My favorite is "Another Lesson in Violence" 97 live album. It's "Bonded By Blood" on steroids with the tracks Baloff did for "Pleasures of the Flesh" and The Impaler. The audio quality is outstanding plus you get Baloff's banter between the songs.
As far as I'm concerned, "Bonded by Blood" will always be the album that defined them. One of the greatest debuts of all time, it defined a sound for the Bay area thrash scene. The only problem was, Paul Baloff was their Paul Di'anno. His path to self destruction was what stopped them from going from the Big Four to the Big Five.
I've only actually heard a couple of Exodus albums. I was late to the party, like what I've have heard and will no doubt be picking up more in the future. Great to hear your thoughts and recommendations!
Ahh yes, Paul Baloff, the singer of my "Thrash Never Dies" dream lineup mega-band Paul Baloff - vocals Nick Menza - drums Cliff Burton - bass Jeff Hanneman - rhythm guitar Chuck Schuldiner - lead guitar Just imagine...
Hey man, greatly enioy Exodus, I very consistent band in the Thrash category, and I think Gary is such an underrated songwriter, similar to Skolnick in that regard. My top #3 here: #1 - Tempo of the Damned (2004) This one is by far my favorite Exodus record, I love the production during this time period of thrash (the 2000's revival if you will). Scar Spangled Banner, Blacklist, Sealed with a Fist, the title track? Man the whole album is brutal, melodic and heavy at the same time somehow. Cannot help but sing along to Blacklist when it comes on. It's up there with Testament's Formation of Damnation for me, which says a lot if you know how much I love that record. #2 - Fabulous Disaster: A classic in the genre, I think Exodus was the best thrash band for chanting / sing-alongs, like listen to Fabulous Disaster and Toxic Waltz and try not to chant along. So good, Zetro really is like a thrash Bon Scott / Brian Johnson vocally speaking. #3 - Blood In Blood Out I love this one as of late, it really reminds me of Tempo of the Damned, a "sophomore album" for Tempo if that makes sense. Black 13, Nothing, Collateral Damage, so many great tracks. It's mixed well as well, my only issue with this is that I feel it's a little long coming it at about an hour. (Wanted to check this video out as I've got Exodus' concert in November, and am going through the albums again) Cheers brother, gotta respect you having Pleasures of the Flesh so high! Many seem to dismiss it as a "sophomore slump" record for some reason! Personally I'm not a big fan of Baloff's vocals to be honest, I'd take the Dukes albums over Bonded by Blood personally (sacrilegious I know)... but massive respect because he was Thrash personified.
Fabulous Disaster is the only one I have heard... and I had the cassette and played it so many times that the tape eventually snapped... So it ranks #1... and I wonder if I loved it so much... why did I not get more? Answer: I was stupid!
Looks like I'm gonna always be in that minority of people who love Force of Habit. I only disliked 2 songs off of it aka Bitch and Me Myself and I. Architect of Pain. Good Day to Die. One Foot in the Grave. Force of Habit. Count Your Blessings. Thorn in my Side. I love them damn songs!
Pre-ordered the new Exodus album today via Nuclear Blast America.....I'm sure you're going to pre-order this one! Got some heavy hitters this year: Iron Maiden, Exodus, Megadeth too?!?
I pre-ordered last night , I knew I wouldn’t sleep unless I got it done , I slept like a baby lol . I can’t wait for some of these albums to come out ! Hope all is good Chris 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I really loved this albums' ranking, I feel bad "discovering" the video with some delay. Although I'm a 90's kid (10+ years younger than you) I would totally make the exact same ranking, I even agree in the Rob Dukes point of view. As far as "bonded by blood" it sure is one of my top 5 thrash albums (or maybe top 3), and inargurably one of the most crucial and top class for the whole genre! Keep up this good stuff brother! Cheers and wish you the best from Greece!
Thanks for the kind words 🤘 much appreciated ! I like doing ranking videos , it’s a great conversation starter ! Did you watch Murder In The Front Row ? Awesome Documentary on the San Francisco Bay thrash scene in the 80s , I’m sure you’ve heard about it , anyway it was nice to see Exodus get some love , definitely talked about how important of a album Bonded By Blood was & still is ! Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘 Stay Heavy , Stay Safe :))
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 You too! Thank you for the responce and the positive vibe, true Metal lovers are like this! I' ve heard about and searched it in full version in the past but didn't spot anything and I guess I got dissapointed at some time. Fortuntely I've seen most stuff like "Get Thrashed" or biographical stuff like "Blood and Dirt" DVD from Vio-lence ect and it's always one of the best times when I find this material but sadly I still haven't seen this one!..The Bay Area thrash scane is one of the best things that happened to Metal imo!
Nice review. I would have "The Atrocity Exhibition-Exhibit A" much higher. What a monster of an album that is. I also think "Shovel Headed Kill Machine" is bad ass. I like Souza fine, but his vocals are a little cartoony. Minor complaint though. Solid discography.
My favorite is another lesson in violence. The album never gets old because of baloff's charisma what he says to the crowd is hilarious and the guitars are a bit down tuned so its a bit heavier.
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I love any help you can offer me.
Great video mate!! Yeah "zet" is the main man for me too! Was lucky enuff to see them in Liverpool not long ago, they were awesome, had the place bouncing!! Good friendly violent fun! FD is the 1st album I heard & loved by them, so for me I would have to slip that up the list to 1, but that's only coz it's the one that I'm the most familiar with. Since hearing BBB & POTF it's so hard to separate all 3!! All classics imo! Nice one dude, take care mate!! 🤘🏻
Cool list, Darcy. Glad you had "Bonded by Blood" as your #1 - it's by far their best album ("let there be blood" was kind of pointless, why re-record a classic?) Paul Baloff was a great frontman for Exodus and Thrash Metal in general (he and the band were in excellent form on The Ultimate Revenge video from '85), also love the live album "Another Lesson In Violence" too, cheers.
I'm gonna trigger y'all, but these are my favs imo 1. Exhibit B 2. Shovel Headed... 3. Blood In... Blood Out 4. Atrocity Exhibit A 5. Fabulous Disaster 6. Bonded By Blood 7. Tempo... 8. Pleasures... 9. Impact is imminent 10. Force of Habit
Thanks for sharing your list ! As far as the Dukes era goes Exhibit A is my favourite , I got to see them on the Exhibit B tour , so heavy , they crushed it , got to meet the whole band at the merch booth after , good times ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Your videos are great man. I like Force Of Habit, am I in the minority? My favourite is Pleasures Of The Flesh. Most underrated one is Impact Is Imminent. His vocals always reminded me a little of Bon Scott. Don’t really like the newer ones as much.
Fabulous has a good cover of Overdose , nice Bon era tune ! Impact is a good album , Only Death Decides what a killer song ! I’ll try & get more ranking videos done , I’ve been asked to rank King Diamond , so that’s next ✔️ thanks for watching 👀
That’s a killer top 5 , can’t argue there ! I’m not a big fan of the Rob Dukes era , but the music on The Atrocity Exhibition - Exhibit A is awesome , give it try ! Thanks for watching Joshua 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I actually love Force of habit - its rifftastic. My fav is Fabulous Disaster, followed by Impact is Imminent, then Pleasures of the flesh and then Force of habit and Tempo of the damned. Im not a Baloff fan or a Dukes fan much although i do have them all i just dont play them much.
Dukes just didn't really stand out. He didn't have a "quality" that made him stick out from the crowd. He sounded like a lot of other "modern" singers from the time, whereas Zetro had a style all his own. Tempo of the Damned is very good. A couple songs I really don't care for, but I LOVE "Blacklist". That one always gets me headbanging. "Impaller" is killer! I mean, I understand why they didn't record it back in the day since Hammett took the main riff and used it with Metallica. Ultimatum NEARLY recorded "Thrash Under Pressure" on our Lex Metalis CD. Frankly we just ran out of time and didn't learn it. Shame as we spent time working on other songs that never got recorded.
I really like Impact is Imminent. Really liked the production. Never loved Pleasures of the Flesh much. Idk why. Zetro is the voice of Exodus, imo, like Joey is the voice of Anthrax. Not saying the other vocalists are no good, just that the band didn't enjoy success with them. Good job.
Very good ranking. I don't own force of habit. But I should get it to complete my collection and eventually give it a listen. Zetro is one of my favourite singers. Check out his other band Hatriot. Awesome music there. I would have placed tempo of the damned a little higher in the ranking. Thanks again for this video 🤘.
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives i understand. I got into exodus in the 2000's and usually, i tend to prefer modern thrash albums over the early raw releases. Did you know that metal church are about to release a new album? Official teaser already streaming on RUclips 🤘. You should do a video ranking for metal church 😉.
As of today I would put it right in between Tempo Of The Damned & Blood In Blood Out ! It’s probably time for me to do an updated ranking because one other albums has changed positions also ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
1. Bonded by blood 2. Tempo of the damned 3. Persona non grata 4. Exhibit B 5. Fabulous disaster 6. Exhibit A 7. Shovel headed kill machine 8. Blood in blood out 9. Pleasures 10. Impact 11. Force of habit
Nice job but I loved force of habit. Architect of pain was awesome. It does seem I'm a bit late to the party . big 4 for me. Overkill .testament exodus. death angel. Again nice job
Thanks Micheal & sorry for the late reply ! Your big 4 is deadly , 4 of my absolute favourite bands ! There’s always time to do the Toxic Waltz 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
THIS WAS FANTASTIC DARCY.LOVED IT.RANKING EXODUS ALBUMS-HELL YES!!! My List: 1) Bonded By Blood (Best debut ever) 2) Fabulous Disaster (Great cover of Low Rider & Verbal Razors is a great tongue lashing-gotta love Zetro) 3) Pleasures Of The Flesh ("Life's getting out of control I think"-To this day I use that bit to let someone know they're being A BIT OUT THERE LOL) 4) Tempo Of The Damned (Great way to reintroduce yourself to the world of thrash & Blacklist has a great groove to it) 5) Impact Is Imminent (Only Death Decides crushes & Changing Of The Guard is awesome) 6) Blood In Blood Out (GET BACK IN THE STUDIO DAMMIT) 7) Force Of Habit (Architect Of Pain & Count Your Blessings got it ranked here) (Bitch is awful by the way) 8) The Atrocity Exhibition-Exhibit A (The song "The Atrocity Exhibition" is a masterpiece) 9) Exhibit B-The Human Condition ( It's ok) 10) Shovel Headed Kill Machine (Title song is good-That's it for me) MORE RANKING VIDEOS DARCY LOL!!! OVERKILL/HELLOWEEN/KREATOR/FLOTSAM & JETSAM//SLAYER/KING DIAMOND/MERCYFUL FATE/TESTAMENT/MEGADETH/ACCEPT/IRON MAIDEN/JUDAS PRIEST----YOU GET THE IDEA LOL
I like salad , I just ate a nice salad 🤣 I like your ranking too , can’t beat Bonded By Blood . I have ranking videos up for Megadeth , Testament , Anthrax , Iron Maiden & Judas Priest , check em out ! King Diamond will be next up 🤘 take care & stay heavy :)
Thanks for letting me know. I have been going from most recent to older videos & I just realized I missed the Metal Church one. I am looking forward to checking all of them out for sure. Really looking forward to the King Diamond ranking. Oh by the way, I just realized that I seem to be the only one that quotes the "life's getting outta control" part & everybody else goes for the salad every time! Classic!!!! You will be hearing from me after I go to church--THE METAL CHURCH.
Agree on every point!... just one thing... big 4 thrash... slayer, exodus, testament, kreator. Big 4 metal... megadeth, metallica, maiden, priest... just saying ;)
I would put Force of Habit (but I deleted the two covers as they are not needed and ruin the pacing of the album)above Shovel Headed Kill Machine, and I would put Blood In, Blood Out as their worst album. The song writing on Blood In just isn't that good compared to The Atrocity Exhibit albums and Tempo of the Damned. And it's the worst vocal performance by Zetro. It was the first time I found his vocals irritating. Zetro kept himself busy with his son's band Hatriot and he did a one off side project called Tenet, which is amazing and you should check it out. The songs on Shovel Headed are good but it sounds like Duke's hadn't found his confidence as the lead vocalist yet, something he shook off with the Atrocity albums. Bonded By Blood is my favorite followed by Tempo of the Damned and then Pleasures of the Flesh. Fabulous Disaster has great songs but the production was too thin for me. The production on Impact is Imminent was much better but the songs weren't as classic(although still good). I have always felt Exodus were too one dimensional of a thrash band to achieve anything beyond legendary status. Gary Holt has said that he hates Force of Habit. He said after Metallica's Black album hit it big the record labels started approaching the thrash bands on their labels asking them to give them a "Black album". Gary said he wrote Force of Habit to appease the record label, something he never did again.
I sold my copy of Let There Be Blood. It just wasn't as good as the original so it never got listened to. Testament did a better job with First Strike Still Deadly, and so did Anthrax with The Lesser of Two Evils.
I could do without the cover songs on Force , something the record company pushed for no doubt ! I am not the biggest Dukes fan , but he has some brights spots for sure , Exhibit A is my favourite from his time with Exodus , strong songs & killer riffs ! I have their first three coming on vinyl , I’m pretty pumped for that , I’ve always been a big Gary Holt fan ! I’m hoping they get a new album out in 2020 , I read that Gary said it going to be heavy as f#%k , so here’s hoping it with be better that Blood In Blood Out ! Take care Greg 🤘
I think the music on Let There Be Blood is awesome , but not a fan of the vocals ! Zetro would of been better for a album like this , but really not sure what the point is trying to remake a thrashterpiece like Bonded By Blood was trying to accomplish ! I totally agree on Testament & Anthrax , First Strike Still Deadly being the best one IMO !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Zetro doing vocals on Alone in the Dark and Reign of Terror on First Strike Still Deadly was awesome. Alone in the Dark was his best vocal performance ever and made me realize how underutilized he is as a vocalist with Exodus.
I got my copy of Bonded By Blood today on vinyl , 2019 reissue .... oh man it’s fantastic !! Reinforced to me why it’s the best Exodus album & probably always will be !
If you were to add "Let There Be Blood" on this list, where would you rank it? I'd have it pretty much at the bottom.... it was unnecessary to redo it with more of a groove thrash sound. listened to it once or twice and now it collects dust.
I agree with you 100% ! Why cover a thrashterpiece like the original !? A couple positives would be the drumming , Tom is one hell of thrash drummer & another highlight was hearing the song Hell’s Breath , I wish they would re-record that for the new album , I don’t think Kirk Hammett would mind & he certainly wouldn’t need to paid , I’m sure he can super size his meal anytime he wants lol . Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Flip Fabulous & Pleasure and im good. Great job as always Darc! I HATE Dukes. Does nothing for me. The only Exodus i have on vinyl is that Let there be blood album.
I agree with you , I love songs like Blacklist & Shroud Of Urine , wish there was more songs as good as those ! I hope Exodus releases a new album this year , I know Gary was busy with Slayer but it’s been 6 years since Blood In Blood Out ! Cheers 🤘 Stay Safe !
Fabulous Disaster is a top 10 album of all time for me. Hate Dukes and his face and his vocals. Always came across as a douchebag. Love Baloff but Zetro is my guy! Great ranking buddy!
Arrogant...cocky...thought he was the shit when he was asked to be in the band. Then they replaced him with Zetro again and his ego was busted!! Have you guys heard Souza's band Hatriot? Good stuff!
I never heard the Dukes years , I seen them on the Tempo tour but quite honestly they were terrible. Out of the ones I know I'd rank them: 1.Fabulous 2.Bonded 3.Tempo 4.Blood in 5.Force 6.Impact
1.Bonded by blood 2.Fabulous disaster 3. Tempo of the Damned 4. Blood in blood out 5. atrocity exhibit A 6. Shovel headed kill machine 7. Exhibit B 8. Pleasures of the Flesh 9. impact is imminent 10 . Force of habit *Good day to dies pretty good, but man the covers are almost as bad as the rest of the albums .
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Same Dude can't wait ! I was watching the making of Blood in Blood out and Set and Holt were saying Zetro walked out during the Tempo tour because he couldn't hack it on tour anymore with really small children at home.
Dude, the fucking Icon in the background, awesome I had recorded on cassette as a kid the Hot Desert Night song off the radio on "the metal shop" show!!! and used to jam that out, great to see you have the vinyl of it!!!

I think you’d like most of their material . The top 5 are must haves in any thrash collection 🍻 Andy
Ahh yes, Paul Baloff, the singer of my "Thrash Never Dies" dream lineup mega-band
Paul Baloff - vocals
Nick Menza - drums
Cliff Burton - bass
Jeff Hanneman - rhythm guitar
Chuck Schuldiner - lead guitar
Just imagine...
What a lineup 🤘
Hey man, greatly enioy Exodus, I very consistent band in the Thrash category, and I think Gary is such an underrated songwriter, similar to Skolnick in that regard.

Bonded By Blood is essential. You need that one next.

Architect of Pain. Good Day to Die. One Foot in the Grave. Force of Habit. Count Your Blessings. Thorn in my Side.
I love them damn songs!
I have 10 CDs of Exodus (missing "Force of habit"). My top 3 is : Fabulous disaster, Exhibit A and Tempo of the damned.
The Fabulous Disaster is my personal favorite. I bought it in 1989 when it was there latest record.

They should have redone BONDED BY BLOOD with Zetro. That would of made sense as he is their definitive vocalist.

1. Exhibit B
2. Shovel Headed...
3. Blood In... Blood Out
4. Atrocity Exhibit A
5. Fabulous Disaster
6. Bonded By Blood
7. Tempo...
8. Pleasures...
9. Impact is imminent

Thanks for sharing your list ! As far as the Dukes era goes Exhibit A is my favourite , I got to see them on the Exhibit B tour , so heavy , they crushed it , got to meet the whole band at the merch booth after , good times ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Awesome ranking man. I'm not into the dukes albums personally, but I know there's some good music on them. Your top 5 would match mine though!
Top 5 are pretty dam awesome ! Looking so forward to a new album in 2019 , should be a good year for metal 🤘
Your videos are great man.
I like Force Of Habit, am I in the minority?
My favourite is Pleasures Of The Flesh. Most underrated one is Impact Is Imminent. His vocals always reminded me a little of Bon Scott.
Don’t really like the newer ones as much.
Fabulous has a good cover of Overdose , nice Bon era tune ! Impact is a good album , Only Death Decides what a killer song ! I’ll try & get more ranking videos done , I’ve been asked to rank King Diamond , so that’s next ✔️ thanks for watching 👀
Darcy Six Strings Nine Lives Yeah you should do AC/DC next. I love Helix as well. I have just about all their albums. Some are very hard to find.
When Slayer finishes I think Kerry King should form a new band with Rob Dukes. I think that would be great.
Killer idea ! I’m sure Kerry isn’t finished in the metal world , not yet anyways 🤘 take care & thanks for watching :)
Slap heads united ;)
@@megaduck7965 😂
Perfect name 👌
Or ginger slap heads inc
“G.S.H inc “would look pretty good on posters haha
Great ranking Darcy stay metal 🤘🤘🤘cheers
Everybody love some good friendly violent fun 😱 stay heavy
I put Bonded at 3, Pleasures at 2, and Fabulous at 1. Tempo at four and Impact rounds out at five. The rest I have not heard much.
That’s a killer top 5 , can’t argue there ! I’m not a big fan of the Rob Dukes era , but the music on The Atrocity Exhibition - Exhibit A is awesome , give it try ! Thanks for watching Joshua 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I actually love Force of habit - its rifftastic. My fav is Fabulous Disaster, followed by Impact is Imminent, then Pleasures of the flesh and then Force of habit and Tempo of the damned. Im not a Baloff fan or a Dukes fan much although i do have them all i just dont play them much.
Shamefully my collection lacks many of Exodus's great albums I will eventually rectify that.
baldmetalnerd Exodus is awesome , love Gary Holt ! My list is still long of wants & needs 🤣 thanks for watching

Scott Waters the riff you mean is Seek & Destroy ?
I think it was Trapped Under Ice.
I really like Impact is Imminent. Really liked the production.
Never loved Pleasures of the Flesh much. Idk why.
Zetro is the voice of Exodus, imo, like Joey is the voice of Anthrax. Not saying the other vocalists are no good, just that the band didn't enjoy success with them.
Good job.
Very good ranking. I don't own force of habit. But I should get it to complete my collection and eventually give it a listen. Zetro is one of my favourite singers. Check out his other band Hatriot. Awesome music there. I would have placed tempo of the damned a little higher in the ranking. Thanks again for this video 🤘.
Tempo is a deadly album but , I grew up on those top 3 🤘 can’t wait for some new Exodus in 2019

Hi Darcy. Only familiar with the first 3 Exodus albums and they are all great.
If you want the next best 2 in your collection grab , Tempo of the Dammed 2004 & Blood In Blood Out 2014 🤘stay heavy
I’m curious as to where you would place Persona Non Grata in your ranking?
As of today I would put it right in between Tempo Of The Damned & Blood In Blood Out ! It’s probably time for me to do an updated ranking because one other albums has changed positions also ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Please rank all eleven (11) Dimebag Darrell full length studio album
Ranking Down or just PHIL ANSELMO 16 major studio albums would be cool too

THIS WAS FANTASTIC DARCY.LOVED IT.RANKING EXODUS ALBUMS-HELL YES!!!
My List:
1) Bonded By Blood (Best debut ever)
2) Fabulous Disaster (Great cover of Low Rider & Verbal Razors is a great tongue lashing-gotta love Zetro)
3) Pleasures Of The Flesh ("Life's getting out of control I think"-To this day I use that bit to let someone know they're being A BIT OUT THERE LOL)
4) Tempo Of The Damned (Great way to reintroduce yourself to the world of thrash & Blacklist has a great groove to it)
5) Impact Is Imminent (Only Death Decides crushes & Changing Of The Guard is awesome)
6) Blood In Blood Out (GET BACK IN THE STUDIO DAMMIT)
7) Force Of Habit (Architect Of Pain & Count Your Blessings got it ranked here) (Bitch is awful by the way)
8) The Atrocity Exhibition-Exhibit A (The song "The Atrocity Exhibition" is a masterpiece)
9) Exhibit B-The Human Condition ( It's ok)
10) Shovel Headed Kill Machine (Title song is good-That's it for me)
MORE RANKING VIDEOS DARCY LOL!!! OVERKILL/HELLOWEEN/KREATOR/FLOTSAM & JETSAM//SLAYER/KING DIAMOND/MERCYFUL FATE/TESTAMENT/MEGADETH/ACCEPT/IRON MAIDEN/JUDAS PRIEST----YOU GET THE IDEA LOL
I like salad , I just ate a nice salad 🤣 I like your ranking too , can’t beat Bonded By Blood . I have ranking videos up for Megadeth , Testament , Anthrax , Iron Maiden & Judas Priest , check em out ! King Diamond will be next up 🤘 take care & stay heavy :)
Thanks for letting me know. I have been going from most recent to older videos & I just realized I missed the Metal Church one. I am looking forward to checking all of them out for sure. Really looking forward to the King Diamond ranking. Oh by the way, I just realized that I seem to be the only one that quotes the "life's getting outta control" part & everybody else goes for the salad every time! Classic!!!! You will be hearing from me after I go to church--THE METAL CHURCH.
🤣 I just really like salad !
LOL...I just put that out on a silver platter for you...well done.
Agree on every point!... just one thing... big 4 thrash... slayer, exodus, testament, kreator.
Big 4 metal... megadeth, metallica, maiden, priest... just saying ;)
Agreed 🤘 You will hear me say from time to time “ It’s all Metal to me “ , but I totally understand what your saying !
I would put Force of Habit (but I deleted the two covers as they are not needed and ruin the pacing of the album)above Shovel Headed Kill Machine, and I would put Blood In, Blood Out as their worst album. The song writing on Blood In just isn't that good compared to The Atrocity Exhibit albums and Tempo of the Damned. And it's the worst vocal performance by Zetro. It was the first time I found his vocals irritating. Zetro kept himself busy with his son's band Hatriot and he did a one off side project called Tenet, which is amazing and you should check it out. The songs on Shovel Headed are good but it sounds like Duke's hadn't found his confidence as the lead vocalist yet, something he shook off with the Atrocity albums. Bonded By Blood is my favorite followed by Tempo of the Damned and then Pleasures of the Flesh. Fabulous Disaster has great songs but the production was too thin for me. The production on Impact is Imminent was much better but the songs weren't as classic(although still good). I have always felt Exodus were too one dimensional of a thrash band to achieve anything beyond legendary status. Gary Holt has said that he hates Force of Habit. He said after Metallica's Black album hit it big the record labels started approaching the thrash bands on their labels asking them to give them a "Black album". Gary said he wrote Force of Habit to appease the record label, something he never did again.
I sold my copy of Let There Be Blood. It just wasn't as good as the original so it never got listened to. Testament did a better job with First Strike Still Deadly, and so did Anthrax with The Lesser of Two Evils.
I could do without the cover songs on Force , something the record company pushed for no doubt ! I am not the biggest Dukes fan , but he has some brights spots for sure , Exhibit A is my favourite from his time with Exodus , strong songs & killer riffs ! I have their first three coming on vinyl , I’m pretty pumped for that , I’ve always been a big Gary Holt fan ! I’m hoping they get a new album out in 2020 , I read that Gary said it going to be heavy as f#%k , so here’s hoping it with be better that Blood In Blood Out ! Take care Greg 🤘
I think the music on Let There Be Blood is awesome , but not a fan of the vocals ! Zetro would of been better for a album like this , but really not sure what the point is trying to remake a thrashterpiece like Bonded By Blood was trying to accomplish ! I totally agree on Testament & Anthrax , First Strike Still Deadly being the best one IMO !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Zetro doing vocals on Alone in the Dark and Reign of Terror on First Strike Still Deadly was awesome. Alone in the Dark was his best vocal performance ever and made me realize how underutilized he is as a vocalist with Exodus.
I got my copy of Bonded By Blood today on vinyl , 2019 reissue .... oh man it’s fantastic !! Reinforced to me why it’s the best Exodus album & probably always will be !
If you were to add "Let There Be Blood" on this list, where would you rank it? I'd have it pretty much at the bottom.... it was unnecessary to redo it with more of a groove thrash sound. listened to it once or twice and now it collects dust.
I agree with you 100% ! Why cover a thrashterpiece like the original !? A couple positives would be the drumming , Tom is one hell of thrash drummer & another highlight was hearing the song Hell’s Breath , I wish they would re-record that for the new album , I don’t think Kirk Hammett would mind & he certainly wouldn’t need to paid , I’m sure he can super size his meal anytime he wants lol . Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Flip Fabulous & Pleasure and im good. Great job as always Darc! I HATE Dukes. Does nothing for me. The only Exodus i have on vinyl is that Let there be blood album.
That’s cool , I didn’t know that one was released on vinyl 👌
Paul Balof \m/
Bangers take your stand and obey 🤘 our mental command :))
The 1st half of Tempo is SOOOO strong and it could have been their best if the 2nd half wasn't so blah.
I agree with you , I love songs like Blacklist & Shroud Of Urine , wish there was more songs as good as those ! I hope Exodus releases a new album this year , I know Gary was busy with Slayer but it’s been 6 years since Blood In Blood Out ! Cheers 🤘 Stay Safe !
Fabulous Disaster is a top 10 album of all time for me. Hate Dukes and his face and his vocals. Always came across as a douchebag. Love Baloff but Zetro is my guy! Great ranking buddy!
Tell how you really feel about Dukes 🤣🤣 that’s great !
Such a horrible fit for the band. He is one of my least favorite metal artists of all time.
From what little I've seen of him I'll give you a hand
Arrogant...cocky...thought he was the shit when he was asked to be in the band. Then they replaced him with Zetro again and his ego was busted!! Have you guys heard Souza's band Hatriot? Good stuff!
Ya Hatriot is awesome & pretty cool to play in a band with your dad 👌
I never heard the Dukes years , I seen them on the Tempo tour but quite honestly they were terrible. Out of the ones I know I'd rank them:
1.Fabulous
2.Bonded
3.Tempo
4.Blood in
5.Force
6.Impact
What about Pleasures of the Flesh , do you have it ?
No never heard it, tried back in the day and thought the production was poor
MetalMickey give it another try lol 🙏
My list would probably be very close to this. I would probably bump one out for Pleasures.
Farley's Nerdcave Chemi-Kill baby !! My first Exodus song , thanks to my buddy Dean for the mixed tape ... lol I said mixed tape 🤣
kill machine not killing machine
Good catch , honest mistake ! Thanks for watching . Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada 🤘 Stay Safe

1.Bonded by blood
2.Fabulous disaster
3. Tempo of the Damned
4. Blood in blood out
5. atrocity exhibit A
6. Shovel headed kill machine
7. Exhibit B
8. Pleasures of the Flesh
9. impact is imminent
10 . Force of habit *Good day to dies pretty good, but man the covers are almost as bad as the rest of the albums .
Great list ! I’m really hoping their new album will be out in 2019 🤞 thanks for watching ;)
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Same Dude can't wait ! I was watching the making of Blood in Blood out and Set and Holt were saying Zetro walked out during the Tempo tour because he couldn't hack it on tour anymore with really small children at home.
Not a Rob Dukes fan at all......
Dude, the fucking Icon in the background, awesome I had recorded on cassette as a kid the Hot Desert Night song off the radio on "the metal shop" show!!! and used to jam that out, great to see you have the vinyl of it!!!
Actually since I did that video a lot of the Rob era stuff has really grown on me ! Exhibit A is still my favourite with him !
