NUCLEAR ASSAULT: Albums Ranked ☢️ (From Worst to Best) - Rank 'Em All

In todays video I'm going to rank the full discography of East coast thrashers Nuclear Assault.
Nuclear Assault was formed by Dan Lilker after he was fired from Anthrax in 1984. He teamed up with John Connelly, Anthony Bramante and Glenn Evans and together they recorded albums like Game Over in 1986, The Plague EP in 1987, Survive in 1988 and Handle With Care in 1989. So today we're going to rank Nuclear Assault's full discography, from the worst to the best. Enjoy!

    Glad you did this one! I found Game Over on cassette tape in 1988 in one of those bargin close out bins at those things we used to call record stores, and I thought I struck gold! Agree that they were definitely overlooked due to the bigger name bands very popular releases during that time... I guess you could say that about several thrash bands back then that had potential, but never made it big... Kids today will never know how cool it was to be young during that time, and grow into metal in late 70s and 80s...

    Handle With Care is just hard to hear, sound’s too loud over the instruments; therefore, it’s production-wise. Game Over and Survive are very good just low levels in sound. Something Wicked sounds great, Out of Order has bad quality, Third World Genocide is an awesome album just those drums sound like shit; the title track snare drum is so pissy.

    @@RuthlessMetalYT Game Over was my introduction to the band. I remember Metal Mania gave it a scathing review, said it sounded like it was recorded in a cheese factory or something. The following year I met a friend who was into a lot of thrash metal and hardcore turned me on to them, along with Suicidal Tendencies and Flotsam And Jetsam's 1st album "Doomsday For The Deciever". That was around 1987. Game Over is really raw, but has a lot of NYHC energy and a more agressive vibe as well. Their proto grindcore/HC songs like "Hang The Pope" and "Lesbians" were pure gold. I wish they did a whole album of songs in that style.

    Nuclear are of one of those bands whose debut was so good that their following albums got worse and worse, with the notable exception of "Handle with care", which is at least as good as "Survive". In my opinion they released too much stuff on the EPs (6 songs on "The Plague", plus 3 non album original tracks on the "Brain death" and "Fight to be free" singles, and "Lesbians" was omitted from the original "Game over" album) and got out of steam pretty quickly. "Out of order" was so bad because of Connelly lack of commitment, Lilker kept the more extreme stuff for Brutal Truth and Bramante had to write the bulk of the album even if he didn't write anything on the older records. Speaking of Bramante, his exit happened when Di Pietro was already in the band, NA was briefly a 5 piece with Connelly handling vocals only, then Anthony left for good.

You mention metal being dead in 93' but for me, metal was alive and well, it had just passed it's peak in popularity by 1993. Bands were still coming out with great albums: Overkill, Sepultura, Pantera, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, etc. Ruthless Metal guy, are you a fan of Meshuggah? Please to Meshuggah and Sepultura next.

    Yeah, but that's a different type of metal than the type that most of us liked in the 80's. For me that downtuned and dumbed down stuff from the 90's wasn't the right direction for metal and thus it's popularity dropped significantly simply because the albums weren't as good anymore. I dislike Meshuggah, They are crap in my book. So that won't happen. A Sepultura rank is coming up though... Cheers!

    Handle With Care was my introduction to the band, specifically “Search & Seizure” on an internet metal channel. So, I tend to hold a bias towards that as my favorite. But Game Over and Survive, are too, like you said, masterpieces of the genre. These dudes are the ones who started my love for underground thrash so I hold them in extremely high regard.

    I have to agree Game Over is their best. For me, although Survive and Handle were pretty good albums, they never topped their '86/'87 blaze of glory and times moved on and, for me anyway, such as Brutal Truth were just far more interesting and faster and heavier. Saw NA here in the UK back in '87 a couple of times and they were simply untouchable back then. But their star burned out fast... but that's not always a bad thing.

They maybe sort of in the 2nd division of thrash bands but were excellent and ahead of there time with there slant on the environment. Was lucky to see them supporting Slayer on the South of Heaven tour in 1988 in Newport Wales. One of the best gigs I have every been to and in my top 10.

Good albums but definitely short changed what they were capable of after hearing Game Over, an exemplary thrasher. Business is business and if people aren't buying it you can't just pay to keep making records. Would have loved to see these guys get bigger. Let's face it though, sometimes it's nice to have a band without a bloated discography.
