Album for Album

I was listening to Tragic Kingdom, which rocks FYI. Every week you should see 1 or 2 "out of place" bands in my lastfm playlist thing. You'd see more (e.g. Fu-Manchu, Dire Straits etc.), but I don't have much ripped to my computer because I don't have the hdd space.

Also, the order went DM - No Doubt - BM.

Scrubs also dominates. Second best show of all time (behind The Office (UK)).

Hmmm Never watched the UK office, but my top 5 comedies of all time go something like this, in no particular order :

Scrubs
Seinfield
Family Guy
Aqua Teen HungerForce
Arrested Development
 
By the way, I'd say Judas Priest is the best at this point.

Sad Wings
Sin after Sin
Stained Class
Screaming
Defenders
Painkiller
AOR

Top f-ing notch.

Sadly they've had many down albums, but I believe they can be overlooked, even Turbo had great songs (Out in the Cold).
The entire point of this thread was to include every album, even the shitty ones. Way to go, dumbass. (Sorry, I'm pissed at something else...)
 
Both Thrower certainly qualifies for longevity and consistency but creativity? Don't creativity and consistency kind of cancel themselves out? Or are we talking about consistency in excellence?
 
hahaha i love that you are still posting like this

do you still think Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is only worthy of 5/10 because it has 40 minutes of good music and 40 minutes of samples and stuff?

I couldn't honestly answer that question because I haven't listened to that album in years. I've forgotten most of it. Certainly wasn't that memorable.

Edit: I don't remember your name, did you post under a different name in the past?

When I had last.fm, my list was pretty schizophrenic.
 
Ender=Dumbass


Has anybody mentioned Thyrfing? I know some think their first is shit, but I love it, their golden era from Urkraft to Vansinnevisor(fuck can't spell...)cannot be beat.
 
Last I checked the title of the site being "Ultimate Metal" and No Doubt is quite pop rock. So.. Um... it doesn't take a genious to see the that. And if you saw his playlist it went kind of like

BM > No Doubt > BM ** Kind of out of place ** don't you think? Doesn't take a genious to see that. And I posted that anyways because I thought it was fucking hilarious.

What in the fuck are you smoking son. Who gives a shit if he listens to No Doubt? You don't have to listen to it, but I mean it doesn't take a GENIUS to figure that out now does it? Doesn't take a GENIUS to figure out how to spell GENIUS correctly either, but hey what do I know I am no GENIUS.

not to mention no doubt is one of the worst bands in the history of music

Get killed by a bus.

uhh no doubt's 'tragic kingdom' is an awesome album so whatever

anyway the answer to this thread is probably fugazi

Pretty much.

Yes because everyone should only listen to metal and nothing but. Some non-metal stuff is way better than most metal I've heard. There are classical music/opera/folk/ambient/hip-hop fans on this board. Not all of them adverise playlists of the music they listen to, perhaps that;s done primarily to avoid getting slandered by silly critique of the LAWL type.

Correct my friend. I mean the guy in my sig for christs sake is more inspirational and timeless than anything Dumbass Dave listens to, not to mention the genius Disarmonia.

I totally agree but no doubt is not one of them

no doubt = putrid garbage

Your existence = putrid garbage
 
Holy shit. He was pointing out the odd juxtaposition of No Doubt with several metal bands.

And if someone could unplug Amarantus' feeding tube that'd be great.

^ QFT, I never said they sucked (Though they do, but I never brought that up). You all don't know how to read, and yes I mispelled genius big fucking deal. I guess I should follow you around for a while and be a grammar nazi also.

Amarantus you should get off your high horse every once in a while so you don't get a saddle rash.
 
It means that Mikael is steering the band more and more towards being a 70's prog rock cover band. Whether you look at the early Opeth (based mainly on Iron Maiden'ish twin guitar melodies) or the middle Opeth (MAYH up to BWP) their sound was defined by the atmosphere they managed to create. And a big part of the atmosphere came from their use of acoustics along with heavy guitars and the way in which they used to mix these together to create emotionally moving music (and I'm not talking about the standard heavy - mellow - heavy progressions, I'm talking about the actual overall sound they created).

All of the albums they have released since BWP lack this utterly. Damnation was obviously a one-off project and I know what Mikael tried to do, but come on. It is utterly unremarkable 70's prog worship and if you are interested in that kind of music you are better off listening to the artists that influenced him to make that album than you are listening to Damnation itself. Deliverance was a barren affair with not a single fully realized song on it but more a bunch of half-assed ideas thrown together. This was partially due to the incredible time pressure under which they had to create these albums (most of both albums was written in the studio while they were recording two albums for the time and money they would normally have for one). That doesn't change the fact that both albums are mediocre at best and lack all of the elements that made older Opeth albums interesting.

They redeemed themselves somewhat with Ghost Reveries where they atleast took some time to actually write and rehearse before entering the studio (and obviously not recording two albums at the same time helps). The album has its moments. But the folk influences that were an essential part of Opeth's sound have been entirely replaced with mellotron-laden prog noodling and Beach Boys style interludes, conjuring up the same prog rock vibe I mentioned earlier. Listen to the guitar sound on MAYH and compare it to GR. The vibe they are going for is completely different these days. And in doing so they completely drained the emotion and subtlety from their music and replaced it with the more overbearing pompous prog rock sound.
you have quite a few points there! something's missing since BWP... Ghost Reveries has some pretty generic sounding moments, I must say.
 
I have heard probably 14 or 15 songs by no doubt and they were absolutely atrocious

retarded pop music for 12 year olds, gwen stefani needs to die ASAP (they play her shit at my gym all the time and it absolutely drives me nuts)
 
I'd say the funeral doom band Esoteric (uk). I love every single one of their albums including the demo. I won't stand for even a note modified.
