SONG SURVIVOR: Mercyful Fate - Melissa, Round 2

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Into the Coven is probably the best track there. But i really dont give a single fuck how this one ends. I'm just waiting to get this and the Manilla Road thread finished up so we can finally move on to bigger and better things.

 

[Phylactery]

I'd like to do a Hell Awaits one or even Reign in Blood. The final round of the later is almost certainly set in stone (and Angel of Death should win), but I'd be interested to see how the songs outside the bookends do. Criminally Insane is the weakest track there for me but gets more difficult from there.

 

[CiG]

I'd still like to do Leprosy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Leprosy and Consuming Impulse are next, followed by a Megadeth album.

Leprosy is next, followed by Consuming Impulse and then a Megadeth album.

Good shit.

 

[Phylactery]

Nice, I have a favourite from Leprosy but not sure how I’d vote in other rounds. And it’ll give me a reason to revisit Consuming Impulse - an album I want to love, but I have only ever really liked it.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Leprosy is probably the most consistently good album that we'll be doing/have done so i'm really looking forward to that one.

 

[CiG]

Are you choosing which Megadeth album or are we?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

KiMB or maybe Peace Sells. Saving Rust in Peace for when we get to the 1990 poll.

 

[Phylactery]

KimB and Peace Sells are my favourites. Rust in Peace has their best song, though.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

As far as those three go...

Rest in Peace > Killing Business > The Peace Sells

 

[CiG]

Rest in Peace

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i also Crimified the other two.

I should change the title of this thread to Melinda

What about So good, So far... Wait, what?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... their most underrated album. I think it's better than Peace Sells.

Underrated indeed. Guess it suffers from the fact that it's a great album sandwiched between two absolutely sensational albums.

It's due to it peaking extraordinarily high early on with none of the following material really matching Into the Lungs of Hell/Set the World Afire. Also, compared to the albums preceding it and the one succeeding it, it kind of falls apart. Especially when compared to some other thrash albums released the same year as it.

Yeah, I totally see what you mean. Although, to be fair, In My Darkest Hour & Hook in Mouth are both genuine highlights of the album, perhaps not as great as the opening stanza, but those songs are at least up to par.

To be fair, Hook in Mouth is one of the better tracks.
