It has plenty of volume with a long decay and will work very well in louder musical styles like rock, metal, punk, and similar styles.

Paiste 2002 black label 70s cymbals are often nicer, thinner, warmer, and more sensitive than later Paiste 2002s.

I have found that Sabian cymbals made in the 80s are often amongst the nicest sounding Sabians.
