Best and worst of NUCLEAR ASSAULT?

What is your favorite and least favorite Nuclear Assault releases?

Sitting here listening to "Survive", which is probably my favorite release from NA. I also like Game Over, Plague, and Handle with Care. I even like Something Wicked and Third World Genocide, which most fans seem to disrespect.

The only NA that I am not a big fan of is Out of Order. I don't hate it, I just rarely play it for some reason. I also think the the Hammersmith album is pretty poor.

You're not alone.So do i.That album to me is their best.

Best - THE PLAGUE/SURVIVE (tie)

Worst - SOMETHING WICKED

Though i've never heard "Out of Order"

Handle With Care is #1 and then Survive is a close second for me.

Handle with care will always be my fave

Yeah, that's probably my favorite too. I like it all though.

Handle With Care is in my opinion their best albums and my least favorite would be Out Of Order.

Survive is my favorite as well. Handle With Care comes in a close 2nd. Game Over also rules!!

My least favorite is the Third World Genocide album. Its not bad but a few songs were not good!

Survive is my personal fave. i can't say i disliked any of their albums.

I don't know, but LONG HAIRED A**HOLES!

Funny song.

Yeeeehaaa!

This is a band I REALLY need to revisit. I had some of their stuff back in the day, but I don't have anything anymore. I think I'm gonna pick something up soon on Half.com used.

Game Over would have to be my favorite. Out Of Order isn't terrible, but would be on the bottom of the stack, I guess. I like Third World Genocide, even though a LOT of people trash it...

I like "Something Wicked" too. DiPitreo is an awesome soloist.

I honestly enjoy all of the their albums. I know Out Of Order was pretty much "paint-by-numbers", but it still wasn't a bad album.

Survive is probably tops for me. I too really enjoy Something Wicked, and I thought Third World Genocide was pretty much a typical Nuke album. I enjoy it!

Game Over for sure. Wore that one out back in the day. The Plague is also good. Haven't heard the newest one.

Sadly, Handle with Care is the only one I own. They're on my list. I'll keep an eye out for 'em.

I'm going to a big rock expo this weekend, so I expect to have quite a new "haul" list on Monday.

Handle With Care is probably my favorite. Out Of Order is probably my least favorite.

Whatever you do, don't start your own "haul thread." You're likely to be killed and eaten.

SURVIVE! but I love 'em all.

Game Over is my favorite...But all of their 1986-89 releases were excellent. I loved the rawness of Game Over...John Connelly's unrestrained vocals ruled! One thing I really admired about them over the years were that they were never a band that cared much for the technicality part of songwriting. They just wrote good energetic and straightforward thrash songs. I love the fact that, like ANTHRAX, they spoke out on social issues such as racism in their songs..."Equal Rights" was killer!!

It had been quite some time since I had heard NUCLEAR ASSAULT when by chance I was riding with a friend a few years ago. This friend happened to have the Alive Again CD. The first thing I noticed was that the band didn't seem to have the same speed as they did years earlier. It was like they were old and had lost their edge or something...they seemed to be doing slower versions of their classic songs. I haven't heard their last studio effort, so I may be wrong, but that live recording seemed to be lacking to my ears. Does the studio effort have the same speed conviction of their older stuff? I may ask a friend to let me hear it down the line.

Game Over would be the favorite, with Third World Genocide being the one I like the least.

handle with care is the only Nuclear Assault Album I've heard. Got the rest on my wish-list

survive definitely in first there. loved the tone and fire that record had top 3 from it prob fight to be free great depression and rise from the ashes. next probably the plague and then handle with care. sorry, hate to be cliche but critical mass is a good tune man.

Survive is my favorite. Can't say I really dislike any of their releases.
