While we are praising the best albums of the decade on a different thread we
might as well hand a big pile of dung award for the worst Death/Thrash
albums of the past decade. There has been A LOT of shit released over the
past few years but ones that come to mind are:

1. Everything by Deicide
2. Destroyer 666 "Violence Is The Prince Of This World"
3. Most of Broken Hope's releases


The list is endless...

EXACTLY! But it starts with:

Iron Maiden - X-Factor


and ends with


Iron Maiden - Virtual XI


Quite possibly THE worst albums in the history of heavy metal.

Granted they wern't Maiden's best release's but they ain't that bad. Com'n
now worst ever of all the heavy metal ever released? Your talking nearly 30
years of metal. At least they are melodic and music and you can understand
the words. The list is endless of all the metal bands in recent times who
you can't decifer any lyrics and has virtually no variance in the playing.
How many times did you listen to them? Once? and then formulated your
opinion. Go back and listen to them again. They do grow on you!

Ummm...Where the fuck did this get crossposted to? That is the all-time
stupidest reasoning for liking an album I have ever heard. Maiden has sucked
since Somewhere in Time anyways.

Man, that list is to big to list. I'm guessing you want metal albums, so
I won't put anything by MC Hammer on the list.

1.)Any 90's MEtallica
2.)Any Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock
3.)Any Marylin Manson
4.)Serpents of the Light by Deicide
5.)Discouraged Ones by Katatonia
6.)Daudi Bladrs by Burzum
7.)Reunion by Black Sabbath
8.)Any Monster Magnet
9.)Great Southern Trendkill by Pantera
10.)Vovin and Crowning of Atlantis by Therion

I can't understand that... it's basically 'hey hey let's do reign in
blood again, but this time fuck it up bad'. Despite some reasonably good
tracks,the record blows pretty hard, but not as bad as

I find the drumming quite lame on DI and compare the drumming on DI to
earlier slayer or testaments The gathering, I think Dave is a lot
better.

I thought you were only putting metal albums on the list? Kid Rock??

Both of these are "okay" albums. Nothing phenomenal but hardly from the
10 worst of the decade. "Serpents.." is good BBQ music. >:)

("The Death of Bladders"?? I think you mean "Daudi Baldrs" ;)))

This is a brilliant album IMHO. I was listening to it just the other
night actually for the first time in awhile. I think it's far better than
the new one, to be honest, some of the melody lines are just really
entrancing.

Why?

Anyway....

Impaled Nazarene's - Latex Cult is by the far the worst I ever bought.


Two of the best:
Carcass - Necroticism
Death - Individual though patterns.

Thats in my opinion of course.

Limbonic Art- Moon in the Scorpio
Slayer - Diabolus in Musica
Paradise Lost- 1 second
Kataklysm - Victims...
The Linear Scaffold (forgot the band)


Among 10000 others I forget.

Paul Bostaph. he has more "feel" to him on this album. he's actually
involved, instead of being the backbone. but Lombardo is more
refined.

as well as I. this was the epitome of his composing, i think. that,
and it's really brutal. :)
course, it didn't hurt that his band line-up for this was probably the
best he's had on any Death album.

it _was_better. the new one seems to lack the punch. it's trying to
be melancholy as hell, but it doesn't sound sincere, IMO.

I only own Sorcery....and admittedly was not very impressed with it on first
couple of listens. Since then, it has grown on me immensely. The
songwriting is a little more "hook" riff-oriented than typical chromatic DM
(see: Therion), but has enough depth and conviction/charisma to hold
interest for quite some time, it seems.

Therion: what happens when you cross Possessed and Celtic Frost in the
extremely active mind of an intelligent 17-year-old. Everything up to
and including "Symphony Masses" is great.

For Kataklysm, "Mystical Gate..." is my personal favorite. Seems to
define them the most. They are _highly_ Iron Maiden-influenced to my
ears.

SLayer is an aging band, sad to say though that i agree 110% that their
old albums are unbeatable. Just look at "GateWay To Hell" and "Straight
To HEll". Both pays tribute to the grp with mostly old songs. That goes
to show how Slayer has been a leader in Metal in the past. I really hope
that they will release something really gd next before Tom retires from
the scene. He's already 38 !!!
How about Reign In Blood 2 ?
I'm disappointed with the albums Undisputed Attitude and later....

But i still think the most fucked-up, screwed up... and the biggest
mistake ever made in metal this yr is the release of
"RISK" by Megadeth. Can anyone tell me since when they turned from
MEtal to rock. THey shouldn't be even classified as a Metal grp judging
from Risk !?!!? I think they are a disgrace to Metal, especially when
standing side by side with Slayer.

near the top of the "must hear really really soon" list. i can't
believe it's taken this long.

i think i saw something concerning "Orb" used, and then there's the
live hyperblast thing. if only i could spend my days simply searching
out albums...

I've got to agree. Dreaming is great, but isn't as good as politics. But I

think we are getting a little spoiled here. Dreaming was much better than

a lot of (perhaps even most) stuff released this decade. Politics is just

one of my personal all time great albums. Dreaming sound great live, tho.
