Themed Mixtape Game

[Phylactery]

The supposed in-crowd on this forum consider the first 3 Slayer albums to be on a par. So no it isn't. It's also sufficiently different in its atmosphere and song structuring from other Slayer albums that it's not difficult to see how it could be someone's favourite release from the band.

Hell Awaits and RIB were voted as top Slayer albums on this board, so yes it is. Both are good but not phenomenal and shouldn't be considered classic albums. Complete in crowd choices for people who don't like thrash (which is most people here)

It's your prerogative to rate like a little baby if you think your favorites aren't represented properly. Just don't try to act like thrash doesn't win a lot.

I'd also like to meet the legion of people who love Slayer but hate all other thrash metal. What are their usernames?

I never said I would, I'm calling out the little babies.

Not literally all other thrash metal, but most. They make concessions for the occasional Sabbat, Holy Terror, etc as well.

Hell Awaits > Trump

Cool. Many people throughout the world, not just on this site, don't agree with you.

I'd still love to see this apparently large list of usernames. If you can't tell me who they are, then I'll have to assume that you're exaggerating.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

crimsonfloyd, Yoda, and Mort are all thrash-sensitive I'm pretty sure.

 

[Phylactery]

Of course he's exaggerating. He didn't even mention Destruction in his list of concessions, which is one of the most popular thrash bands here. But they're also one of his favourites.

This may sound totally lame, but what is a thrash band exactly? what would qualify any band as a thrash band?

Only one of those people seems to really be active in this game since I've been here, so I'm not sure where you're coming from.

Aside from myself I don't know anyone on this forum that considers Destruction to be a favorite (though in fairness, when I submitted Confused Mind it had a strong second-place showing behind just Beyond the Realms of Death).

 

[Phylactery]

I don't know if anyone considers them their absolute favourite thrash band, but I've seen lots of love for their early stuff. They're personally my second favourite after Slayer.

I would have to agree with Phylactery that Destruction is my number two thrash band behind Slayer. It's time to bust out their music over the three-day weekend, as I don't work on Friday because of the holiday.

A band that plays thrash metal.

Destruction is more in crowd than Slayer. We all know Sodom and Kreator are better anyway

 

[CiG]

I fucking agree. Love some Destruction but Sodom and Kreator are magic to my rotten ears.

 

[The Ozzman]

Cool. Many people throughout the world, not just on this site, don't agree with you.

That's fine. Many people throughout the world, not just on this site, are also wrong

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Thrash is boring.

 

[The Ozzman]

Because it's above 120 bpm

 

[CiG]

I love all the main subgenres.

Thrash is boring.

Do you like Slayer a lot despite having this opinion? You were specifically accused of this earlier in the conversation. I just want to know if it's true.
