Alright, after careful consideration, I've got to give it to The Blackening. Like I said earlier, I start getting tired of Burn My Eyes after about halfway through the album, while The Blackening works much better as an actual album when listened to the whole way through. It may not quite have a "Davidian", but overall it is superior. Not to mention more diverse.
It was a bit harder choosing between Unto the Locust and The Blackening, because they're both similar and there isn't a dip in quality with Unto the Locust. Since I haven't had weeks to compare the two, I'm gonna have to go with my initial impression, which is that UtL is a bit less abrasive and thrashy than The Blackening. It reminds me a bit more of FFDP, but not actually in a bad way. Unto the Locust is more like FFDP's more talented big brother. But, it's still just a bit more generic than The Blackening, so...
The Blackening - 1
Burn My Eyes - 0
Unto the Locust - 0
