Controversial opinions on metal

Neat. So, what albums of his have you given a shot? Just so I can tell you which ones to attempt and avoid, cause his stuff certainly becomes patchier the farther you go, with the occasional flaming hot caveat and exception like Perpetual Flame.

I've checked out Rising Force through Magnum Opus, and then some of Concerto Suite, Alchemy, and now Perpetual Flame.
 
Concerto Suite, Alchemy, and Perpetual Flame are definitely worth it all the way through for me. War To End All Wars, despite the meh production is good, Relentless is like a slightly lesser Perpetual Flame, Spellbound is legitimately atrocious, World on Fire is good if you can get past the fact that it's Yngwie singing and he's just not that great, Attack!! and Unleash The Fury are meh, Angels of Love isn't the most offensive thing. That's just me, though.

I'll check out some of those, then. Is Inspiration or Facing the Animal worth a listen also?
 
I'm beginning to enjoy this thing on UM wherein a new user comes along and totally embarrasses themselves.

Trivium just rip off Iron Maiden and then add parts that appeal to douchebag metalbros and cutting myself plastic-goth chicks.
That is exactly what they do. I don't have much respect for Trivium, but they have some fun songs and I don't really care about how credible they are. I'd call them a guilty pleasure if I believed in the concept.

Exaggeraters gon' exaggerate. If you had said 'rip off Metallica', I would agree with you.

Please show me a song where they rip off Iron Maiden blatantly.
 
Music should not be "fun".

"No mosh no core no scene no fun".

Infact, movies shoulden't either, nor games, or shirt prints or w/e. Fun sux.
 
I'm sold. 3 songs and I'm buying this album. Epic.

They were:

Be Careful What You Wish For
Live to Fight
Priest of the Unholy
Death Dealer has to be one of the best opening tracks in his entire discography. I heard that one and immediately bought the album. It was too awesome to pass up.

Yeah, except for Trilogy and Eclipse, and perhaps a couple others, they tend to be eye-rapey. Perpetual Flame is one of the biggest offenders there.
I like a lot of the alternative covers.

I missed this; retarded opinion. If Trivium rips off anybody it's probably Metallica or Testament, and even that is a big exaggeration. They sound nothing like Iron Maiden, unless you think literally every post-Maiden band with melodic guitars is a Maiden ripoff.
