Agreed. Owens over Barlow. I was never an Iced Earth fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed Glorious Burden more than the earlier material.

Hello there
I'm getting tired of listening to what would otherwise be a great song/album that is completely ruined by a shitty vocalist and horrible vocals in generals (ideas, melodies, etc).
Exhibit A:
The vocals on this album are amateurish at best. It's just fucking horrible. GOD

Nah, Cirith Ungol is a case where over-the-top-ness is a good thing. I don't think he's necessarily the best they could have had, though.
Kreator's 'industrial' albums are the only ones I can think of that are actually made near-unlistenable due to bad vocals.

The Gettysburg trilogy is the only thing worth listening to on The Glorious Burden imo.

O my God, fuck yes, thank you! That trilogy is arguably the best thing Iced Earth has ever done.

I would never listen to that based on the band name / album art alone.

That album art is so fucking metal it hurts. Worth listening to just for that lol But obviously because they fucking rule.

Agrypnie was one I got really tired of pretty quickly (not a fan of the vocal processing and the drum machine sounded too mechanical) but the others are awesome. Shining is motherfucking fantastic. V - Halmstad is a masterpiece.

He was talking about lame band names that are much worse than Cirith Ungol.
Shining sucks just from the lame publicity stunt that their woe-is-me twat of a lead singer pulled a few years back. A shame it was just for publicity and not true. That's almost as bad as Velvet Cacoon.

Cirith Ungol is a LotR reference. One, I absolutely hate that boring book. Two, I think it's incredibly lame to name your band after a fantasy reference. That's my problem with that name.
Lifelover is a pretty silly name, I'd almost call them a guilty pleasure because they don't really have many of the typical elements I find interesting in a band. I'm not usually a fan of drum machines, for instance. For some reason though, they give me a strong emotional reaction, especially the Erotik and Konkurs albums.
Alcest isn't a bad name, not sure what it means. Same with Agrypnie. Not sure what that means.
Peste Noire is a great name. Les Discrets is fine, not a really great name but whatever.
I read the explanation for the name Shining and I found it a bit silly. I did spend a few years hearing about Shining before I listened to them.
What's the Shining publicity stunt, btw? I don't really keep up on what bands do in the metal scene. I think Shining's music videos are fucking atrocious however.

Shining is possibly one of the worst 'big name' black metal bands around today. I might actually willingly listen to Krallice or Liturgy before them.

All those bands are kinda gay-ish, but I think that putting Krallice and Liturgy together in one sentence is a strech. I know first Krallice album and it stands out among all of those other faggot bands that you're discussing.
