records didn't take the tapes that Venom were using as a demo to showcase the band's sound and release it as their first LP.
An honorary mention, indeed, though I don't think it can truly be classified as THE first Thrash Metal album.
Oh, and to whoever said that Venom sucked technically - it should be noted that Abbadon has been out of the band for quite some time.

hmmm what about Motorhead's albums? not the first thrash albums ? Probably Kill Em All if you want to classify it as modern full out thrash at the time but if not then i would say Motorhead albums that came out before Metallica....

No it's opinion as well... since some people don't consider certain things on the list as Thrash. And that's an opinion of sorts.

Well seriously KEA was the first true thrash album in terms of when it came out. So, it really IS fact, unless some people claim KEA isn't thrash which is just silly.
