Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

I wouldn't say "legitimately good" but they're fun for sure. I still throw em on.

I honestly haven't listened to the first 3 in ages. I got burned out on Bodom years ago but maybe I'll throw them on this afternoon.

 

[The Butt]

On rare occasions, for nostalgia, I even listen to Blooddrunk.

 

[CiG]

Can't stand that fucking shitty plastic band.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Give me the thrashiest, riffiest Children of Bodom album and I will listen to it once I'm done with the Hades album I'm currently playing.

 

[Phylactery]

Something Wild and Hatebreeder are legitimately good albums.

Ewww. You've gone down in my estimation. Horrible band.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You've gone down in my estimation.

How will he ever recover?

 

[Phylactery]

Haha.

As for what you should listen to. Probably Hatebreeder. A friend bought it me when I was 16 or so. Of course I sold that shit. It sucks.

Hatebreeder

I'm rather surprised by your reaction considering that I've voiced a positive opinion regarding Bodom's early work before. As for whether I've "gone down" in your estimation, eh.

You just lost a couple in-crowd tokens.

I had in-crowd tokens?

 

[EspaDa]

This is so shitt

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You have an in-crowd kind of aura about you, in a good way. Like, just looking at your username and avatar I might assume you had the taste stamp of approval without knowing anything else.

Anyways, Hatebreeder was decent. I think I might actually like the later songs, e.g. Blooddrunk period more, but it was still an alright about. Follow the Reaper seemed a little better from a hook-writing standpoint but probably had lower lows as well.

I don't know how my username and avatar relate to the in-crowd but then again, I don't know what an archetypal in-crowd member looks like to you.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You just have a good user aesthetic. You could be the dining room table and I'd set my complete collection of Tales of Medusa LPs along your spine, glowing as my neighbors compliment me over a bottle of scotch.

Aw, shucks.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I think you'd be more in-crowd if your username was Dagoth Ur and your location was Vvardenfell, because Morrowind is more in-crowd than Oblivion/Skyrim.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Didn't realize that's what it was in reference to. Elder Scrolls is the Avenged Sevenfold of Western RPGs tbh. People with good taste reference Lands of Lore in their profile.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Are you basing your judgment of the series on Oblivion/Skyrim? Because Morrowind is the Summoning of Western RPGs.

This comparison will not help your case where HamburgerBoy is concerned.

Anyway I really like Skyrim. The combat is definitely shitty (it's just very superficial and lacking in depth. The attacks from weapons don't feel very visceral or like they connect half the time), but everything else about it is pretty great.

I definitely need to spend more time with Morrowind, though.
