86. Acid Reign – "The Age of Entitlement"

Here we go, the biggest gap between releases on this list. Acid Reign’s previous album to this was released in 1990, a whopping twenty nine years (I bought it. At the time, it had a nice bright pink cover, it wasn’t very good (though I loved it back then)). Old thrash bands don’t die, they just reform a couple of decades later with less hair, more weight and, in the main, a much more heightened ability to play their instruments. This is great. Balls to the wall and foot to the floor thrash from men of a certain age who really should know better. It is unashamedly up-tempo and in many many ways is the album that “Obnoxious” should have been.
