The Triumph of Steel is an amazing album.

i'm sure a lot of us feel Master of Puppets is one of the best ever.
..of course, i haven't heard everything metal, so i couldn't say "this and this is the best ever".

..

i like wasting your time with my replies.

 

[ashure]

and I don't understand why people feel like they "have to" put all those classic bands like (Metallica, Manowar, Iron Maiden..etc) in best of lists. I know those bands rule all the way but when you put those in the list, there's no chance for other good ones like Sentenced, In Flames...or whatever...you fill in the blanks. What I mean is classics are always classics and everybody knows that they are great but how about making a difference ..nah I'm talkin' too much right?
