Megadeth vs Metallica

[Vegard Pompey]

KEA > KIMB
RTL > Peace Sells
MOP > SFSGSW
RIP > AJFA
CTE > The Black Album
Youthanasia > Load

Tried to do something like this but half the comparisons ended up being unfair to one band to the point of meaninglessness. So I'll just rank the first four albums by both bands in order of preference:

Rust in Peace
Ride the Lightning
Killing is My Business
Peace Sells
And Justice for All
Master of Puppets
Kill 'Em All
SFSGSW

Assigning each album points based on its position, that's 20 points for Megadeth and 16 for Metallica.

Addendum: Mechanix >>>>>>>> The Four Horsemen

Interesting, mine would be:

Ride The Lightning
Kill 'Em All = Peace Sells...
Killing Is My Business...
Master Of Puppets
So Far So Good...
And Justice For All
Rust In Peace

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Whoa, RiP last? Pretty surprising considering how aligned we usually are.

 

[Phylactery]

Addendum: Mechanix >>>>>>>> The Four Horsemen

I knew I couldn't be the only one here with this opinion! As I said on the first page, lyrics aside it is easily better.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It's got nothing to do with the lyrics for me. I just find The Four Horsemen incredibly lethargic and boring by comparison.

Whoa, RiP last? Pretty surprising considering how aligned we usually are.

I despise the production on Rust In Peace, also I think it's easily his shittest vocal performance of the first four.

Every post-Risk Megadeth album is better than anything Metallica released after Black Album. Also, Youthanasia > Black Album

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Lulu is better than The World Needs a Hero.

 

[EspaDa]

Haha, both are shitty albums but Lulu is an ultimate shite.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dystopia alone is better than anything Metallica released after the self titled

Lulu is better than The World Needs a Hero.

I haven't heard Lulu and I already know you're full of shit

 

[MrTagoMago]

I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski
In the dark of the moon

 

[The Ozzman]

When did this become the quasi haiku thread?

When did this become the quasi haiku thread?

You said you haven't heard Lulu. That's literally the first line from the first track on the album.

 

[Satanstoenail]

RtL=MoP
AJFA=RiP
PSBWB
KEA
SFSGSW
KIMB

 

[MrTagoMago]

Killing Technology > Any album by Metallica or Megadeth

Except Voivod is overrated as fuck

 

[MrTagoMago]

Except Voivod is overrated as fuck

No that would be Metallica and Megadeth as well as Slayer and Anthrax. Voivod in comparison have been a much more innovative and creative group yet still manage a relitively consistent discography. While much of their work is more of an aquire taste most of their albums are of brilliant execution and quality.
