Albums currently kicking your ass

[Kreator/Destroyer]

I'm on the side of the fence saying this album was phenomenal...Honestly Rosetti has a very haunting and powerful voice...I say this album is up there with Precambrian

 

[IntoPhagist]

Way to listen to their two shitty albums.

Both are classic, just because metalcore bands worship them doesn't make them bad.

Nevermore - Obsidian Conspiracy

 

[Manic Ferocity]

They're bad because they sound uninspired and lack original songwriting compared to their first two albums.

 

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

So in other words, they sound bad to you compared to other works by the band that are basically a completely different style. Well...yeah. Things must be seen in their own context in order for a relevant opinion to be formed on them, though.

Or he could just, you know, base his judgment on the fact that he finds their earlier style better.

Why? I don't need to take into account that the two eras of the band are different in order for me to say Slaughter of the Soul sucks and The Red in the Sky is Ours is brilliant. I also gave reasons why I don't like their latter-day albums so I hardly see how the context was dismissed anyway.

 

[Krow]

Not bad for the dollar I paid for it.

At The Gates are awesome all the way through, I love all their albums. Not sure why SOTS gets such bad press from a lot of people, its a wildly different style from their earlier stuff but still very good.

Also:

 

[DEATH_TO_THE_FALSE]

 

[ASD]

sold my soul to manilla road

EDIT: @Inso, post of epic win, in fact whole page of win!

Darkwor - Foederati

I am guessing I probably wouldn't like the content, but the album art is pure win.

 

[ThrashizFTW!]

Traditional Heavy metal.

It's because they showed with their first EP and LP what they were capable of producing, and thus SOTS came across as consciously dumbed down. Had they only released that album it wouldn't be as big of a deal.
