Controversial opinions on metal

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.

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
 
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.
