Controversial opinions on metal

[waif]

tRitSiO = The Red In The Sky Is Ours by At The Gates.
I think it's overrated, but still all kinds of awesome.

 

[General Zaroff]

I like TRITSIO, but far from my favorite album, overall. Surely one of my favorite Death Metal albums though.

On a kinda related, kinda not related note about MA, you guys watch the DVD that comes with the 2006 re-issue of Altars? The part where the guy jumps on stage and wipes his hand on Azagthoth's sweaty arm and wipes it on himself in a gay way is fucking hilarious.

Dream Theater are so bad they are unlistenable.

Somewhere in Time is one of Maiden's best albums.

Judas Priest's first four albums trump the rest of their catalog. Painkiller is highly overrated.

Judas Priest's first four albums trump the rest of their catalog.

That one certainly isn't controversial, aside from Rocka Rolla being a part of those first four. I pretty much agree completely, although I'd take Screaming For Vengeance over Stained Class.

 

[electric death]

Screaming for Vengeance I feel is their most consistent album of the 80's, as it doesn't contain any complete crap songs like Hot Rockin' or United, but I rate Stained Class as their second best, right under Sad Wings of Destiny, perhaps the greatest metal album of all time.


Oh also, the two Maiden albums with Di'Anno were the best things they ever did.

 

[The Ozzman]

Hot Rockin' is an awesome song wtf

Defenders of the Faith is better than Screaming for Vengeance, but only slightly.

 

[Life Sucks]

Tritsio?


I hate Beatles early material. They got good when they got into drugs.


Probably a popular answer, but Zep and Floyd are my fav's too.

I don't hate the Beatles, but their music is not my cup of tea AT ALL.

 

[General Zaroff]

I actually want to check out some of their music, just not sure where to start.

 

[Zephyrus]

Start with Abbey Road and work backwards.

 

[General Zaroff]

Start with Abbey Road and work backwards.

Somehow I knew you would instantly show up, thanks.

 

[Black Friday]

Dream Theater are so bad they are unlistenable.

After Metropolis Pt. 2, yeah, they are.

Get either The White Album, Abbey Road or Revolver. The White Album is a good starter because it's a double album.

 

[The Ozzman]

After Metropolis Pt. 2, yeah, they are.

No.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Start with Abbey Road and work backwards.

pretty solid advice actually

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Dream Theater are so bad they are... *is choked by a mysterious force*

Fixed.

*Really fixed.

 

[DarkBliss]

What mystical force?
And it's *choked*. Chocked is something else entirely.

Now it's fixed.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Well, Killers certainly is.

 

[DarkBliss]

That's hardly controversial.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

True. To make up for the lack of controversy in that last post, I'll say that No Prayer for the Dying is better than the two albums before it and every album after as well.

 

[Life Sucks]

The first two Iron Maiden albums are my least favorite. How's that for controversial? My favorite is Powerslave.
