Best Annihilator Albums

The Top Ten
1 Alice in Hell

In my opinion this debut full length is the best Thrash album not released by the big 4. Superior even to Exodus's Bonded by Blood. The album starts with a bona fide classic track Alison Hell (after the short acoustic piece Crystal Ann) then just takes off from there, the songs getting better and better as the album progresses. It's a generic Thrash album in the best possible way, choc full of that signature Thrash guitar chugging.

Masterpiece, one of the best thrash metal albums ever made. Some of the riffs are really close to perfect, and the overall guitar work by Jeff is amazing

2 Never Neverland

It's difficult to say who invented technical thrash because:

1) Annihilator released demos in 1985 and 1986 with songs like Alison Hell, Human Insecticide (then titled Lust of Death), Welcome To Your Death, Phantasmagoria, and other songs later included in their first albums (1989, 1990).

2) I am a massive Coroner fan, too, but their demo came out in 1986 and Annihilator win.

3) However, Watchtower released their demo Meltdown in 1984, so they were before Coroner and Annihilator. To me this demo is more prog than thrash but still counts (it sounds closer to Coroner than Annihilator because Watchtower and Coroner had more Rush influences).

3 Set the World On Fire

I love this album. My favorite songs on it would have to be Set The World on Fire, Snake in The Grass, Knight Jumps Queen, The Edge, and Don't Bother Me. This hole album is great though.

Maybe not as good as the first two, but still, a cool album that's fun to listen to.

A lot chiller than 'Alice' and 'Neverland'. The songwriting is great and at times cheesey (Knight jumps Queen) which makes it even cooler. Its not necassarly better than 'Alice' and 'never', because all 3 albums are badass.

4 Criteria for a Black Widow

After two disappointing albums, this one is a pretty good one. It has a heavier sound, and it's maybe the thrashiest since Neverland.

Kind of a throwback to Alice and Never. 1 Alice 2 Never 3 Criteria 4 World on Fire.

5 King of the Kill

This one isn't as technical as the first two, and isn't as melodic as the third, but still, does its job. Has some really killer tracks like the title track or Annihilator

King of the Kill may not be the fastest or the heaviest, but it's the most consistent album Jeff ever made.

6 Schizo Deluxe

This should be in the top 3. One of the best and most underrated albums ever

7 Suicide Society
8 Annihilator
9 Metal

Clown Parade and Haunted alone make this my #2 spot.

Best album by far! To bad they don’t play any of the songs live because all my favourite are on this album.

10 Carnival Diablos

Better than anything Metallica has ever done. I mean it.

This album is the most underrated thrash album ever

Carnival Diablos rule and Joe Comeau is the best singer they ever had.

The Contenders
11 Refresh the Demon
12 Feast
13 For the Demented

One of the best Annihilator albums full stop

Best modern Annihilator album

14 Waking the Fury

Love the songs, the line.up and the raw sound. Jeff should have kept this line up going. Great vocals!

15 All for You
16 Ballistic, Sadistic

This album deserves to be on the top three nobody expect an amazing album produced on the old ways since their first three albums and schizo deluxe by hair. its like released from the 80s with fresh quality sound and nostalgic influences from alison in hell and never neverland formula
