bands with flawless discographies

[Krow]

Fixed for what he'll actually say. Headless Cross is good. I prefer Cross Purposes and The Eternal Idol though.

I actually really like Tony Martin Sabbath. You should try the album Tyr also if you haven't.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

A lot of the negative criticism directed towards Forbidden over the years has been pretty hyperbolic. The way people constantly harp on Ice-T's contribution you'd think he did vocals on the entire album (in truth that was the record company's original idea) when his verse on "The Illusion of Power" lasts about 15 seconds. It might sound a bit awkward, sure, but not enough to ruin an entire album. The production is also appropriately muddy. Fits the songs rather well. Ranked alongside the other Martin albums, its not as strong as what came before but its far from a terrible album.

 

[The Butt]

Aside from When Death Calls, I'd honestly rather listen to Forbidden than Headless Cross.

Fuck off. Death isn't my favorite metal band and I've been listening to metal for longer than the majority of people here. I agree that some people can get carried away with the love for this band. But, after Scream Bloody Gore, the quality of their albums were remarkably consistent. Only reason I said that they are the closest to having a flawless discography is that most of the metal bands that I like went off the rails at some point in their careers.

TSOP blows. Symbolic kinda does too.

ITP was my first Death album and maybe because of that, it's always been my favorite. I like Symbolic well enough but it is my least favorite of the albums after their debut. That many consider it to be one of the best death metal albums ever is beyond me. I used to think Sound of perseverance wasn't that good also, but I like pulling out that album more than most of their others now

Why don't you like the debut?

I just don't dig it. Given it a few chances. But, I also didn't like Spiritual Healing the first time I heard it-maybe I should give it another go.

Fair enough. Just curious, I happen to have a very high opinion of it, that's all.

That used to be me with Leprosy and Human. I do enjoy both, but I enjoy the latter more.

Scream Bloody Gore is a good album, but it doesn't really do anything better than any of the other albums, so I agree it's probably the weakest effort of the early era. Spiritual Healing is easily Death's strongest album though.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Scream Bloody Gore is the only Death album that seems to have much atmosphere on it. The other albums don't sound nearly so dark or malevolent, and the late period music is completely uninteresting to me. I also find the vocals on the later albums to be a lot less enjoyable.

can we stop wasting bandwidth on Death discussions. Chrissssst what's next, Opeth?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Opeth stole their name from Otep.

[EchoForever]

Nails music is pretty great but i still have no reason why they dont play past the 3 minute mark more often
theyre very interesting but waiting forever for a fucking 20 minute album is tiresome

 

[Psychonaut]

Moonsorrow

 

[Burkhard]

Coroner were the first band to come to my mind for this topic.

Yep I was about to post Coroner. Most people here hate Grin though.

I think I was a bit disappointed when I listened to it for the first couple of times, because most songs were slower than the stuff on their first four albums and some of them also seemed a bit too repetitive/boring to me, but my opinion obviously has changed, because "Grin" has become my most-played Coroner-album.

I love every Anacrusis album and have ranked all of them at all possible spots at various points.

While I can't say that I "love" every Anacrusis album, I'd still say I like them all sufficiently to mention them here.

Other choices are:
Madder Mortem
Hexenhaus (I'm a bit hesitant with this choice, because their debut, which is still one of my overall favourite Thrash Metal albums, got far more spins from me than any of their other three albums, but after listening to them again, they are still good enough to include this band here.)
Mortillery (While I was a bit disappointed by "Shapeshifter" after the first spins, it seems it has now grown on me, so I like it about as much as its two predecessors.)
