I sense this will be the start of a longer series of lists. Looking forward to it.
But Slayer getting faster on Seasons than on Reign in Blood? Naaah....

Edit: oops, only now I saw that this is not Feynmann's list. Sorry for the confusion.
This was supposed to be a reply to his post above.

Good point
But this was when death metal was really hitting its stride, JP had their most ferocious album, Schuldiner was getting more technical, Megadeth released their fastest album ("Poison was the cure" is faster than anything off their debut album, right?), and even Necrophobic released one of their first demos, foreshadowing black/death metal

Yah for me the early nineties ware the golden age of old school death metal, my next couple of lists will be dominated by death metal albums, that why I'm limiting there number albums with the same genre to just 4 or 5, I want to add more variety
