Great one, the best with Dio, I say.

Beyond Good and Evil by The Cult was nice rock slab.

^ That's a good shout too. That's easily the heaviest thing The Cult have done (if you only know She Sells Sanctuary it'll surprise you) and it's really consistent. Shame Atlantic didn't get behind them to promote the record properly.

The Stench Of Redemption by Deicide was a fucking great comeback. They'd released a few dud albums before breaking up of course. Can't say anything after this is blowing my hair back though. It was a one off

I don't know if either of these qualify. Maybe more a return to form, but Dystopia? Or when  mustaine's arm went and jr left and he came back with Blackmail The Universe
