You know the idea that usually a band's first few albums, or at least first few once the classic line-up gets together are the best ones, and after a while nothing matches up ?
What albums from really late in a band's career do you think are awesome? Things like Megadeth's Endgame or perhaps the last AC/DC album for example. |

Holos Stali by Nokturnal Mortum, their most recent album was made almost 20 years into their career, is my most favourite album of all time.
Also, Rush's new album kicks tremendous amounts of ass, pretty fascinating consider the band have been together for almost 40 years into their career.

The recent albums by Iron Maiden come to mind - I even consider A Matter of Life and Death to be one of their finest.

I also forgot to mention the newer releases by Burzum, Cannibal Corpse, Dream Theater, and Symphony X (to name but a few). Although all of those acts may be past their 'prime', their albums released in the last year or so are all kick-ass.

AMoLaD is actually my least favourite Maiden record. That said, Brave New World is my most favourite Maiden record.

Napalm Death continue to release some great albums lately. Their newest one is certainly impressing me.

Kreator and Exodus are doing wonders for me.

I forgot about Napalm Death! Their newest album is one of my favorite releases this year. There's also Fates Warning, if you would consider the Arch / Matheos album to be a FW release. That one is a masterpiece IMO. |

The one problem I have with their latest two albums is that they're too long. Music like that gets grating when the album is 50 minutes long. But for what it's worth, it is some pretty good music.

From what I've heard, Motorhead's Inferno is meant to be one of their best. Can anyone back that up ?

...he he it�s hard to say. Most of their recent albums are very similar in style and sound. I personally prefer "Overkill" but that�s just my opinion.

Man, I agree with you 100%! A Matter of Life and Death is one of the best albums of Maiden!

The (unfortunately) last album of Celtic Frost, Monotheist, is really excellent. A masterpiece!

I actually own that album on CD, but I haven't listened to it for ages. I remember finding it fairly average, though. |

This normally gets people hostile, but I prefer the three latest Slayer albums to anything they did before.

...yeah you definitely got me in a hostile mood there
 ...no seriously I like the last two albums a lot too. Can�t say I have much love for God Hates Us all though, but it�s been a long time since I gave it a spin, so maybe me view has changed. It�s been known to happen . |
