Controversial opinions on metal

... but please explain to me how they sound like Korn? Is it the left-field jazz/funk/groove? Is it the dissonant chords? Or the mind bending technicality? If that's the case, then i guess nu-metal began with Atheist's Elements and Pestilence's Spheres. :lol:

and HBB, if you're going to accuse them of sounding like korn, at least stick to your guns and use the same song that you used to always claim sounded nu-metal. Your retarded opinions are just all over the place.

Really? I'm pretty sure I always used the title track. Whoops, I take it back, it's Nostalgia.

La Vie Est Prélude... (La Mort Orgasme) - 4/5 (the most cohesive song with real riffs)
Nostalgia - 3.5/5 (the one with that memorable kinda Eastern-style melody, also some of the most groove/nu metal rhythms, especially at the start and 3 minutes in)
Clouded - 3.5/5
Earthly Love - 3.5/5 (a little more atmospheric, interesting bridge a little over 2 minutes in)
Illuminatus - 3.5/5
The Carnal State - 3/5
Faceless Ones - 3/5
Rapturous Grief - 2.5/5 (main rhythms heavier/chunkier here, with atmosphere just overlaid in the background, doomier as a result, wah guitar adds to the doom/sludge factor) (gets boring tho)
Sweet Silence - 2.5/5 (instrumental, kind of sums up the whole album)
Subtle Body - 2.5/5 (intro rehashes the Nostalgia melody, a little more lead-wanky in a more-deformed-Slayer way)
The Art of Sombre Ecstasy - 2.5/5 (also in the atmospheric/proto-Ulcerate vein)
Obscura - 2/5

It means so much to me that you remember things about me that I have to keep lists to remind myself of. <3
 
It's post-nu metal, new form of nu-metal.

Nu-neu!-nu-new-nu-metal.

Controversial opinion:

Everybody that calls people in-crowd on here does so without actually having any standards for who is or isn't, from what I can tell.

If I'm wrong, please explain the qualifiers to me or something. Am I in-crowd? If so, why?

I'd be curious too, seeing as my standards for my taste are if I like it, I like it, if I don't, I don't (obviously with an innumerable strata of various reasons why and why not, excepting whether some dickhead does or doesn't care for it), if you can't deal with it, bite me and get necked on barbed wire. Yet I do believe I've been accused of being "in-crowd".

You seem to like pretty much everything, so no, you're not in-crowd. HP Lovecraft, you're not in-crowd either and I'm fairly certain I've never accused you of that (except maybe when you first joined and I assumed you were someone's alt).

Being in-crowd means having taste (specifically metal taste on this forum) so suspiciously in alignment with consensus that it makes one look like their opinions on music were strongly molded by their surroundings. The extent to which one is in-crowd is relative to the community they inhabit, there is no universal standard for in-crowd-ness (though there are certain albums that have greater consensus power than others).
