1986. 40 years later.
Chris ODonnellClearly not an 80s metal album, but every 80s metal kid was listening to this in 1986, even if they wouldn't admit it in public.
It holds up amazingly well. It sounds relevant in 2026. -
1986
JamesLoud, crude, and engineered to get a reaction. The production is tight even when the attitude isn’t. It plays up its own obnoxiousness as part of the design. More calculated than it first appears from a band that was way smarter than they first appeared.

Joseph SandersFirstly-crazy album cover
Such a fun album!!! Shock Mike Shinoda is inspired by these dudes. I can see a lot of them in linkin park songs. Proper hybrid theory - rock and rap is possible!
Also heard some Beatles in this album.
