Stone Temple pilots and Soundgarden both left me cold. I can't recall ever listening to anything by The Screaming Trees, back in the days when I listened to a shedload of rock stuff.

Back in those days, I did like the 2 albums Dio made with Sabbath. Those two were much better than their '76 release from the band

Slayer slowed down , superb lyrics , clear and easy to hear

Powerful riffing , tight bass and drums

I can't stand silly speed metal , this sort of thing is top draw for metal heads with half a brain

The power might be too much for some , that's fine but it's not screaming nonsense with guitar solos so fast it's silly ��
