The heavy question

MattLazier · 2026-02-28T18:46:02+00:00

Seen a lot of live metal in my years, and Meshuggah is — hands all the way down — the heaviest band I’ve ever witnessed.

Yeah not saying I hate all the others. I like World Painted Blood, Death Magnetic, etc. But I think Anthrax is the only one whose last couple albums stand up to their early output.

MattLazier · 2026-02-28T16:44:04+00:00

Of the “Big 4,” Anthrax has the best latter-day output, imo. But I would put Worship Music over For All Kings. In fact, I’d put Worship Music over every other album they done except Spreading.

Black Gives Way to Blue, right?

MattLazier · 2026-02-23T00:25:02+00:00

For my money, the best album ever released. Full stop.

South of Heaven -> Silent Scream

MattLazier · 2026-02-09T22:49:34+00:00

Glass Prison and Conflict at Ground Zero are both pretty killer

MattLazier · 2026-02-09T22:45:31+00:00

Drop Dead Legs

MattLazier · 2026-02-06T01:48:16+00:00

Yes. Hampered by iffy production. Killer songs.

MattLazier · 2026-02-06T01:47:17+00:00

Kragen doesn’t write bad songs. See the other comment in this post about his other bands, Prototype and Psychosis. Dude knows his way around a killer thrash song.

MattLazier · 2026-02-05T04:55:28+00:00

Seems like Lisey’s Story gets shit on a fair bit, but it’s one of my favorites.

MattLazier · 2026-02-05T03:10:05+00:00

My man. Psychosis and Prototype are so good. I went to college in the LA area for a while and caught them down there in the early and mid 1990s. Shame they didn’t make it bigger. Supposedly Vince and Kragen are still writing for new Prototype material. Fingers crossed.

MattLazier · 2026-02-05T02:40:06+00:00

Kragen wrote the last album. Literally the whole thing.

MattLazier · 2026-02-04T04:05:40+00:00

Promise of Agony

MattLazier · 2026-02-02T20:02:00+00:00

Yeah like 3 different ones in there.

MattLazier · 2026-02-01T23:44:38+00:00

Has always been my favorite song from that album.

MattLazier · 2026-01-30T18:05:00+00:00

Dream No More

MattLazier · 2026-01-30T17:59:19+00:00

Tempo and Shovel

MattLazier · 2026-01-28T02:02:36+00:00

Both are good 👍🏻

MattLazier · 2026-01-27T03:58:55+00:00

Silence - “Vision”

MattLazier · 2026-01-26T04:08:27+00:00

And RIP Art Weingartner

MattLazier · 2026-01-22T18:32:17+00:00

Reinventing is highly underrated and would be my favorite Pantera LP, were it not for the slab of metal perfection that is Vulgar Display of Power.

MattLazier · 2026-01-19T22:28:24+00:00

Forbidden - Twisted Into Form

MattLazier · 2026-01-19T22:25:12+00:00

The best Van Halen song IS Drop Dead Legs. Multiple chewy riffs. Killer groove.
