M.O.D. - U.S.A. For M.O.D. (1987)

Thrash metal, one-line songs and absurd (while sometimes disturbing) lyrics... it could only be from a band featuring Billy Milano.  M.O.D. (Method Of Destruction) is the crossover project for Milano while S.O.D. (Stormtroopers Of Death) took a short break.  From what I've read, the follow-up to S.O.D.'s debut Speak English Or Die would have been titled U.S.A. For S.O.D. but since the band went back to pursue more normal careers (with bands like Anthrax), Billy Milano chose to keep the joke songs going with a new band.  The album features songs like "Aren't You Hungry" or "A.I.D.S."  which go a little overboard on the twisted humour as some lyrics are not for the faint of heart.  From an instrumental approach of things, the band was producing some fairly epic thrash which still lives up to this day's standards.  If you're looking for a light-hearted chuckle and enjoy your thrash metal then by all means check out Method Of Destruction's debut album.
