Apart from "Bonded By Blood" Exodus weren`t really good enough music wise to warrant a big 5 accolade. Picking a popular thrash band from the same era, I would say that the discography of Testament was superior.
Indeed, however I think Testament really hit their stride in '99 with The Gathering, which plays more like a death metal album than thrash metal. Still it is cool seeing one of the old school Bay Area thrash bands keeping up with the times and experimenting in ways other than corporate sellout. Steve DiGiorgio's presence is really felt on that album, it's a shame that he only played for that one album because I think he could have really been a key member for the band.
