Best speed metal album of all time

Album Rating: 4.5

Up there for sure. If you consider Rust in Peace speed metal, it's my number 1. Then a couple of Blind Guardians and then this one. But the fine line between speed/thrash/power is so thin.

true, speed metal it's basically the same genre with your standard "heavy metal" but with faster choruses and more "chaotic" instrumentation

I would say thrash is more aggressive and less melodic though

I have never understand the term speed metal. There are bands outside the tag that are faster. I'd presume its used more to describe an era.

I've only heard it being attributed to NWBHM bands

"I have never understand the term speed metal"



me neither, that's why i believe it's basically "heavy metal" only with faster choruses and more "chaotic" instrumentation

I think speed metal has been attributed to bands from Motorhead and Venom to Running Wild and Blind Guardian. The differences between speed and thrash have to be the vocals and that speed is more melodic (as John mentioned). Now when it comes to speed and power, power metal is more bombastic, has a bit more flair and layers to it (some call it cheese). But again the line is so thin, that early Helloween (Walls of Jericho) for example, is speed metal while the two Keys are more on the power side. A typical example of speed metal that comes to my mind has to be Agent Steel whereas for more modern stuff, I'd say Ranger or Midnight.



tl;dr good music is good music

According to wikipedia the japanese neoclassical/power metal scene stuff could be considered speed metal.

One of the greatest albums of the 1980s, and perhaps one of the greatest of all time.
