Controversial opinions on metal

[Onder]

Ok I'm into the fourth song on the new Megadeth and kinda drunk too with more free time left but I still don't have time for this, sorry.

We needed to know this.

You're welcome

Divine Intervention is more redundant as are your opinions.

I haven't been drunk at 5pm for a long time now, however, new Megadeth is great and all that remains is to judge whether it's better than Endgame.

I would say it is.

 

[Gargamel Bojangles]

It's kinda like the Maury show.They have like 3 topics.

 

[CiG]

Lyrics aren't as important as the music.

No genre is as lame as gore grind though​

Carcass > Tool.

Also aren't you a Slipknot fan?

[CiG]

Slipknot is pure shit.

Every now and then I will hear a death metal band that i like but as a general rule I find the genre to be cheesy and redundant

Lol @ a Tool fan calling any genre of music "redundant".

 

[CiG]

I despise those wiggly pseudo-eastern rhythms Tool popularised and now infest youtube in the form of millions of jam/practice/wankfest videos.

 

[The Butt]

I just find the songwriting and lack of flow really grating.

It's like... "Okay boys. We're gonna write a song in 15/8 that changes to 12/8 halfway through. Now throw in some tom rolls in the drum beat so we have a groovy feel here. Perfect. Absolutely fucking solid, we're so fucking prog now."

 

[CiG]

Also the singer fucking sucks.

Moved some posts from the brutal death metal rec thread to here because it was completely irrelevant to the initial topic.

Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush the Insects

Okay, so one time through and this is what I think:

Standout tracks - Doom Over the World, The Devil Rides Out, Eternal Forest

So, I don't know if it's just been a long time, but I don't remember Reverend Bizarre having hooks like in the first two songs. I did listen to In The Rectory... a long time ago and wasn't really into it. Overall I liked it more than I thought I would. Definitely a Sabbath influence there (duh), but it was subtle enough to maintain some originality.

I plan on listening to it a few more times before scoring it. With doom metal, I will sometimes zone out with the music because it's kinda good for that. The only thing I didn't like was the first two tracks being mid-paced and then the third song slows down significantly. That killed the groove I was having for a minute, but that's a minor gripe.

Overall not bad. Thanks for the rec!

I think Omni actually mentioned that II: Crush The Insects is unique in their discography because it's their catchiest, most accessible album. Which it definitely is!

Yeah I caught that. Is it significantly different from their final full length?
