Controversial opinions on metal

[Sirjack]

Sounds like loads of other DM bands at once. Awesome! Glad to be your 1000 like! ha

 

[EspaDa]

Haha, thank you! I find them alright, with their third album they got more into melodeath rather than traditional death metal. German death metal bands are good.

 

[AlienZombie]

I like Crypts of the Unrotten quite a bit, my favorite from them.

 

[Vilden]

Probably not controversial in general but I think it may be on this board:

Operation: Mindcrime > Queensryche s/t EP

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The S/T is the weakest of their first six albums, but it's still at least an 8/10.

Rage for Order = their true masterpiece and an album that cannot be compared to nearly any other metal album

 

[The Ozzman]

Man, the first 4 Queensryche releases are top tier metal

...For Victory is really growing on me. Might be the best BT.

 

[CiG]

Trying to decide which Bolt Thrower is best is like trying to decide which Italian dish is best. You think of a good one and then you remember 4 other good ones and then you just go "............" and shut down and explode.

For Victory is so fugging good though, but I always seem to get caught up in the Godliness of Realm Of Chaos and War Master. Then I remember that Mercenary has some of their finest riffs ever and it starts all over again!

For Victory has "When Glory Beckons" and "Graven Image" though, which are top 20 Bolt Thrower tunes for me.

 

[The Ozzman]

I would say ...For Victory is one of the most underrated BT records along with HVP.

 

[Dak]

RoC or TOL are the normal go-to for "Best", and for a while I concurred on TOL, but For Victory has got me rethinking. HVP and Merc are obviously good too, in fact HVP was my first favorite.

 

[The Ozzman]

War Master is better than RoC though. I think there's too much grindy stuff on RoC for my taste.

 

[The Ozzman]

Impact is Imminent is the second best Exodus album after Bonded by Blood

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Impact is Imminent is the second best Exodus album after Bonded by Blood

I liked Impact, but I much prefer Fabulous Disaster and Tempo of The Damned over it.

 

[CiG]

Honour - Valour - Pride's drum sound/production turns me off a little bit, but the guitar work is great as usual.

 

[Mort Divine]

In Battle There Is No Law really needs more love than it gets. Absolutely filthy album.

Yeah filthy because it's trash


Not really, but the worst BT album by far

 

[CiG]

You don't like grindcore, so of course you think that.

 

[EchoForever]

what about grindcore dont you like?

 

[The Ozzman]

No, I like a little grindcore. Maybe not 'pure' grindcore but if it's mixed with something then I usually dig it

 

[CiG]

Taking a guess here but music that is fundamentally raw isn't really his thing.

Edit: Oh well there you go.
