Trve rvles of UM rating games:

1. No album can be first that isn't within the first 3 releases of a discography.

did you intend to post this in a thread where a band's 5th album came first

A Dak posts things precisely when he means to.

Trve rvles of UM rating games:

1. No album can be first that isn't within the first 3 releases of a discography.
2. Everything Metallica did after AJFA sucks.
3. The only black metal that sucks is IT FUCKING DOESN'T.
4. Breakdowns are an automatic disqualifier.
5. Judas Priest is better than Iron Maiden because of one album.
6. Thrash made after the 80s is just a sad imitation.
7. Chuck Schuldiner didn't get cancer soon enough.
8. Covers should never be done and always suck.

Nice "I got my feelings hurt on GMD so now I'm making generalizations" starter pack.

BNW and The Final Frontier are easily the best of their reunion albums, not worth making a big deal over which of the two are better. The only important thing is in realizing that Killers and Piece of Mind are masterpieces of the metal artform and if neither makes your top 3 or so, you should go back to your Agalloch albums.

Half of PoM is filler, the other half is epic. I don't think you can just ignore the filler to make your statement.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

There isn't one second of non-epic filler Piece of Mind.

 

[CiG]

Your list is fucking gay.

A favorite rule of both yours and mine, as we've demonstrated many times.

In your opinion?

i think i'd struggle to count the '80s albums with less filler on one hand. pretty much as close to a model of consistency as you're gonna get.

 

[CiG]

What filler?

Random observation: Somewhere in Time didn't make the top 10 of the 1986 list, but Seventh Son made the top ten on the 1988 list; yet, Somewhere in Time finished two spots higher than Seventh Son on this list.

 

[no country for old wainds]

SOMEWHERE IN TIME was only about 10 points away from 5th though, whereas SEVENTH SON... was 23 away from 8th

 

[CiG]

It's so much better than Seventh Son of a Seventh Son too.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

It's so much better than Seventh Son of a Seventh Son too.

If by "so much better than" you mean "not even close to" then I agree.

 

[EspaDa]

Both are great albums. Piece of Mind is better than both of them.
