Power Trip definitely benefits from some good marketing. I think Riley Gale (their singer) is a great promoter, is a solid frontman, and even better hype man. His worst attribute is probably his voice. I agree with Karljant, if you've heard/read the hype about this band you'll probably be...
When I first listened to Power Trip I kept hearing a snippet from Metallica here, or a lead from Slayer there, another bit may sound like Nuclear Assault, or as Shmoo said, Testament. It's clear they've done their homework and they are clearly playing in the old school throw-back thrash sandbox...
My very valid and very real opinions:
Rime > Seventh Son
Powerslave > Evil That Men Do
(you can reverse those but they generally are the top rated)
Infinite Dreams, Moonchild > Aces High, 2 Minutes
(first one is close, 2nd not so much)
Duellists > The Clairvoyant
(the instrumental section of...
I like the lyrics to At the Graves. Sure it has someone rising from the dead, but there is no scientist present, whether mad or not--he comes later in the form of Dr Landau.
I think about that a lot, especially when Practice What You Preach is better than at least 7 albums every round. Faith No More deserved the win, but Preach deserved better. Greenhouse Effect, Sins of Omission, Perilous Nation, the freaking title track...
A Room With a View is not very representative of Death Angel at all. This (their third) album was a departure from their much more thrasher sound on previous and later albums, but they did have a couple more ballad-y types on this album. They were going for a commercial success here. If you do...

A link to the whole thread. Scoring rules on page 1, my list was on page 6. For some reason I thought they were going to play Murders in the Rue Morgue and Stranger in a Strange Land.
All right, we're agreed. it's easy to take things said on the internet out of context or in the wrong way, and too often people don't take the time to hash it out. We have lots in common. Now let's hold hands and listen to Reign in Blood together, brother!
I wasn't trying to start a fight. I just thought that taking a step back from the myopia of Maidenfans, it would seem crazy that The Number of the Beast was ranked so low. That's it. It's an album anyone who knows anything about metal knows. I personally rank it closer to 5, depending on the...
Who's criticizing? This is my direct quote:
You're a member of Maidenfans, wear it as a badge of honor. Maidenfans have different views what may be typical in the outside (non-Maidenfans) world. That's all I said. It would be like a Megadeth forum saying "I Ain't Superstitious" is crap and...
Only on Maidenfans can an album with the band's best song (Hallowed), most well known song (Run to the Hills), all-time iconic song of the entire genre (title track), and song that apparently many people used to "procreate" to (Children of the Damned -- at least in Bruce's warped imagination) be...
