Bands/albums you want to like, for some reason

[no country for old wainds]

also none so vile is an overrated piece of shit and always has been, blasphemy made flesh is better and even that isn't worth bothering with

 

[The Ozzman]

Testament is great
Anthrax is shit

 

[rms]

Testament is consistently average/good. Nothing mindblowing imo but it's ok. Alot better thrash bands to listen to instead I think

 

[no country for old wainds]

like, for example, DESTRUCTION

 

[waif]

Um...not really.
Destruction are good, but I'd say Testament are better.

 

[no country for old wainds]

good sir, this is nonsense!

 

[Belligerent]

Testament is meh
Anthrax is shit

[dante_3_16]

when i wanted to hear for first time children of bodom they caught me in a instant i remember it was touch like angel of death and they still one of my favorite bnads

 

[Blind Guardian]

I find it odd that I got into Nespithe rather quickly, but TRitSiO hasn't even clicked with me yet. Especially since I'm a longtime death metal connoisseur.

The best way to really enjoy tritsio is with the lyric booklet in your hand,the lyrics on that album(and Gardens Of Grief) are true poetry,when you read the lyrics at the same time you listen it´s like an extra dimension. They dont even always have to mean something to you,they´re just so beautifully written. I think the most painting description of death ever is a line in "All Life Ends" from "Gardens Of Grief":

"Death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning,
Light cast upon every secret,
just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades
and all is dark..."

 

[DarkBliss]

What version of the album do you have? I own Peaceville's reissue of TRiTSiO from 2003, it doesn't include the lyrics booklet.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I have the very same but i always make my own booklets to crappy ones that dont have lyrics on them.

 

[cannibal corpse]

Band names have always been a preference for me, but by no means what makes a band good or not. But I found quite a few great bands by selecting names I like the most.

 

[Xorv]

I'm the only person here who likes Killswitch Engage. Fire up the ballistas.

 

[Dark seeker]

i loved horror show by iced earth
tried to get into dark saga i wanted to like it the name the cover looked awsome but never really liked the music except one song which was a dissapointment

 

[Hatebreeder]

I'm the only person here who likes Killswitch Engage. Fire up the ballistas.

You've got my company, at least. The End of Heartache is a damn good album, as is As Daylight Dies to a lesser extent. But they only really got good after they got Howard Jones, because before they were painfully generic.

 

[Evil?]

I don't even like KSE, but I think the general consensus is the exact opposite of that. When they had Jesse they were one of the early bands of that style and were praised pretty well. They got Howard and went really mainstream, got generic and a lot of old fans stopped caring about them. That has been my experience with almost any KSE fan I have encountered.
