I suppose I'd have to say I don't really pay attention to critics/sales figures, so I can't really say anything.

I guess Black Flag's post My War stuff and Bad Brains' later material comes to mind.
The Great Southern Trendkill wasn't critically acclaimed and that kicked ass! Possibly better than RTS.

i don't like that one bit, i must, however, confess I have a soft spot for "Turbo"

and this one also:-



considered as one of their "weaker" albums, but I think the songwriting is sterling here, has one of their best songs "Here Comes President Kill Again"

and a second best in "Chalkhills & Children"

and i don't mind the 80s production, not one iota

This is one I'm going to have to hear in full again, but I do have memories of it. I do remember a couple of reviews, one in a UK publication that was very short lived called Offbeat, that actually judges the album by pairing up sides - possibly hinting that it could have used some editing in that opinion. It's been years, so past my Late 80's Teenage Wilderness I should check it out again, although I always had a like for "The Mayor of Simpleton."

That's a very good album, I like it. I've never been a fan of British Steel, actually, which was my first Priest exposure. Ram it Down was my second and I felt like it was far better than BS, from then on I began to backtrack into Priest's other discography. The title track is fantastic and my only complaint with the album is the Johnny B. Good cover, I really didn't fancy that one.

I like essentially all Halford Priest, including Ram It Down.

RTS was weak for them imo. Could go almost any way with my top 3 Pantera albums, GST is slightly behind them, but not by much.

Imo:

1. Far Beyond Driven

2. Vulgar Display of Power

3. Cowboys From Hell

4. Great Southern Trendkill

5. Reinventing The Steel

6. Early Power/Hair Metal stuff, it's objectively alright, but too un-Pantera-like to dig IMO.
