Creatures of the Night has always been my favorite from them.
Most of their albums are uneven, the highs are high and the lows are really low.

The Smashes Thrashes and Hits compilation is a good place to start for anyone who wants to see what the fuss is all about.

True. It's like a formula that their albums have 2-3 great tracks and then there's the rest. Also in many cases the studio songs are so much better on their live albums, where they often are rougher and a bit faster.
