Uh, I'm probably the least knowledgable about hardcore/speed metal among
this readership; but I like a very few hardcore bands I've heard (Gray
Matter, Fear, and local IllNoise) and submit this question:

   What is the best hardcore album (hopefully available)?

You're of course free to support your answer with whatever assumptions you
like, but I'd most be interested in hardcore which exhibits: 1. reasonably
good production  2. great playing  3. optionally, cool lyrics.


Thanks,

P.S.  Gray Matter's new EP is solid, overall better than their previous 
(which I bought for their creat cover of "I Am the Walrus").  I like Fear
for its arrangements, use of odd time sigs.  IllNoise is hardcore/metal
with Henrdix influences, tasty guitar solos.
