Controversial opinions on metal

[Baroque]

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?

Overall best album by Yngwie?

 

[CiG]

I think I have to be hard on myself and just go with my gut, rather than thinking about it too much, and say Trilogy is my favourite.

Magnum Opus comes quite close though.

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.

 

[CiG]

Everybody falls back on the fun thing. Fair enough, but it's pure garbage to my ears.

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.

 

[Vilden]

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.

 

[The Ozzman]

Everything is serious business

 

[CiG]

I'd rather Vilden die painfully of colon cancer than have comedy cinema not exist.

 

[Vilden]

Everything is serious business

Truer words have rarely been spoken (or written).

Controversial Opinion (maybe):

No good music will be made this year.

Because of mankind's extinction?

 

[Baroque]

Uncontroversial opinion (yes):

Good music has already been made this year.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

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.

Considering Beheaded's new album drops on Friday:

 

[Talos of Atmora]

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.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Crusade was a Metallica cover album basically. They totally departed from that sounds after that album.

 

[CiG]

Eh fine they ripped off Metallica + did that other shit I said.

I love this alternate artwork!

 

[The Batlord]

I like a lot of the alternative covers.

You know, I was done with this conversation, but Jesus Christ are those ugly. The first one is just boring. It's black. There's a border. And then some sword. Who cares.

The second one is way awful though. Apparently that album was released in 1997 so I'm going to assume that someone found a pic of that statue on the internet, thought "Well I need A picture for an album cover", and then called it a day. Combine that with some truly awful font and a pic of Yngwie awkwardly slapped onto the background and you have one of the most amateurish things I've ever seen.

And that third one... woof. I can't be sure but I think someone might have actually tried with that cover. Can't be sure though, cause that lame "vortex" effect is lazy as fuck looking, the whole pillar and demon mess that's going on looks more like the set to a Dio show than anything that should be on an album cover, again Yngwie is awkwardly *80s Photoshop equivalent*ed onto the rest of the clusterfuck with a godawful blue border, and the cherry on top is a sparkly lightning bolt of supreme, ultimate cheese.

WHO MADE THESE?!
