Best Big Four Thrash Album

Metal is Forever Number of posts : 9948 Age : 49

Metal Hammer is launching a competition to vote for the best album by the Big Four. Albums are:

- Among the living
- Reign in Blood
- Master of Puppets.
- Piece sells, but whose buying.

My vote goes to Master of Puppets headbanger

Reign in Blood, hands down. it's the only one imo that still sounds as extreme as it did when it was released.

I don't like the Anthrax choice, Spreading The Disease is much better. Hell, even Persistence of Time blows away Among The Living.

I'd choose:

Spreading The Disease
Ride The Lightning
South Of Heaven
Peace Sells

Yup, quite amazing to think how they managed to forge a sound that never gets outdated by any Metal standards

'Puppets is a bit overrated IMO

Rust In Peace All The Way baby

Have to agree, none of the others really sound the same as when I started listening to them 8 years ago.
Hey, I'm still a youngster when it comes to metal by most peoples standards!

I've never enjoyed Reign in Blood that much. The first and the last songs are killer, and there are perhaps some moments here and there in the middle, but that's about it. Seasons in the Abyss is way better. Definitely my favourite Slayer album. Spirit in Black is amazing!

I don't know if I would agree with Among the Living either. It is great but I think Spreading the Disease is better.

Peace Sells.... I could agree on that. I thought they would choose Rust in Peace, but I'm glad they chose this. I've always thought Peace sells is better than RIP.

Master of Puppets... Yeah, I agree. There was a time when I didn't get any of Metallica's early records. I thought they all were seriously overrated. Nowadays I like them. I still don't enjoy Kill 'em All that much, but I like Master of Puppets a lot, and I've learned to like Ride the Lightning too. Master of Puppets is the best of their first four albums (that making it the best album of their whole catalogue too).

EDIT:
From those four albums, I would vote Peace Sells.

"Ride the Lightning"

... but from those choices I'd go with "Peace Sells".

"Among" is by far the worst of the bunch.

Don't like the Anthrax choice - Spreading and Persistence are much better albums. I'm fine with the SLayer and Metallica choices. I would go with Rust In Peace over Peace Sells

I would go with 'Reign in Blood' followed closely behind 'Master of Puppets'

Reign in Blood by a mile.

Metal graduate Number of posts : 349 Age : 55

Of the choices, I'll say Among just for "Indians" & "I Am the Law".

I'd choose:

Spreading The Disease
Ride The Lightning
South Of Heaven
Peace Sells

I Like your list,I could go with that as well. I've always prefered South of Heaven over Reign in Blood

Heart of Metal Number of posts : 2256 Age : 40

My own list:

...And Justice For All
Spreading the Disease
Rust in Peace
South of Heaven

With first place going to: ...And Justice for All

Out of the original list, I'd go with Master of Puppets

Reign in Blood!!!

I never actually voted for which album "from" this list I'd choose, oops.

I'd have to go with Reign In Blood, still sounds just as fresh today as ever. Peace Sells would run a close second.

Master Of Puppets....really doesn't sound that great any more to me. Disposable Heroes is a classic song, but I'm completely burnt out on the remainder of the album. I don't even own a copy any longer.

1.) Master of Puppets (10/10)
2.) Reign in Blood (10/10)
3.) Peace Sells (9/10)
4.) Among the Living (9/10)

As far as Megadeth goes, they should have went with "Rust in Peace" over "Peace Sells", as RIP is generally considered their best album.
