I really like Crazy Nights, it's one of my favourite albums.

They'd already just about jumped the shark at that point
Their older stuff was far better. Check out Double Platinum, which is a compilation of their best stuff up to around 1978. Fuck that makes me feel old.

Even try The Elder, which is crazy orchestral type stuff but is actually a fantastic listen.

No it isn't, it's shit.
I have all there stuff, I just happen to think that Crazy Nights is a fantastic album, not knocking their early stuff, it's also good. Apart from Music from the Elder, obviously.

Next you'll be telling me that "Fly on the Wall" was a "really underrated" AC/DC album, or that anything megadeth produced in the mid to late 90's was "worth a revisit".

Steady on old boy
Only 'In My Darkest Hour' is worth a listen.

I think everything up to and including Countdown to Extinction
is rather good, and they found form again with United Abominations and Endgame but I've not listened to the new album yet.

Hang about
There's some decent stuff on Countdown to Extinction... that's 1992, isn't it? I liked Youthanasia at the time but have since come to realise it's bobbins. Everything after Dave Ellefson cut his hair sucked ass.

That's why I said "Mid to late 90s"
and I clarify it further above.

I gave up on them after Cryptic Writings to be honest

I accept that The Elder is not everyone's cup of tea
but I think it was massively under-rated.

I expect you also like "Come Taste The Band" by Deep Purple

Bit too early for me TBH.
