I have Never Neverland on Vinyl found it buried under a lot of shitty old Vinyl in the back of my local recorded store. It was dusty and had a few rips in it got it for 6$. Crazy thing about it I don,t think it has been played much when I got it. The store owner said he did not think he had any Metal Vinyls just goes to show if you keep a good EYE out you never now whats under trash lol
I love there innovative lead guitar he’s trying to mix it up and I’m impressed! I’m a guitar player it’s hard to impress me the leads on the new album are off the chain! King of the Kill is my favorite!
All I'm really familiar with a whole lot is Alice In Hell. And that album is one of my favorites ever. So seems hard to beat. But that's why I searched this up. If I can get into another one of their albums as much then that would be cool. I just think its hard to beat the theme of Alice In Hell. Its really cool.
Same reason why I'm here, I just found out about alice in hell today and I've already listened to it at least five times. Probably going to go with never neverland next.
I just recently rediscovered this band. I was 13 when Alice in Hell came out and loved that album. Thanks for updating all the albums I stopped listening to them after the first album for whatever reason. Proud Canadian fan. 👍🏻
Great video. I only just recently discovered the band after 30 years of listening to Megadeth, Pantera and Onslaught. It's a shame that they aren't more well known. They remind me of Megadeth but more melodic.
Here is my list (with a maximum of 10 points for each record) 17. Remains (2,0) 16. Waking The Fury (5,0) 15. Annihilator (5,0) 14. Carnival Diablos (6,0) 13. Schizo Deluxe (6,0) 12. Suicide Society (6,5) 11. Feast (7,0) 10. Metal (7,5) 9. Refresh The Demon (7,5) 8. All For You (7,5) 7. Criteria For A Black Widow (7,5) 6. Ballistic Sadistic (8,0) 5. For The Demented (8,0) 4. King Of The Kill (8,5) 3. Alice In Hell (9,0) 2. Set The World On Fire (9,0) 1. Never Neverland (9,5)
I actually prefer Alice In Hell over Never, Neverland. Alice In Hell has more diversity, where Never Neverland for me is a record where the song's kind of blend in with each other.
1. Alice in Hell (1989) 2. Never, Neverland (1990) 3. Carnival Diablos (2001) 4. King of the Kill (1994) 5. Ballistic, Sadistic (2020) 6. Schizo Deluxe (2005) 7. Waking the Fury (2002) 8. Refresh the Demon (1996) 9. Feast (2013) 10. Criteria for a Black Widow (1999) 11. Annihilator (2010) 12. For the Demented (2017) 13. Metal II (2022) 14. All for You (2004) 15. Suicide Society (2015) 16. Metal (2007) 17. Set the World on Fire (1993) 18. Remains (1997)
NNL is just incredible. I play Phantasmagoria and I am in Command almost every day on guitar. I would play imperilled eyes, too, but it's too difficult. Just a crushing album. Best of the best. Jeff rules.
All their albums are pretty good. But for me, the two best ones are always gonna be the first two they put out. They were really firing on all cylinders on both Alice in Hell and Never Neverland. The worst for me? Probably Set The World on Fire. Some real good songs on it for sure. But i always had a hard time getting into the vocals. They don't really suit some of the songs imho. Honorable mention goes out to an album not listed. Mainly because it's a odds and ends compilation album. But I always liked Bag of Tricks That was the one that got me into Annihilator, as it has Alison Hell on there, Phantasmagoria with Randy Rampage on vocals, Gallery and Back to The Crypt, which parts of each were used in later songs Never Neverland and Stonewall, and a really awesome ballad called Fantastic things, which never appeared on any other album in their discography for whatever reason. A lot of cool stuff on there, and still worth a listen or ten today...
Even the worst Annihilator albums produce a good amount of headbangers. That's what's special about J. Waters. I wish he'd bring some friends in for writing the material. Idk if he did for Ballistic, Sadistic, but I heard he wrote Suicide Society and For the Demented. Great albums, but he'd benefit from someone to bounce his ideas off of.
@@impetus_aus Hmm, I didn't know that. I heard some of him bringing in the drummer Fabio, but I didn't know the bassist was involved. I feel like he gets too comfortable on most of the songs. He's always had a way with choruses but I dislike when it's 60% + of the song. Regardless, he still makes great stuff for being around for 40 years and easily one of the best guitarist alive.
It's funny that I think the lead singer of The Never Never Land album sounds like Raditz from Dragon Ball Z. So far I haven't listened to all of thier albums but never never land is my favorite.
I can NEVER find anyone who agrees with me on this, but Feast is my FAVORITE Annihilator album! Bias may come from the fact that it was the first I heard in full though. 1. Feast 2. Alice in Hell 3. Never, Neverland 4. Schizo Deluxe 5. Metal 6. Carnival Diablos 7. Ballistic, Sadistic 8. Suicide Society 9. Annihilator 10. Criteria for a Black Widow 11. For the Demented 12. King of the Kill 13. Set the World on Fire 14. Refresh the Demon 15. Remains 16. All for You 17. Waking the Fury (FUCK that guitar tone.)
Annihilator: Gold: Alice in hell Silver: Never Neverland Copper: set the world - schizo deluxe- ballistic, sadistic - refresh the demon - King the kill. Bronze: all for you- metal- for the demented. Mmmmm: Annihilator - waking the fury- carnival diablos- feast- suicide society. Bad: criteria for a black widows- remains
NeverNeverand is their best album and its the best mixed and sounds the best and has sold more copies ...its a clear number one Alice in Hell is my number 2 and set the world on fire is my number 3 ...
17. Metal (poor sound, boring songwring. Terrible) 16. Criteria for a Black Widow (paperthin, extremely uninspired) 15. Suicide society (cringe) 14. For The Demented (nice songs ruined by minutes of unbearable filler segments) 13. Remains (not so inspired) 12. Carnival Diablos (weak, generic) 11. Schizo Deluxe (self-plagiarism overload) 10. All For You (Some great moments, the best production on any Annihilator album... the songwriting is occasionally strong although weird for the most part) 9. Set The world On Fire (starts strong, ends even stronger, everything in between is just bad pop) 8. Waking The Fury ( buzzy :P) 7. Feast (it should have been an EP) 6. Refresh The Demon (it's the worst among their best albums) 5. King Of The Kill (love the funny vibe but it lacks the complexity that it needed) 4. Ballistic Sadistic (it's the best album since Annihilator 2010, although less original) 3. Annihilator (at the time of release was the best and most innovative Annihilator album since Never Neverland) 2. Never Neverland (crazy high highs held back by a couple of weaker episodes in the middle) 1. Alice In Hell (Solid from beginning to end)
I don't care about albums. I like songs. I have at least 100 of them as my favorites . As albums i would put. Walking the fury, Metal and Carnival Diablos in my top 3
