I never heard that Wolf album

guess I need to change that in the near future. I got the Black Axe single though which is marvellous.

as long as the could-haves and should-haves show up somewhere in this thread I am content

I see that I really have to step up to the Heavy Metal plate though. that's where my list is thinnest. I blame it on the 90s and my socialization into Black/Death Metal.

No one has mentioned Wallop's 'Metallic Alps' yet. The other day a well-known guy here tried to convince me that it's objectively the best metal album ever

It is, but we're all subjective as hell.

Really...well It's a cool, fun Power/Speed platter for sure, but the vocals are kinda weak, no?

Better not risk it. The thread might self-explode and destroy the whole forum.

Trying to solve a 100x100 Sudoku would be less mindbogling. Forget about it!
