your top thrash albums?

[O'blivion]

I'm generally not into thrash, but these albums do it for me:

Testament - The Gathering

Nevermore - The Politics of Ecstasy

The Haunted Made Me Do It

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Not exactly thrash.

 

[O'blivion]

This what I would call ideal thrash. I know Nevermore and The Haunted aren't thrash bands per se, but those albums have the core elements of thrash. They're a lot better than anything that came out in the thrash heyday (the 80's,) IMO.

so.........answer the question..........or risk facing the wrath of midget named dave with severe gingivitis, trained in the master art of sharp pointy aluminum rod wielding. idle threats are fun. . .

Forbidden - the first 3, but especially "Twisted Into Form"
Testament - the first 4
Defiance - "Void Terra Firma" and "Beyond Recognition"
Sadus - all but the first one
Megadeth - the first 4
Anthrax - most of 'em
Antithesis - both
Vio-Lence - "Oppressing the Masses"
Sacred Reich - the first 3
Flotsam and Jetsam - the first 3 (weren't really thrash after that, but I still like 'em a lot)
Metallica - through AJFA (if you consider them thrash, which is debatable)
Pantera - "Cowboys From Hell"

alright, I could keep going but I'm getting tired. That covers a lot of the greats.

Nevermore - The Politics of Ecstasy

THE FIRST SONG OF IT, IS A STRONG THRASH NUMBER, IS IT OLD SCHOOL, ONLY THE GUYS WILL TELL....

"Ascension to Destiny"

BUT MY FAVOUITES ARE ANYTHING BY EARLY KREATOR
OR
1987--Schizophrenia = sepultra

It's a funny thing... I found most thrash overrated until my latter days. Seriously, all the albums that get people excited bored the shit out of me, until recently. Here's my shit, mock freely.

Death Angel- Episode III
Anthrax- Among the Living
Vio-lence- Opressing the Masses
Destruction- pretty much everything with Schmier
Mayhem- Deathcrush
Possessed- Seven Churches
Celtic Frost- Morbid Tales
Slayer- Reign In Blood
Exodus- Bonded By Blood
The Haunted- S/T
Megadeth- Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?



I'm not a huge thrash fan, but this shit rocks.

Metal rules.

Jimbo *very drunk*

 

[TheEmperor]

DEW-SCENTED - INWARDS

 

[DoAsISayNotAsIDo]

metallica - master of puppets ,ride the lightning(master of puppets is best!!!!)
megadeth -rust in peace
kreator - extreme agression
slayer - seasons in the abyss,reign in blood
overkill - from the underground and below

 

[jimbobhickville]

How the hell did I forget Annihilator and Overkill? D'oh!!

 

[speed]

Megadeth - Rust in Peace is still the best and most complex thrash i've heard, and Peace Sells is just a little bit behind.

Testament The Legacy bad production though, still kicks ass

Carnal Forge is pretty fucking good too, i guess they are more melodic death though

 

[Trench]

1. Megadeth - All up until Cowntdown
2. Slayer - All
3. Invocator - Excursion Demise
4. Testament - All except Demonic
5. Kreator - All up to Coma of Souls
6. Susperia - Predominance
7. Death Angel - The Ultra Violence

 

[Psycho]

These aren't exactly the TOP albums, but a few I consider to be the god albums of thrash... and they're not in any order.

Vendetta - Go And Live... Stay And Die!
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
Overkill - The Years Of Decay
Sodom - Persecution Mania
Kreator - Coma Of Souls
Metal Church - The Dark
Destruction - Release From Agony
Testament - Practice What You Preach
Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What!
The Haunted - The Haunted Made Me Do It

 

[mgp]

Jimbo - wasn't it called ACT III? Death Angel were cool.

 

[Dragonlord]

yep it was called act iii...fuckin great album.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Rip is awesome... but it isn't thrash. It's heavy-metal, maybe even classable as a little bit proggy, like ...And Justice For All.

Megadeth and Metallica were thrash bands, but neither RIP or AJFA are thrash records, they are heavier and more intelligent than thrash.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Voivod-Dimension Hatross
The first two slayer albums
Coroner-Mental Vortex
Coroner-Grin
Mekong Delta-Visions Fugitives

 

[jimbobhickville]

heavier and more intelligent than thrash? RIP wasn't really very heavy at all, and it was pure thrash. AJFA I can agree wasn't very thrashy. Besides, Forbidden and Testament are both really heavy and intelligent and are thrash, so what the hell does that statement even mean?
