For me, very few bands who got past 1 or 2 albums managed to capture my attention throughout their careers, because after a few years they all seemed to want to move away from the initial thrash style and "expand as musicians" or "develop thier sound", this list includes MEGADETH, SLAYER, TESTAMENT, FORBIDDEN, ANNIHILATOR,SACRED REICH, DEATH ANGEL, VIO-LENCE, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, SODOM, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, HELLOWEEN, SEPULTURA, SARCOFAGO AND XENTRIX. Some just ran out of ideas and forgot to break up such as METALLICA, VENOM, TANKARD, EXCITER & KREATOR. Some bands went the same way but have redeemed themselves somewhat with reformation and later releases such as DESTRUCTION, ANTHRAX & EXODUS. Other bands always were shit like OVERKILL, AGENT STEEL, ACID REIGN, WARFARE & ZOETROUPE. Some others never released any poor product (so far) and deserve to be worshipped forever like DARK ANGEL, ONSLAUGHT, LAAZ ROCKIT, WHIPLASH & HIRAX. Any comments???

With the exception of 'endorama' or whatever that bollock-stew was called, Kreator's new material ranges from good, to awesome.
Helloween have made some fucking dodgy shit in their career's, enough dodgy shit to class them as a mediocre band, sadly.
And new Anthrax = gayfest

But generally, I agree (For the bands who's discographys I'm familiar with at least)

'Mort is a thrash purist, he only likes the demos normally, and even then will prefer a rough practice tape if one exists. Metallica sold out after Metal Massacre I. :lol:

Destruction are the best pure thrash band on the planet at the moment. I think so anyway.

I hate Overkill more than Testament and I fucking hate Testament.

by "hate" do you mean you dont like their music or is there some other reason which would justify actually hating the band?

They killed my parents!

OK I don't hate them, I dislike their music. They are literally too thrash for me.
