Controversial opinions on metal

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, Pitchfork really loves the new Deafheaven album? Wow, what a big surprise?!

I'm pretty sure it's a prerequisite before consideration of employment there.

I was overstating it and you kind of seem like a dick.

good, i was simply stating it was idiotic. I was overstating it!

I think it's the most well-known and iconic song and the most accessible, but not the best.

I would have guessed that would be Pad modly.

Vykoupení is the best ftr.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Zapálili Jsme Onen Svět and Útok are the best.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Third and fourth worst, respectively.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Motörhead is a much better band than Iron Maiden.

 

[Omni]

I find that opinion to be pretty acceptable in regards to the full careers of both bands.

As do I. But if you try telling that to a Maiden fan? Good luck disentangling yourself from the ceaseless barrage of rustled jimmies and text walls of incoherent gibberish laced with more Spanish profanity than your average living room in Madrid when the press releases the latest national economic reports.

The tone of that post makes me regret sort of agreeing with your previous one.

What tone are you referring to particularly?

 

[Omni]

Any post about rustling jimmies is basically automatically questionable.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I feel a question about whether my papers are in order incoming, punctuated with me getting thrown into a cargo train's box car...

 

[The Ozzman]

Motörhead is a much better band than Iron Maiden.

No, but welcome to the boards

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Yes, and thanks for the welcome.

 

[CiG]

That's a no-brainer, Iron Maiden were godly but their shelf life was quite sad.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

If you're saying what I think you are, then pretty much. Albums like Killers, the eponymous debut, Powerslave are proof of their being one of the greatest ever, but when you get into how well they've been doing for the last 20 years, at least in terms of albums? Jesus Christ, it's awful. The Book of Souls gives me some hope though. Motörhead on the other hand, continually and almost inexplicably released great album after great album for essentially their entire 40 year run (with the exception of March Ör Die and maybe Snake Bite Love I suppose).

 

[CiG]

That's what I'm saying, yes.
Consistency out the fucking window.

 

[Krow]

I kinda like March or Die. Surely not the worst $5 album I've bought.

I like it a lot. The only reason I don't favor it as much is because it doesn't quite stand up to the extraordinary bar of quality set by the veritable panoply of great albums that precede and succeed it.
