Albums you like that most people hate (2008 edition)

[Sampy Arctica™]

CoB lyrics are nothing special, that goes without saying. Alot of the people I know that listen to CoB are mainly into the music itself and the lyrics don't really have much meaning to them. Hell, my own parents like CoB but think Alexi should have his lips sewn together!

Im not one of those fat fans, in your face cumflesh

I don't think anybody was calling you one.

 

[ArneZ]

haha think i misread then, anyways COB is better then life itself....

 

[Ender Rises]

Hell, my own parents like CoB but think Alexi should have his lips sewn together!

He should. His voice is horrible. The music is pretty good, really good actually, but I just can't get by that voice. I think they need to hire a singer or something.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Again, His guitar work on Nihil is nothing short of amazing. If didn't dress like such a super-douche then I wouldn't have a problem with him.

Metallica - Load, Reload

 

[Mentok]

Load was my favorite hard-rock era Metallica album. I enjoyed Reload too but just grew out of it faster.

 

[ArneZ]

theres nothing wrong in jerking off with COB as background music, there is just so bad music in porn these days...=)

I enjoy Amon Amarth's With Oden on our Side. They don't deserve to get sandbagged just because they're fanbase are retards.

I didn't realize it was hated. Good stuff.

BTW, I was at one of their concerts and the fans weren't any more retarded than any other show. Just more enthusiastic. People tend to mistake enthusiasm for retardation.

Metallica - Load, Reload

I like those too

Blame Guitar Hero.

DF scene kids predate the entire guitar hero franchise. Blame MTV.

Shadow Warriors > Dragonforce

Blame Guitar Hero.

Heh, I blame them not being on a 1 non metalcore tour

 

[~Neurotica]

I also don't see how With Oden On Our Side is hated.

 

[waif]

Heh, I blame them not being on a 1 non metalcore tour

I saw them with HORSE the Band (transcending awful) and All That Remains (awful). That's only 1/3rd metalcore. And they were headlining. So...less than 1/3rd metalcore.

EDIT: On second thought, metalcore is like an infectious disease. You let any get on you and the whole tour is tainted.

 

[rms]

I did forget though, I think they opened for Maiden in the UK

 

[waif]

oh, right....well, that was a good tour...wish I'd fucking seen it.

Worst tour of all time:
Slipknot
Disturbed
Dragonforce
Mastodon

 

[The Ozzman]

Mastodon is the only bright spot on that tour. Highly overrated at times, but I enjoy their stuff

 

[Matt]

I would probably see Dragonforce and Mastodon. I like Mastodon and I would enjoy seeing Herman Li shred

 

[Zephyrus]

I've seen Mastodon live (unintentionally). Bored me to tears.

 

[waif]

Dragonforce is great live. Seen em twice. I would go again. Mastodon sucks, but doesn't bother me too much. But seeing Dragonforce opening for crap like that...hell no.

I love Heartwork and Swansong by Carcass even though most people say it's their worst two.
