-
- Yellow & Black attack EP - *most* triumphant, possibly their best work
- Soldiers Under Command - Not bad
- To Hell with the Devil - getting a little soft, but Michael finally did learn
- how to stop singing and just scream on key
- occasionally
- In God We Trust - Only 2 good songs (In God we trust & the reign)
- Against the Law - new producer, moving back to the raw edge of their earlier
- albums, wider variety of subject matter, just better in
- general than their last two
-
- Also in that time frame:
-
- Yellow and Black attack re-mixes - not as good as the original
- Reason for the season picture disk single - most excellent version of
- "Winter Wonderland"
- Greatest Hits album - name escapes me
-
- >Did the band break up? Do they have another album forthcoming? what
- >happened?
-
- Last I heard, Michael left the band to pursue mellower music and the band
- was going to move back towards its edge. I heard that they had found a
- replacement and that an album from each was forthcoming.
-
- Anyone heard anything more recent?
-
-
- Topher (Metal lives / Mozart forever)
