Albums currently displeasing your ass

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I got that feeling without even listening to it...go me.

 

[WCannibal]

Maybe because of the stupid titles?

Yeah, I'll stick with A Celebration of Guilt.

 

[damnromulans]

I've seen them a zillion times and I adored their older material so I wanted to give them a chance. On the bright side, it seems James has lost weight (he was really fat and sloppy when I saw them live between 2006-2008).

 

[IntoPhagist]

Yeah new Arsis stinks.

 

[damnromulans]

A shame, they were so promising.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Brave New Hell in Midi kicks ass

 

[Episteme]

We are the Nightmare is also pretty bad.

he was addicted to drugs and became anorexic

 

[damnromulans]

oh is that so? who does he think he is, Daniel Johns?

@Episteme think I managed to miss that one. I fall off the metal boat for months at a time.

 

[Xorv]

"Forced to Rock", sounds like a title from some generic dio worship group like Astral Doors

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

We are the Nightmare is also pretty bad.

Yep.

 

[Belligerent]

same here

 

[mutantllama]

Nile should change their name to Amazon and should start playing aztec inspiried dm.

FYP

Nile should go back to their old name, Morbid Angel.

 

[Doomguy]

It's alright I guess, but certainly doesn't live up to the brilliant cover and song titles. A solid effort for a young band, but seems rather boring and repetitive to me. 50/100

 

[Pyro Stick]

I really enjoyed Eidolon but this is just boring.

 

[Bitencourt29]

^ I'm not sure yet, listened to it only once. Not impressed at first listen, but I'll try a few more spins.

 

[ArneZ]

Jasta is the worst vocalist in music history.

 

[Cart Commander]

Jasta is the worst vocalist in music history.

Even though every song sounds exactly like the last one they usually let a couple nuggets slip out, thats why he sounds so stressed when he sings

 

[BloodSword]

A Forest of Stars--Opportunistic Springtime Thieves. Not grabbing me. Seems like the songs don't have any finality or direction. Unimpressed with the guitar work, as I was with their previous album. Weak riffage and lazy playing.

 

[Savern]

Its not that its particularly bad, I just don't think it can decide what kind of album it is. The opening track is all over the place, the first half sounds like a Satriani song (quite a good one actually) and then it descends into some pretty stock and boring thrash. Quite alot of the time it suddenly switches to F-zero X music... not necessarily a bad thing, I just find the sudden contrasts too much.
Just seems to be a platform for Waters guitar work- I think if he'd made an instrumental album, it would've worked better - he's definitely got the chops to do so.
I do like the vocal production - sounds like early Metallica Hetfield.

Bit of a mixed bag really.
