I see your point, I don't mind the thrash revival because I think the genre has stood the test of time, in that its still pretty hard sounding by today's standards.
Outside of Toxic Holocaust though, I haven't heard any of the above mentioned bands put out any songs on par with the big four. In hindsight, it really makes me appreciate how phenomenal bands like Metallica & Megadeth were. Minus them, I don't think thrash would have carried the day, even with Slayer in the mix.
