I felt the same way at first, but then realized I was listening to the 2004 remasters. I thought it was great but okay, THIS is the album with a 4.6??? so I checked the original mix out and theeennnn it all started to make sense. I still agree it's not the peak of thrash tho, still one of metal's best

I mean just listen to Holy Wars man lol, the rest of the album could be a steaming pile of dogshit and we’d still be singing its praises.



I think honestly if there is one big complaint with the record is that it peaks so early. Holy Wars is their best song and Hangar 18 is one of the best here too. I love tracks like Lucretia, Take No Prisoners, and Poison Was The Cure but they just don’t even compare. Tornado of Souls is really the only later-album cut that stands up with those first two imo.

I mean maybe it’s cause I’m not really a huge thrash guy but this is definitely my favorite from that era, tho Justice isn’t far behind…

I'd take RTL and AJFA over this, probably demolition hammer's epidemic of violence and toxik's think this too. it's a toss up at that point.

Yeah holy wars is a super high note to start the album and it never really tops it. It's not bad at it it rules I just think there are a lot of better thrash albums and countless better albums if we're talking metal/extreme metal in general



And i didn't hear this first yesterday lol been jamming it for probably 25 years

you've always not liked mustaine's vocals though right? i love them especially on this. think that's the difference. like if you thought the vocals were really good it would push it up further right? songwriting, riffs and technicality are all pretty impeccable.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying people shouldn't love this. They do and should, I just dont think it should be the highest rated metal album on sput

totally just meant i am curious if this had a more traditional thrash vocal performance if it would bump it up into that kind of all time status to you

Im not sure that it would sound "better" per se with anyone else's vox I just can't stand the guy's voice

I kinda secretly don't like thrash vox in general, which is probably why I hold Sadus and Obliveon in such high regard cuz their vox are closer to death growls

interesting but yeah i feel that as well. usually they are just serviceable to me. not a vocal style i gravitate towards. do love hetfield though, he stands out.

I think Dave sounds perfect here for what they were going for, but ya he’s a big reason why I generally prefer Metallica aside from this record

i actually think the reason i dig his vocals is because they are so abnormal and off kilter for thrash. only he sounds like him.

Always loved Hangar 18 and Take No Prisoners. Also Lucretia is one of Dave’s coolest guitar parts he’s ever written imo
