*kills classic metal*Heh, nothing personnel
>>130230018>Stomp 442An absolute embarrassment. They shouldn’t have released it. >RootsProbably the most divisive metal album of all time. It’s actually good, given the right mindset. >ReLoadLow key the most underrated Metallica album.>Cryptic WritingsMeh. Definitely not the worst Megadeth album.
>>130230018lmao you forgot Diabolus in Musica

>>130230018no one, and i mean no one has listened to that anthrax album. and the only song from the megadeth album people have heard is trust
>>130231737>>130232975I always hated Anthrax but I unironically love Stomp 442, I realize I'm alone in this but its really the type of album Metallica should have (and somewhat tried to) make with Load, but the songs are better, the riffs are better, it never gets stuck in mid paced slop like load, just high tier butt metal (also metallica ripped off fuel from fueled and didn't even have the imagination to change the title)
>>130233085>(also metallica ripped off fuel from fueled and didn't even have the imagination to change the title)making a stretch there. songs sound nothing alike and are completely different lyrically. anthrax's is about personal turmoil, metallica's is all about cars which makes sense given how into them james is
>>130230018Grunge,Nu metal and alternative killed metal (and rock),not these shitty 4 irrelevant albums that flew under the radar and no one gave af about them.
>>130233394Roots is far from irrelevant
>>130230018Stomp 442 bombed HARD. A disaster of an album that finished off Anthrax for good.
>>130230018Good. Classic metal sucked. Only thing that sucks about this is the quality of what took over. I’m glad death metal eventually left thrash’s asshole gaped and bleeding
>>130232926In other words, a great period for Extreme Metal but not such a great era for Heavy, Speed or Thrash Metal. Power Metal albums were solid in the '90s, though.
>Anthrax kick out Joey Belladonna >try to reinvent themselves as a grunge bandYeah, nah
>>130230018>>130231737>>130233486Roots is a good album. Though, I don't think it's as good overall as Chaos AD. I think the reason that Roots is so memorable is because a few of the songs on there are very good, so it drags up the rest of it. Songs like "Roots Bloody Roots" and "Ratamahatta" are REALLY good.I also I kinda think that the album afterwards (pic related) without Max Cavalera is around or nearly as good as Roots. It's more consistent in some ways, but the high points aren't as high as the previous.Though I still find it strange that they put Japanese themes on the album artwork, but only had those Japanese drummers on one song.
>>130230018>>130231737I've only heard 2 songs on Cryptic Writings, but I wouldn't describe those as something that is separate from classic metal. They are less stylistically different from the earlier megadeth stuff though.>>130232975I actually listened to she-wolf before trust. I like it more.
>>130233614all of the big 4 of thrash became wannabe grunge bands in the 90s, it wasn't just anthrax.
>>130231826Is it the worst Slayer album?
>>130232926No mention of virgin steele?
>>130233634Additional hot take, I think the first 2 soulfly albums have a bunch of songs that are slightly better than the average song on roots.
>>130233668>I actually listened to she-wolf before trust. I like it more.WRONG
>>130233728what do you mean wrong?
>>130233684Yes. Without question.
>>130234359it's a tie between that and god hates us all. maybe even repentless, i only could do one listen of that pile of shit.
>>130233601>In other words, a great period for Extreme Metal but not such a great era for Heavy, Speed or Thrash Metal. Power Metal albums were solid in the '90s, though.I hate revivals. Nothing good comes out of them. For me there's no difference; it's all metal (I can think, for example, of Steel Prophet's first album as a great heavy metal record from those years, although I suppose you'd say it's power metal). Until this century, metal had always been in constant evolution. Black Sabbath ceased to be relevant in the eighties, no matter how much they tried to jump on the bandwagon of that era. It didn't matter; new bands took over (NWOBH, thrash, etc.). Metallica and company ceased to be relevant in the nineties. It didn't matter either (the more or less underground scene experienced an explosion of creativity). But that ended during this century, where they began to worship the ashes instead of passing the fire on to new generations. For example, in the nineties, Kreator experimented with their sound but continued to release really great albums like Renewal or Cause for Conflict (despite the lyrics). Even Outcast (Renewal's poor cousin) or Endorama can still be listened to (although Hiring Tommy from Coroner for this is a crime). Now they've been using that fucking Finnish guitarist for a quarter of a century, churning out the same ridiculous melodic garbage for festivals that some people have the nerve to call thrash (while despising their albums from the nineties).

>>130232975The Disintegrators and A Secret Place are goated
I actually love Diabolus in Mvsica. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing.
>>130235681Wrong
For the new generations, this is nu-metal garbage...https://youtu.be/cUf5j8EF5SE?list=RDcUf5j8EF5SE...And this is excellent thrash metal:https://youtu.be/LMyhEuQkOTI?list=RDLMyhEuQkOTINothing more needs to be said...
i like thrash metal and nu metal
>>130235812what kinda nu-metal song has that fast a tempo as in the middle of that slayer song?
>>130238348>what kinda nu-metal song has that fast a tempo as in the middle of that slayer song?Exactly. And yet many say that Diabolus (or GHUA) is nu-metal, when is mostly thrash. More thrash and aggresive than anyting Kreator has released this century.
