Worship Music. Although I liked WPB. Their best album since Divine and a decent enough end to their career.

Anthrax, of course. Great album, their best since Persistence (their actual best), it had no right to be as good as it was when you consider all of the shenanigans beforehand. WPB is forgettable and TSHF is just poor, with one or two decent tracks on it.

 Re: TEN in 2010... umm, well no... and Metallica are out!
I'm a big fan of all three albums so this is actually quite tricky.
I've championed WPB since Day 1 and I still think it's better than Diabolus, Christ Illusion, most (but not all) of God Hates Us All, and even some of Divine intervention. Of course it's not going to touch the first five albums but it's definitely a highlight of the latter stages of their career.
However, Worship Music was just stunning. I don't know whether it's because my expectations weren't high or something, but I just wasn't expecting that.
The System Has Failed, for me, is one of Megadeth's best post-Rust albums. The balance between heaviness and melody was almost spot on, and The Scorpion and Back in the Day are two of my favourite Megadave tracks. Shamefully underrated album.

 Re: TEN in 2010... umm, well no... and Metallica are out!
I haven't listened to TSHF for a long time, I definitely like 'Kick the Chair' and 'Die, Dead Enough', and the title track. But then I remember some of the later tracks being really shite.
I really couldn't get on with the Slayer album at all, and Worship Music is probably Anthrax's best, or very close to it.

Not that clued up on the later Anthrax & Megadeth (after Vol.8). Probably listened to them once. So its Slayer! Only liked The Day That Never Comes on DM.

Didn't like Worship Music. Slayer gets it again.

Anthrax win this one easy. Worship Music just has everything a Anthrax album should.
World Painted Blood is fucking solid, but disappointingly, nothing on it really stands out.
That Megadeth one... Well, Megadave had remembered how to play the guitar again. He just couldn't write any fucking decent songs...

Megadeth Anthrax Slayer
Megadeth's last album with Mustaine's vocals in good shape and with some excellent songs. At first I was disappointed because the first song that got out was Kick the Chair (which is awesome) that turned out to be the best song on the album, so... But I later came to appreciate it for what it was and the truth is it has some brilliant moments (like Die Dead Enough, Scorpion, Back in the Day).
The Anthrax is a very good album, a true comeback, it was almost touching to hear them back again in form. Still, it comes down to individual songs that stayed most with me, so I gave it to Megadeth.
World Painted Blood is, like Christ Illusion, a decent Slayer album, in the sense that Brave New World or Dance of Death are decent Iron Maiden albums. Mostly for the fans that is and with few songs that can uphold the legacy of their classics. I do have a soft spot for Psychopathy Red though.

Anthrax had a few good songs on this album, mainly due to getting Belladonna back in the band. Slayer and Megadeth are garbage and need to retire, 3/5 album for Anthrax but even that surpasses anything by the other two acts

Shamefully underrated album.s I was listening to 'Back In The Day' yesterday afternoon. Cracking tune. The Scorpion is great too. It sounds like a harder edged castaway from the Youthanasia sessions (in a good way). It probably sounds better now than it did in 2004.
