Thrash Metal Big 4 Albums MEGARANKING

Wall of shame to the following corporations for trying to claim this video for a 6 second, ENTIRELY FAIR USE clip of the opening SOLO from Peace Sells. I sadly had to mute it as a result as YouTube's content dispute system basically just doesn't work anymore, but ain't no way they are getting a cent from my hard work and following of the law: PEDL, Warner Chappell Brazil, WCM SG/PRS, LatinAutor – Warner Chappell, Warner Chappell, LatinAutorPerf

I'm a Metallica guy, so I would have liked to see Kill 'em All and AJFA rate higher. I do appreciate your objectivity though.

Super pleased to see both the black album and Countdown in the amazing tier. I'm a huge defender of both (and often am subject to a plethora of boo's and "you need to leave's" lol).

These lists are always interesting, but they can show bias with larger catalogs such as this. If I had to guess, the favorite of these bands of the author is Slayer and the least favorite by a country mile is Anthrax. It’s hard to be objective if the artists being compared aren’t held to the same esteem initially.

Ride The Lightning at #1?

I knew I liked you dude

Mostly agree, BUT: SFSGSW, JFA, KmA and SoH all should be in perfection category.

I'mma keep it 99+1 witchu chief, the only two records i'd switch around between themselves are state of euphoria and fistful of metal. Granted, i'm not the biggest fan of Neil Turbin's vocal performance, even for a first album

What can I say: I was 17 years old i 1984, teenage depressed and nearly wanting to jump off a cliff everytime someone played Wham! to a party – but then I discoevered Metallica "Ride the Lightning", bought the single copy in my local record shop, and it saved my life. Conclusion: I'm biased, but that record will ALWAYS be my favorite!

yep, Megadeth covers ain't so good. I skip Anarchy in the usa (as Dave put it) . Can accept Through the never as the Thrashiest song on the black album. Same for Fuel on re-load*

AIR by Anthrax always reminded me of the Power Rangers theme

Quite an undertaking but you made it enjoyable and to the point. I agree with everything except Load & Re-Load. They're less than OK. And Super Collider is actually a good album. Other than that, great ranking!

finally Death Magnetic getting some love

I don't think of Repentless as a slayer album, it's more like Kerry's first solo album. Incredibly one dimensional songs. The Terry Date production is not suitable for Slayer either. Hanneman wrote all the great songs and Lombardo played drums on them. I think the line up that recorded Repentless, is the diet coke line up of Slayer. Metallica's last good album was load. The old records of all the 4 bands I listen to every now and then. The albums from the mid 90's sucks for the most part.

This one was one of your best 🤘🏻 love the format. Maybe do death or metal core next. (I’m aware no official big fours, but still)

it feels like overkill you say… how much like overkill?

Anthrax – Big Four? They suck more than the most suckiest thing on the planet!

Divine Intervention belongs right next to Reign in Blood on the top row IMO – both are about half an hour of Slayer perfection

The sponsored app seems incredible. Ad and AI free are such a rare thing in this day and age
