Controversial opinions on metal

[crimsonfloyd]

Speaking of Graveland, were any of you queers aware of this?

Worth one listen. Not much more. I really don't get much from most of these rerecordings. The only one I really enjoyed was Impaler's Wolves.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I agree. Impaler's Wolves is excellent.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Mare Cognitum released a new album



Some good stuff, astral odyssey, darchon, dahakara, and heathen are all similar to this if you like it.

Yes they did and a lot of websites/individuals have it on their year end lists, top 10 or top 20. I have it but haven't istened to it yet.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Demonaz solo album is better than the solo stuff Abbath released thus far.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I don't know how controversial this is, but with the exception of compliations of EPs and demos, artists and lebels shouldn't add "bonus tracks" to reissuss. It only waters down the album and ruins the album's flow and arc. I'm struggling to think of a single exception.

 

[Phylactery]

It annoys me as well in most cases. I usually turn it off after the main material. At the end of the day, it's extra stuff for free so can't really complain too much. I do prefer it when they put the bonus stuff on a separate disc, though.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I don't mind if the bonus material is actually good and otherwise only available on a 7" or something. Bad quality demo tracks and live tracks are the worst.

A couple of good examples are the reissues of Aeternus - Dark Sorcery and Eucharist - A Velvet Creation.

 

[Vilden]

Was just going to mention A Velvet Creation, Wounded and Alone is their best song.

Still, I mostly hate bonus tracks.

 

[Krow]

The Demonaz solo album is better than the solo stuff Abbath released thus far.

That's not saying much. They just need to start being faggots together again.

Edit: also regarding bonus tracks, The Crypt usually does a superb job with his added material but even at that I tend to skip back to the beginning of the album or not even rip the bonus tracks from the CDs for listening on my MP3 player.

 

[CiG]

The few times the bonus tracks on the CD were placed before the album material made for a much better experience, regarding the album flow etc.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

All the Lemmy tributes popping up on metal sites are starting to get annoying.

 

[CiG]

Good, be annoyed. Fuck you.

 

[Krow]

Motörhead clearly isnt as good as the techdeath album he just fast forwarded through.

 

[EspaDa]

The only thing that gets me slightly irritated is that lots of those people who are not even interested in Motorhead share an Ace of Spades video and say RIP. I don't like the fact that Lemmy is often remembered for writing one song..

 

[no country for old wainds]

pretty great song to be remembered by though.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Motörhead clearly isnt as good as the techdeath album he just fast forwarded through.

ha you mean that one I've already heard 100 times? yea, definitely not as good.

 

[Sophii]

Post-Metal/Atmospheric Met is the most boring genre ever.

I like Neurosis, but damn. Shit becomes a snoozer after a while.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Neurosis' best album was The Word As Law.

 

[CiG]

I prefer their previous album and EP.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Those are decent too. Anything is better than atmoshit.
