Am I the only one who thought that Evil Empire was a peice of shite?
I like their sound, but that album had way to much filler. Everyday I'll think, "alright, today I'm going to give RATM another try." But I never do.
Keep listening to Favourite Worst Nightmare, it will eventually grow on you. I picked it up the day it came out and put it on but didn't really enjoy it all too much, however I kept on plugging away at it and found it had a hidden charm to it that, far more polished than "Whatever..." was.
Ah I get it now. Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' is certainly more conventional thrash-y song format, they are great though. My younger brother came for a visit and brought his mate who's a reformed metalhead; he basically gave me his hard drive and I asked him to explain all the extreme metal sub-genres. Pig Destroyer are the way forward. There are some great interviews with Napalm Death on the 'tube aswell, those cheeky brummies!
