Albums that have aged well/poorly

[Evil Dead]

Angel Dust by Faith No More was way ahead of it's time. I may not be the perfect judge for this though, because I only bought it around a year ago.

Faith no More always ruled.

Really I think you are nitpicking here. The themes of drug addiction and of religious frauds and how politicians throw away human lives for their own gain in war are themes that have been around for centuries and will continue to be so. While these specific songs may have been inspired by specific events in the 80's the broader themes themselves are timeless.

My thoughts exactly. I don't see where any of the songs speak specifically about cocaine or any of the other bullshit that's being debated. You could easily interpret crystal meth or many of the other more common drugs associated with 2007. This is how the album withstands the test of time and always will.

chop your breakfast on a mirror
- Metallica, "Master Of Puppets"

Don't think that's what you do with crystal meth, but I'm no expert.

 

[Wolves83]

Dimmu Borgir's Ethrone Darkness Triumphant still sounds modern to me. I say it hasn't aged yet.

Their album, Stormblast, original, has, though.

 

[Wires & Waves]

you black metal license is officially revoked

 

[Schmielden]

this is a fucking terrible post. Songs have to be creative, short and a quick impact on the listener? tell that to varg from burzum or michael from opeth, idiot.

I don't think these bands will remain in the history of Music and someone will remind them in 100 years. But it doesn't mean that they are not great bands.

But today, long songs seem to be almost boring and there are less bands that create long songs than in the 80th or 90th.

And don't treat me like an idiot or trisomic, I just constat, I do not judge. Keep your insults for your fucking ass hole.

Yes long pieces of music tend to be completely forgotten after a hundred years... just like Beethoven's 9th symphony.

 

[Schmielden]

I believe that some groups or albums will remain, like "reign in blood", because it can be heard like a revolution into metal, even music.

Change the line to "Stick your breakfast into a lightbulb that has it's end chopped of an put a lighter under it, then wait for it to be ready..." and it would apply to meth.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Why is assumed that the song is just about cocaine? The line "needlework the way" is clearly a heroin reference.

Anyway, I teach health to 9th graders and I use the song Master of Puppets to get the kids attention at the start of our addiction/high risk behavior unit. I have the students read the lyrics and we discuss the overall broader theme of addiction; we do not sit around discussing specifically cocaine.

I've been teaching for 10 years and using the song for 5 and I can tell you that using Master of Puppets has stimulated some of the best discussions I've ever had in my class. Not only do many kids open up about their experiences with family members, but many of them really get into talking about the interpretation of lyrics and different styles of music.

Those reading this thread should look up the lyrics to the song, read them and see if they don't apply to today's world. To say that hardly anyone is addicted to hard drugs is extremely naive. I have never had a class where at least a handful of kids didn't personally know someone who became the "puppet", and I teach in a wealthy school district (not that it matters, addiction is a universal problem).

somehow i dont think that metal is a good tool for teaching the dangers of high risk behavior.

and why cant the song be about drugs in general?

 

[Carl Hungus]

Um... ok.

 

[rfe]

I'd say Agalloch's first album has aged very well, even with sub-par production, it's genius is still intact. In Flames, At The Gates, Celtic Frost, Death, Gorguts and Saturnus had early albums that aged very well.

 

[zoidberg]

Um... ok.

your Lars Ulrich arent you? everyone hates you go rape yourself. that did not come out right, but when i typed it i meant it, and you deserve to hear it.

 

[Carl Hungus]

What in the world? I don't think this is my kind of forum (no offense to those of you who don't act like this). With school starting up next week I won't have time for this kind of thing anyway, so take care.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Dimmu Borgir's Ethrone Darkness Triumphant still sounds modern to me. I say it hasn't aged yet.

Their album, Stormblast, original, has, though.

The production was outdated even at its time, but I think the music in general is still pretty good to listen to even today. I'm glad they rerecorded it, too.

 

[ohiogrinder]

I agree.

Something tells me Schmielden has down syndrome.
