Flotsam and Jetsam : ranking all 14 studio albums

In this video I rank all 14 studio albums by Flotsam and Jetsam ! This is a band that is so much more than just the band Jason Newsted came from & so many more gems in their discography than just their first 2 albums ! Thanks as always for hanging out with this middle aged metalhead 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy

    Great ranking. I knew some from the previous ranking. Great spot for the new one. Some of these have yet to be heard by me, mostly the ones at the bottom. Only thing I wasn’t expecting was the cold being somewhat lower than some. Absolutely love that album. Thanks for this Darcy. Great band, flotz till death. 🤟

    I always loved their first 3 albums, but after ‘Storm’ I kind of lost track of them & tbh, it was because I was more on a DM path back then! Since those days tho I’ve gone back & rediscovered most of their releases after ‘Storm’ & I enjoy them all! I’ve still not heard their last 3 releases tho… I keep waiting for them to come down in price… but they never do, lol! ‘No place’ will always be No.1 for me! Good to see you Darcy!🤘🏻

    I saw them live twice in 1999 at The Mason Jar in Phoenix because I only lived 10 blocks away and was working 2'nd shift at Motorola. I knew of them 10 years prior from the No Place For Disgrace album that a friend dubbed a cassette for me while I was in the 8'th grade ten. When I hear Never To Reveal on Z rock 4 years later I was thoroughly impressed by this band and purchase the cassette tape. I also bought the next album in 1995

    Brilliant updated ranking! Thank you. I still would rank "The End Of Chaos" two steps (minimum) above "Blood In The Water" just because of the production of the latter one that I can´t stand. But hey, that´s why we are music fans! Everyone hears music a little different and that´s totally ok if not even necessary. There´s enough fighting going on in every day life, we don´t have to fight over musical taste, do we? "Drift" is the only album that has not been released on vinyl at any point. This great record definetely needs a well done release on black wax! Reissues of "Cuatro" and "High" would be very cool as well because I´m not willing to pay what people ask for nowadays. As Metal Marty Mac said, "Forkboy" is a Lard cover, a project from the Ministry guys with Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys singing.

Then Jason left, then I heard the Elton John cover and then I decided to move along. And then they just kept getting pushed to the backburner. I guess I should rectify that.

    N.E. Terror is my All Time favorite Flots song! I don't know why everybody dislikes Dreams of Death so much as for me, that's when they ditched the groove metal influences of My God and Unnatural Selection, and went back to basics. I think if DoD had been released back in '89 instead of When the Storm comes Down, The band could have a lot more famous.
