Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

YEAH?! WELL YOU'RE A... A... A QUINTESSENCE! TAKE THAT!

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Cool. You hear about the first big musical loss of 2017? Geoff Nicholls. Freaking tragic.

Yep. Listened to Quartz's debut and Heaven and Hell that day to honor the man however I could.

I listened to all my Sabbath and Quartz albums with him on it, tried learning some of his parts on my keyboard, albeit not too successfully.

Controversial Opinion? Tool should absolutely be on the Metal Archives. How are they not? They clearly have metal songs.

Agreed. There's a number of bands or artists that aren't on there but should be. MA has always been an elitist cesspit, so it figures though.

 

[The Butt]

lol Tool. They probably should be on the Archives but they're still trash imo.

Hey, no one said you had to like 'em, just that they're snubbed by MA.

 

[The Butt]

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

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I'm, candidly, not exactly a fan myself, but I do admire and revere their musicianship.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Can't get into that band at all.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Me neither, but as a guitarist I can't help but admire the technical prowess of someone like Adam Jones, who once casually stated his favorite time signature to solo in was 15/8.

 

[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?

 

[CiG]

... but will you give them your butt?

They're too feminine for Butt.

 

[The 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
