I'm basically just saying that it's virtually impossible for it to be "great" now because that style had already gone about as far as it was going to go by the early '90s, so anything thrashy made afterwards is probably just going to sound like a bunch of rehashed riffs/ideas. If Death Magnetic came out in '86 and Master Of Puppets came out now, people would probably be going on about how it's good but not quite up there with RTL/DM/AJFA.
