ITNE is great but De Mysteriis, Transilvanian Hunger, and Hvis Lyset (or any of the first four Burzum albums really) are all better than it. Come to think of it, ITNE is better than Pure Holocaust but that's about it.
Vikingligr Veldi is the album that INTE should have been.
No, early Burzum (s/t, Aske, Det Som...) doesn't hold a candle to ITNE. There's nothing going on there compositionally that's any better or more interesting than what's going on in ITNE. Same goes for any Darkthrone album. Its only competitor is HLTO. I'm at least willing to admit that that album might be better. But I would love for somebody to actually explain how these other albums are better. I hear pretty much nothing going on in most of that other stuff that is anymore advanced or even as advanced as the material on ITNE. Seriously, Emperor always had loads more raw talent than other second wave Norwegian bands. That's why they ended up getting lost up their own asses later on, because they took it in the wrong direction. But ITNE is overflowing with awesome ideas.
That's absolutely absurd. There's nothing in the material on VV that even approaches the level of talent displayed on ITNE. Seriously, if you want to compare the two albums, then VV is, compositionally, a clumsier and more simplistic version of ITNE.

Filosofem is the best Burzum album imo so not sure who would exlude it, it's pretty much only the best Darkthrone albums that tops it imo.
Anthems should absolutely be excluded, not Filosofem though.

Megadeth isn't thrash.
Rap is just as good as Metal.
The Black Album is a good album.
Slayer's God Hates us All isn't bad, just different.
Kamelot is somewhat good.
Van Halen is a terrible Guitar Player.
I have no more. I don't think, at least.
wut?
No.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
NO.
