Best Albums Of The Decade(2000-2009): #70-69

70.Baroness-Blue Record(2009)




Unlike their previous Red Album, which took time to grow on me. I loved Blue Record right away. Blue Record takes what made Red Album great and just makes it even better. The riffs and harmonies on "The Sweetest Curse" and "Swollen and Halo" are gorgeous. Blue Record is a strangely pretty and full of the sludgey prog metal that Baroness is so good at.


Standout Tracks 1.The Sweetest Curse 2.Swollen and Halo 3.Jake Leg




69.Lazarus A.D-The Onslaught(2009)

When it comes to the "thrash revival" movement, pretty much no one does it better than Lazarus A.D. The Onslaught is one of the most impressive debuts I have heard in my entire life. This is what modern thrash should sound like and they soundly put some of the lesser new thrash acts in their place (*cough cough Evile, Gama Bomb cough cough). The Onslaught is full of sick riffs and furious solos and is a must listen for any thrash fans.

Standout Tracks 1.Thou Shall Not Fear 2.Last Breath 3.Revolution
