Controversial opinions on metal

[Omni]

Everyone already knows I'm gay. Why do I keep telling you guys?

I have no idea.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm looking for sympathy

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I thought this was a metal forum?! WTF is with people not liking Maiden? "Oh their singer is too high-pitched.... blah blah blah..."

And the Deicide hate? Also lame. If you can't dig the first few Deicide albums then let's face it you don't understand death metal. "Oh but I like teh br00tal's tech gore... blah blah blah". FAGGOTRY!

Like I said I'm not passing judgment on Deicide because I only heard TSOR.

As for Maiden, it's quality stuff, but Judas Priest satisfies me much more.

That's fine. Priest is great though I like Maiden more. TSOR is really good IMO but not nearly as good as the first three which are just fucking bonecrushing, bang your head and kill your neighbor fucking awesome.

Bruce>Blaze

Also, Deicide jams.

Why is Sculptured so bad. I mean, I love Agalloch and all but Sculptured is one bad side project. They are too "all over the place" and the songs go no where.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, Sculptured is pretty crap.

 

[Belligerent]

I can't really point out specifically what is wrong with them but for lack of better word...they suck.

 

[Mort Divine]

Their debut is amazing, Apollo Ends is good, their most recent is great but I don't like it.

 

[no country for old wainds]

their most recent is great but I don't like it.

i so want to start a debate about this sentence, i think that would annoy everyone

 

[The Ozzman]

How can something be great if you don't like it?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Bruce>Blaze

Only the opposite would be controversial, and I'm the only one who thinks that anyway.

Nope me to. Bruce annoyes me in the long run and Blaze doesnt. Simple as that.

 

[Mort Divine]

Okay, lets use a more popular album.

Gorgut's Obscura.

If anyone denies the musical greatness of that album, they're an idiot. You might not like it, but you can still recognize it as a fantastic work.

That is how I am with Embodiment.

 

[The Ozzman]

I've never heard any Gorguts, so it still doesn't make any sense.

I would assume by 'greatness', you're talking about the musical talent and songwriting talent as being of a superlative nature?

 

[no country for old wainds]

the only way of distinguishing 'greatness' from preference is by grounding it in something objective, say *lasting popularity* or whatever. i don't have much use for that myself

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't care if the technicality of the music is great, really. If I don't like it, it isn't great to me. It's not going to change.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Have you heard any of Blaze's solo stuff? I have all four studio albums, but I haven't really gotten into The Man Who Would Not Die. To be honest I'm rather unimpressed with it at the moment, though that may change.
