Which AtG albums do you like?
The Red in Sky is good(far from great) and i might be in the minority here, but i think Slaughter of the Soul is listenable. Not much else in their catalogue that's even worth talking about. Havent heard() their new one yet so i cant comment there.
So let me get this straight, Atheist are for people just getting into metal(because we all now how muhc newbs love technical death metal, right? ... but AtG, a band that released the definitive "metal newb" album(Slaughter), aren't? So people who are just getting into metal gravitate more towards technical death metal rather than catchy ass melodeath? aahahhhahah, please just stop.metal band that fans just getting into the genre seem to jerk-off too. But then again, you think Death is amazing so I don't even know the point in arguing here.
The Red in the Sky is Ours is light years ahead of anything by Atheist in terms of writing ... passion, creativity, etc..
Yeah, atheist isnt all that great
Yoda wasn't talking about Slaughter of the Soul.
Probably because The Red in the Sky Is Ours and Slaughter of the Soul are totally different from each other, so using the latter as an argument against people saying that the former is better than Atheist's best music is illogical.
The Red in the Sky is Ours is one of the few other albums that actually sounds like Unquestionable Presence, and both bands were extremely influential for different reasons. I don't see how a person can shit on one and hate the other. I'm definitely a much bigger fan of Atheist on the whole, although I'll admit the first two At the Gates albums have consistently more interesting songwriting while the first two Atheist albums are a bit all-or-nothing. Elements is still the best album between both bands by a landslide though.
Watchtower and Coroner are better than either band, though. Probably Mekong Delta too actually, even though they lack a 10/10 album like Elements. Death metal will always be thrash metal's inferior.
Death metal will always be thrash metal's inferior.
I cannot understand
... you just constantly love proving my point dont you? Im using the latter in an argument against SOMEONE SAYING THAT ATHEIST ARE AN INTRODUCTORY METAL BAND, ALL WHILE PRAISING AND DEFENDING THE KING OF INTRODUCTORY BANDS. need more engwish?
Also, no one said Atheist's best music, and no one compared Slaughter to UP. I clearly stated that the worst/weakest Atheist material is superior to most of AtG catalogue.
