[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Evil Empire, 30 years old yesterday. An initial disappointment for me, it grew on me a lot over the years, but prob remains my least favourite, including Renegades.

That's mad. You'd put Battle of LA ahead of Evil Empire? Haven't listened to them in years but was mad into the first 2 as a nipper.

They're both leagues behind the lightning-in-a-bottle s/t, but yeah, I think Battle of LA is the better album out of those two, across the board: better songs, vox, production. Mic Check is almost good enough to be on the debut.
