I agree entirely. The first two Slayer albums are ridiculously outdated but Reign in Blood sounRAB like is was reorded yesterday. Sepultura's Schizophrenia is one of the best 80's Thrash albums but sounRAB dated too.
 
Dont know if this thread wil work! i have been thinking about old(er) albums that if released today would still feel fresh or ground breaking, i think this should only apply to albums that are 10 years old or older. So i will start it off with these three

Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine (1992)

Still as inovative and original as it was when it was released in 1992

Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales (1984)

Not Tecchnically a thrash metal album but still sounRAB great today 25 years after its first release and IMO the best album they made, Dethroned Emperor one of my top tracks of the genre

The Doors - The Doors (1967)

Years ahead of its time..i would have loved to have been around when this was released even hearing it in its entirity some 20 years after its first release it sounded unique and original.

Not many banRAB are able to blend extreme metal with industrial undertones like Strapping Young Lad was. This album came out in 1997 and it still blows new stuff out of the water.
 
I suppose the best example would be Slayer - Reign In Blood, it could have been recorded yesterday or any time within the past 23 years. It hasn't dated a bit compared to other metal albums released in 1986 such as Master Of Puppets.
 
Seasons in the abyss is a very good album, i rate South of heaven very highly as a Slayer release, but it hard a hard act to follow with Reign in blood..i think thats why it took a while to grow on me, i was expecting more from it initially as i was waiting for it to be released...i am getting old!
 
Ok Show No Mercy does sound very dated..and Hell Awaits does not sound as new as Reign in Blood, but you have to agree that Hell Awaits is one of the best tracks Slayer have done and also one of the greatest album openers...what a build up!
 
ah, i don't have that Celtic Frost album! here's some of mine:

20 years old and still relevant on music today.

in a competition between RHCP and FNM this little bastard easily beats the best the Chili Peppers have to offer.

Orchestral textures, Drum Machines, Juxtaposing vocal styles. This is hugely underated too. Was this the first Avant Garde Metal album? Quite possibly.
 
I Agree with the Slayer but i dont think that Master of Puppets has dated it is my favorite album of the big 4 of that year...agreed thet Reign in Blood is a more groundbreaking and unique album.
 
Sorry for double posting! could not get the two qoutes on...

Come On! Faith No Mores Angel Dust better than anything the chilis can offer....Napalm Death though Awesome!

Maybe we should just use debut albums as that the first time you hear the band, so in that respect the debut Faith No More album is very good:thurab:
