When it comes to Megadeth, I think that Countdown, Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings were all stellar albums and are totally under appreciated. Great stuff as always buddy!🤘
Point Of Entry definitely has some great tracks. The album starts with a couple of great straight forward rockers, ”Heading out” and ”Hot rockin’”. After that it gets even better with ”Turning Circles”, ”Desert Plains” and ”Solar Angels”. Some fillers after that, but ”All the way” is fun! There isn’t a weak track on Countdown To Extinction, it’s a masterpiece like its predecessor in my opinion. Take care Darcy🤘
Bonded are former members of Sodom. They have 2 albums with Century media 2020, 2021. The first one features Blitz! Headhunter is Schmier (Destruction) and Jörg Michael! They have 4 super power-thrash albums. 1990, 1992, 1994 and a short reunion in 2008. It was released in 2008 by AFM records. Gomorra is a brand new band led by Damir (Destruction). Classic power. They have 2 albums 2020, 2022.
Good topic Darcy. And some good examples of some very good albums that kept the bands momentum going. Priest was one that came to mind straight away for a big drop off, like you say it has some good songs on it, but overall it's not as strong as what came before it or after it. Saxon has a good one with wheels, strong arm, denim and leather and I think power and the glory is up there with those releases. I think this topic probably could have a second part to it if you have enough albums.
I'm with you on Countdown To Extinction, State of Euphoria and Point Of Entry, I think all 3 get a bit overlooked. Not as good as what came before them, but definitely not bad albums. Cheers mate
Love to see genuine metal people bucking the trend and not following the sheep and actually liking and even loving some follow up albums that are generally regarded by the masses as weak, rushed or just suck. I like most of your choices but I’m not familiar with the ST and CoC albums that you mentioned. Great video mate
I was thinking of featuring some Slayer in this episode, Reign In Blood to South Of Heaven. I know a few folks that don’t like Slayer slowed down like that, but I love it! Thanks for the kind words brother 🤘 You already know you rock, but I’ll tell you again … you rock!
Dude! Always loved Condition Critical more than Metal Health. Saw them on that tour with the Slide It In Whitesnake opening. Met them at Tower Records. Awesome choice.
Great video! I forgot about condition critical. in 84 I was 4 but I still remember hearing/seeing videos of Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. My start down the hard rock/metal path.
Hi Darcy!!! well done and cool choices/examples.... i think you're right about Anthrax's "State of Euphoria" i also don't know why many believes it's rushed, as the band says (Scott Ian's in his book think so....) Another cool example can be AC/DC's "Flick....." after "For Those.....". cheers and be well
100% agree on Wiseblood. Two great COC albums. Check out No Cross No Crown from them if you haven’t. I think it is their most recent release and it is a return to the swampy goodness of those earlier 90’s albums.
I lost interest after Pepper left, I do have No Cross No Crown but I don’t know it well. I’ll put that one on my playlist for this coming week. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers from Planet6Strings
The last 5 songs on state of euphoria and be all end all is good. My favorites is finale and now its dark but its still an ok album. I used to love it when I first got it
In the summer of 1990 I was on vacation with my family and I had some pocket money I had saved for buying my third metal album ever (the first one was IM's Killers and WASP's The Headless Children-All of them were in cassette format by the way) . I remember at the record store, I was in between buying So Far, So good... So what! and State of Euphoria and I chose the former one. I don't know what's the reason for buying So far, I was probably deciding based on the album covers. I even remember I was hesitant buying So Far because it had only eight songs on the album. Anyways I was glad with my choise later on.
@@EmrahUncu I love hearing those stories of people buying their first albums with their own money. Both awesome albums from ‘88 either way! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
'LCR', 'The Art...' and 'SFL' was a really strong run for Suicidal, in my eyes. I'll always take my hat off to Bon Jovi for following up 'Slippery...' with a much more mature, and better, album in 'New Jersey'.
Goof video Darcy. State of Euphoria is my 2nd favorite from Anthrax! Condition Critical is a really good followup! Point of Entry is still good I think it's front heavy. Great stuff!
I’ve always loved Condition Critical, it was the next album QR III that wasn’t great. Rudy left & things were never the same. Thanks as always 🤘 Have a good week :))
Some examples I have: The Black Album - Load: I really love Load actually, more than The Black Album by a long shot! Hero of the Day, Outlaw Torn, Mama Said... so many good, blues / country style tracks that are dirgy at times and just seem more emotional than they ever had done before! Love that shit. No More Tears - Ozzmosis: Once again the biggest commercial and critical success, followed up years later with what was essentially a dud in both regards. I personally highly enjoy this album, I think Ozzy sounds killer, and I think Zakk Wylde (while his playing wasn't at the level of No More Tears), did well. Perry Mason, Tomorrow, Whole World's Falling Down. Just so much heavy, heavy shit! Seasons in the Abyss - Divine Intervention: Never understood the hate here, the last great Slayer album by my books, and we had Paul Bostaph going ballistic on the kit, what more can we ask for!
I actually considered Load, if you remember I’m a fan of that album too. My first son was born that year & I have a pile of fond memories of that album. I’m also on the same page as you regarding Divine Intervention, I feel like it’s the last great Slayer album. Thanks again for the in-depth comment, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yes I do remember that! Think that was from the first comment I made here :) So glad to see we agree on Divine and Load, such underappreciated albums! Cheers man!
Hi Darcy! State Of Euphoria was indeed rushed; it had to be finished before the Monsters of Rock tour ‘88 on which I saw them in Tilburg, September 4th
State Of Euphoria was my introduction to Anthrax and to this day is my favourite from them. Now It's Dark is my favourite track. Lights Camera Revolution is my fav by Suicidal followed by Suicidal For Life which I played to death when I was in a bad mood and listening to it always took the edge off. I have never delved into Corrosion. Heard a track or two over the years but that's about it. Countdown is a great album but deffinatly going on the lighter side. I love Rust In Peace but for me So Far So Good So What is always my go to album. To be honest I have never heard Point Of Entry. British Steel is legendary in my book. I love the chorus in the song United. For me Dog Eat Dog By Warrant was an underated album. I think it just came out at the wrong time. Cherry pie was such a huge album financially for the band but I feel Dog Eat Dog is better and heavier. Awesome video mate😃🤘
Suicidal For Life was a real uplifting album 😂 Mike definitely brought the emotion on that one! Try Corrosion Of Conformity Deliverance. Agree with you on Dog Eat Dog. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers brother
I had thoughts on a few follow up albums but I thought I wrote too much already. 😂1: Celtic Frost-Into the Pandemonium. I can not get into it. I love to Mega Therion, but they just went too far out there too fast. Loved Vanity/Nemesis though. DBC-Universe. The first Dead Brain Cells is one of my favorite thrash albums, but I can't get into Universe. Where it took Voivod 4 albums to get to the brillance of Dimension Hatross, DBC tried to do it in 2. It was too big of a leap too soon. The vocals bore me. Down-Down 2. I love this album, but everyone just cases about Nola. Death Angel-Frolic through the Park. I hated it when it came out. I enjoy it now though. Where Ultra Violence was pure Ride The Lightning worship, by Frolic it felt they were all being influenced by different types of music and they wanted to put those influences into one album, and it's just not cohesive. They hadn't developed enough as song writers. I think by Act 3 they had and they perfected what they tried to do with Frolic. I have opinions on South of Heaven too, but that just gets the Slayer fans upset, and I'm a Slayer, just not of South of Heaven. For me Slayer perfected on Seasons what they failed on South of Heaven.
You mean you don’t like an album that starts off with a shitty Wall Of Voodoo cover song 😂 Thanks again for the great comments, that’s what this is all about!
@@srh361 You’re probably right! Personally I lost track of them after Suicidal For Life, that was an angry f#%king album lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
You should really get COC-No Cross, No Crown. It is everything worth loving about Pepper era COC. Skip the 2 albums they did without Pepper in the 2000s. I love the riffs and songs, BUT I can't get on board with the vocals. I was excited when I heard Mike was doing vocals because Animosity was my first COC album, and I love 6 songs with Mike Dean. But his vocals aren't the same anymore. I like American Volume Dealer but It's their Load album. They really did the same thing. They were rebranded as COC, you won't find Corrosion of Conformity anywhere on the album. Pepper trimmed his hair too. I remember before it came out I was reading a small blurb article in the drug store, where I bought my metal mags, that Columbia records dropped COC after hearing the demos for AVD, and that the songs lacked the Sabbathesque riffs of previous albums. I was so worried 😂And then Reed Mullin left the band and did an interview criticising the album. He said it's his least favorite drumming album. He said he prefers political songs, but Pepper likes writing about relationships and then he said "We're not corroding much conformity these days " 😆
I do have No Cross No Crown, I’ve only had it for a couple years, it’s very good! I really like America’s Volume Dealer, Congratulations Song & 13 Angels are 2 of my favourite COC songs. I’ve check out the 2012 & 2014 without Pepper, definitely not for me. Thanks for the great comment(s), you know your shit! Thanks again 🤘 Take care Greg
Some great examples Here. State of euphoria is a great record. I mean that and among probably my 2 fav honestly. And I agree countdown is great as well. It was the time period, and Metallica was so successful 1 year earlier. Still a great release. And I’m about done with the hate point of entry gets. It’s fantastic. Even the follow up to give me your soul please is great as well, it gets hated on . Oh wait… I mean I just know it’s gonna be great! 😂 stay well brother. 👊
After a 4 album onslaught of technical thrash perfection, R.I.P., Punishment for Decadence, No More Color and Mental Vortex, Coroner released Grin in 1993, what's your opinion of that record! And since JP is your favorite you might as well talk about the follow up to Painkiller, cheers!
@@aaroncoroner5915 Believe it or not I’ve only really got into Coroner this past year, I only owed Punishment For Decadence longer. I’ve only heard Grin once so far, it’s different lol. Ok the follow-up to Painkiller, well back in the day I think my reaction was “we waited 7 years for this”, these days I like it better. What about you & Coroner? Thanks as always my friend 🤘
Hi Darcy I love all the albums only one I didn't bother to much with was Anthrax's state of euphoria and never bought it. But I have a mate who says I need to pick it up and give it a blast \../ Suicidal for life 🤟🤟
@@flukieson Listen to your mate lol, I bet you’ll be surprised how it holds up! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it’s always appreciated 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I liked euphoria when it came out .. never thought it was too inferior.. persistence bored me though And that's my my drop off point .. actually think John Bush was a bit of fresh air I dropped off suicidal with lights too .. not heard anything after Great video
Check out The Art Of Rebellion, you never know you might like it these days. John Bush is great, especially on Sound Of White Noise & anything Armored Saint. Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me 🤘 Have a great week :))
I guess I'll have to give "The Art of Rebellion" another try. I thought it was so terrible that I never bought another ST album again. Especially after the awesomeness of the previous 4 albums.
Hey buddy- Great video as always....I went to the Klash Of The Titans show last night here in Detroit. WOW! I loved it and I agree with you 100%, Kreator stole the show. I loved Testament also but Kreator sounded great and the stage show was amazing. They are such a great band! I loved how both Millie and Chuck got the crowd into it. I must say that I was disappointed with Testaments stage. I thought it was weak. Especially after seeing Kreator play first. Who closed the show the night you saw them? I assume they alternate. I also bought the same t-shirt you are wearing in this video. Great choice. By the way, are you on Facebook or Instagram at all? PS- congrats to your Vikings going 4-0. My Bills were looking great until getting destroyed last night.🤘
As far as I know Testament closes the show every night, might be different when they tour other countries I don’t know. Kreator should play last always, they are on another level. Yeah I was thinking about you while I was watching the Bills game. The Vikings just about gave it away lol. Facebook - never! Instagram - have it, but hardly ever use it. But it’s a good way to message people. Glad you enjoyed the show 🤘 Cheers brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 oh ok. I didn’t realize Testament was closing the show every night. But I agree Kreator should close. I almost felt bad for Testament having to come out after that spectacular Kreator stage/show. Truly awesome. Cheers Darcy 🤘🏻
Hi Darcy! When you ask Metalfans in Germany, what can you say me about Dokken, then the most think on "Under Lock and Key". But for me, "Back for the Attack" is the better Album and many People forget about this Masterpeace... Greetings Uli
I think Back For The Attack is fantastic, George’s guitar tone is something special on that album. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers to you & all the metal fans in Germany
@@7BobbyGaylor7 I just picked up that T-shirt from the concert last Sunday, they played Phantom Antichrist. I think they played 8 or 9 album title tracks all together. You’re gonna love that Kreator album 🤘 Cheers Bobby
In my opinion, Suicidal Tendencies The Art of Rebellion and Anthrax's State of Euphoria are both pretty overlooked. Corrosion of Conformity's Wiseblood is a good album.
Suicidal getting more weird and using a certain producer you could say they "Rushed" the album... get it, hahaha... I loved "Countdown to Extinction" when it came out. It was overplayed quickly, they were so prominent all over TV and radio. Over 30 years later I still can enjoy the album though. I always had a softspot for "Point of Entry", I think as a whole it´s better than "British Steel".
Hi Darcy! I really like your videos because we have similar tastes. I watch it regularly from the Czech Republic. It occurs to me, you don't mention Bonded, Headhunter and Gomorra anywhere. Do you know those bands?
To be honest I never heard of them! If our tastes are similar I better check out those 3 bands. Thanks for letting me know & thanks for the kind words 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Balls to the Wall to Metal Heart The Dark to Blessing in Disguise. Reign in Blood to South of Heaven. Took a while for me. Testament. The New Order. I thought Practice what you Preach was a bit of a drop off. Death Angel debut to Frolic in the Park. Got some great songs on it Love State of Euphoria. Not a fan of Point of Entry save for a couple of songs
Some great examples there! I love how Slayer slowed everything down on South Of Heaven, I remember when I first heard the opening riff on Mandatory Suicide … I was like faahk yeah lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Steve
Blessing in Disguise is excellent. Different singer than The Dark. Used to listen to Practice What You Preach but fell off Testament. Wake the Dead by Suicidal Tendencies another excellent lp but I stopped listening after. Stopped listening to Judas Priest after Stained Class but years later came Painkiller! One of my favorite comeback albums.
I fall into the people who hated Art of Rebellion 😂couple good tracks on there though. Probably the best albums they did after that are Freedumb and World Gone Mad. World Gone Mad was a lot better then I was expecting it to be because of how average 13 was. Plus ST got over self indulgent of releasing albums and EPs that are just full of re-recorded tracks from their early days, and some of them are terrible. Agree on 100% on Anthrax. Agree on Wiseblood. I like it, but my original thoughts were that it's too polished. It sounds like a major label album. Really lacks the grit of Deliverance. Hot Take: I enjoy CTI and Youthenasia more then RIP. I just feel like song writing is more mature. Not a fan of Cryptic Writings and Risk though. You can seriously get off the Megadeth train, without consequences, after Youthenasia and not miss much. Maybe snag Hidden Treasures, End Game and United Abominations. Megadeth needs a greatest hits 2000s-present album, because that would be worth owning more then all the albums they'v e done. I go back to Point of Entry more then any Judas Priest album now. I didn't have it as a teenager because I never saw it in the record store. I never heard it until like 2010 when I started getting back into Priest. It's a great album that should have come out before British Steel.
Got Point of Entry when it was released. I thought it was meh.. ( a couple of great songs but that's about it). I've listened to it now that I'm older and wiser....sorry, but I stil think it's meh😑
Just seeing the well-placed Exciter album there, which I still dig a lot and gets too much crap. Likewise, Condition Critical and Point of Entry. I did fall away from Euphoria quite a bit over the years, though. I did drop off with Suicidal after L,C,R, so I'm that guy, I suppose. As for Megadeth, I love Countdown but can only speak for the original mix, as those post-2009 butcherings of the catalog are largely unlistenable to me. Haven't heard COC past Blind, so maybe I'll check into that.
Yes Dave needs to get that shit straightened out! We need proper reissues of all the Capital Years & yes none of those bullshit remixes, those are absolutely tragic lol. Try COC Deliverance, it’s awesome! Have a good weekend 🤘
Hi there.Metal Healt came in 1983 and Condition Critical 1984. BE specific with the years.Condition Critical sold only 1000000 copies.Metal Healt sold around 5000000 copies. I also welcome Jason back To Metallica any tlme.Anhtrax's 2 absolutely best albums easily are Among The Living and State Of Euphoria.TUOMO FROM FINLAND.Hopefully you comment something To me.
I guess you missed my other 200 videos where I was accurate with my years 😂 🤣 Yeah I really miss Jason, I wish he would’ve never left Metallica! Thanks for watching 🤘 Stay Heavy in Finland
Never been big on Dream Theater, but to be fair I don’t think I’ve given them a proper chance. Some bands I listen to that fall under the progressive metal realm : bands like Queensrÿche, Savatage, Rush & even some Tool once in a while. How about you? Are you excited Mike is back in the band?
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Thanks Darcy, I'm alive and kickin"as usual and listening to Mercyful Fate "In The Shadows" -my favorite album this week!
When it comes to Megadeth, I think that Countdown, Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings were all stellar albums and are totally under appreciated. Great stuff as always buddy!🤘
Iron Maiden were a great example of awesome follow-up albums. The first five albums were flawless, with each one being better than it's predecessor.

Here. State of euphoria is a great record. I mean that and among probably my 2 fav honestly. And I agree countdown is great as well. It was the time period, and Metallica was so successful 1 year earlier. Still a great release. And I’m about done with the hate point of entry gets. It’s fantastic. Even the follow up to give me your soul please is great as well, it gets hated on . Oh wait… I mean I just know it’s gonna be great! 😂 stay well brother. 👊
I’ll be in the retirement home before I see a new King Diamond album 😂
I think I would add CEREMONY by THE CULT. It followed SONIC TEMPLE. It had tepid reviews. I think it's excellent.
@@greggom656 That’s a great pick! I’m with you, less polished, but still a great album. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Greg
After a 4 album onslaught of technical thrash perfection, R.I.P., Punishment for Decadence, No More Color and Mental Vortex, Coroner released Grin in 1993, what's your opinion of that record! And since JP is your favorite you might as well talk about the follow up to Painkiller, cheers!
@@aaroncoroner5915 Believe it or not I’ve only really got into Coroner this past year, I only owed Punishment For Decadence longer. I’ve only heard Grin once so far, it’s different lol. Ok the follow-up to Painkiller, well back in the day I think my reaction was “we waited 7 years for this”, these days I like it better. What about you & Coroner? Thanks as always my friend 🤘
Great topic Darcy. I need more Corrosion Of Conformity and Suicidal Tendencies in my collection. Have a headbanging week 🤘 🍻!
Yes you do need more of both in your collection! I will & I hope you have a headbanging week yourself 🤘 Cheers Speedy
Hi Darcy I love all the albums only one I didn't bother to much with was Anthrax's state of euphoria and never bought it. But I have a mate who says I need to pick it up and give it a blast \../ Suicidal for life 🤟🤟
@@flukieson Listen to your mate lol, I bet you’ll be surprised how it holds up! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it’s always appreciated 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I liked euphoria when it came out .. never thought it was too inferior.. persistence bored me though And that's my my drop off point .. actually think John Bush was a bit of fresh air
I dropped off suicidal with lights too .. not heard anything after
Great video
Check out The Art Of Rebellion, you never know you might like it these days. John Bush is great, especially on Sound Of White Noise & anything Armored Saint. Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me 🤘 Have a great week :))
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I will .. not heard it tbh ... thanks
I guess I'll have to give "The Art of Rebellion" another try. I thought it was so terrible that I never bought another ST album again. Especially after the awesomeness of the previous 4 albums.
Give it one more shot just for me! If you still hate it we’ll just pretend it didn’t happen 🤣 Cheers brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 lol. you got it.
Hey buddy- Great video as always....I went to the Klash Of The Titans show last night here in Detroit. WOW! I loved it and I agree with you 100%, Kreator stole the show. I loved Testament also but Kreator sounded great and the stage show was amazing. They are such a great band! I loved how both Millie and Chuck got the crowd into it. I must say that I was disappointed with Testaments stage. I thought it was weak. Especially after seeing Kreator play first. Who closed the show the night you saw them? I assume they alternate. I also bought the same t-shirt you are wearing in this video. Great choice. By the way, are you on Facebook or Instagram at all? PS- congrats to your Vikings going 4-0. My Bills were looking great until getting destroyed last night.🤘
As far as I know Testament closes the show every night, might be different when they tour other countries I don’t know. Kreator should play last always, they are on another level. Yeah I was thinking about you while I was watching the Bills game. The Vikings just about gave it away lol. Facebook - never! Instagram - have it, but hardly ever use it. But it’s a good way to message people. Glad you enjoyed the show 🤘 Cheers brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 oh ok. I didn’t realize Testament was closing the show every night. But I agree Kreator should close. I almost felt bad for Testament having to come out after that spectacular Kreator stage/show. Truly awesome. Cheers Darcy 🤘🏻
Hi Darcy! When you ask Metalfans in Germany, what can you say me about Dokken, then the most think on "Under Lock and Key". But for me, "Back for the Attack" is the better Album and many People forget about this Masterpeace... Greetings Uli
I think Back For The Attack is fantastic, George’s guitar tone is something special on that album. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers to you & all the metal fans in Germany
I tried that Art of Rebellion again a while ago after years, it was different but it was ok yeah.
@@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine You were probably knee deep into death metal when that came out, you had no time for ST lol.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Alice in Chains and Nirvana at that time mostly
Hell yeah! And don’t forget your white hightops 😂
Great video! Interesting that you’re wearing a Kreator shirt - I just picked up Phantom Antichrist on Friday. I love Countdown To Extinction! Cheers
@@7BobbyGaylor7 I just picked up that T-shirt from the concert last Sunday, they played Phantom Antichrist. I think they played 8 or 9 album title tracks all together. You’re gonna love that Kreator album 🤘 Cheers Bobby
In my opinion, Suicidal Tendencies The Art of Rebellion and Anthrax's State of Euphoria are both pretty overlooked. Corrosion of Conformity's Wiseblood is a good album.
Yeah especially The Art Of Rebellion. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Tony
Suicidal getting more weird and using a certain producer you could say they "Rushed" the album... get it, hahaha...
I loved "Countdown to Extinction" when it came out. It was overplayed quickly, they were so prominent all over TV and radio. Over 30 years later I still can enjoy the album though. I always had a softspot for "Point of Entry", I think as a whole it´s better than "British Steel".
I wouldn’t say better than British Steel, but it definitely doesn’t deserve the shit it gets! RUSHed 😂 that’s a regular knee slapper!
Hi Darcy! I really like your videos because we have similar tastes. I watch it regularly from the Czech Republic. It occurs to me, you don't mention Bonded, Headhunter and Gomorra anywhere. Do you know those bands?
To be honest I never heard of them! If our tastes are similar I better check out those 3 bands. Thanks for letting me know & thanks for the kind words 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Hey Darcy👍yup Art of Rebelion is a brilliant album,dare i say even bettter than lights 👊
I’m glad to hear you say that, so many great songs! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Frank
lison to Mallevs - The Hamme
I just looked them up, good traditional sounding metal. I see their album is on Floga Records too. Thanks for the recommendation 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Wiseblood rocks.
You got that right! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Balls to the Wall to Metal Heart
The Dark to Blessing in Disguise.
Reign in Blood to South of Heaven. Took a while for me.
Testament. The New Order. I thought Practice what you Preach was a bit of a drop off.
Death Angel debut to Frolic in the Park. Got some great songs on it
Love State of Euphoria.
Not a fan of Point of Entry save for a couple of songs
Some great examples there! I love how Slayer slowed everything down on South Of Heaven, I remember when I first heard the opening riff on Mandatory Suicide … I was like faahk yeah lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Steve
Like I said, timing & the memories that go with it!
Blessing in Disguise is excellent. Different singer than The Dark. Used to listen to Practice What You Preach but fell off Testament. Wake the Dead by Suicidal Tendencies another excellent lp but I stopped listening after. Stopped listening to Judas Priest after Stained Class but years later came Painkiller! One of my favorite comeback albums.
I fall into the people who hated Art of Rebellion 😂couple good tracks on there though. Probably the best albums they did after that are Freedumb and World Gone Mad. World Gone Mad was a lot better then I was expecting it to be because of how average 13 was. Plus ST got over self indulgent of releasing albums and EPs that are just full of re-recorded tracks from their early days, and some of them are terrible. Agree on 100% on Anthrax. Agree on Wiseblood. I like it, but my original thoughts were that it's too polished. It sounds like a major label album. Really lacks the grit of Deliverance. Hot Take: I enjoy CTI and Youthenasia more then RIP. I just feel like song writing is more mature. Not a fan of Cryptic Writings and Risk though. You can seriously get off the Megadeth train, without consequences, after Youthenasia and not miss much. Maybe snag Hidden Treasures, End Game and United Abominations. Megadeth needs a greatest hits 2000s-present album, because that would be worth owning more then all the albums they'v e done. I go back to Point of Entry more then any Judas Priest album now. I didn't have it as a teenager because I never saw it in the record store. I never heard it until like 2010 when I started getting back into Priest. It's a great album that should have come out before British Steel.
Got Point of Entry when it was released. I thought it was meh.. ( a couple of great songs but that's about it). I've listened to it now that I'm older and wiser....sorry, but I stil think it's meh😑
Just seeing the well-placed Exciter album there, which I still dig a lot and gets too much crap. Likewise, Condition Critical and Point of Entry. I did fall away from Euphoria quite a bit over the years, though. I did drop off with Suicidal after L,C,R, so I'm that guy, I suppose. As for Megadeth, I love Countdown but can only speak for the original mix, as those post-2009 butcherings of the catalog are largely unlistenable to me. Haven't heard COC past Blind, so maybe I'll check into that.
Yes Dave needs to get that shit straightened out! We need proper reissues of all the Capital Years & yes none of those bullshit remixes, those are absolutely tragic lol. Try COC Deliverance, it’s awesome! Have a good weekend 🤘
Hi there.Metal Healt came in 1983 and Condition Critical 1984.
BE specific with the years.Condition Critical sold only 1000000 copies.Metal Healt sold around 5000000 copies.
I also welcome Jason back To Metallica any tlme.Anhtrax's 2 absolutely best albums easily are Among The Living and State Of Euphoria.TUOMO FROM FINLAND.Hopefully you comment something To me.
I guess you missed my other 200 videos where I was accurate with my years 😂 🤣 Yeah I really miss Jason, I wish he would’ve never left Metallica! Thanks for watching 🤘 Stay Heavy in Finland
Kreator🎉
Hail To The Hordes 🤘
I know this has nothing to do with your video but do you like prog metal at all maybe something like dream theater?
Never been big on Dream Theater, but to be fair I don’t think I’ve given them a proper chance. Some bands I listen to that fall under the progressive metal realm : bands like Queensrÿche, Savatage, Rush & even some Tool once in a while. How about you? Are you excited Mike is back in the band?
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 ahhh okayb

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Thanks Darcy, I'm alive and kickin"as usual and listening to Mercyful Fate "In The Shadows" -my favorite album this week!
Good one! So many great songs on that album, including my personal favourite Thirteen Invitations. Thanks as always 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
