What do you think is the best sounding metal album

The AC/DC original Albert masters are very good. I have both Australian pressings and WEA Canada and they are all good.

Thin metal recording layer coated from aqueous medium Document Type and Number:United States Patent 6132927 Link to this page:http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6132927.html Abstract:A process was disclosed for the preparation of a heat mode recording element comprising a transparent support and a thin metal recording layer, characterized in that said thin metal layer was formed by the following steps: (1) preparing a solution containing metal ions and preferably a binder, (2) reducing said metal ions by a reducing agent, (3) coating said aqueous medium on said transparent support, optionally after removal of superfluous salts.
The process disclosed is less complicated and more economic than previously known methods for applying a thin metal recording film.

YES - is pretty good...."Owner of a Lonely Heart". I agree with AC/DC. Metallica is awful compressed noise. Rush 2112 is not bad too as are Led Zep.

None of the responses so far even come close to "Metal". Try Testament The Gathering, Overkill The Years of Decay, Iron Maiden Brave New World, Judas Priest Sin After Sin, Screaming for Vengance, Scorpions World Wide Live, Tool Antything they have ever released. All on vinyl of course. The digitials are not bad but the wax rules. Listening to Ratt's Best OF 81 to 91 right now. Not all of us audio snobs have our heads up Diana Kralls backside although that Might be fun too.
