I think the band even realizes this. When I saw them they played SotS in its entirity (but out of order) and only a few songs from the rest of their career. And the crowd went apeshit for anything off SotS and sat on their hands during anything else.

I've recently realized that I like Pantera's pre-Cowboys From Hell output much better.

Rogga Johansson is quite possibly THE most prolific entity in Swedish death metal to date. And also one of the best vocalists in the genre.

I'm hoping he's the new singer for Bloodbath.

Most of these are going to turn out as mostly my opinions,but I'll try my best:

-Eddie Van Halen is "THE" guitar player, I don't care what anybody says.

-Kiss has one of the best live shows (if not the best) of all time.

-Van Halen's debut is their best work

-Creatures Of The Night is Kiss's best work

-I have established that the three best guitar albums of all time are "Van Halen", "Extreme II: Pornograffitti", and "Slip Of The Tongue".These are mostly my opinions, but no one can argue that these albums have extraordinary guitar work on them.

-Motley Crue is "THE" glam metal band

-Crashdiet is "THE" new glam metal band

-Aerosmith is "THE" classic rock band

-Metallica is "THE" metal band

-Rocks is Aerosmith's best work

-Shout At The Devil, Slave To The Grind, Ride The Lighting, Painkiller, Imaginations From The Other Side, and Keeper Of The Seven Keys,Part 1 are some of the best metal records of all time.

So their you go.I could go on and on, but it would take days. Sorry if most of them are really opinionated.

No. I like all first 3 albums much better than Slaughter of the Soul. SotS is indeed their most catchy and well-produced work, but it lacks the dark atmosphere and sheer despair that the old stuff had. I also like the unusual way of writing and arranging riffs that Anders had; it may sound less "professional", but it gave the songs a kind of gloomy feel to the songs, thus making them more interesting. That's only my opinion, because most of the people seem to like SotS, which I do consider as an excellent record, better.

My favourite songs are on Terminal Spirit Disease, but their finest record, if considered as a whole, would be The Red in the Sky Is Ours if you asked me.

I don't think I posted this before, but if I did, then I'm saying it again. Dismember puts all melodic death metal bands, be it Gothenburg or American or whatever, to shame.

Can't say I agree, but I have to say that Like An Ever Flowing Stream and Indecent & Obscene are fucking masterpieces.

My vote goes to Edge of Sanity, naturally. But Dismember would most likely be my second choice.

Well, this one is certainly correct.
