Re: Favorite third thrash album?

That’s why Tourniquet were so great! Ted knew how to combine his avant-garde tendencies with a catchy hook. POD is the best example of that!

I have listened to Believer Dimensions dozens of times these past weeks and it‘s starting to finally grow on me. Trilogy is a masterpiece. However, I still like Extraction and Sanity more, they are just more accessible, may I use the word catchy? Dimensions is more demanding and you have to spend time with it, undoubtedly a great album but it feels somehow unfinished/incoherent with six songs of a similar style and then the monolithic trilogy which is a thing of it‘s own. Maybe the should have put out the Trilogy as an EP and written two or three mor „regular“ songs for to go with the other six for the third album. Just rambling, thx for reading.

You know you don’t need to announce that you deleted if you come back soon after you posted and hit the little box with the x in it.

It only works until someone else writes a response.

Yeah I figured you had a few drinks. Luckily you weren’t one of the combative types (at least not towards me). Haha

POD for sure. Just a fantastic adventure from start to finish.

That's good. I think most of it was incoherent jibberish, but I could type DELETED just fine, lol.

You Saved some of my drunken ramblings... Favorite third thrash album? - Page 2 1f602

Torn between Pathogenic and Dimensions...

I guess I'll go with Dimensions

by StevenCressler Sun Dec 17, 2023 4:02 pm

Tbh, I'll go with What a Joke. I think I rated several songs on it too high, and several on POD too low, so I'm sure that will change after a rescore (and I don't count the joke tracks), but for now it's WaJ

Very unpopular opinion apparently, but I’m actually not too big a fan of POD, with the exception of a couple of songs. Way better than the two albums to follow, but the transition from more melodic vocals of the previous albums (especially StB) to mostly shouting/barking was a move in the wrong direction imo

by TZ75 Sun Dec 17, 2023 5:29 pm

Tourniquet - POD
Deliverance - What A Joke
Vengeance Rising - Destruction Comes

by TZ75 Sun Dec 17, 2023 5:30 pm

It’s too bad many bands quit after two or three albums…

Stb sounds like a cat on helium half the time.

Even though I love it, I agree that it's overrated. I prefer MVoaTR and AB

POD is the greatest metal album in Christian music, you crazy people.

Nah, the falsetto on that album is great. I normally wouldn't like stuff like that, but I think it sounds really good. Actually, reading this made me decide to put on Ready or Not lol

I wonder why they went cold turkey on the falsetto vocals? It would have been an even better album had they just mixed it in some like Sacred Warrior's "The Flood." Ted must've just bent the knee to the current trends where old-school metal just wasn't cool anymore. I know he laid out some rules on POD like they were to avoid thrash cliche's like 'cut time' (think of the Master of Puppets chorus).

by Pethead Mon Dec 18, 2023 12:06 pm

From what I understand, the response to the vocals on StB was mixed. Then Guy left during POD at least in part because the music was getting too heavy for his tastes. At least I believe Guy said that was one of the reasons in an interview I read a few years ago.

I don’t think it had to do with trend-hopping. It’s not as if PS and POD are just aping what was currently popular. It’s also interesting to note that Guy doesn’t use any falsetto on Polarized.
