I removed this from the article
It is considered by many to be the greatest heavy metal album of all time.
C'mon, people say that about every album and it's entirely an opinion. While you might say what I just said was an opinion I say that there is no best and worst album ever.
I don't think there's much doubt that MOP is a very important album, and "greatest" was probably not the best choice. Still, I think it's necessary that at least some recognition of the album's place in the metal canon be presented to readers. I reworded the initial claim slightly to tone down the celebratory rhetoric while still presenting an important bit of context. -- Pillsbur 08:36, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)
- You could make the case for "greatest thrash metal album of all time"; the only other contenders (so far as polls &c. go) are Reign in Blood and Rust in Peace. -- Jim Regan 22:00, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- I think in this case, "landmark" works fine. While one could make a case for MOP as the "greatest thrash metal album of all time," I don't think Wikipedia is the right place for that kind of pronouncement. Pillsbur 02:13, May 4, 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, but when it's prefaced by "It's considered by many to be..." it should be alright. -- Jim Regan 02:15, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
