Albums you like that most people hate (2008 edition)

[Andromidius]

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.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Pfffft.

 

[Sampy Arctica™]

I am almost definitely about to get hated on for this, but it's my choice of music and not yours...

Avenged Sevenfold's latest album.

IMO they're never going to sound any better than they did on Waking the Fallen, another album you all probably would love to huck in a fire, but all the same their new album is alright.

Are You Dead Yet? // CoB

Absolutely love that album. I've heard countless CoB fans hate on the band for coming out with that album and complaining about how 'soft' they've gone, but I am a huge fan of that CD, although Follow the Reaper & Hate Crew Deathroll are probably my favourite CoB albums.
