Amorphis good or not?

[HamburgerBoy]

Exodus and Venom never wrote shitty goth music masquerading as metal.

Give 5 examples of how Amorphis is goth music. You may use individual songs.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Sure

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... where exactly do you hear goth in any of those songs?

And god that album sucks.

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah it's one of their worst imo. It's also the only one that could possibly be described as having the slightest 'goth' touch - and even that's tenuous.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Weepy lame melodies and goth pacing all over those songs.

 

[challenge_everything]

Even if that's right, why dismiss their entire catalogue based on one album? Stylistically their other albums are completely different.

By the same logic Metallica is a goth band.

 

[CiG]

Not sure how it's possible to hate that album.

Post some of their good music (without posting anything from their first album and EP).

Not sure how it's possible to hate that album.

Not sure how it's possible for some try-hard tr00 chucklefuck to enjoy it.

lmao is that what I am?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you guys are hilarious

 

[HamburgerBoy]

lmao is that what I am?

To a significant extent.

What do you like about the album?

 

[CiG]

To a significant extent.

I pretty much don't even listen to black metal though. I mean, what exactly about me is tr00?

What do you like about the album?

The diversity of styles, the keyboards, the combination of death metal vocals and clean vocals. I like it for basically all the reasons you tr00 fags seem to hate it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What diversity of styles? It's basically the same shit over and over.

 

[CiG]

Death metal, doom metal, progressive metal, keyboard music, gothic music. I'm not saying it's New York City but I appreciate the degree of diversity it has.

 

[challenge_everything]

It's a transition album, by any account.

Why the caveat? I already said I thought The Karelian Isthmus was their best. I just thought the comment "entirely shit" was stupid when you were obviously generalising their entire catalogue based on Tales alone.

Nobody said anything to the contrary.

Dammit, you just had to go and ruin the fun didn't you? I was expecting some funny ass response. I am disappoint

When did we start talking about Venom's 1980s releases?

Ozz with an absolutely original zinger!
