Controversial opinions on metal

[Bitencourt29]

^ They're a band I've always tried to get into, without success. Perhaps I should try the one you mentioned (listened to Choronzon, The Goat of Mendes and Antichrist).

 

[The Emptier]

Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone is their best IMO

 

[divine_torture]

Ok. Why you're being mad about it. It's not like a crime to dislike a band.

It's not that I dislike them. I just get bored after a few songs in succession.

Do you also use a Mac and have AIDS? That's the vibe I'm getting here.

I use a Mac, dickweed.

 

[The Ozzman]

So you have AIDS?

^ They're a band I've always tried to get into, without success. Perhaps I should try the one you mentioned (listened to Choronzon, The Goat of Mendes and Antichrist).

Don't bother. This band tries to be progressive and falls on its face. Utterly trite and a waste of time. They can't even do black metal correctly either.

Definitely give the other two a shot. Their debut is less complex, more straightforward, and death metal oriented, so it's a bit easier to get into I think. And Words That Go Unspoken is their most varied and unique album, and possibly my favourite. I enjoy all of their albums though.

Are you even listening to the right band?

They aren't trying to be Opeth or anything so I'm not sure what you're complaining about. And black metal? Death metal is clearly the core of their sound.

I have AIDS...butt secks happened.

Sorry to hear that, bruh.

Akercocke is a mediocre band, and they certainly will never sound as evil as bands like Beherit or Incantation. That's all that I have to say on that matter.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Good.

Johan Längqvist is undoubtedly the most overlooked and underrated vocalist in metal music.

Only because people new to Candlemass assume it's Messiah. Everyone that isn't undermensch loves his vocals.

 

[General Zaroff]

His vocals on that album are really great.

 

[Thralldom]

I want to hear the Anthology 1980-1982 compilation from Jonah Quizz. That's another band where he sings.

 

[DrSkye]

Cold Lake wasn't that bad and Warrior just did it to fuck with everyone.

 

[The Butt]

Yeah, Cold Lake wasn't that bad.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Cold Lake is pretty much unlistenable, as is Vanity/Nemesis.

EDIT: That said, I wouldn't call it a glam metal album. Anyone that thinks it sounds like Guns 'n Roses fails. It's just a really really bad mix of traditional and thrash metal, the stylistic change further emphasizing the sheer ass that was Tom G Warrior's pre-Monotheist voice.

 

[The Butt]

You're unlistenable.

 

[Acemath]

Reading this thread for quite sometime now and starting to wonder that people who post here, just post to piss other people off, and never really have the opinion they try to state here??

Next one is my opinion( Really ): Where Legend began from English Dogs is a fantastic album

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You're unlistenable.

What makes Cold Lake not that bad to you?

 

[The Butt]

It fucking rocks (or at least, a few of the songs do anyways), that's what makes it not that bad.

 

[skeptik]

Cold Lake is a lot better than its reputation. Even the lyrics aren't as gay as you'd think they would be (which, in fairness, would be very, very gay).
