Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

Crystal Logic definitely seems to be the fan favourite. Metal is my favourite though these days.

I've only listened to Crystal Logic all the way through but I've been meaning to go back and check them out again. It used to be one of my favorite albums and I always thought the vocals were awesome as fuck despite what many others said.

I've got a huge stack of Manilla Road albums but my focus is always on Crystal Logic and Invasion.
I need to pick up Dreams of Eschaton soon.

Invasion never did do much for me as a whole. Still good though.

I recorded this nearly 10 years ago now. Dark times...

I guess your logo skills have been improving since then at least.

First 4 MR albums only. The rest can fuck off.

Fuck no.

The Deluge is my favorite, but really just about all of their 80s output is fantastic.

 

[The Ozzman]

Fuck no.

Fuck yes

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

The Deluge is tops for me when it comes to MR.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Manilla Road do have some really awesome albums, but the production on some of them and the vocals put me off from really getting into them the way I'd like to. They do write outstanding riffs, though. The only heavy metal band that beats them on that front is Mercyful Fate.

Is the upcoming Metallica album gonna suck?

[The Ozzman]

It definitely won't top Dystopia in terms of Big 4 releases

Is it controversial to say XI was better than Dystopia? (I realize MC aren't a big four band)

 

[EternalMetal]

In terms of album sales it will. Dave will be fuming, just wait.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Your loss on that front.

You know, that's a tough choice for me. XI was pretty strong for a reunion album (in terms of a classic vocalist coming back). It was a grower and Signal Path is one of the best MC cuts ever.

Sales don't mean shit when it comes to quality though. I know you weren't suggesting that but just throwing it out there. I find critical acclaim more interesting than sales.

To be fair I'm probably biased since I'm a much bigger Metal Church fan even though Megadeth is easily my favorite of the Big four not that that's saying much coming from me. IX really feels like it could've been put out right after Blessing in disguise. It's almost as if they could've replaced The Human Factor with IX and it would've worked.
