Not many things in this world measure up to Zep II.

Good thing it's by a completely different band and part of a different genre then, eh?

I didn't think H.P. would pull that top spot

Well, it's a heavy-as-****, evil song. I'm just sad to see "Leper Messiah" so low. It might not have the same atmosphere, but god damn is that song ****ing heavy.

I can't rank the whole album but the title track is by far the stand out, in my opinion.

I basically ignore the presence of the horrid mix when rating that album because the compositions at the core of the album immensely outweigh that. That **** is no reason to not like an album.

Also my ratings
1) Orion
2) The Thing That Should Not Be
3) Disposable Heroes
4) Master Of Puppets
5) Leper Messiah
6) Welcome home
7) Battery
8) Damage Inc.

The shyte mix has a lot to do with my relative disinterest in Seasons/Abyss
