Controversial opinions on metal

The Prophecy is cool because it's like a rewrite of Quest for Fire with sexy folky harmonies all over the place.

Let's see...

As an intro dumb groove riff repeated a bunch of times with forced-dramatic/climactic drumming for a minute
Generic metalcore riffing ideas albeit with some cool wanky drums
Same idea with the chorus
Lame 80s metal harmony section to remind people that they were a metal band when they still thought that was cool
Slightly better thrash riff section which repeats itself too often until I realize it's basically just a backdrop to a drum solo
Intro as outro

2/10.

When those guys ended Lethargy they should have found jobs outside of music.

l don't really get the hate for Mastodon, i've never been a fan, don't own anything by them but, isn't this just a band progressing how the fuck they want to? the last tune posted was a catchy decent tune (l wouldn't buy it) but i'm guessing they have come from a more aggressive metal background? what's the deal?
