Exodus, best older album?
 

I have really enjoyed listening to the new Exodus album "The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A" and wanted to try to seek out older material by them. From reviews, some of it is consitered classic, others aren't the greatest.

Fabulous Disaster is one of there best.
Force of Habit is great but underratted
Tempo Of The Damned is a great album (that was their reunion album, the reunion only lasted a year)

Bonded By Blood.

Fab was OK, but I was more of a Paul Baloff (sp? it's been years) fan.

I would recommend Bonded by Blood and Fabulous Disaster as well, possibly Pleasures of the Flesh but it not as consistent of an album as the aforementioned (I like "Seeds of Hate" and "Chemi-Kill" though).

I thought Another Lesson in Violence was a good live album and it features Paul Baloff on vocals.

I really like the style of Bonded by Blood and Fabulous Disaster, there are some awesome tracks on there. Pleasure of the Flesh is another good one. I recently saw the video for Impact is Imminent but was bummed to find out the Cd is OOP and routinely sells for about $30 on Amazon and ebay.

I was not too impressed with Impact is Imminent when I got it but it is an okay album. I seem to recall seeing Force of Habit in a lot of used CD bins in the mid-90s in college.

"Bonded By Blood". It's a classic. THE album that all other Exodus albums will be compared to. Ever.

Oh reeeeeeally? I may have to try to find mine! :D

"Fabulous Disaster" should be your first purchase, followed by "Pleasures of the Flesh".

I never cared for "Impact is Imminent" (aside from the title track), but "Force of Habit" was a good rebound. The capuchin monkey phone call still cracks me up.

"Which are the most tender?"
"Do you mean which ones make the best pets?"
"No I'm making Monkey soup"
" .... What ?!?"

or something like that
