Controversial opinions on metal

[CF87]

Which chunk of horseshit did you swallow?

He should have his own controversial music opinion TV show, and he can give out free donuts to the croud.

Time Is Up is one of the best workout albums around. Just jump on the elliptical, and match their speed until he yells "YOUR TIME IS UP!"

- Their Siren Charms album notwithstanding, I thoroughly enjoy all of the other In Flames albums, including Battles.

I don't know how you can dislike Siren Charms yet like Battles. They share so many of the same problems. Not to mention their other boring records like Soundtrack to Your Escape and A Sense of Purpose. They have an excruciatingly flawed discography.

- Outside of the Ironbound album, I don't care for Overkill's other albums. I will, however, give them props for longevity.

Really? Not even Years of Decay, Taking Over, Feel the Fire or Horrorscope? What don't you like about them?

Everything after Clayman is a flaw in their discography.

Reroute to Remain is awesome you dindu

 

[EspaDa]

It's bigger garbage than Come Clarity man. Open your eyes.

 

[Phylactery]

Pretty much all In Flames albums are garbage. Lunar Strain and The Jester Race are okay, everything else I've heard sucks. Especially Whoracle, which seems to be highly rated by their fans for reasons I don't understand.

Moonshield is a great song.

[Phylactery]

Moonshield is a great song.

I wouldn't say great, but definitely one of their better ones. Then again I've seen you rate songs you consider "great" as 7/7.5 in the mixtape game. And that seems an appropriate rating for Moonshield.

 

[EspaDa]

Moonshield is definitely in top 5 of their greatest tracks. Used to have it on my ringtone.

 

[Phylactery]

Anders Friden is also a horrible vocalist. Pathetic growls, crappy screams and embarrassingly bad clean vocals.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's basically every Swedish black metal vocalist ever.

 

[Phylactery]

Examples please.

Struggling to think of any as bad as him. And most of them certainly don't add whiny clean vocals to the mix.

 

[J.]

Subterranean is ace. Jester Race is pretty good, but yeah I agree Whoracle is Whorrible amirite.

only thing i dig on Clayman is Swim, referenced above. I think Colony is their most solidly consistent throughout, unless we count Subterranean

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah Subterranean isn't bad, and also features the far superior vocal talents of Dawn's vocalist.

 

[EspaDa]

Friden's prob the worst vocalist in all metal. Dont know how he has got away with his vocals for entire career. Dude's pure crappy noskill.

Right up there with Mark Shelton amirite?

 

[Baroque]

Songs on the new Obituary are fantastic but too short. In some ways it feels like a sampler/preview of itself. Still love the album.

Or the Doomsword guy.
