it is quite the grower. i haven't gotten around to listening to anything other than Killing Technology but i like it enough.

Not many bands are able to blend extreme metal with industrial undertones like Strapping Young Lad was. This album came out in 1997 and it still blows new stuff out of the water.

Orchestral textures, Drum Machines, Juxtaposing vocal styles. This is hugely underated too. Was this the first Avant Garde Metal album? Quite possibly.

Even if it isn't it's the best one i've ever heard.

In fact it was my 2nd choice for this thread.

Oh without a doubt. One of the best albums of the 90s easily.

Ministry-Psalm 69. The Land of Rape and Honey is better but for this thread it fit's better. Opening with N.W.O it still sounds phenomenal to this day.

I'm sorry but i dont recall hearing any overblown crap on any chili's album's! and i am a fan of Faith No More!

I gotta put my vote in for October Rust by Type O Negative..... still sounds as fresh today as the first time I heard it.... I am a permanent fan of that album, methinks...

That's funny... I was going to say Slayer-"God Hates Us All"

But I have to disagree with you on that one... Reign in Blood is dated in my mind because of 80's style vocals in the mix... way more so than Master of Puppets!

...but I suppose that's purely based off of vocals

...and they're are new bands coming out with 80's-esque style vocals...

...but they suck... lol

the 80's sucks.

(me so funny)

??????????????

I don't think they sound like 80's vocals. The vocals on Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits are certainly very 80's but on Reign In Blood they stripped off the reverb and that's one of the main reasons why Reign In Blood sounded so cutting-edge at the time

As for the 80's sucking??
Psshhhhhhhh :nono: NO! A lot of really great music came out of the 80's
