Although you don't like them, I finally picked up Mastodon's
Remission CD. I know I kept saying I'd get it when I tired of each
album, but I kept listening to the new albums until the next one was
released, and just never got to it.
So, playlist the next couple days
Mastodon-Remission
Overkill-Immortalis
Metal Church-This Present Wasteland
Metal for the Masses #8.
Which reminds me, sometime back CM had some promo album for download
that I downloaded and never listened to. Guess I'll try to get to that
as well.
Tom
audiophile
Remission is a fantastic album. My favorite Mastodon cycles between
it, Leviathan and the new one almost daily (pretty much whichever one
I'm listening to at the time).

What an odd year.
A Megadeth release that comes very close to AOTY, a savagely awesome

that just doesn't click for me, and a mainstream rock/metal album that
dominated the last couple months of the year.

I`m amazed Overkill albums have never seen a decent re-issue / remaster
actually. The first album is the only one I actually own on CD.

This year has been a year where I`ve very much re-embraced noisy bastard
music...there`ll be a fair amount of black and death metal in my top 20.
Kreator will definately make my top 5.

Immortalis. I didn't have it. Last I looked the local shop had
Taking Over in stock for around $9. Might look next time I go and see
if they still have it.
This Present Wasteland. I heard the album from a guy I work with,
and decided I liked it enough to buy, well I found it a few weeks
later and have it.

Ok, 2 down and 98 to go. It's a guess I've heard BM 100 times. CTS,

I would have never guess that the AiC album would have garnered so
many plays with you. Kreator had the disadvantage of being first out
of the gate. It did set a high bar that only a few albums topped.

Decapitate is a so so JP song off of Jug. But, what you say makes me
want to hear Dekapitator. Is that the actual spelling for that?

It's a pretty good one. They did release an EP before Feel the Fire,
which is on the latest re-issue of F**k You (and then Some)

You'd have to go farther to not hear them than that.

A few blocks, to the local pub should do.
Soze
Yes...they`ve split up now I believe but made a couple of good albums. More
Euro sounding thrash than American.
Soze
Actually, I`d probably just tell them to get the fuck out!

nice choices, i have all the OK cd's and the first 3 MC.
Dekapitator is worth checking out, kick ass 07(i think) release. i hope
they put out a new cd in 2010.

In moderation. They sound like Emperor but faster and less tuneful.

I`ll always find the production off putting...although it`s more tolerable
via headphones.
>Carcass are still one of the top DM/grind/whatever bands of all time

The 2nd and 3rd albums are godly. Easily the best grindcore band ever...I`d
put Morbid Angel and Death above them in general death metal terms...and
possibly early Deicide, Atheist and Possessed.

Yeah, I like simple one name for bands. It's easier than what some
of the new bands are going with. I know looking over that CM sampler,
they've got a band called Arsonists get all the girls or something
like that. I don't really care for much of what CM has these days. 5
years ago or so, I liked almost all CM releases.
I guess there's always Nuclear Blast.
Nuclear Blast of Death. There's the band name.

Ah, yes, the typical comment. It seems like always the case the
album that makes a band better known is always a lessor album.
(providing they don't break big with the first album.)
Of course, breaking big and DA seems a misplaced qualifier. I don't
think they ever really made it big.
Tom
tom.m...@gmail.com
> the Fye near my house is closing, at least they are staying open inside
> the mall 10-15 minutes from me but UGHHH!!!!
The Fye near my house finally put some stuff on a sale. At a price I
don't mind. CD's $9.99, $11.99 and $12.99. For a lot of them. Which is
miles better than the $17.99, and higher prices they usually have.
Of course if they were to close it would reduce the places where you
can buy new CD's in town to about 4. At least new CD's in a wide
selection.
I keep wondering how the local owned shop is able to keep their
doors open. I guess it may be because they own their building
outright, if they had to pay rent, I sort of doubt they'd be here now.
Of course they are the place I've bought probably 90% of the CD's
and other music platforms I bought over the past 25 plus years.
Tom
audiophile
I wouldn't say that's typical at all.
Most DA fans think Act III is their best, while the diehards say it's
second only to the Ultraviolence.
I just happen to prefer Frolic to Act III by some distance, because I
liked the band best when they were pure manic energy, and Frolic they
had that going in spades.

I didn't mean you, I meant it seems like a lot of people talk about
bands it's always they were good until x album, which is usually 1st,
2nd or 3rd album, and then they turned to crap.

I have heard only one of the two you mention before Act III, not
sure which, it's been a long time.

I know what you meant, and I really won't buy unless it is less than
$15 or so. Because I know most of the record labels I buy stuff from
(CM/NB/MB/CL) are all usually $12.49 at the local shop. Not the local
Fye, the local mom & pop shop.

Unfortunately, yes, there's at least one I haven't heard.

Rectify this now.
The Ultraviolence is one of the best thrash albums of all time.
Frolic through the Park is not far behind, although I am in the
minority with this opinion.

The Ultraviolence is the only one I like. Tom's no longer allowed to like

Unfortunately things go out of print, or can be had on e-bay at a
price no one should have to pay.

Yeah, I don't even know if I heard that one, but if Bomber likes it,
I can't.
As for the new ones I definitely like Killing Season a lot more than
Art of Dying.

I wore out three cassettes of UV and Frolic and bought at least 4-5
copies of the CDs for friends.
They are among my favorite metal records of all time.
The two new albums aren't BAD, per se, but they are like tamed,
restrained shadows of the band's former manic glory. I compare them to
classic DA in the same way that Megadeth fans compare Countdown to
Peace Sells.

I understand this. It's often the case with most bands, the more and
more albums they do, it's harder to top previous works. Of course, PK
surely tilted that rule to the wind.

In a a way Painkiller proves your point as well, because in it's own
way it is untoppable.

Or, in the case of Death Angel, the early stuff gets re-issued cheaply in
mass produced boxsets...
You can buy the remaster boxset of the first 2 DA albums ( including
bonus/live and DVD material ) quite easily and cheaply nowadays.

I just find it surprising that someone into thrash in the 80`s wouldn`t have
heard the first DA album. It was hyped up at the time and quickly recognised
as a classic of the genre.

Yes. Or at the least, I doubt JP will top it. I don't think they
have that kind of fire anymore.

I didn't know it had been re-issued. Perhaps I will buy it sometime
soon. Unlike some, I don't see much for the first several months of
2010 I feel like I need. Overkill and Triptykon are all I see at the
moment.

I have a pretty big collection of Thrash metal albums from the 80's.
I guess some bands I just didn't get into on their first albums.
Either that, the hype I didn't hear of, or see. Or maybe it was just I
was so into the bigger Thrash bands at the time that some of the other
bands didn't get a chance.
So, of course, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus,
Testament, Forbidden, Death Angel, Wrathchild America, Metal Church,
all the albums I had by these bands got a lot of plays. Others like
Dark Angel, Kreator, maybe I like more today than I did then.
