Albums you like that most people hate (2008 edition)

[naboo]

Dying Fetus - Everything (I hear a lot of people don't like them, but I think most of their stuff, particularly Killing on Adrenaline and Destroy the Opposition are brilliant... great well written death metal)
Dream Theater - Six Degrees
Iced Earth - Glorious Burden (not as bad as everyone makes it out to be)
Avenged Sevenfold - Waking the Fallen
Cryptopsy - Once Was Not was pretty good

AJFA is one of the best albums of all time in my opinion.

I actually quite like Iowa by Slipknot. Which I'm sure alot of you will gob at me for admitting.

And I like Fate of Norns, Verses The World and With Oden On Our Side by Amon Amarth as well. Not sure why they get so much hate, to be honest.

I also like Black One by Sunn O))) and Disco Volante by Mr Bungle. Though I don't know if they are particularly hated, or just too obscure/niche for people to really give a damn about.

I like Blizzard Beasts wtf

I heard Damned In Black was worse.

 

[Noktorn]

Everything by Mortician.

 

[Zephyrus]

Damned in Black is fucking awesome. Who told you it sucked?

 

[skeptik]

I'm pretty sure it's pretty widely recognized as their worst album. I myself have never heard it, but I don't really care to either.

 

[Zephyrus]

If that's the case, their whole discography must be of consistently high quality (I haven't heard BitN or AtHoW yet).

 

[Manic Ferocity]

At the Heart of Winter is pretty good stuff. Battles in the North is decent but the production bothers me quite a bit.

my friend Greg. he's a huge Immortal fan and actually liked Blizzard Beasts better than Damned In Black

I'm inclined to agree. Blizzard Beasts is actually not that bad, and Damned in Black sounds like a collection of hastily recorded b-sides from the latter-era recordings. It pales in comparison with the two albums around it and isn't really worth the effort.

 

[KevenZ]

As much as I loved Volcano, the new one was a letdown for me. Just meh. :Smug:

You guys should check out Black Altar, listen to the song, The Void, this is HOW Satyricon should have made Now Diabolical.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Where i live And Justice For All is considered their magnum opus

Personally I really do not know many people I would consider metal fans, but the ones I do know usually agreed with what you just said. I think it's their best & I've turned some people on to that album back when I was a kid.

It sucks that Cliff died. I know he wrote a few sections in some songs, but he really was not an integral part of the band. I happen to like Kill 'Em All 2nd best of their albums, & Cliff didn't write shit on that album. The sound of bass never was an important part of their music.

I'm really digging this.

 

[Belligerent]

Damned in Black is fucking awesome

Spoken for the truth. Although I like Sons of the Northern Darkness better.

 

[SentinelSlain]

-Judas Priest - Turbo and Jugulator

I like them too.

 

[The Ozzman]

Spoken for the truth. Although I like Sons of the Northern Darkness better.

I like SoND the best out of the ones I have (Blizzard Beasts and BitN being the other two)

 

[sevag00]

Spoken for the truth. Although I like Sons of the Northern Darkness better.

Agreed.

 

[Vossyrus]

Though you can almost take any album by Dimmu Borgir, a favourite of mine is indeed "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia". Criticized often for its lack of 'black metal-ness' I think that's what makes it a great album. I love the symphonic parts, the seemingly slight industrial vibe found on some songs, suitable production values, variety, and really everything about the album.

 

[Zephyrus]

^^^ Same

But Spiritual Black Dimensions is superior.

Pfffft.
