period.
1. at the gates - slaughter of the soul.
simply the best. hands down.
never before, or since has the world been subjected to the pure metal perfection that is summed up in this album. classic.
2. sepultura - chaos a.d.
this is the album that started a new metal revolution. a masterpiece of politics and brutality.
fantastic.
3. metallica - master of puppets.
this is the height of metallica's metal prowess, and although '...and justice for all' was the bands breakthrough album, this is far and away their best work.
now, they are just old whiny douchebags.
sad, sorry, sons-of-bitches...
4. slayer - reign in blood.
the godfathers of thrash metal. this is an absolutely essential album.
another in a series of supurb album covers from this band as well.
5. pantera - vulgar display of power.
pioneering a new version of agression, pantera held the torch of metal through the late 90's, when shit was getting super weak (e.g. limp bizkit).
rabid.
to the point that tragically when this band broke up, a crazy "fan" shot and killed guitarist, dimebag darell, while preforming with his new band.

There's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back...
just when I was going to pronounce your blog sucked, you dropped this gem on us. I love thrash metal, think you should put together a track cd of this stuff. We can play it whenever T-Bag and Racer X square off!
Close, but not quite. Coal Chamber's self-titled item is the greates metal record of all time.
Not bad, not bad at all. I'd add Sabbath Paranoid to the list, but that is a little dated to what you have listed.

At the Gates is SOOOOO good...
