I used to like Idolatry more, but these days it's not quite brutal enough, not quite raw enough, not quite energetic enough, not quite awesome enough to satisfy me thoroughly. It's got great parts (and the title track is still the ****ing business) but other death thrash albums grab me more. Aside from Demolition Hammer, I'd put Morbid Saint's Spectrum of Death, Protector's A Shedding of Skin, Solstice's self-titled (if for only intensity), both Exhorder albums, and possibly Num Skull's Ritually Abused above it.
