GMD Poll: Exodus's Discography Ranked

#8 Force of Habit (1992)

Average points per vote: 3.38/10

I happen to think that [Impact is Imminent and Force of Habit] are shit. There's nothing original, interesting, inspired, exciting, evocative, or intriguing about them. The only Exodus album that matters for me is Bonded By Blood.

#7 Shovel Headed Kill Machine (2005)

Average points per vote: 3.9/10

Stupid title,stupid album. The only decent thing about it was some of the guitar solos.

Phil Anselmo came up with their album title after doing methadone.

This album rules! You should not hesitate at all to get it. If you like Exodus beyond "Toxic Waltz", they are in top form on this one. SHKM picked up with the heaviness of Tempo and ran with it full force. The new singer (Rob Dukes) is a perfect fit for the band. Plus, their live show is fucking brutal!

#6 Blood in Blood Out (2014)

Average points per vote: 4.4/10

Blood In, Blood Out is reeaaaally good. Especially Collateral Damage.

I got bored with it quick. Zetro's vocals get annoying fast.Good guitar work, though (as usual).

Songs are really good but waaaay too long.

Blood in, Blood Out is good but its just too freaking long. Why do extreme metal bands even bother with albums over an hour long? Very fucking rarely should a metal album be over 45 minutes, imo.

#5 Fabulous Disaster (1989)

Average points per vote: 5.8/10

First place votes: 1 (alex76)

Nice. Fabulous Disaster is really overlooked and has one of the catchiest songs ever on it (Toxic Waltz).

Fabulous Disaster is actually one of my favourite Exodus albums along with Tempo and Bonded... I just dig the whole album more than individual songs just for being so stylistically different to their other stuff.

#4 Impact is Imminent (1990)

Average points per vote: 6.2/10

First place votes: 1 (slammed)

Impact is Imminent has a couple stupid songs but on a whole it's basically on par with the previous Zetro albums. Within the Walls of Chaos and Changing of the Guard are particularly great.

#3 Tempo of the Damned (2004)

***"Their Best Album Since..." Award Winner***

Average points per vote: 6.49

First place votes: 1 (HadesRagnazrath)

anyone else love Tempo of the Damned by Exodus, seriously, its one of the most fun to listen to albums ive heard in a long time. the lyrics are fuckin hilarious and if u dont pump your fist out the car window while your blasting it your just a shithead cause its fuckin great

I'm not surprised, I thought "Tempo of the Damned" was far too fucking full of groove shit as well. It had the title track, Impaler, War is My Shepherd and then a bunch of chugga bullshit.

#2 Pleasures of the Flesh (1987)

Average points pert vote: 7.4/10

First place votes: 2 (Talos of Atmora, Bloopy)

One of the most disappointing metal moments for me was hearing the second Exodus album (Pleasures of the Flesh), after loving Bonded by Blood so much, and the long wait and all that anticipation. I couldn't stand the vocals. Huge disappointment.

#1 Bonded by Blood (1985)

Average points per vote: 9.4/10

First place votes: 10 (HamburgerBoy, Oblivious Maximus, Technical Barbarity, CiG, Dak, Zerostatic, Atomic Tide, Ozzman, Sirjack, CrimsonFloyd)

Exodus is fucking awesome and Bonded By Blood destroys Kill 'Em All.

Bonded By Blood is good, but other than that Exodus suck.

Anyone who doesn't enjoy Bonded by Blood should stop listening to thrash.

Thanks @crimsonfloyd

Surprised to see Tempo so high but then I'm probably just shitty because I didn't win

Surprised Tempo came in so much higher than Shovel. Happy FD didn't come in any higher.
