Controversial opinions on metal

[The Butt]

Oh no I was agreeing, just making a salty non sequitur on the side.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Can't get into that band at all.

 

[The Butt]

They can play, I'll give em that. That's all I'll give em, but I'll give em that.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... but will you give them your butt?

They're too feminine for Butt.

I only deal with 9s and 10s. Ain't gonna be no grenades tonight.

Controversial opinion: I think that Valen is one of Burzum's best albums. Probably his third best behind HLTO and Filosofem.

 

[CiG]

You rate Filosofem that highly? Damn.

 

[Phylactery]

You don't? Filosofem is generally regarded as Burzum's first or second best album.

I'd probably have it third these days behind Hvis and the debut.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

@The Butt What do you think of Belus ?

 

[CiG]

No I don't, I find it to be a little inconsistent in terms of quality.

I generally go:

1. Dauði Baldrs
2. Hvis lyset tar oss
3. Det som engang var

If we're talking strictly metal:

1. Hvis lyset tar oss
2. Det som engang var
3. Burzum

S/T > Filosofem > Det som engang var > Havis lyset tar oss

 

[The Butt]

CIG: Sure do. I adore it. Songwriting, production, all of it.

@The Butt What do you think of Belus ?

Its highs reach higher than Fallen (Glemselens Elv in particular) but it isn't as consistent. Still a great album (Burzum's worst is still better than most band's best imo) but not quite there.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Man, i haven't listened to Burzum in a good while. I think i'm gonna pull those two albums out.

 

[Phylactery]

Hvis lyset tar oss would have easily made my top 10 metal albums a few years ago, but I rarely listen to Burzum these days. That album in particular is just an exhausting and draining experience.

I'm much more likely to throw on the classics by Mayhem, Immortal or Darkthrone if I'm in the mood for some Norwegian black metal.

 

[CiG]

I hardly listen to Burzum's metal stuff anymore.

 

[EspaDa]

Guess I'm going to see them live at Brutal Assault! The only live show of them in 25 years! What an experience.

Good compatibility but that's not surprising as we're both here.
