There's one album that jumps immediately to mind for me:

Xentrix - For Whose Advantage?

It's basically what would have happened if Metallica had followed up And Justice For All with another album in a similar vein, but better.



So that one is an easy number 1 for me. The rest of my list will have less than 10 since I don't listen to a lot of thrash:

2: Sacriliege - Within the Prophecy
This album has energy in spades and I just love the way it sounds.

3: Holy Moses - Redefined Mayhem
To me, most thrash revival is dull and with little to no merit. This album was something else. A dash of Voivod and some inspired songwriting. Probably the only modern thrash release I really care about at all from a smaller band.

4: Megadeth - The System has Failed
So I'm already breaking the rules somce this isn't exactly unknown or poorly rated. I just think it's been somewhat lost in the shuffle. Really one of the best Megadeth albums in my opinion.

5+
ummmm.... nope, that was the list. Put on anything with Stam1na if they count as thrash.
