Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

Sludge isn't crap, faggot

 

[Life Sucks]

Isis is one of the worst bands in metal today. And I dislike all bands who sound like them.

 

[The Ozzman]

Except not all sludge sounds like that

And what you said about sludge...I hope Crowbar isn't included in that comment. Boo!

 

[The Ozzman]

Crowbar
Down
Corrosion of Conformity
Soilent Green (Sludge/Grind)

All great bands.

Yeah, Pelican and Isis are a different type of sludge

 

[whiskey funeral]

I believe they are what you call "post-metal". There are a bunch of excellent bands from this sub genre. When I'm in the mood for something less evil/brutal, I throw on some Pelican or Red Sparrowes.

As I've stated on several occasions before, I do not like Reign In Blood, like, at all. But recently I've started listening to Show No Mercy, and, well, I like it a whole lot better than anything I've previously heard by Slayer. Does this redeem me?

(Not that I really care if it does or not, I still don't like RIB)

Wow, im pretty happy with the new DragonForce track. They took the time off and definitely a good sound imho

^You're actually quite right, and it had me moderately surprised. Can't wait to hear this in decent quality. If the rest of the songs on Ultra Beatdown (worst album title ever) are as good as this, it might even be better than Sonic Firestorm.

 

[The Ozzman]

Valley of the Damned is their best and they haven't come close to it since

EDIT: This track is reminiscent of their first album though, so I might actually get this

 

[rms]

Actually i'd say it's not like any of their albums, but it's got the DF vibe to it.

 

[CF87]

Dragonforce number one choice in Dildo's.

(they have vaginas)

 

[mutantllama]

Stop being a faggot.

Shub Niggurath>>>>>>>>>>>>Nerurosis

What lies at the basis of that comparison anyway?
Heaviness?

I happened to be listening to them at the time, and Slayer was being talked about.

Plus Neurosis has been around for 20 something odd years - have released 10 albums - and none of those albums are anything less than spectacular. Slayer has been around for roughly the same amount of time - put out two fantastic albums, one that I personally dislike but understand why people do like, and then the rest were terrible.

On top of that Neurosis has managed to almost reinvent themselves with every release and not fuck up once.

Stoner doom and sludge own the shit out of thrash as well while I'm at it.

Dragonforce...uke:

 

[Life Sucks]

Slipknot > Isis

Dragonforce are better than a lot of power metal, but still not my cup of tea.

 

[Mort Divine]

You've obviously never heard Isis' early material. Mosquito Control and The Red Sea are far more heavy compared to the stuff on their full lengths. Celestial is great too.

If you listened to Oceanic (their best imo), Panopticon, or In the Absense of Truth I'd honestly understand hating them though.
