Controversial opinions on metal

[ProphetofHatred]

Both new Mastodon and Opeth suck. My highly advanced contribution to this topic.

Adaptation to thoughts and changes and other people is natural humanity for to formulate a change of discern.

 

[divine_torture]

Your mom is a change of discern.

 

[Dak]

Your mom still changes your discern.

I have nothing clever or funny to say

You're not a hipster

I've been called a hipster more than once, though not on this board.

Re: New Opeth, I think it's pretty awesome and more comparable to Beardfish than any metal band. And since Beardfish is my favorite contemporary Prog Rock group, that's fine by me

I'm more surprised by the people who are still griping about how the last 3 albums have sounded nothing like Still Life than I am about the general negative reception to Pale Communion.

Beardfish completely shits on Opeth.

I thought the exact same thing when I read the post

What I've heard of the new Opeth is good. I will buy it at some point.

It's fantastic. Album of the year material for me. Pick it up for sure.

Death Angel fucking blows.

 

[Dak]

lolwut?

The Ultra-Violence is really weak and overrated outside of Voracious Souls, generic and forgettable on par with your average/below average demo band.

 

[divine_torture]

I'm serious. I've listened to their first 3 at least 2 or 3 times each to see if I'm missing something. I'm not. Weak ass riffs. Weak ass drums. Weak ass lyrics and vocals. Gay ass production. Wanna be soloing. It's awful, thin, unimaginative, and gayer than Freddy Mercury's naked corpse in a photo with P-Diddy at a Backstreet Boys concert.

 

[The Butt]

Death Angel fucking blows.

That opinion is fucking terrible.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I agree they're pretty over rated. They're not good live either. No stage presence at all.

 

[Dak]

Outside the Ultra Violence, early DA is forgettable. But the reunion stuff has been fantastic, and having seen DA twice, I completely disagree regarding stage presence.

 

[no country for old wainds]

death angel is p meh yeah

 

[waif]

I've only heard Act III, but it's pretty fucking bad. Weak-ass vocals, dull riffing, sterile production, lame songwriting.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Death Angel is garbage.
