"Testament and Anthrax went Pantera in the '90s, while Megadeth and Metallica went the mom-and-pop radio rock route. We just kept it Slayer."

The production on God hates us all is painful.

Slayers studio shit has always sucked. South of heaven makes me fall asleep

bragging about not evolving artistically loleeeee

diabolus in musica says otherwise

Why do boomers say the lamest shit and mic drop like we're all supposed to be in awe of their epicness

I don't know about Testament, but Time is the greatest song Anthrax wrote and it doesn't remind of Pantera.
Also, Slayer is reduced to being a gimmick band whose fans have to apologise/explain to media "why they like this aggressive music" instead of chasing the reporter away.

Is there a single 80s metal band that didn't go to shit in the late 90s or early 00s
>Metallica
>Megadeth
>Anthrax
>Slayer
>Testament
>Judas Priest
>Iron Maiden
>Dio
It's impressive how all of them managed to go to garbage at roughly the same time

metallica went trash earliest

Time is a cover so they didn't even write it

>rick rubin

no wonder

Iron Maiden didn't go garbage

Also

Manilla Road
Motorhead (according to their fans)

Anthrax actually progressed with Sound of White Noise after Persistence of Time.

God Hates Us All wasn't a bad sounding album. Most people think it has better production over Divine Intervention, but the rawness of Divine and more aggressive nature makes it stand heads and shoulders over GHUA

Diabolus in Musica was Slayer trying to capture South of Heaven part 2, but it was an overall awful album

Wouldn't it be fair to say Megadeth goes from awesome to shit to mediocre to awesome?

same with maiden. they went to shit but brave new world, and their 2006 album was great

Divine Intervention is one of their better albums. I prefer it to seasons and it's fresh sounding after hearing reign in blood so much.

Slayer released the same exact album over and over their entire career

Nevermind dude, i was thinking of Got The Time

everything on Divine Production is flawlessly produced except the guitars. Tom's bass, vocals, and Bostaph's drums are god tier.

>Diabolus in Musica was Slayer trying to capture South of Heaven part 2
lol no
Diabolus was Hanneman trying to carve out a new sound for Slayer in the sea of death, groove, and nu metal that was the american metal scene in the 90's, with very mixed results. Bitter Peace is a fucking banger nonetheless.

well once you understand that all of these bands had been playing for over 10 years at that point it's pretty comprehensible that they would change styles both because they were bored of playing their old stuff and also because bills needed to be paid
the fact that the Black Album shits all over whatever any of these bands put out in the 90's (except Testament - The Gathering) is proof that Metallica are songwriting gods.

Megadeth was great, went to shit and then returned back to great with one slight hiccup we like to ignore (Super Collider)

Mr. Big, sort of. After Gilbert left and Kotzen came in, they did a really funky and bluesy hard rock album that's up there with their best shit but then immediately followed it up with a really limp attempt at doing pseudo-alternative radio rock.
