How did you come up with those scores based on a list of 10? I'm trying to figure it out. Did you use an aggregate score or something?

20-1=19
The difference between first and last place)
19/9=2.111
Now you have an even amount that when subtracted 8 times will leave you with 1 for the last place. (I rounded to 2.1, which is why the difference between spots 9 and 10 is disproportionate by .1, but this should have a negligible impact).

I'm re-listening to it right now and my main gripe is it has a tacky AOR sound to it that makes me feel like I'm kicking it in a mechanic's waiting room during the 80s. There aren't any straight up bad songs, just a lot of vanilla stuff. I'll take the quasi-grunge sound of Cross Purposes and Forbidden (Dollar Tree production quality and all) over this, simply because its a better aesthetic and tone. The only song that really stands out is the title track, which is gritty, dark, and cynical.
Still, I could see moving up a few spots as I re-listen to the bottom of the barrel.
Yup. I'm thinking start with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, etc. and then move on to extreme bands with well-known discographies like Burzum, Death, etc. But I'm open to suggestions.

The Eternal Idol is a great album but if I had to rank the Martin albums I'd still put it fourth behind Cross Purposes, Tyr and Headless Cross. "The Shining" and the title track are some of the best Martin-era songs.

Im loving the love for the Martin albums. Its nice to see folks arent just "only ozzy and dio sabbath are real"
Anyone who thinks Tyr, Headless Cross and The Eternal Idol are bad albums doesn't know what a bad album sounds like.
Headless Cross is definitely my favorite Martin-era album though.
They're not even BAD just so pedestrian, which I'd argue is worse. At least bad albums evoke some form of reaction.

they usually do evoke a reaction: "dur, its not ozzy or dio, screw it", which is retarded and wrong
They are easily better than, or at least on par with, NSD, TS, SS, Mob Rules, Born Again, and The Devil You Know. To some, that might not mean much.
And these days, they hold the most replay value for me.

Mob Rules is good and all but The Devil You Know is pretty throw away. I was going to abstain but I might make a list later today.
