Controversial opinions on metal

[ProphetofHatred]

Yeah honestly most of Black Sabbath is boring. They obviously have some amazing songs though. My favorite is still Heaven and Hell (which I'm sure is controversial)

 

[no country for old wainds]

^go away thx

Also, I know I've said it before, but Hole in the Sky is one of Sabbath's very worst songs of the 70s and is pretty much responsible for every derivative stoner/"desert" rock shitfest of the 90s.

agree with this though

Where are you from foreigner? and also id be willing to give the album another shot, give me a link to your favorite song.

The sound on Watchtower's two masterpieces : Energetic Dissasembly + Control & Resistance mostly ruins the music for me. The guitars are thin, the excellent riffs can barely be discerned, and the vocals arent too great either therefore I mostly find myself listening to other (not even close to the same in technical or chaos factor) tech bands like Toxik, Coroner, etc.

Everyone could really benefit from a rerecording of those albums.

Obviously these two have it all.

If I had to listen too that Ozzy song changes all day I'd fucking kill myself.

 

[KafkaX]

Its a Black Sabbath song, and yes I agree.

If there is one Ozzy song I wish would fucking never see the light of day again, it would be Crazy Train.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Crazy Train is a crazy tease. That beginning solo sounds promising as fuck then it gets all pop/rocky and lame.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I really enjoy Blizzard of Ozz all the way through. Thankfully I never heard him much on the radio as a kid, so Crazy Train suffers no overplaying for me. Mr. Tinkertrain, on the other hand, is probably my least favorite song about pedophilia.

I kinda agree with HamburgerBoy on Black Sabbath and the filler department. Most of their albums are just boring as fuck, sorry.

I'm not saying the albums are bad at all, just that most of the Ozzy ones have at least one song that seems pretty unnecessary. They actually got more consistent once Dio joined, but at the expense of less 10/10 total classic songs.

If anything I think liking the production on those would be controversial, which I support. I love how wiry the guitar tone is on the debut, contrasted with that really up-front bass and those electric drum fills everywhere, really distills that 80s dystopian sound. I definitely wish more of the tech-thrash scene tried to do what they did. I think the closest thing I've ever found to an Energetic Disassembly soundalike is from an avant-prog/RIO band of all things, Thinking Plague's Warheads. Watchtower is just so fucking good.

mercyful fate >>>>

 

[HamburgerBoy]

hey Buttface, where was burgerboys facepalm count at?

What do you consider to be the worst song on the first two Dio albums?

 

[The Butt]

hey Buttface, where was burgerboys facepalm count at?

Counting the one I'm giving now:

HB Facepalm Count: 7.

I guarantee his facepalm count will hit 10,000 before my post count does.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Consider my question applicable to you too. What is the worst song on the first two Dio Sabbath albums, E5150 aside?
