It's been 35 years, why has not a single thrash metal album been able to top it? Even Megadeth's "return to form", The System Has Failed, isn't nearly as good as this masterpiece
>>128344413For the albums that are labeled as "thrash" according to RYM (some might've been released a bit before RIP):>All better than Rust In Peace:Reign In Blood, The Ultra-Violence, Tortured Existence, Epidemic of Violence, Schizophrenia>All on par or better than Rust In Peace:Bathory, Deathrace King, Darkness Descends, Time Is Up, Pleasure to Kill, I Was Watching My Death, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, Hazardous Mutation, The Art of Partying, Game Over, Handle With Care, Ritually Abused, Nightmare Logic, Opening Fire: 2008-2014, Brasil, Rigor Mortis, Agent Orange, Black FutureYou're welcome
>>128344413check out Artillery - By Inheritance>>128344498you need to be 18+ to post here
>>128344498You're just proving that posers are retarded
>>128344538By Inheritance has gay falsetto vocals that ruin the whole album
>>128344541You haven't posted a single album. Who's the poser here?
>>128344544anon, OP is a Megadeth fan
>>128344566Rust In Peace vocals have a screechy nasally quality to them, so I wouldn't say it's in the same vein, despite them also being high-pitched
>>128344554If you want me to post an album better than RiP then I can't because it doesn't exist
>>128344599Megadeth fans being immune to bad vocals is an ancient meme
>>128344610Then you need to listen to more metal. It's very curious that someone who's supposedly intimately familiar with the genre would find one of the "entry" albums to be the best and unsurpassed. Or you just have a very basic taste.
>>128344538Knew a redditfag neckbeard pseudointellectual who said that he strictly listens to classical music and Artillery, and he said that Back In The Trash was his fav song by them, soon as the vocals kicked in i couldnt listen to it for more than 5 seconds. Absolutely dogshit band with dogshit vocals and dogshit lyrics.
>>128344636Entry and best aren't mutually exclusive. Listening to metal isn't some practice where you abandon "beginner" albums for more lesser-known stuff. Obviously you are going to find your preference and learn how to appreciate the genre more, but this also just makes you realize how good RiP is. It's entry for a good reason, Metallica being popular doesn't make their first four albums any less good, you have to be super hard-pressed to find a metal fan who doesn't think Master of Puppets is an amazing album.
>>128344778Nothing you said refutes my allegations. By claiming that among all those other records you've supposedly listened to you found nothing that happens to appeal to you specifically more, then you're just confirming you have a basic taste. That's okay.
>>128344882Nigga using RYM as gospel calling anyone basic
>>128344914Genres are a nebulous concept, so RYM was used for the purpose of selecting records that are by some consensus considered to fall under the thrash label. I can use something else, if using RYM to that end is this emotionally upsetting to you.
>>128344930I get it, you were forced to use RYM because you don't know anything about metal or RiP
>>128344413>why has not a single thrash metal album been able to top it? Step aside, kid
>>128344954I explained to you the purpose. If you're too upset about the word RYM to engage with what's being said, then pretend it's not there, and everything I said stands. I'm not making any references to RYM with respect to its consensus on quality, merely to their genre cataloguing practices. Not with some acknowledgement of their superiority compared to other cataloguing practices, just with the acknowledgement that genres are arbitrary and rely on consensus, and it's one of such consensuses you can find online, so it might as well do for the purpose of this discussion.
Megadiaper sucks cock
>>128344996This is like the 3rd time you moved the goalpost btw
>>128344413https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=claASJCPy28This album kicks it's ass chump
>>128345035If this is your idea of substanceless rhetoric, then you're really bad at it.
>>128344413endgame is decent
>>128344413Its pretty mid album
The only guy I knew who liked Megadeth was a fat sperg and his band played Symphony of Destruction at our high school talent show to complete silence. It was one of the gayest things I've ever witnessed.
>>128345454you sound like a kid from a tiny town like napoleon dynamite
>>128345494You hit the nail on the head. Come from an extremely small town in the middle of nowhere.
i remember when i was 18, listening to rip for the first time, i thought it was the peak of musicianship, at least on the metal spectrum, i was such a huge megadave fan. but as the years passed i dipped into the underground and found hidden gems that completely changed my perception.nowadays i consider peace sells the superior album, definitely on my top 50 thrash list. just a few albums from the top of my head that completely obliterate megadeth on terms of musicianship and technicalityDeathrow - Deception IgnoredSeiges Even - LifecycleHelstar - NosferatuTarget - Master Project GenesisCoroner - No More ColorObliveon - From This Day Forward
>>128344413By the time this came out thrash was already on it's last legs and death metal was taking over
I don't know OP. It's literally a perfect record, all the songs are amazing in all aspects. I'll listen to the stuff posted on this thread as well to expand my knowledge of the genre.
