Britains Sabbat are one of the more underrated thrash metal acts of the 80's, After hearing this album numerous times it really boggles my mind as to why that is, Dreamweaver (Reflections of our yesterdays) has all the ingredients necessary to make a classic thrash metal album; blistering riffs, amazing lyrics, great songwriting and a solid production combine together to create (in my opinion) one of the best thrash metal albums ever created.

Totally unique take on thrash. Excellent vocals and the album has that sort of doomy vibe that only Reverend Bizarre can conjure. In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend feels like this album played at a slower pace. These are the kind of albums that naysayers and charlatans who propagate false lists of mediocre albums as masterpieces should be forced to listen to. A top 10 essential thrash album.

You are not metal enough until you visit Kenya. The cradle of mankind, where man learnt first to work with stones and first enjoyed the sounds produced by banging stones which later influenced metal in all its sounds and genres.

Fullack, although I instantly reversed when you referred to the Reverend's reference.
But whatcha think of History Of A Time To Come?
Both albums are quite on par, but Walkyier & Co. didn't have to comply with the limitations of a concept album, back then. Thus, I think their first attempt was even slightly better.
Please bow to the mightiness of History as well, will ya?

I was yet to listen to a History Of A Time To Come but from initial listens it sounds even faster, meaner and more intense than Dreamweaver. I am a sucker for fast paced, intense and in your face thrash and for now i give History Of A Time To Come the edge but i will have to listen to them back to back to decide which is superior, but without a doubt both merit at least a 9/10.

Does anyone else have this on vinyl? My OG copy sounds bloody awful. I'm wondering whether more recent pressings sound any better.

HOATTC sounds a heck of a lot better. I always preferred that LP.
