  So there they are.  75 more albums to sink your teeth into.  All of these albums are great and some are just as good as some of the albums that were included in my original 100 list.  I just favored those more for various reasons.  Some are heavier, lighter, older, newer, but still kick ass in their own way.  I wouldn't judge any of these albums based on in comparason to others like the Metallica's, Slayer's, Judas Priest's, or just some of the all time favs of so many metal heads out there.  Take them in their own light and what that particular album is representing, or accomplishing in that albums working.  Thats how I've allways reviewed an album, b/c if I hold every album up to the levels of my classic favorites than the majority of them will allways fail and thats not fair to them.  So have fun checking them out, and until next time stay hard, stay heavy.
