The best albums of the best thrashers in the world. Which one owns the others!?

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on almost all points here bro.

As for Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica being the best. I disagree 100%. The biggest? yes. But not the best.

I feel Dark Angel, Overkill, Sarcofago and Early Sepultura all did it better. I've always thought of Overkill as the Epitome of great thrash metal, while the other three I listed are examples of how far the genre can be pushed.

Secondly, While I feel Rust In Peace is Megadeth's best work, I have to disagree with the other two selection. I think Seasons In the Abyss is a much more solid release than Reign in Blood. It even shows some diversity, which is rare for slayer.

While Master of Puppets is a good album, I think Kill 'Em All is Metallica's finest moment and their most aggressive work. Its Metallica at its most pure.

PS- To answer your question though, RIP by far.

Well alright... I myself find all 3 albums equally good. - And actually i find Metallicas first three albums equally good aswell. I just wanted one from each band, so i picked the mostly regocnized

I agree that Overkill is exceptionally good at what they're doing, but they'll never join the four horsemen; Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer in my book.

- Thank you for the answer anyway.

Reign In Blood, no competition. Rust In Peace isn't even thrash metal, and Master Of Puppets is overrated, and was the point when Metallica started going downhill....whereas Reign In Blood is orgasmic.

Hail to Metalthroners!!! I agree with Metalian again. There're better albums that can be shown as "battle flag" of each band. And more agressive.
I think rust in peace is a GREAT album, but it isn't in the same line of master of puppets. It can be far-compared to kill'em all. Don't you think so?

i have seen megadeth live twice, they are overrated and not that much chop if you ask me, their best album is so far so good, and that is mediocre at best... anyway to answer your question specifically, master, although i agree with you that the first three metallica albums are equally classic.... as are the first 3 slayer albums.... its a shame what happened to those 2 bands after such a good start..

also overkill are one of the lamest bands i have ever heard
and the best thrash album anin my mind, at the moment
is agent orange from sodom
