Yeah, but since they were listed, the choice became a no brainer right?

Rust in Peace is the best album in that 'thrash' category.

Nightside Eclipse is the best album in that 'black' category.

Individual Thought Patterns is the best album in the 'death' category.

Rust in Peace is the best album from ANY of those bands.

I'm stating the obvious, I know.

as much as I love you, I can't believe how much I disagree with every single thing you say here

Suffocation , while not my cup of tea are totally underrated. They almost created Brutal-Death.

Seriously, how can some of you guys place dumb-as-fuck Cannical Corpse over acts like Deicide and Suffocation?

Dude

Have you heard "Butchered At Birth"? I agree that Suffocation pwns CC, but Deicide has only released 1.5 decent albums. Corpse's old shit is pretty damn good imo, plus some of their new shit isn't half bad either.
 
So did Deicide really hit the crapper after those ones? I've only heard those and a couple of tracks from "Serpents of the Light" or something. Sounded kinda singa-long-ish maybe...
 
I have never bothered to check out the others, except their 2004 effort "Scars Of The Crucifix" (which is alright). Almost everyone claims that their other releases are the suckage, though (except "Once Upon The Cross", which is supposed to be pretty good).
