Damage Case
I used to enjoy A Matter of Life and Death, but now I find the songs to be unnecessarily long and I can hardly listen to them besides Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, and maybe These Colours Don't Run.
I've never really found AMOLAD to be all that repetitive aside from maybe "For the Greater Good of God". I was wild about that album when it first came out and I still find it to be some of their strongest material. I also love that they didn't master the album. Normally Maiden isn't really the band that comes to mind when you think of "raw" (and no, not "raw" in the 90's black metal sense) or "live" sounding albums, and on any other of their albums that type of production would be distracting but for that particular set of songs it worked.I used to enjoy A Matter of Life and Death, but now I find the songs to be unnecessarily long and I can hardly listen to them besides Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, and maybe These Colours Don't Run.
What's everyone's opinion on Number of The Beast?
I really like that album. Not my favorite, but definitely in my personal top three. Along with Powerslave and Seventh Son.
Number of the Beast and Powerslave are solid, but overall are a bit too poppy and radio-friendly sounding for my taste.
Do you exclusively listen to The Berzerker or something? That seems like the opinion of someone far removed from Heavy Metal in it's essence.
I dont care about 'Heavy Metal in its essence'; I like what I like. Figures you would break out the trve card on me for not loving what is accepted to be Iron Maiden's peak. I never even said I didnt like those albums, but I cant truthfully say I still hold them as go-to albums these days. I will admit that the reason is probably more because of Bruce's vocals than anything else, but even the riffs are somewhat overly catchy and come across to me as more gimmicky than what I like in my heavy metal. This is the controversial opinions in metal thread. Deal with it.
Jesus, no need to piss in your pants, it's pretty ironic that me questioning your opinion about Iron Maiden being poppy is somehow not allowed in a topic about controversial opinions.
How about you consider what I said to be controversial? That way in the future you can react like you aren't a whiny cunt.
lol, and here you were trying to tell me that my sentiments go against the idea of the "essence" of heavy metal (whatever the fuck that is). If you find questioning my opinion the same as accusing me of liking a band you hate, then surely we are done here.
Unorthodox is easily the best thing Edge of Sanity ever did. And in the top 3 Swano-involved releases
