I'm glad to hear it. It's better if we all stick to what we're capable of grasping and if throwing out middle school insults helps you stay in your place, cheers!

My controversial opinion: The entire genre of sludge metal means nothing to me. I'd rather go to Best Buy and mic up a few dozen dishwashers and burn that to a CD and listen to it. Neurosis is a terrible band for bland people.
P.S., Beherit is almost just as boring.

I usually avoid the "if you dont get, youre not worthy" arguments, as they solve nothing.
But calling Neurosis "boring" is simply incorrect. Boring is shit like 12th wave black metal that everyone circle jerks to.

One I've always had about Hail to England: Each Dawn I Die would have made for a better introductory track than Blood of My Enemies.

I just think that menacing riff in Each Dawn I Die makes it a better opener. Blood of My Enemies would probably still be the second track or something because it still kicks ass.
+ fucking 1. Sludge metal is honestly awful, and "boring" is the correct adjective to describe it. I listen to metal because it gives me fucking energy....I'm not looking to be put to sleep.

When yall say "sludge", what bands are we talking about here?
If its crap like crowbar, down, eyehategod
...then i agree. That stuff is just, well, crap.
If we are talking the Neurosis/Isis school of bands, I somewhat agree. Other than Neurosis' stellar discography, 2 albums from Isis and Jesu's early material, I have no interest in it.

Lol how can you say that something as subjective as finding a band to be boring is fact? I find their music dull and coma-inducing, the same with every other band mentioned on this page. The only fact in this equation is the fact that I react to their music that way, while you react another.

Dismissing sludge metal on the back of a dislike for bands like Neurosis is retarded as they don't even really represent the sound of sludge metal. Closest they come to is what HBB just said, atmosludge.
To me, sludge metal is stuff like Grief, Noosebomb, Iron Monkey, Leechmilk, Molehill, Hawg Jaw, Seven Foot Spleen, 3D House of Beef, Cavity, 16, etc.
I've noticed a lot in here that people think damn near everything is sludge metal except the stuff that is actually sludge.

To be fair I've never heard a single song from any of those bands, but there's nothing about the description of sludge that intrigues me. Plus all the bands on the last page that people called sludge, that's what I'm at least PASSINGLY familiar with, maybe heard a song or two each. That's where my judgment of the genre comes from.

Sludge is to me Eyehategod, Grief, Buzzov•en, Crowbar, Indian. (And Acid Bath even though they're atypical)
You know, the drugged out southern flared hardcore doom abominations. I've always liked it but can't listen to it for long periods of time.
That post sludge nonsense is artsy pretentious shit.

the only 'sludge' i really care about (that i've found, anyway) is harvey milk, not sure they have that much to do with proper sludge. their last album is one of my top 10 ever:

love how it lays bare all this grief, regret and dissolution without ever compromising the resigned, dignified austerity. there's this incredibly tender grace to it even as it feels broken and ugly and utterly final. it's like a raymond carver suicide note written in blood across tarmac.
