Your Favourite Out Of These Underrated Rock Albums

I went for Risk by Megadeth, have always liked it, yes it is the oddball in their catalogue, but I think there are some really decent tunes on there. While I quite like Load, personally I think Re-Load is the album of that period that deserves the real criticism.

 

To be honest I am more a fan of 80s Rush, but every since the film, Beyond the Lighted Stage, I have always been meaning to go back to Caress of Steel and reacquaint myself with it. Maybe I’ll do that tonight ...

Rush, no question. That's my favorite classic Rush album 

Being as I'm a huge 'Dead fan gonna have to go with 'Anthem of the Sun'....'love all their stuff!!

Caress of Steel.

Caress of Steel....love that album !!! But I picked Saxon Power & The Glory. That album blew me away back in 80something......The Eagle Has Landed...brutal song...I think I blew out some car speakers back in the day playing it so loud.

Boy . . .
(Again- I have been reminded of how I felt about that DT album and watching the Vid . . .)
That album had to grow on me but I ended up liking it alot!  The song that I still cant listen to is
"Burning my Soul", only for the reason that "Producer" (PRODUCER!!!???)  "Kevin Shirley" wanted
everyone to try "new things" and suggested that Petrucci try adding a "Voice Box" vocal in it . 
Luckily, when they do it live, its nowhere to be found.
This was pressure from the Label wanting DT to be more commercial and almost broke up the band.
You can "see" all this on the excellent Vid "5 Years in a Livetime".
Their were tracks that did not make the Album but are Bonus Tracks on the Japanese version (And
can be found on the Club CD "Cleaning out the Closet").
Including a beautiful track called "Speak to me" and "Have I lost my mind" that are played live on the

I thought that Load was still a good album.  Maybe more commercial sounding than earlier Metallica, but I think that it still had a good Metallica sound to it.

I think Load gets more criticism than it deserves.  There's a bit of filler on it, but there are plenty of great songs to make up for it: "Until It Sleeps", "King Nothing", "Hero Of The Day" among others.  It may be non-metal of me to say it, but those are classic Metallica songs.
