Albums you like that most people hate (2008 edition)

[IWP]

Not so much hated, I guess, as just a style that most people here wouldn't touch with a 90-foot pole.

I fucking love that album!

 

[ohiogrinder]

I love Dragonforce. There. I said it, and I'm not ashamed. In fact, I'm wearing that shirt right now.

just when I thought you couldn't get anymore homo, you say something like this.

 

[IWP]

Tbh, Dragonforce aren't really that bad. Sure, they do get pretty repetative and alot of their fans are "scene kids", but still.

 

[The Ozzman]

Valley of the Damned is the only album you need from Dragonforce.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Tbh, Dragonforce aren't really that bad..

well yeah, if masturbatory guitar solos and cheesy Dungeons & Dragons lyrics are your thing.

 

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

Only their new album gets any hate. I thought it was pretty decent, though.

Haven't seen too much hate for it, I think it's fucking brilliant though...maybe their 2nd best after LAEFS or third after I&O...

[Hatebreeder]

I, too, liked stromblast mmv

Indeed.

I also quite enjoyed their last few albums, particularly the new one.

 

[audiophileguy]

Nightwish - I've liked everything I've heard from them so far

Yeah, it was a let down, but I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be.

 

[lordcatfish]

alice cooper- the early 80's stuff

Some great stuff on those albums, especially Dada.

 

[Nehebkau]

I really love this Satyricon release, I think a lot of people are either angry or disappointed with it, due to the whole "modern" black metal thing. I also loved Volcano.

 

[mdmatt4ever]

pass the gun around



also i forgot this album
skid row- subhuman race (imo their best album)

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Jeezus, I can't stand "Now, Diabolical". I was never too big on Satyricon from the get-go, but I missed out on a few of their releases.

Don't a lot of people talk shit about Emperor's "Anthems to the Welkin Dusk"??

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Not everyone hates it of course, but I never understood why so many people on teh internets could talk so much shit about this album. Great stuff. Too memorable & outplayed at this point for me, but still excellent no matter what.

Not everyone hates it of course, but I never understood why so many people on teh internets could talk so much shit about this album. Great stuff. Too memorable & outplayed at this point for me, but still excellent no matter what.

Any hate for this album is likely due to (1) the thin production (done perhaps intentionally after the bassist died) and (2) the more progressive songwriting, which is a tax on accessibility and thus a deterrent to those into more popular metal. Metallica, in both eras are regarded as a very popular metal band, so when they release an album not so characteristic of a popular metal band, they are bound to get some heat for it (but not from the REAL metal fans, of course).

pass the gun around

Some great guitar work on that song, but for me, Fresh Blood = notworthy

Also, I Love America never fails to make me smile.

lol you faggot

Embrace the inner nerd...and by the way, D&D lyrics would be an improvement. Currently they just string together fantasy sounding words - "The kingdom of the eternal evil of the almighty dragon sword of pooowwweerr!!!! weedly-weedly"

 

[The Ozzman]

Honestly though, I don't know how you can find enjoyment out of IR. VOTD is far superior to the other two albums in their catalog.

 

[sevag00]

I also like ...and Justice for All, pretty good album.

Anyways, Marduks' albums receive a lot of hate in this forum, especially Plague Angel, and Rom 5:12, those where two great releases from them.
