Mustaine is crazy and sounds like a strangled kitten, but his band is still the best of the big 4 by a wide margin.

I don't care if they taze me. I'll still be right.

Mustaine can arrange a song, but he has never touched on the kind of hellish (or any other kind of) atmosphere that Slayer does. And Mustaine sounds like he's taking a ****. And they only have 4 albums worth listening to while 90% of Slayer's discog is excellent. And you suck.

I'm somehow fine with his weird vocals and I find Megadeth's music way more interesting than that of Slayer.

When it comes to atmosphere, death metal does what Slayer tries to do better, tbh

It's funny because it's true.

Fucking lol at elphenor's 1.

It's not even that they're weird vox, they're just forced as **** in a "hey look guys, this is heavy right?" kind of way. Musically, Megadeth is way too poppy and lifeless on everything after RIP, and everything before that lacks any kind of immediacy. Basically, Megadeth are the band geeks of thrash metal.

DM defo has atmosphere on a wider level than thrash, but it's rare that it beats Slayer's. Plus Slayer did it 10 years earlier.

He probably even listened to it. Probably not, actually.

Christ, they even have police for ****ing now? Jesus! What's happened to this world? You can do nothing now. :(

Look, even a know-nothing-about-real-metal wanker like me got blown away by this album first time, and I had feared (yeah) listening to it. Mind you, it wasn't until I went through Slayer's discog for one of the Metal Months that I realised how head and shoulders and everything else you can think of it stands above everything in Slayer's discography, to say nothing of most other metal albums.

Can I get an "ANGEL OF DEATH!!!!!!!!" ? :D

The perfect metal album? Hard question to answer, but the answer is **** YES!

10/10

I actually am with Mic on preferring Rust In Peace, but they're not great for the same reasons. Reign In Blood is great because it's the quinessential thrash metal album that you'd show to someone if they asked you what the genre was all about. It's violent, it has a gory awesome album cover, it's short but crams a lot of music into that short amount of time, and it really never ceases to be aggressive. It's one of my favorite metal albums of all time, no doubt. 10/10.

I can agree Mustaine's vocal sound forced, but I'd say the same about Araya's and even Hetfield's. Hetfield actually kind of annoys me these days. Back when I was a teenager, I didn't think his vocals sounded forced, but now he reminds me of that dude from Godsmack.

I never listened to Megadeth because they're heavy. I like most of their albums, admittedly. Even Super Collider.

I'm not a big DM fan, but if I was looking for something heavy and "evil" feeling, I'd put on a Nile record over a Slayer record, every time.
