I think that the albums listed below are underrated.
Even those albums that are rated more than 8.6, should've made it to the top 200, or higher in that list. It's not only the score, but also the low amount of attention from the metal community to some of these albums.
Albums are in no particular order.
No, I am not fond of Euro power metal.

1.Anthrax - Among The Living

2.Anthrax - Fistful Of Metal

3.Anthrax - Sound Of White Noise

4.Biohazard - State Of The World Address

5.Danzig - Danzig 4

1.Megadeth - Rust In Peace

2.Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

3.Megadeth - Endgame

4.Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction

**Trigger warning**

Albums and EPs rated 8.6+ from 100+ votes which I've given an 8 or lower to.

I've listened to and rated every album on MS that meets this criteria (at time of most recent update) - some of them multiple times - so I feel I can give my honest opinion.

The purpose of this is to list and order the albums that I simply don't "get" and to try re-listening to them in the hope of understanding why they've received so many 9 and 10 votes.

Ordered by my rating then MS rating then number of votes.
