best metal album ever, post-1980

[Chad]

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
edges out
Dio - Holy Diver
Slayer - Reign in Blood

before you argue...listen to the GODDAMN UNSTOPPABLE RIFFS in beneath the remains. there is not a single PART ON THAT ALBUM WHERE YOU CAN GET BORED. THE SOLOS RULE, THE DRUMS are fucking amazing. the rest lose

[hipster holocaust]

i may be in the minority but i like 'show no mercy' more than 'reign in blood'

[zzzzzzzz]

Slayer Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood is like Hell Awaits with all the long interesting parts cut out, its like a dumbed down remake of a cool horror movie

Show No Mercy shits all over Reign In Blood.

[Chad]

actually, if you ask me, South of Heaven is the best Slayer ever was...still...they were NEVER...NEVER...as good as Beneath the Remains

yeah, theyre a pretty classic version of starting out laying all their cards out on the table and running out of cool ideas quick

This thread will collapse on itself.

[Chad]

no, seriously, Sepultura - Beneath the Remains is one of the best albums ever.

i'm not gonna lie, i prefer arise and schizophrenia over beneath the remains.

Schizophrenia makes a weird sort of sense...but...Arise? what the fuck, man? are you just entranced by the reissue version of Orgasmatron? cause I can't really blame you for that

[altars of radness]

Show No Mercy is the best thing Slayer ever did. They should tour and play that in its entirety.

[Tony Twist]

Why'd you have to go on and give us such a tiny timespan? Everyone knows the most brutal shit is all pre 1980.

[zzzzzzzz]

from 1972, listen to the song Primitive Man and tell me where Electric Wizard got their style from, even the vocals

pre 1980 is an entirely different beast, primarily focused on Sabbath...Vol. 4 is the album that got me born...

When I saw them in October they didn't play a single song from SNM. I would have whipped out my dick and jerked myself to death if they had played Chrionics.

[hipster holocaust]

pfffft. fucking cocksuckers.

[hipster holocaust]

btw while they all kick fucking asses for days the antichrist is my jam

[evildeadone]

Beneath the Remains is Sepultura's best and beats everything Slayer did after Hell Awaits. But the best album ever post-1980 has to be either Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic. The riffs and solos... and Hoglan on drums. The Amott/Steer era of Carcass (Necroticism/Heartwork) comes close too.
