Bands you feel are overrated

[skeptik]

I will have to say Darkthrone. The first few albums are good, but really there's nothing brilliant about them. Now they're just derivative.

I assume by "they're" you mean "Darkthrone", because to suggest that something can become derivative over the span of time would be absurd.

If you want to be cute about it, I'll explain. In saying "now they're," I was referring to "now, at their present stage they are..." So I am saying that at the present stage of their career, the music they create is derivative. Happy now?

 

[skeptik]

I wasn't being cute, I was clarifying your statement. Your statement was vague and could have been interpreted as saying "there's nothing really brilliant about [the first few albums]. Now [those albums] are just derivative" due to the way you worded it. I assumed that you meant the band and not the albums, but I wanted to be sure.

I agree they really haven't done anything worth mentioning for years.

Black Sabbath definitely gets more praise, than they deserve, they fucking sucked back then, and suck ten times as much nowadays.

1: Well, that's your opinion. I personally think they deserve the praise they get, but well, that's my opinion.

2: They don't exist "nowadays", so yeah, you're right

Well, I basically meant, that time hasn't been good for their old albums. And I do recognzie them as one of the creators of heavy metal, and for that they deserve praise, but they also receive praise for making good music which is bullshit.

 

[mutantllama]

But uh, they did make good music
So really

Well, that's just like your opinion, man.

Okay, I'm gonna get killed:

Bathory
Tales of Medusa
Jag Panzer
Atlantean Kodex
Orodruin
Ulcerate
Augury
Slough Feg (they have great albums/songs for sure, it's just.. not enough for how much praise they get)

 

[Necroraven]

Tales of Medusa
Orodruin
Ulcerate
Augury

I've never heard of these. But I agree on Atlantean Kodex.

And as for Bathory, I think their viking metal albums are overrated, but the old albums are massively underrated.

 

[CF87]

Jag Panzer resemble if they were from 1800, but they have electric guitars. Pretty interesting concept despite a lot of their stuff being samey.

[Wolves83]

Fuk that, Bathory is not overrated

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Agreed. Emperor just make annoying music. Can't stand symphonic black metal. Add the fact that SYMPHONIC black metal makes no sense.

well considering you hate black metal thats pretty much a given. honestly its sort of like someone who hates classical music saying "the marriage of figaro is a piece of shit".

 

[Belligerent]

Emperor are fucking great.

 

[Masked Jackyl]

Pantera
dream theater
trivium ( and all other unoriginal malcore bands)
80's era judas preist ( 70's era was amazing and is underrated)
new thrash bands like bonded by blood, mercyless death etc.
exodus
Big 4

I like some black metal, just not a lot of the stuff that people here like that sucks. Anything black metal that comes out people on this board swarm to like flies on shit. And shit up the entire forum with countless shitty black metal bands with youtube vids all over.

I like classical music. As far as I know majority of black metal is not classical. If darkthrone,mayhem,etc.. is considered classical along with majority of black metal do not even know. Do you even know shit ?

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Augury

I agree, too much emphasis on technicality and not enough on songwriting.

Its called an analogy dumbass. I didn't say classical music WAS black metal. I said that its no surprise that YOU dislike Emperor since you don't like black metal. Thus it was rather redundant of you to mention it in the first place. It would be like someone who dislikes clasical music saying that "the marriage of Figaro sucks". It would be obvious that such a person does not like that work, indeed it would be redundant to say such a thing just as it is redundant for you to shit on ITNE since we all know you don't like black metal... excuse me 2nd wave black metal (i.e. 98% of black metal).

 

[JontRevolting]

Mayhem
In Flames
Xasthur
Entombed
Canadian War Metal (Other then AoA)

There we go.

I agree apart from the canadian War Metal,AoA are great but they are on the tame side as far as the genre goes.Sounds like you're as fond of War metal as I am of brutal/slam DM.
