I only put Mordred in because I wanted people to checkout the album! Yes the singer isn't the greatest and it doesn't sound very dynamic today but that is because you have heard the same sound regurgitated but years later. Imagine it's 1991 (yes most of you were barely alive) and Mordred throw this album out there. Apart from Anthrax doing their thing with Public Enemy nobody had really heard this sound at all and they did it well.

Against the other albums I put up it probably doesn't stand a chance but when someone starts spouting about early Nu Metal you can now throw this at them because it is almost certain they haven't heard of it before.

As for the Sacred Reich bashing

Surf Nicaragua is one of Metal's greatest E.P's and they didn't sound like many Metal acts out there and that is a big factor. It is a little disheartening to hear many Metal bands of the last 10 years or so and not recognise any individual qualities. Metal is a little like RnB to that extent a lot of it lacks individuality.

I should have put Sleepytime Gorilla Museum instead of Mordred maybe.
