So crimsonfloyd, when I list this shit for you, should I include significant EPs/Demos/Comps? Cuz that determines if Slayer, Beherit, etc. even make the cut for 5 worthy releases.
I should clarify one thing for all of you who are currently down on me and my opinions regarding words like "worthy". I am not trying to be elitest here, but rather, I simply have higher standards than most today for my music in that I would much rather have a few albums with intimate connections than a shit-ton of albums that are merely "cool" or "kickass" or "br00tal". I have heard tens of thousands of metal songs, like most of you, but my current collection only has about 4000 songs in the metal genre. I tend to see a larger collection as a roadblock to developing intimate connections with the best of the genre. So, a reminder to you all: "unworthy" is not synonymous with "sounds bad" but rather signifies that an album is simply unworthy of devoting dozens of listens to for the sake of a deeper meaning.
Here's what I can think of right now. Bands with 5 worthy FULL-LENGTHS only.
Bathory
1. Blood Fire Death
2. Under The Sign Of The Black Mark
3. The Return......
4. Bathory
5. Hammerheart
Black Sabbath
1. Vol. 4
2. Master Of Reality
3. Black Sabbath
4. Paranoid
5. Heaven & Hell
Burzum
1. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
2. Filosofem
3. Burzum
4. Det Som En Gang Var
5. Hliðskjálf
Darkthrone
1. Under A Funeral Moon
2. A Blaze In The Northern Sky
3. Soulside Journey
4. Panzerfaust
5. Transilvanian Hunger
Summoning
1. Dol Guldur
2. Minas Morgul
3. Oath Bound
4. Stronghold
5. Old Mornings Dawn
Those five definitely make it. Coroner's 5 albums are all good and they should make it, but I'm not sure how to order them right now. As for Graveland, their inclusion would depend on me deciding on the worthiness of Following The Voice Of Blood, but I definitely love 4 of their albums besides that. Slayer ofc has one of the best runs in history but I'm not a big fan of Seasons so I'd probably only be able to honestly include them with Haunting The Chapel. Oh and Immolation/Manilla Roadsurely have 5 masterful albums in their styles, but their middle-grade albums tend to wear on me towards the end, so they'd only make it on a good day
Oh, and if I find another worthy Voivod album after Nothingface, I suppose they could make it.

It's your call. For the most part I haven't (did for Swans and probably would for Slayer as well), but other people have.

Formulas is superior. The lyrics are something else too..really special.
"The gift of flesh
Was in fact life's curse
Although born one in the same
In Spirit, but the flesh all too coarse"
Trey's solos are really beautiful and abstract. Based off of interviews I've read, he's very spiritual when it comes to his playing, like Steve Vai. He goes into hallucinogenic places without the use of drugs. The guy is a genius.
Pete recorded some next level shit drum tracks for the time. Even by the standards of today, the drumming is pretty insane. Steve Tucker's performance is solid for his first album with them. I don't mind his vocals. They're a bit generic. I prefer Vincent's from Altars to Covenant. He is definitely a good bass player, though. Technically speaking, it's MA's most complex.
Heavy seven string sludge riff-age.
Starts very fast and brutal and ends very beautifully.
Classic Morbid Angel. Aggressive and fast.
Overall, 10/10 classic album. Underrated as fuck.

Pretty much their worst album, even if some of their 90's punk-oriented stuff is a little less listenable. Whenever some black metal listening wimp goes on about thrash's inherent lack of creative breadth or whatever, you know it's because he got to Agent Orange and Arise and stopped digging there.

Really? That's easily my favourite of theirs - it's got such great production, very tight musically, and has one of their best riff sections in "Tired and Red".
I was gonna say Extreme Aggression is my favourite Kreator album too - obviously different tastes!
