Anyone that doesn't count Exodus among the top 3 most pioneering thrash metal bands (behind Metallica and Slayer) is objectively incorrect. A band like Vio-lence wouldn't even exist without them.

Yes, thanks for telling us they were one of the first thrash bands. But what the fuck does that have to do with them being any good? They're pedestrian garbage for people like you who vote out songs like Kill On Command.
And btw this album is far better than anything exodus have ever done

Title track and TDS here.
One of the most overrated metal bands ever, alongside with Anthrax. Even Bonded by Blood seems mediocre compared with the countless great thrash albums released before and after it.

It's not just a matter of good, it's a matter of influence and innovation. Kill On Command is the most pedestrian song on the album btw. The better halves of the first three Exodus albums blow it away in terms of ambition, let alone quality.

that's because it is. It doesn't even come close to or even belong in the same ballpark as the earlier albums from Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica or any of the other more worthy pioneers of the subgenre. They were just one of the first is all .... and out of all the bands that "started" the thrashing, they were the worst.

retardation once again confirmed. You tend to favor more casual and pedestrian songs so im not really surprised tbh.

Bonded by Blood, when you take into account when it was written and played live rather than when it was released, was far ahead of the curve. The NWOBHM influence all over KEA and SNM is nearly non-existent, the aggression and intensity were unmatched, and the songwriting found in some songs like No Love and Deliver Us to Evil was more complex than what any thrash bands were doing.

who the fuck here was talking about influence? You said they were the "kings" ... i was just pointing out they arent the kings of anything. There is nothing they do that other bands dont do way better. For example Vio-lence does everything on this album better than they do, ten fold... especially gang vocals, which is what you were responding to to begin with before you tried turning this into some kind of "influential" argument.

Zines and whatnot literally referred to Exodus as "kings of the Bay Area". A king is a person that holds sovereignty and influence over a region; Exodus was that king of Bay Area thrash.
Vio-lence (picking only Eternal Nightmare of course; the other two albums are garbage) never had the melodic sense of Exodus, and their riffing palette was a bit narrower though their overall riff density was higher.

i've never heard anyone refer to them as the kings of the bay area. That being said Slayer and Megadeth are not from the bay area. And neither was Metallica when they formed.
Oppressing the Masses is better than anything exodus has ever done too btw. But im pretty sure its another one of those albums that you heard one or two songs on youtube 8 years ago and wrote some retarded single sentence description of it in your sperg journal. Im pretty sure you'll change your opinion once you actually sit there and listen to it. I've noticed thats something youve been doing a lot, having to walk back a lot of your blowing air out of the ass opinions form the past.

I didn't say those bands were from the Bay Area.
I did give Oppressing a recent relisten and it's still a lame mid-tempo chugfest, the same kind of stuff bands like Testament, Overkill, and Heathen were doing around roughly the same time, only without those band's technical/melodic skills. Borderline Anthrax-tier.
What else have I been "walking back" btw? Opinions are always subject to change but I think my tastes have been overall consistent for about a decade, with a few pleasant exceptions/rediscoveries here and there.
