I think the problem is that entire cover, including the type, was done with an airbrush. That's why it looks like something you'd get painted on a t-shirt in some booth at a county fair.

It wasn`t a reference to the album, but more of a reference to hearing voices inside your head from these albums

As for Slayer, even a poor Slayer album is still a great listen! I love the group that much.

Hell Awaits is my favorite Slayer album.

I don't like either I'm afraid. Both have an amateurish quality that I just can't seem to overcome and I have to be in the mood to listen to Possessed's Beyond The Gates too. Both important albums and they have many fans but both smack of a band trying to find their identity.

Abstain.

Ok Possessed win that one 6-2. Next up courtesy of Loathsome Pete who shares his home with Old Nick, is the Strapping Young Lad thrash/industrial magnum opus versus the Fear Factory groove/industrial magnum opus, as always take a few lines explaining your vote.

Strapping Young Lad City 1997

Versus

Fear Factory Demanufacture 1995

Strapping Young Lad wins it easily for me. They're quirky and fun while Fear Factory is just dull. I feel like I need to point that neither have much of anything to do with industrial though.

City: 1
Demanufacture: 0

Pete may disagree with you there.

What would you classify them as.

I don't know maybe "metal with slight electronic touches". I just don't see them as having much in common with the likes of Throbbing Gristle or Einstürzende Neubauten.

I always think FF as being a combo of death, groove and industrial, and a band like Ministry as being full blown industrial metal.

I've never really gotten into Devin Townsends music from the albums I've heard and I really can't seem to remember too much about the City album either, I'm even wondering now if I've even heard it

. From you saying it wins hands down, and wiki saying its one of the best metal albums of the 90s, this will have me giving it a listen later on today. As for the FF album I think that is a classic, making me even more intrigued now to listen to the City album.
