Listen to what else came out in 1985. That album is pretty fucking ridiculous. It also still stands up today as a solid thrash/death album.

Don't know about "light years", but they're definitely better.



These are all just dumb.

Agreed except I personally don't like Tom Morello's style

And this is why opinions exist.

Not really about any band in general... but...

People who play music and people who listen to music have two completely different views on what "Good" is. I have a lot of friends who will listen to a certain band, album, song, etc... and say how awesome it is. I listen to it and wonder "WTF are they talking about? This is the most mediocre song I have ever heard!" or even "This sucks."

This. Just...this summarizes almost every musical debate I've gotten into recently.

That's fair enough, but that's very different to "sucks".

Except what you said wasn't opinion. "I don't like X guitar player" is opinion. "X guitar player sucks" isn't.

I kept hearing "Their new album is awesome!" So I checked it out... I was so bored. I didn't even want to finish the album, but I wanted to give it a fair chance....
