Controversial opinions on metal

[The Batlord]

I'm not saying it's all meh thrash, but there's still too much of it. The first three songs, "Cemetery Gates" and a few others are totally solid, and there's nothing truly bad on there, but there's still filler and it's usually the more thrashy material.

The album gets a little slow with Clash with Reality/Medicine Man/Message in Blood all in a row, but whatevs. Most bands would be happy to have fillers like those.

 

[The Batlord]

Like I said, it's not a bad album by any means, it's just inferior to their next three and too much of a transitional album.

Pantera suck ass. They might have had a chance at being good if they didn't have a retarded thug as their vocalist.

The following three wouldn't even have an album's worth of quality songs if you combined them all together.

Clash with Reality/Medicine Man/Message in Blood

The fuck? Medicine Man is fucking awesome. If there's any song that ruins the flow of that album it's The Sleep.

didn't have a retarded thug as their vocalist.

Better than having a fat retarded abo as their vocalist

[The Ozzman]

Cowboys from Hell is intermittently good, but too much second-rate thrash.

3rd rate would be more fitting. But a few generic as fuck thrash riffs does not make that album thrash imo. Its honestly pretty forgettable and almost unlistenable outside of a few tracks. Cemetery Gates is good ... Cowboys From Hell, The Sleep and Message in Blood are okay ... the rest of the album sucks hard.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Pantera suck ass.

Definitely posers(every member of that band). But hey some of their stuff is pretty good. I know they became the cool band to hate and all that shit while growing up ... but i couldn't give less of a fuck about all that shit. Poserdom ... that's my main gripe with them. Outside of that they're an okay band.

2 Minutes to Midnight is longer than two minutes therefore Adrian Smith is a terrible songwriter and Iron Maiden's a shit ba-oh, wait.

No way punk

Pantera's fans may be the worst of any metal band.

I can listen to Vulgar and Trendkill in low doses but they really arent for me.

 

[CiG]

I do like the track "Cemetery Gates" for some reason.

 

[Baroque]

Yeah cemetery gates is pretty much the only song I can still listen to by them.

I do recognize their importance to metal which is why I voted for them in the Hall of Fame. But I had forgotten about their racist bullshit, thanks for reminding me. fuck em.

Primal Concrete Sledge and the title track are all I care for on that album. Haven't listened to it in a long time though.

I don't remember Omni posting this back during the debate with HBB about Pagan Altar, this is pretty substantial proof that they were around at least in the earliest 1980s.
