Are there any albums you consider perfect?

I find it odd because I have heard of all these groups and am of an age where I could easily have listened to them. That being said, I never made an attempt to listen to them. Would say it's not my type of music but if it's good enough for Kbarkamian to rate as perfect, not good but perfect, I might give it a quick try.

I think Kbarkamian thought his thread was being sent to Audiobong?

What's that supposed to mean? No offense taken. ...or should I?

Timrhu,

Everyone's idea of perfect is different. I'm a big fan of the bands mentioned. Not many Slayer fans here, I assume, but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not the biggest Slayer fan overall, but Reign In Blood is considered by many to be the best thrash metal album of all time. It's an album I've owned since I was about 13, and still haven't lost a bit of interest in it at 35.

Ride The Lightning was from the era when Metallica had an edge and played like they were waving a big middle finger to everyone who didn't like what they were doing. Times have changed, people get older and grow up.

A lot of people consider Metallica's Master Of Puppets to be a perfect album, or at least their best. I think it has several songs on it that are better than anything on Ride The Lightning, but it's got a song I can't stand ("The Thing That Should Not Be"), and 2 others that I skip frequently. But Master Of Puppets' best songs may be Metallica's best songs. Kind of odd.

If you're looking to see what I'm talking about with these albums, I'm sure YouTube has songs from them. No cost to hear something new. That's becoming my new way of hearing new stuff. Saved me some cash and aggravation by not buying stuff I thought was going to be good, but ended up being awful.
