Albums currently displeasing your ass

[The Ozzman]

When I'm bored I try to read books or something.

I did that earlier and also video games. This is sometimes more fun than both.

Holy shit, I hate this. Not only do these genuinely lose the soul of the original tracks but in many cases just come off as inferior. Done for no reason other than the pathetic excuse of "modernization".

 

[CiG]

Yeah but at least we got those brilliant album covers.

You're joking, right?

Never bothered with the second one obviously but the first Thrash Anthems is undoubtedly the worst re-recording in metal. As someone that considers Bonded by Blood to be the greatest thrash metal album and Baloff's vocals the quintessential performance, even Let There Be Blood sounds ok relative to that piece of shit. Neo-Destruction is useless.

You're joking, right?

I'll let you decide.

Shylmagoghnar. I rather enjoyed their debut album but this one reeks of sophomore slump. Relies way too much on atmosphere/effects at the expense of interesting riffage.

This may be old news, but one band/album I never liked was Vinnie Paul's "Hell Yeah". Absolute dross.

What the fuck? I must have been half asleep and thought this was the "albums currently kicking your ass" thread lol.

I remember seeing that and being a little surprised, but at the same time no one seems to actually praise Jungle Rot for anything. They're like the Meliah Rage of death metal or something.

Hell yeah that album/band sucks.

 

[The Ozzman]

Hard to believe Vinnie Paul wanted to be part of that abomination. Wasted talent behind the kit.

[Phylactery]

Wtf? That album rules. What don’t you like about it?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It sounds like bootleg To Mega Therion to me. Nothing better than its influence, little different aside from some (ordinary) death/thrash bits, inferior in a lot of ways, particularly in terms of idea quantity.

 

[Phylactery]

I can’t deny the obvious Celtic Frost influence, but since when is that a bad a thing. Has some killer riffs and the vocals are sick.

Have you heard Divine Eve’s As the Angels Weep? They were basically a precursor to Crimson Relic but you might like it more.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

so boring. so sloppy.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you're entitled to your opinion and i'd also like to remind you that you're entitled to suicide

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you're entitled to suicide

... yeah sitting through this album right now is indeed making me contemplate ending it all. The best parts about it is when the vocalist tries to go all Schmier at times, gives me a good laugh. And the fact that i'm comparing an amateur hour album like this in any way to Destruction is kind of funny in itself too.
