What is your favorite thrash albums?

[no country for old wainds]

oh i forgot about obliveon, might have them in mine actually.

 

[LethalCockSlap]

Dunno about favourites but when I feel like thrash these days I typically reach for stuff like:
Sepultura - Schizophrenia

you know, i used to not like this album, in part because the recording quality is pretty low, however if you've got some nice speakers its an awesome album, for me it still takes a second to beneath the remains though.

You must hate the earliest stuff in that case.

You must hate the earliest stuff in that case.

i didn't say that, and overall recording quality is just one of the things that goes into the quality of the album. It's important to be able to hear everything. There's a pretty huge difference in recording quality for all of the 80's stuff, reign in blood is really good quality, theres grungey basement recordings after that period as well.

 

[CiG]

Well personally I have no issue with the production on Schizophrenia.

Well personally I have no issue with the production on Schizophrenia.

I personally just think its too quiet, which is why i just ordered the CD, cd's tend to have the fullest sounds

 

[CiG]

Oh I see! I've never had that issue with it, I guess I got lucky.

I thought Schizophrenia was Sepultura's worst production too, but check out this unofficial remaster on YouTube. It's an improvement.

i've out-thrashed myself due to this thread...but yes keep listing. I like listening to bands discography, the best exodus album is still bonded by blood in my opinion, but they have a lot of good stuff, even in the 2000's.

 

[Bloopy]

I prefer Pleasures of the Flesh and Impact Is Imminent, but Bonded by Blood ain't bad.

How much time gonna pass before We Have Arrived gets the respect it deserves??

 

[LethalCockSlap]

I prefer Pleasures of the Flesh and Impact Is Imminent, but Bonded by Blood ain't bad.

Pleasures of Flesh is definetly a good album...my only complaint about Exodus is they tend overuse the chugga riffs...those riffs that are just downstrokes of the low string.

For me Bonded by blood is also their best. With speed, melody, memorable songs and decent vocals

 

[OzzyIsDio]

Slayer-Show No Mercy

 

[LethalCockSlap]

This is another gem:

 

[Goodman]

Metallica - Ride the Lightning (1984)

I consider this album to be the standard of thrash metal. And if I make ratings of thrash albums, then without a doubt, this album will always be in the first place for me!
