This was a great show. We definitely need part two, but could not disagree more with the condemnation of 'Could this be Magic' on Women and Children First. It's a beautiful song. Perfect. The album would not be the same, a perfect 10, without it. 🤘
Great show guys . Great panel 👏. Good job Grant 👍
I think Africa is a great song, and the best on the album. I never get tired of it.
Agree on Africa. I should be sick of the song, but I still enjoy hearing it.
I agree with you, what a beautiful song! I wouldn't be surprised if Peter said he got tired of hearing it, but not to like in the first place is really weird.
Masterpiece.
Same here - it's the only one I actually like on the album!
Dalbello doing the I'm Gonna Get Close to You original version is AMAZING
I would say all of Paul Stanley's solo album ;)
2 x 4 off Metallica’s Load. The remaining 74 mins are perfect.
Yes it's actually aged fairly well but I still maintain they should've edited Load + Reload into one album of much higher quality..Same with the GNR Illusion albums and Tusk.
Totally agree with Butch on ‘Do You Close Your Eyes’.
Run with the wolf is more crappy to me.
D’yer Maker - Houses of the Holy
Royal Orleans - Presence
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - Abbey Road
Dyer mker is great, presence sounds like physical out takes.
I think The Crunge is much worse than D'yer Maker. I actually like that song, a lot. I agree with you on Royal Orleans, 100%. I'd add Candy Store Rock and Hots on for Nowhere. The other songs on Presence I either like or love.
Deep Purple - Anyone's Daughter
Rush - Tai Shan
Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness
Cream - Mother's Lament
Genesis - More Fool Me
Rush - The Body Electric (Grace Under Pressure)
Queensryche - Della Brown (Empire)
Iron Maiden - Heaven Can Wait (Somewhere In Time)
Rainbow - Do You Close Your Eyes (Rising)*
Black Sabbath - Lonely Is The Word (Heaven And Hell)*
* = Songs I don't think aren't bad, but they are just okay and compared to the rest of the album, stick out like a sore thumb.
Why is this episode so short?! Only 30 minutes, come on guys! It's such a great topic, you could have talked for one hour or more.
Grant and/or Martin probably had another show scheduled, so it was rushed I guess.
I really love Frehley’s Comet… except for the stupid DOLLS song!? What the hell were they thinking? 🤮
it was the drugs...but I have to say, Kiss really did the reunion right...once they hit their stride and before Ace got on drugs again/Gene and Paul worked them into the ground/Peter was wearing out...they kicked so much ass on that tour..
They could've put Audio Video,Words Are Not Enough or I Got The Touch in place of Dolls.
At least two NWOBHM songs with the title 'Gangland' - Iron Maiden and the Tygers of Pan Tang - don't mind Maiden's too much (Total Eclipse much better) but the Tygers' song rocks!!
Kreator did a cover version,which I heard B4 Tygers.
1. Mother (Synchronicity-The Police)
2. Spanked (For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge-Van Halen)
3. The Speed of Love ( Counterparts-Rush)
4. My Wife ( Who’s Next-The Who)
5. Bring Back That Leroy Brown (Sheer Heart Attack-Queen)
The Modern Lovers-Girl Friend (S/T, 1976)
The Stooges-L.A. Blues (Fun House, 1970)
Soundgarden-Drawing Flies (Badmotorfinger, 1991)
Led Zeppelin-D'yer Mak'er (Houses of the Holy, 1973)
Alice Cooper-Sick Things (Billion Dollar Babies, 1973)
1. Love - Revelation, from Da Capo (a boring jam that takes up the entire second side of the album)
2. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Little Miss Strange, from Electric Ladyland (a dull pop ditty 'sung' by Noel Redding)
3. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - She's So Fine, from Axis Bold As Love (another one sung in Noel's nasal voice).
4. ELP - Benny The Bouncer, from Brain Salad Surgery (jokey novelty song)
5. ELP - Are You Ready Eddie, from Tarkus (ditto)
6. Black Sabbath - Changes, from Volume IV
7. ZZ Top - Heaven, Hell or Houston, from El Loco
8. The Moody Blues - Dr Livingstone I Presume, from In Search of The Lost Chord
Yes that's the one that kept El Loco from perfection.ZZ made several albums with a clunker.
Fly By Night - Rush - Rivendell is awful
A Farewell to Kings - Madrigal - ok but put another rocker on there for a perfect record
KISS - debut - Kissin' Time is horrid (gimmicky)
Synchronicity - Mother - unlistenable
Zep III - Hats off to Roy Harper - bad...why the heck didn't they put Hey, Hey what can I do?
We're in agreement on Synchronicity. I'm not a big fan of LZ III. However, I would have three good reasons to listen to if it, aside from Immigrant Song, if they had included Travelling Riverside Blues and Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? as well.
And please take Then She Kissed Me, OFF Love Gun, why did they do that😂
I don't like Hooligan either...First Kiss album with 2 songs I disliked.
@@ericrobertson2024 Peter was the only guy in the band who truly got irony: "all the chicks in town love me.." is he bragging or is it really a glimpse into his sad, tortured soul?
@@channelsurfer3710 I like almost every Kiss track sung by Ace or Peter, except Hooligan and that Found My Way junk from Psycho Circus.
@@ericrobertson2024 I love Hooligan, love everything about it...I love how Gene and Paul would rock up his songs...you can hear Gene and Paul doing the back up vocals....which I love...I love the song...is it tragic or is it bravado? out of everybody in the band, only Peter has that dimension to him
I think if Neil Bogart had had more of hand in managing the band, the original four would have stayed together...he could stand up to Paul and Gene better than Bill could...and he could be diplomatic with Ace and Peter without indulging their bs better than Bill could....just sayin'
Twisted Sister Under the Blade, the song The Day of the Rocker.
Great show guys, lots of cool choices, here’s mine:
1. ELO - Diary Horace Wimp - Discovery
2. Cheap Trick - I Know What I Want - Dream Police
3. Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You - 4
4. Thunder - Gimme Some Lovin’ - Backstreet Symphony
5. J Geils Band - Piss On The Wall - Freeze Frame
H/M - Judas Priest - United - British Steel
Oh wow I love Diary Of Horace Wimp lol...
@@darrenray4121 fair enough Darren. Tbf most people do love it, seems it’s just me.
Wow, I gotta say lady starlight is one of my favorite all-time scorpions tunes. I guess there’s no love for that song.
I love Animal Magnetism but, I never liked Lady Starlight! The Elder is right about the version on Moment of Glory. Klaus sings so well on that one! I love You See Me Crying!!! I think I'm Going Bald isn't that bad. The title was a poor choice though. Had they called it Memory Lane or Slippin' Away, the line I think I'm going bald would have been a kinda funny throw away lyric but, printed on the back of the album in capitol letters it's an eye sore and a poor decision on their part. I've always liked Before the Dawn. It was my go to when someone tried to say that metal bands didn't sing they screamed. Shut up many a naysayer with that one. I love the melancholy progression and the beautiful melodic solo! 10 out of 10 form me! No bad songs on Paul's solo album! Parental Guidance is worse than their cover of Johnny Be Good! Peter Criss' entire solo discography is $hit but for that one song! I like I'm Gonna Get Close To You but, it was a poor choice of a single!!! I like Geoff's vocal and it fit the vampire image they were going for. Gangland rocks! Slippin' Away is great too! Butch??? Wishing Well??? My word Butch!!! I'm shocked! S & M is bad though. Do You Close Your Eyes is terrible too! I'll give you a pass. Mother and Seamus are awful but, Could This Be Magic is a good song. Not a great song but, I have found memories of that one from back in the day!
Interesting show as always. Two of you stole one of my top five but that's cool. At least I'm not the only one who hates the song on the album. Aright, here's my top five:
1. ITOD - Hot Dog (OMG, one of the worst Led Zeppelin songs, ever!! I've only heard it twice. Once watching their Knebworth concert. I skip it every time I watch it. And once on my CD so my mom could listen to it. Haven't listen to it since!!!)
2. Synchronicity - Mother (When I first heard it, I thought there was something wrong w/the record. When I figured out that's how it sounds, I thought what a demonic POS. Always skip it!!!)
3. HOTH - The Crunge (I don't hate it as much as I used to. If I'm in a good mood, I'll listen. If not, I'll skip it.)
4. War- Red Light (I like serious nature of this album, and I find this song to be utter nonsense.)
5. Steel Wheels - Can't Be Seen (When it comes to Queen, I think Freddie Mercury is a decent singer. But a little Freddie goes a long way with me. When Brian May and Roger Taylor take over on vocals, I say to myself, thank God. When it comes to The Rolling Stones, I don't think Mick Jagger is a great singer. But I find him to be an entertaining one. But when Keith Richards takes over on vocals, I think OMG. I don't find Keith good or interesting as a singer, and this song is one of many examples!!!!)
Another Triumph mention is Little Boy Blues on Thunder Seven. However this was one of Rik's things to put a laid back or sad Blues song in most of their albums, so it can ba forgiven.
There are literally 40 albums released in 1984 alone with one track I disliked on each lol along with the Metal Church,Cars,Scandal,Wasp,Metallica albums in which i liked every song.
What about Highway Star on Metal Church? It always bugs me when a young band put a cover song on their debut album. There's really no need in it. Give us your own material. Why would you even emulate a well-known classic?
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf That actually makes more sense,due to most bands doing covers often in live shows early on as opposed to bands doing them after being established well..M.C. version of Highway Star is phenomenal ! I love everything they did up until 1993,and the Wayne/Howe albums after have lots of good tracks as well.
Has there been an episode about stellar,great tracks on otherwise forgettable,weak albums ? Midnight Maniac from Krokus - The Blitz and Lead A Double Life from Loverboy - Lovin' Every Minute are 2 examples for me.
The Priest albums with one weak track are Sad Wings,Sin,British Steel, Screaming,Defenders,Firepower..Stained Class was their sole perfect album to me.
I don't mean to pick on KISS, because i love them, but sometimes they are car accident, part of why i love them, KISSING TIME off of the debut
Great show guys! I'll throw these out there...
The Beatles - When I'm 64 (Sgt Pepper - just think it's a bit naff on a masterpiece, fine for the White Album)
Megadeth - Anarchy in the UK (SFSGSW- I don't mind covers and I love the Pistols and this song but this ain't great, could have done with another original)
Dire Straits - Les Boys (Making Movies - Side 1 is a perfect side but this album closer is not on the same level)
AC/DC - Big Balls (Dirty Deeds... check Craig Kaminski's hilarious rant about this song on SoT! When you're master of the double entendre don't sully yourself with the single entendre, a cover would have been better, the lads must have listened to a lot of blues if they were a song short just give us some Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker!)
Black Sabbath - E5150 (Mob Rules - not against experimentation but we lost out on 5 minutes of Dio singing!)
Agree with you on Megadeth. That Pistols cover was completely unnecessary. So were the covers on their previous two albums, they just kept making the same mistake again and again.
Pete, I agreed with ALL of your picks. Bravo to you. I never agree with every pick.
Oddly I feel that "I Can't Quit You Baby" off the FIRST Led Zeppelin album is the track that doesn't work on the album. "You Shook Me" already appears on side one as a straight blues cover, "ICWYB" on side two adds nothing new or even as a variation, it's just another straight cover that's just sort of lackluster
Is that I can’t wit you baby?
Black Sabbath - Breakout
Deep Purple - A 200
Judas Priest - Evening Star
Led Zeppelin - Going to California
Motörhead - Tear Ya Down
Scorpions - Born to Touch Your Feelings
Aerosmith - Big Ten Inch Record
Van Halen - Ice Cream Man
Metallica - (Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth
Saxon - This Town Rocks
What's wrong with This Town Rocks? It's not bad, I mean they had a lot of similar anthemic songs in their catalogue.
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf I think it´s not that great, maybe a bit mediocre compared to the other songs on the album.
I like it too but maybe it's the 'party' song on that album.
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf I think it´s not that great, maybe a bit mediocre compared to the other songs on the album.
I used to agree with Going to California, but I've grown to like it quite a bit.
The second category is when one song has a noticeably worse quality than the rest of the album thus it sticks out like a sore thumb:
1) Accept, Restless & Wild - Don't Go Stealing My Heart Away
2) Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark - Weekend Warrior
3) Saxon, Rock The Nations - Party Till You Puke
4) Manowar, Kings of Metal - Pleasure Slave
5) Rainbow, Rising - Do You Close Your Eyes
6) Helloween, Keeper of the Seven Keys - A Tale That Wasn't Right
7) Annihilator, Never Neverland - Kraf Dinner
Dire Straits: Making Movies--the usual excellence you expect from Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits for six of the seven songs. One song, called " Les Boys " is the only bad song MK wrote. Mediocre musically, and the lyrics were meant to be sarcastic, but, failed. Having it be the closing song of the album is egregious
Before the Dawn is one of the best unballads of all time and a great song and completely sits well with the entire flow. Killing Machine is a 10/10 album.
And Lady Starlight is also not your typical ballad and is more like Try Me from UFO, the unballad ending with a ripping guitar solo. Albums by these great bands in 70s - 80's were diverse. This song sits perfectly, ending the 1st side of the album. Obviously records and their pacing is a lost art nowadays
I agree, BtD totally fits on the album as a nice breather between the rockers.
Before The Dawn is my favorite track on the album.Running Wild is better in the live versions.
At the moment, I have these 5 (no particular order)...
Hats Off To (Roy) Harper-Led Zeppelin (I would've had Hey Hey What Can I Do on side 2 of Zep 3 instead of this one, though not as side 2 closer. Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp would've made for a better finish to the album)
Dose Of Thunder-The Replacements (a B-side at best)
Mothers Of The Disappeared-U2 (anyone with common sense would've made the preceeding track Exit the last song on The Joshua Tree)
The Loved One-INXS (don't dislike it, but its out of whack with the rest of Kick and besides, they did a much better version of this song in '81)
Coin In A Plate-James Reyne ( same deal as The Loved One-doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. The Traveller would've made for a better album closer)
Cheers!
I like the tracks Cliff Davies sings on the later Nugent albums (Saddlesore/Come & Get It/Predator) , but I agree with Peter , that one ruins the momentum.
Delilah-Innuendo
Surfin' Bird-Rocket To Russia
Agree with Butch, Gonna Get Close To You sounds completely out of place on Rage For Order.
Here are some of the ones i could think of:
- Queensryche covering Rebel Yell on Digital Noise Alliance: thank goodness it's abonus track and the last song but it just sounds out of place.
- Queen: Sweet Lady from Night at the Opera. Cannot stand that song and wish thwy had kept it off the album; perfect record for me otherwise.
- Queen: Get Down Make Love from News of the World. Another track i cannot stamd and would have madw the album a 10/10 if it had been off it.
- Queen: Body Language off Hot Space. I guess I'm probably one of the few people who likes the album; not a classic or masterpoece but a solid release. For me, it would've been thqt much better if that song had never been conceived.
I'm one of the only people who really loves "Mother" from Synchronicity. My old band even played it live. True, though, it doesn't fit on the album.
can you imagine being Sting and having to listen to the other guys' songs?
I also love Mother. You can tell Andy was listening to 80's King Crimson. It would fit right on Discipline after Elephant Talk.
OMG, really? To each their own, I guess?!
Ok, another awesome show gents. Here's a few
Alice Cooper-Department of Youth (Welcome to My Nightmare)
Alice In Chains-Swing on This (Jar of Flies) Totally takes you out of the amazing album that comes before it!
Flying Burrito Bros.- My Uncle (Gilded Palace of Sin) An incredible album with this odd song shoehorned in
Ozzy-Zombie Stomp (No More Tears) Awful
Pearl Jam-Blood (VS) Rest of the album is amazing, this just stinks imo
Phil Lynott-Don't talk about me baby (The Philip Lynott album)
Radiohead-Fitter Happier (OK Computer) Doesn't really count, but its a skip when you're playing the entire album
Black Sabbath-FX (Volume 4) Ugh
I like every song on Vs. I haven't liked much else PJ has done after that album though.
I know I’m going to get a lot of flack for this but please take Ice Cream Man off of Van Halen’s debut. I never liked that song and to me it killed the flow of the album.
I feel the same, can't stand it.
Really, I love that song they made it smoke.
Interesting I quite like Dalbello's version of her song ( produced by Mick Ronson,) very 80's sounding , her voice is quite unique/ powerful and works well with a sparse arrangement and disliked Queensryche's version but loved the band.....
Wild Nights on Turbo and the Johnny Be Bad cover sound intentionally bad to me and Priest is among my 4 favorite bands.
Believe it or not, I recall how JBG was hailed as a successful cover version for a late '80s metal version of a classic rock'n'roll song, I don't know how differently they could've done it at the time. They played the hell out of its two videos on Sky Channel back in the day.
Anyone who says Peter Criss solo album is good hasnt a clue. Thank god for the fast forward button on this video for certain parts
I like it....I like all of the songs...it could have been better, but Peter was a total rock star...his drumming on You Matter to Me is textbook playing for the song....similar to Christine Sixteen from Love Gun
Honestly I can't even make one good album by compiling tracks from every Criss solo album.Ironically I like almost every track he sings in Kiss.
AC/DC Bon Scott albums are usually incredibly solid…but Big Balls off of Dirty Deeds?! BLEH I hate it and skip it every time. It’s just dumb as hell…
Enjoyed the theme but now turn it around albums you hate but for that one song
Mercyful Fate adding Return of the Vampire 1993 at the end of the album In the Shadows... not one of their greatest songs to begin with, but the demo version that appears on the rareties album Return if the Vampire is way better. On the In the Shadows album, the band adds annoying flares in spots, but the real buzz-kill is having Lars Ulrich as guest drummer, who totally shits on the song. Thankfully, it's the last song on the album and I always stop it before it begins.
You could tell Grant loved all the songs Peter (& The Elder) chose 😅
Butch chose Gangland??!?!?! Great song, but I agree the chorus is weak!
I love "Gangland" (and "Invaders" while we're at it), the odd one here for me is "22 Acacia Avenue" on a perfect metal album...
@@LarryFleetwood8675 That's the one I didn't like.Always wondered why it was on that 12 Wasted Years VHS at my aunt's video store lol
mystery Dio last in line
hungry for heaven Dio sacred heart
MTV Classic played that Mystery video to death on the later Headbangers Ball or wtf it was called. Made me despise it lol
@@ericrobertson2024 posed to be another rainbow in the dark but it failed fing bad
What about Sunset Superman on Dream Evil? I just can't stand that awful chorus, it ruins the song and I have to skip it every time.
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf it doesnt stick out as much as the others do for me
Sorry but take Great Expectations off of Destroyer, so cheesy with juvenile lyrics, all ears are different, mine can't stand this one
Gene's love song to himself...lol...."I am the greatest.."
Beth is awful to me, great expectations I like
Terrible song, good album but very overrated. Albumcover better than the music.
First of all I have to say that I hate covers. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad I just can't stand when a band put a cover song on their studio album. If you want to write a cover song do it separately, put it as a B-side on a single, or make a compilation of cover songs, but never put them on your studio album. As a listener I want to hear your own original material, not someone's copies.
That said my first category is almost perfect albums ruined by one cover:
1) Megadeth, Peace Sells But Who's Buying - classic example. It would have been a flawless thrash metal masterpiece record hadn't they included that hideous "Superstitious" track on it. By the way, they also spoiled their first and third albums with awful covers but those albums would still have been far from perfect without them anyway, so it didn't affect them that much.
2) Onslaught, In Search of Sanity - they had even two (!) cover songs on their third album (the one with Steve Grimmet) - AC/DC and Angel Witch (the latter is a bonus track). When you hire a new singer and make him cover "Let There Be Rock" you basically admit that you've run out of ideas. And it's sad. Steve was an outstanding vocalist and I wish he had sung his own material instead of emulating Bon Scott's stupidity.
3) Metal Church, Self-Titled - I love the original version of Highway Star, but I don't need to hear someone playing it faster and more aggressive, twice shorter and without hammond organ, it just insults me as a Purple fan.
4) Blind Guardian, Follow the Blind - again, two covers on the album! And if the Demon cover sounds somehow appropriate, the other one is a Beach Boys cover! Can you believe it?! Fuсking Beach Boys on a thrash metal album! Thank God it's the last track so it's easy to skip it.
5) Motörhead, We Are Motörhead - excellent album from their modern era but that awful cover of "God Save the Queen" apparently brings it down. And I even can't stand the original version, so what's more to say.
2 Timer and Hooligan, actually the only 70s Kiss songs I disliked.
I love Hooligan! Pete's voice is great.
@@jcollins1305 I like all the songs he sang in Kiss except that one & Found My Way.
Off the top of my head. Black Sabbath Volume 4, I do not like Changes
Van Halen Ou812. A a political blues. Horrible
The Stroke..off of Billy Squier's Don't Say No..Yeah, it fits with the rest of the album (sound-wise), but I've never liked it..always skipped it. Too repetitive and annoying, and quite frankly..just plain stupid..hahahaha....love the rest of the album tho.
It's one of my favorites on that album. I like the album as well.
@@kimberlywalker3970 One of the better albums of 1981,my favorite year in music with exception of 1984.
@@ericrobertson2024 For me, it's 1987. Two of my favorite bands released my favorite albums. And a lot of the albums I still own come from that year. A very close second is 1971. I also like 1991, 1983, 1985 and 1979. However, I think 1989 was the least interesting year in the 1980s. But I'm cool with your choices as well 😉😉
@@kimberlywalker3970 April Wine,Van Halen,Iron Maiden,Ozzy,Foreigner,Misfits,Hagar, in addition to the Squier album.81 was a year with great albums in the pop,rock,country,punk,soul genres... Don't tell anyone (I'm supposed to be that heavy rock guy) but one of my favorite albums from 1987 is the Laura Branigan album Touch,it's phenomenal.
@@ericrobertson2024 I won't tell anyone 👍👍 Since we're sharing, I'll give you a rundown of my favorites year by year. And you'll see I'm kind of all over the place.
1987: Kick, The Joshua Tree, Hysteria, Whitesnake, Faith, Diesel and Dust and Music for the Masses
1971: Led Zeppelin IV, Straight Up, Electric Warrior, Sticky Finger and Who's Next
1979: Off the Wall, Breakfast in America, The Wall, The Long Run and ITTOD
1983: Synchronicity, Let's Dance, Pyromania, War and Principle of Moments
1985: Listen Like Thieves, Welcome to the Real World, Play Deep, Songs from the Big Chair, Once Upon a Time and No Jacket Required.
1991: Dangerous, Nevermind, Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik and Ten
I like all the albums I mentioned except Phil Collins. I think his albums generally stink. I also like the years 1973, 1975, 1978, 1984, 1986, 1992 and 1993. But the six years I mentioned I think we're especially good. I wasn't around in 1971, but I own a lot of albums from that year anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey! "My World" is fun and placed properly 😊
Marduk La grande danse macabre!!! That album gets ALOT of hate in part because it followed Panzer Division Marduk so it was gonna be hard to top but also it had 2 instrumentals,one semi instrumental with Summers End which was an utterly pointless song, but aside from that the album was pretty awesome imo. I feel that album gets alot of hate among the Marduk fanbase the same way South of Heaven would get alot of hate among Slayer’s fanbase.
Judas Priest Ram it Down. The Jonny Be Good cover and Love Zone and Love you to Death are not good songs. Other than that the album is awesome!
I don't know which I dislike more,the last 4 on Ram,or the last 4 on Point Of Entry.
@@ericrobertson2024 Gotta go with the last 4 on Point of Entry. Aside from On the Run those last 4 were just painful to listen to. The last 4 on RID were boring but Monster of Rock was cool and Love you to Death was just kinda boring and the Jonny Be Good cover sucks and I actually do like I’m a Rocker
Well, it's more than just ONE song, isn't it?
Let's be honest, Ram It Down is a weak record, only 4-5 songs are decent.
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf Eh, I still like most of it aside from that cover and Love Zone the other 8 songs are pretty solid imo. None of them are terrible. Point of Entry by comparison is much worse imo. Only about 4 or 5 good songs on that album imo.
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf Yep..Point,Turbo and Ram are about half bad each.Depends on how much you like the 5 or 6 good tracks.
Slayer Seasons in the Abyss. I hate Expendable Youth. One of the worst songs they ever wrote and also I find Skeletons of Society to be pretty boring. Other than that a killer album
Yes that was the first Slayer album where I didn't like everything,same perfect streak for me as Metal Church,4 albums.
What?! These are literally my two favourite songs from that record, haha!
@@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf Neither are bad to my ears.Hallowed Point + Spirits In Black are my favorites though.
Deicide Serpents of the light!!! That album is more or less perfect except for that song The Truth Above lol. Totally forgettable pointless song about aliens and the riffs are boring. Otherwise I love that album
