Controversial opinions on metal

[Vilden]

Hammerheart is obviously the best album of 1990, it's the best album ever so...

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Rust In Piece is overrated - especially on this board, imo.

Well that is just retarded.

Bathory - Hammerheart
Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom
Carnage - Dark Recollections
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Manilla Road - Courts of Chaos
Massacra - Final Holocaust
Merciless - The Awakening
Morgoth - The Eternal Fall
Obliveon - From This Day Forward
Root - Zjevení
Sadus - Swallowed in Black
Sextrash - Sexual Carnage

> Painkiller

Rust In Piece is overrated - especially on this board, imo. You really think Painkiller is the best of 1990? Here is a quick list of albums I can think of that are better (without going to look up albums from that year)

Artillery - By Inheritance
Bathory - Hammerheart
Trouble - S/T
Nocturnus - The Key
Deicide - S/T

Hammerheart is one of my favorite albums of that year but I don't like it as much as Painkiller. I think the Deicide album is great by death metal standards but is no where near as good as Painkiller. I've listened to the Artillery album in the past but I can't remember how I felt. Haven't heard these others.

You could at least mention your picks for 1990 or some of your favorites from that year.

Sorry buddy I was eating dinner. Hammerheart instantly comes to mind.

Also V by Saint Vitus, Storm Warning by Count Raven, hell I'll take Sexual Carnage by Sextrash!

Edit: oh @Slayed Necros beat me to it.

How would you feel if someone said Powerslave was the best metal album of 1984?

 

[MrTagoMago]

Behind Rusty Waters I seem to be everyone's favorite person to disagree and argue with. It's like folks are ready to nail me to the cross no matter what I say lol.

 

[CiG]

You post the most in the controversial opinions thread haha, what did you expect?

Powerslave is a fine choice I guess.

I think it sucks donkey balls compared to Painkiller

You're insane. No wonder you love this specific thread.

Actually I've been pretty open that I don't care for Iron Maiden. I picked that one because it tends to be the most favored from what I've seen. If I had to pick a favorite metal album for 1984 I'd go with Metal Churches debut or if I can include demos I'd choose Voivod's To the death demo.

 

[CiG]

Metal Church is a great choice too.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Metal Church is a great choice too.

Glad we can agree on that

CROWN UPON HIS HEAD, KING OF ALL THE DEEEEEAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGHDDDDDDD!

 

[CiG]

1984 was an amazing year for metal. Hail To England and King Of The Dead!

 

[Satanstoenail]

Ride the Lightning fucken

 

[MrTagoMago]

Ride the Lightning fucken

Its my favorite Metallica album easily but still not one of my favorite thrash albums.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Its my favorite Metallica album easily but still not one of my favorite thrash albums.

Cool. It's my fave Metallica along with Puppets and they are both absolutely the pinnacle of the genre imo.

 

[CiG]

Yeah have to agree, Ride The Lightning is top quality thrash metal.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Coma of Souls is fucking horrible, a sad attempt at selling out towards a Bay Area sound, and I really don't understand how People of the Lie (a veritable 0/10 song) is one of their most popular. I'd take Endorama over it.

You couldn't be any more wrong about this. It's clearly Kreator's strongest album, and aside from being better produced than their previous efforts, it has very little in common with the bay area sound. Given your taste for more progressive thrash, your opinion on this is pretty bizarre.

@MrTagoMago Rust in Peace is also high quality throughout. Polaris is a stand out track for me.
