Controversial opinions on metal

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah, it's not hip hop my dude.

I've never heard any mix other than the original.

Agreed. Emotionless and dry is how I usually describe it. The Thing That Should Not Be is a plodder though.

Harvester of Sorrow is the best.

Emotionless and dry is pretty much how I'd describe Harvester of Sorrow.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Pretending that the production on And Justice For All... is anything other than screwing Jason Newsted is apologistic nonsense.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I think it fits the album perfectly. Don't really care if it was unintentional or if the band didn't like it or whatever.

 

[CiG]

Drums sound like utter trash, can't hear the bass, rest sounds okay, songs rule.

I've never heard any mix other than the original.

I've also only heard one version, but I thought maybe there were other, better sounding versions. Googled it just now and it turns out I was probably just thinking of some interviews where Lars and James have suggested that it might need a remastering or whatever.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I've always enjoyed how mechanical it is. I might be biased though since it was my introduction to the band.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, 'soulless' is a compliment in this case, as it is with some death metal production jobs. dank, inhuman shit. it's not perfect and i sure as hell wouldn't want every metal album to sound like that, but it's totally unique and it fits.

 

[CiG]

It doesn't sound dank or inhuman, it sounds sterile and like a giant mistake.

The ridiculous overtone on the rhythm guitars is the worst part imo.

I don't know why they've never done a proper remix of it, fans would lap it up and they could right a wrong and Lars could buy some more expensive art.

He should buy an expensive wig, the dome-headed fuck.

That or just shave it and go full bald. Might look alright on him.

He should have put plugs in while he had the chance. Kirk did and it looks ok.

There's really no coming back from this

 

[CiG]

He should just go full-Kerry King and tribal that skull up, bruh.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

his skullet is almost in full effect though.

Like I said, he'd look just fine bald.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Still not as conspicuous as Pest from Gorgoroth.

 

[CiG]

He's probably too posh to rock a fully powered skullet. He should though, his drumming would immediately improve.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i just google searched skullet and his picture is the first one on the third row.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

nothing beats this classic ...

guns, guitars and thongs ftw!

Lmao! just noticed one of those is a video game guitar hhaha

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Like I said, Pest from Gorgoroth:



Legend-kin black metal vocalist, but if his skullet were any more conspicuous, Russian satellites would be using him as a Europe-based marking beacon to plan missile coordinates.
