Controversial opinions on metal

[HamburgerBoy]

And Infinite Dreams. An underrated gem.

That's widely considered to be one of their best songs (and is a bit overrated even if still great, the power ballad section is pretty cheesy).

 

[The Ozzman]

The Clairvoyant master race

 

[HamburgerBoy]

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

Judas Priest aren't a metal band apparently, not even Painkiller.

"I never really liked heavy metal in the first place [..] I’ve been trying to get Mastodon to not be such a heavy metal band, because I fucking hate heavy metal, and I don’t want to be in a heavy metal band."

Brent...shut up.

Who the fuck cares about this Mastodon dumbass anyway. Mastodon and Trivium are both shit.

 

[EspaDa]

But comparing Mastodon to Trivium isn't the best idea.

 

[Vilden]

Qualitywise it is tho.

 

[EspaDa]

Mastodon, unlike Trivium, has some good and pretty enjoyable stuff.

 

[CiG]

Yes, Mastodon destroys Trivium utterly, which in itself says a lot.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You guys have it backwards. Trivium is nothing special, but Mastodon is basically irredeemable.

 

[EspaDa]

Don't you like this?

Wrong. Trivium are pure unadulterated shitdrizzle.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

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.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

You guys are essentially arguing degrees of diarrhea here, they're both irredeemable, trite wet farts staining what little of the genre's legacy they'd be noticed in.

 

[CiG]

Mothwind > Mastodon.

 

[EspaDa]

Linkin Park is better than all those bands

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Linkin Park is better than all those bands

Nah, clearly it's Slipknot.
