Favorite project from George Ochoa

I've listened recently to the remaster of Recon's Behind Enemy Lines and the Worldview disc. It got me thinking, what is your favorite project(s) that George Ochoa was involved with?

I only know about Worldview so far   I might want to check out Deliverance, since I understand it's like a classic in the "christian metal" genre.

I went with Recon.  I like the music and songs there, but the singer takes away from it some.

I like Worldview's singer much better.  In a perfect world where I am the puppet master, George would recut that album and use Rey Parra to sing on it.  Then, the world would bow at my feet.

While I do like Recon, I don't like the new remaster.  It is just too bass heavy and causes ear fatigue if you turn it up like metal should be.

I didn't know he played on PRM.  How did I miss that.  I haven't voted yet because I need to listen to these again.

What A Joke for me. It's an absolute shredfest.  

Weapons for me. You know, I didn't like the Worldview record all that much, I just didn't think it had near enough shred.

Voted for Released Upon the Earth, but really all the heavy stuff is great -- Deliverance, VR, and Mort.  I've tried several times the past few decades to like Recon and it's just so bland and irritating to my ears.  Haven't heard Worldview but I can't usually listen to bands with terrible names. 

Well, Weapons is probably the best album I have ever heard (from any band in any genre at anytime). It holds a special place in my heart, so I couldn't vote for another album.

But I love all of their projects, but for Mortification album, which is good, but not great, and VR album, which I have never listened to. Somehow, I can't listen to VR for too long. The vocals annoys me a bit.

Of the ones listed, I've listened to Behind Enemy Lines the most.  The two Deliverance releases are also excellent and, to me, that's the most listenable Mort release.  I really can't choose.

After looking at this list I realize Ochoa is probably my favorite guitarist ever

Worldview is the best modern release out of any classic bands

Recon's album is one of my top 3 glam/power albums ever

Big D's Weapons and What A Joke are in my top 5 thrash albums

and Vengeance's Released and Morti's PRM are my personal fave releases by two of my favorite bands

I would add a bit of a caveat on the Deliverance albums. While George certainly played his part, Jimmy is no slouch on playing the guitar either.

I still find this video of Jimmy and George hilarious.

**WARNING** This video could lead you on a rabbit trail....

I have a life phylosofy that if there's a poll of better in anything and Weapons... is there as a option, I will vote Weapons.

But either Heroes Ochoa is extremely talented or he is extremely lucky, because I enjoy basically everything he has done.
In fact, I think it's a mix between talent and luck.

Talented dude.

I love several of these, but it’s gotta be Weapons. Just a perfect thrash album.

I didn‘t know he was in all of these. I went with Weapons but I really like Recon, WaJ and Released as well. Classic stuff. Worldview isn‘t half bad either.

6+ year old bump!


Yeah, Weapons. We're all so "basic," aren't we?

Weapons, Recon, Worldview.

.

Recon for me by a landslide.

1. Weapons 
2. Joke
3. Primitive

I actually like all of these, but Weapons is by far my favorite.
