I respect everyone’s opinions, but I really don’t understand how anyone could rate TLS as anything but the absolute worst of the worst. In my mind it belongs in the scrap pile with all the recent butt-rock cover albums and remixxxo el bullshitto albums. At least With Sympathy is historically interesting! At least no one rated it better than a classic like LORAH…
oh wait, Grumpysmurf hasn’t chimed in yet 
(sound effect of a crack-rock roasting in a glass pipe)
I like Last Sucker better than Rio Grande Blood. They’re both weak, though.
And I never put LORAH or TMIATTTT on my lists because the live versions of the songs on ICYDFLSU lay waste to the cold studio tracks.
Most people think I’m a heretic but I eventually just sold back my copies of “LORAH” and “TMIATTTT” because I never listened to them and when I would try I’d just find the tracks felt dead to me.

As a fan of early Slayer I kinda liked some of RGB’s guitar riffs. Everything on TLS just sounds so half-assed to me, but I would agree they are both very weak albums.

I would agree with you when it comes to the guitar based songs like Missing/Deity/Thieves etc but I think some of the disco-death sounding songs like So What/Golden dawn/you know what you are sound really nice and clear on CD.

There is certainly a charm to live recordings and I see where you are coming from, I would have hung on to those albums for the songs that weren’t played live though.
Beer coasters that don’t deserve to be ranked:
The Last Sucker
Animositisomina
Rio Grand Blood
This thread is a perfect way for me to decipher which prongers are my absolute favorites! And which are not. [mad]
I’ll just share my top 5. 1 being the best

This.
Eureka Pile just became my new best friend. Dark Side of the Spoon is a very awesome underrated album.
1 and 2 are interchangeable, just depends on my mood.

DSOTS is in a class of its own. Twitch through WS tend to jump order depending on my mood. Houses is decent. RGB has some GREAT stuff, but half of the album sucks. Sucker… sucks more. I think “Die in a Crash” is the only good thing on there, but what do I know, I don’t even have a copy.
