=5) Blessed Are the Sick by Morbid Angel
Born again in blasphemy...
"It was my favourite for years but I lean towards Formulas these days." - @Slayed Necros
"I can't really think of anything that sounds like Blessed are the Sick from that time period. The album is very cohesive and I've always found it to work incredibly well as an album experience - the track ordering and the pacing is pretty much perfect. It's quite a large change in direction from Altars, more mature and more varied in its tempos and lyrical content. What it lacks in the youthful energy it more than makes up for in its artfulness imo." - @Phylactery
"Blessed are the Sick is pretty overrated tbh. I came upon one of the songs from it on shuffle (I like to play a guessing game since I've downloaded a lot of stuff I've forgotten about) and literally thought it was a Kreator song. It's far from the massive breakthrough it's heralded as, and the Burns production is shit." - @HamburgerBoy
"If Blessed Are the Sick had a more vital, punchy production or even a more black metal style necro/cold production, I would hail it as an absolute masterpiece. The compositions are fucking fantastic. They also re-recorded three tracks from Abominations of Desolation which I really appreciate as that is, while definitely flawed, my favourite Morbid Angel recording." - @CASSETTEISGOD
"Blessed are the sick is Morbid Angel showing the rest of the world how to make a death metal album." - @Sirjack

=5) War Master by Bolt Thrower
You shall obey all that he commands...
"Bolt Thrower 'war master' & 'realm of chaos' is real drinking music." - @CF87
"Trying to decide which Bolt Thrower is best is like trying to decide which Italian dish is best. You think of a good one and then you remember 4 other good ones and then you just go "............" and shut down and explode.
For Victory is so fugging good though, but I always seem to get caught up in the Godliness of Realm Of Chaos and War Master. Then I remember that Mercenary has some of their finest riffs ever and it starts all over again!" - @CASSETTEISGOD
"Got to be Realm of Chaos with IVth Crusade a close second. War master is great but it aint those gems imo" - @Sirjack
"War Master was always my go to." - @Satanstoenail
"War Master > Realm of Chaos" - @The Ozzman
"Realm of Chaos is a close second for me. I used to prefer War Master but it's definitely not as consistent. The former sounds like a merciless onslaught throughout, while the latter has some of the band's finest moments, but occasionally stagnates while the band takes prisoners (psh)." - @Manic Ferocity
