To be perfectly honest, Morbid Visions is nothing special, there's far better albums in that style from that era. The production is less raw and more thin and weak unfortunately.

Troops of Doom still dominates though. :metal:

Bestial Devastation

I only just heard Bolt Thrower's Realm of Chaos a few days ago, and its already kickin' my ass.

Well I'm listening to Black Sabbath's debut for the second time, the first time being yesterday (it's 2:17am here).

There are very few albums I have actually listened to in their entirety, I just download songs individually most of the time, the only album I know for sure that I have listened to from start to finish is Opeth's Watershed which I listened to earlier today on Youtube.

Depends on the album, I guess. I was talking to my friend about this today and we both agreed that some albums are good for listening to one or two individual songs, while others are just fantastic as whole ablums. Like, with Bloodbaths Nightmares Made Flesh, I could pick two or 3 songs out and like them just as much as if I were to listen to the whole album chronologically. However, albums like Ulvers Bergtatt sound amazing as a whole.

It's difficult to find time to listen to some classic albums from the 80's or early 90's with so much bands around. Did you listen to those classic albums out of curiosity or did you have some of your friends "forcing" you to take a listen? I haven't listened most of death metal classics while my thrash is much better.

then listen to it again, only much louder

the16th6toothson is right, you're obviously not listening to it loud enough. LOUDER.

Speaking of louder, has anybody noticed that once you get past a certain volume, music starts to become indistinct due to the... LOUDNESS and all, but for whatever reason, Motörhead just becomes more and more distinct and better the louder it is?

I still haven't heard Sepultura's debut album yet....even though I used to own everything from Schizophrenia up to Roots at one point.....

Well I'm listening to Black Sabbath's debut for the second time, the first time being yesterday (it's 2:17am here).

Not metal but I got my hands on a copy of Coven's Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls just last week. Some pretty creepy stuff considering the time period that it came out.

Funny, I don't remember it." I've actually been so put off Metallica by all of my mates trying to force them down my throat and their general lack of appeal to me that I don't yet know all their songs by heart.

Personally, I have yet to listen to a black Sabbath album though that should change soon. I shoulg also buy sooner or later the first two Entombed albums.

Manowar's Kings of Metal last week and Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness a week before that. Never had high opinions of either band previously, but I'm starting to become a fan of both now.

Anybody who denies the extreme metallic manliness of Manowar must leave the fucking hall now and never come back.

I remember hearing the album around 1981, a bunch of people I was friends with would try to freak each other out with certain albums/tracks and this was one of those albums. Anyway, fast forward to 1990, I rediscovered that album in a big way. It's up there with Zeppelin I for me as far as amazing debut albums are concerned. I have it on vinyl still. There are a bunch of albums I didn't experience the first time around, mostly death and black metal records. Most recently I have been digging into classic death metal and finding great albums that I knew about but never really heard. I'm mostly interested in the debut albums, and I have been digging in on Immolation, Baphomet, Ripping Corpse, Master, Death Strike, Massacre, and Morpheus Descends.

Lately I've been going on a Thrash bender. I just downloaded Pleasure to Kill, Darkness Descends, Agent Orange and Eternal Nightmare recently. All great thrashterpieces. I can't believe I've been missing out all this time.

Still haven't even bothered listening to it, but I've heard too much about it to just ignore it.

I've been discovering classic albums left and right as of late. Here's some recent favorites of mine: Deceased - The Blueprints of Madness (though their entire discography is great!) Cancer - To the Gory End Mekong Delta - Dances of Death Korpse - Pull the Flood Master - Slaves to Society Death Breath - Stinkin' up the Night and lots more....

mmm given that my favorite genres are from 90s and 00s i tend to listen to "classic" albums mostly to improve my personal musical culture... sometimes it allowed me to find unespeccted affinities (Death, Venom), other times i did without enjoying that much (Cannibal Corpse, Maiden, Mayhem - though all notable bands) speaking about classic names untill today i havent give a listen to an entire record by Dissection, Manowar, Dio, Megadeth, Van Halen, Helloween, any glam metal band, Maiden with Dickinson, Priest, Anthrax, Deicide, Morbid Angel, classic Doom Metal (if you do not count Electric Wizard) and Earth... most probably i'll give a chance to the trash/doom names soon or later

Sad is in your entire family getting massacred by a fruit loop brother who then killed himself, but you weren't at home so you survived. Not to mention you were three minutes from home after having bought a handgun that very day (it was loaded and bought for self-defence).

I have always loved Carcass, but only just last week heard "Reek of Putrefaction" for the first time. I am picking up all the reissues, primarily to have the new packaging. I have all the other original releases, but "Reek..." has always escaped me somehow.

I don't know if this counts, but I've never heard a single Morbid Angel album, not one. Actually, I've only heard like one, maybe two songs. Didn't peak my interst enough to look into them (yes, I'm very aware that I probably just haven't heard the right Morbid Angel, but I don't really need another band whose albums I can't aquire because my want list is like 385,342,895,728,597 deep.)

In addition, I've only heard Rust in Peace a week ago, which, in a way, somewhat underwhelmed me.

People only ever listen to highly regarded albums from the past because they are forced to do so by their friends. It is definitely the case that no-one ever listens to such albums because they contain good music that people enjoy listening to. Clearly, such albums are not an equally valid choice when there are so many current bands around. Phew, needed to get that sarcasm out of my system.
