Barely qualify as 90s albums:
Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth- Rust in Peace

Good albums but these bands released better albums in the 00s:
Meshuggah- Destroy Erase Improve
Neurosis-Through Silver in Blood

Examples of why I don't rate 90s metal very highly:
Pantera- A Vulgar Display of Power
Korn- Korn
Machine Head- Burn My Eyes
White Zombie- La Sexorcisto

The rest are not albums I've heard.
The Slayer and Megadeth albums may be 80`s in spirit but they have 1990 release dates. Have to disagree over Neurosis and Meshuggah. Despite the fact I love their material that I`ve heard in the 00`s as well.

The last four that you don`t like, well they are all commercial of which 3 are groove metal and 1 nu-metal, and as they say its just a question of choice here.
