Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

I actually went back and tried listening to Death magnetic but it was too shit.


What's the opinion here on Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What!

Death Magnetic: one of the most limp-wristed "return to form" albums I've ever heard.

I like most of Megadeth's discography up to Countdown for Extinction, really.

It's generally regarded as the weakest of the first 4 Megadeth albums but still good. I haven't listened to it years so I couldn't say if I agree with that or not.

What did you think of Hell Awaits after you finished listening to it yesterday?

Very solid album. Not one of my favorites but I can see why many would hold it in the highest regards. I might like it better than Show no mercy I'll actually have to go back and compare the two.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Nobody else can see you the same way as myself
Fly high and touch the sky, you're the angel I adore
If only you could feel for me that I feel for you
Why do you ignore me, angel, why can't I go with you

Peace Sells... is the best Megadeth album.

 

[EspaDa]

Together with RiP.

I said Peace Sells was better than Rust in peace and someone got pissed lol.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Mercyful fate or King Diamond solo?

 

[Phylactery]

Mercyful Fate easily. Melissa is one of the best metal albums ever.

 

[CiG]

Don't Break The Oath is one of my favourite albums ever, so yeah definitely going with Mercyful Fate.

 

[Internally Deformed]

King Diamond has more good albums, and Andy LaRocque is an incredible guitarist, but nothing beats the first two MF albums. Also the lyrics/atmosphere on King Diamond releases can be a little faggy sometimes. I don't want to listen to songs about tea, grandmothers, or little girls called Madeline, I just do because the music happens to be awesome.

 

[CiG]

Fatal Portrait though.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Some of the post-reunion Mercyful Fate albums are actually really good. I think that most people know about In the Shadows but they definitely have others that are plenty worth hearing.

Doesn't the grandma make the boy cut off his mother's hand and drink her blood?

 

[Internally Deformed]

When you read the lyrics closely they're not too bad, but if you've just got the music on in the background all you hear is this sort of thing:

"GRANDMAAA! TIME FOR TEEAAA!"

"MOTHER'S LOOKING PALE. OH NOOOO!"

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yeah, that's really faggy, which seems to be Internally Deformed's standard criteria for determining if music is good since he uses the term constantly.

The real question is whether or not fagginess factors into the objective quality of music.

 

[Phylactery]

I like Internally Deformed, but I do wish he'd stop describing music as "faggy".

 

[Internally Deformed]

King Diamond is objectively awesome, which is why KD/MF are by far my favourite heavy metal bands. I'd just prefer if the aesthetic was a little more dark horror than children's book horror.

I also dislike this kind of thing (I posted it before somewhere, but w/e):



Faggy really is the best word for that.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I like Internally Deformed, but I do wish he'd stop describing music as "faggy".

Would you prefer queer?
