Controversial opinions on metal

[Zephyrus]

Lol.
One of their more famous songs..

Along with half the songs they wrote.

 

[Black Friday]

Along with half the songs they wrote.

How many #1 songs did they have exactly?

 

[Zephyrus]

27.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

27.

beatles were great man... some of the early stuff is a bit too hokey for my tastes but they've made some excellent albums...
as far as classic rock goes these days i'd say however that zep and floyd are my favs

The only good heavy metal band is Impaled Nazarene, everything else is just different levels of terrible.

You're to noob to say that.

 

[DarkBliss]

If he's the Noktorn from the Metal-Archives forums, then he's definitely not a noob.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Wow, that's a pretty random metal band to refer to as the 'only good one'.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Wow, that's a pretty random metal band to refer to as the 'only good one'.

seriously

 

[S<issors]

He's kidding, I assume : P

 

[DarkBliss]

It could be the only metal band he's still listening to.

 

[sevag00]

But he can't say that is the best metal band.

 

[DarkBliss]

There is no such thing as "best" anything, tbh. It's all rooted in personal experience.

 

[False Joe]

I like the fact a trollish comment has started a discussion.

 

[Life Sucks]

Altars of Madness is overrated (controversial opinion)

 

[DarkBliss]

It's indeed very overrated.
Massacra would be also extremely overrated if they were talked about here more often. I cannot go through one track of Final Holocaust without yawning. No rhythmic captivity, no nothing. Just riffs piled one on top the other.

 

[Killbot]

Altars of Madness is overrated (controversial opinion)

I agree. As is Blessed Are The Sick. In fact those two are my least favourite MA albums.

 

[Life Sucks]

But Massacra aren't overrated, since they are so kvlt. The thing with AoM is that it isn't even MAs best. BatS is a more mature and evolved effort, with which the band reached their peak IMO.

 

[DarkBliss]

BATS is more doomy and both better structured and better produced. But the neuter guitar tone still spoils it for me. The vocals are great, though.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I agree about BATS guitar tone...I can't get into the album because it sounds like crap. Overall I find MA highly overrated and like plenty more early death metal bands better, but they were very fuckin' influential and I comprehend that and respect it.

 

[DarkBliss]

Yea, huge respect for them, anyway. In fact, I listened to BATS again today.
