Reason No. 4 Why the 90's Were Better Than the 80's

Band: Lethargy
Album: It's Hard to Write with a Little Hand
Year: 1996
Genre:  Technical Death Metal
Country: United States

Tracklisting:

1. Carebone
2. Humor Me
3. Create
4. Spill
5. Erased
6. Medley
7. Spineless
8. Thread
9. Among
10. Humorless

Bordering on old school death metal and mathcore, Lethargy's only studio album is an ever twisting instrumental interplay. Songs are loaded with riffs, sudden changed in tempo, odd timing and the occassional blast beat. Good to note that two of the lads went on to play with Today is the Day and then Mastodon.

Honey, I Shrank My Arm

Reason No. 3 Why the 90's Were Better Than the 80's

Band: Megadeth
Album: Rust In Peace
Year: 1990
Genre: Thrash Metal
Country: united States

Tracklisting:

1. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
2. Hangar 18
3. Take No Prisoners
4. Five Magics
5. Poison Was the Cure
6. Lucretia
7. Tornado of Souls
8. Dawn Patrol
9. Rust in Peace... Polaris

‘Rust in Peace’ would have to be Megadeth’s most balanced effort. It’s not a straight forward thrash record and manages to integrate a more technical, melodic and progressive edge into the album. While the vocals are questionable and not to everyone’s taste the musicianship is tight and the lyrics are superb. I wouldn’t  go as far as describing ‘Rust in Peace as a masterpiece but it is an essential album for any collection.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaa

So many ideas, so much devastating sheer power and so primitive.

Released in 1992 and one of those rare albums that immediately became a milestone. A powerful mixture of Funk, Hip-Hop and Metal that is yet to be surpassed.
