Hey Chris; I don't know a lot of metal, but one group that I do like a lot, (that I think is metal), is Type O Negative. The CD "October Rust" is great. The songs actually have melody, and the singer has a real unusual deep voice.
Check it out if you get the chance.

For some modern stuff.
God Forbid - Gone Forever
Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn
As a matter of fact, you'd be good getting anything on the Century Media label.

Re: best heavy metal album release?
How about a bit of 80's hard rock/metal for required listening:
RIOT (not Quiet Riot) - Fire Down Under (remember Swords & Tequila)
Judas Priest - Unleased In The East (Live In Japan)
Blackfoot - Marauder or "Highway Song Live" (not technically metal, but if you love Rock'n'Roll, say "Hell Yeah")
Motorhead - The Ace of Spades
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog (still a classic)
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
Anything from Rose Tattoo will do. They were a big influence on Guns & Roses, who covered some of their songs, "Nice Boys Don't Play Rock'n'Roll". Not with quite the same "angry-ness", though. Nice to see them mentioned.

Definately a bit of Budgie will do you some good. They're the poor man's Led Zeppelin. All the rock without the attitude. Didn't Metallica cover Breadfan? Budgie is still touring. How about some Wishbone Ash? Their first self titled album has some killer guitar. The rest of their catalog is great, too.

Re: best heavy metal album release?
My vote for best metal album is
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
other albums come close but no one can touch this one.
Anything from the NWOBHM* is an absolute must if you want to understand metal.
*New Wave of British Heavy Metal.... Thanks Brits!!!

Re: best heavy metal album release?
I'd hate to hear what you think of "Risk".
If you happen to have a distaste for radio-friendly metal, there are more annoying targets than Countdown. Even Megadeth's MOST radio-friendly stuff isn't as crappy as Korn, Disturbed and whatever else passes for metal these days. For the record, I thought Countdown was just as hard as Youthanasia.
Megadeth is awesome... I love every single one of their releases. They have yet to let me down.
EDIT: Also what is "stereotypical early 90s radio metal"? In the early 90s, they played nothing but grunge and alternative. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE grunge and alternative, but what metal was around at that time that Countdown reminds you of?

Re: best heavy metal album release?
It may surprise you, but I like Risk. The main reason I dislike Countdown is the relatively weak songwriting on that record. After Skin 'O My Teeth, I don't care for too many tracks off that one. It also reminds me too much of the Black Album; very commercial sounding. The production may also bother me... Countdown just sounds too perfect, it doesn't have the vibe that many of the other 'deth albums have.
I actually listed to Risk a couple days ago... it's about 2 years and still counting for Countdown.
BTW, have you heard that Megadeth has a new album in the works???

Re: best heavy metal album release?
I guess your opinion of Countdown is understandable. I sort of disagree, but everybody's got a favorite and least favorite.
Yes, I heard about the new album. I'm really really pumped for it, too. Jr.'s out, but Poland's in. This is definitely good news. If you're not a member of the Megadeth.com message boards, you should sign up. The boards are members-only and you can recieve constant updates from Mustaine himself. He's really good to his fans and the amount of news that comes from that place is incredible. For a short amount of time, they offered one of the new songs as a free downloadable .mp3.
It's very cool...

You'll enjoy it. Like I said, Mustaine posts Mega-updates a couple times a week. Plus, nothing's better than leaked songs.
