Who voted for "rap metal"? the only song on RiB that *could* be classified as that would be the beginning of "Criminally insane" (opening drumbeat plus Tom's bouncy "night will come and i will follow" delivery), that, or the fact that it's on DEF JAM... :lol: i can cer...

CitA: what more can be said? all of the superlatives in the universe still can't do this masterpiece justice; to me it's just as flawless as the debut MAIDEN, Brian Ross's vocals are transcending and classy, no pretenders to the throne can usurp this guy.. BLIND FURY: i actually just picked this up ...

yeah, 'fistful' was a total fluke...along w/ side 2 of STD it's the only ANTHRAX i can stomach...

even the middle period ('grave new world/massacre divine')

as much as i love SAXON, somebody else nailed it; very basic songs w/ no gimmicks will usually result in a smaller yet devoted cult. i think SAXON's other problem is similar to ANVIL's: too many damn songs and product, resulting in quantity over quality. that said, i'll always worship their first fi...

MESSIAH seconded, first two Lps are immortal...

not speed/thrash, but MORDOR rule, fi yr into blackened doom...

i'll admit i was let-down by 'natural order' when i first heard it, it totally grew on me later on...not the first thing i'd recommend to folks wanting top-shelf thrashmetal, but still good in a BayArea way...but yeah, the early stuff crushes it, easily...

they have a new album?! oh boy......

any news on whether the demos are getting an official release? other than the EP, i still haven't heard these cats, and i'm dying to!! i know the band are selling cd copies of a couple of demos; worth paying $20?

off-topic, but i think HELLBASTARD's metal album on Earache is very underrated, great catchy thrash riffage; just a different beast from the godly crust years...

did anyone mention '2 min to midnight' b/w 'curse of the pharoahs' already?

haha, what's funny is Wino's stolen the main riff from SAB's 'all moving parts' on more than one occasion

holy shite, you mean i'm not the only one who noticed?!

the opening drums of YTMU was possibly the first D-beat ever..

cheers for the help; it figures something would get fukked, but at least the MFH tracklist is fine...i guess 'witches' was so good they had to place it twice! i'm not gonna hold my breath finding the Lp version, haha..
