Controversial opinions on metal

[waif]

I agree

 

[Life Sucks]

Every other Behemoth release is superior to The Apostasy.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

I still think that "Demigod" is an incredible album. Something about the chaotic and epic nature of it, and the fact that it comes together so perfectly. That and "Sventieth" (spelling?) are easily their two best.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I found Demigod horrifically overplayed. It totally lacked the perceived passion of ZKC (their best album overall) to me.

 

[Life Sucks]

Yes, Demigod is more stale and mechanical than Zos Kia Cultus, which IMO is their best album. But Demigod is still better than The Apostasy, which is hardly even death metal.

 

[Zephyrus]

I think Pandemonic Incantations tends to be overlooked. "Driven by the Five-Winged Star" is one of Behemoth's best songs.

 

[S<issors]

ZKC has more ferocity and emotion to it than Demigod, but I'd say those are their two best

'course I'm not big on black metal

try the Apostasy - more of the epic and chaotic shit.

Yeah, this album is good shit. "Satan's Sword I Have Become"! \m/

The intro to Thelema.6 is badass.

 

[rattlematt]

As for Led Zeppelin, I like "Houses of the Holy" best & I think that's the best starting point for Zeppelin. "IV" is great where it counts, but slap full of filler.

what tracks would you call filler on IV? every song holds it's own on that album, IMO.

I am a stunning example of having "all over the place" taste in metal tbqfh. People often drop by my last.fm page to say my taste is completely random (imo it's very focused though).

I could go from Black Metal to Power Metal to Pop PuNK TO cLASSIc rock to Hip hop in one hour.

I am this but to a lesser degree (since I dislike brutal death metal, a lot of melo-death, and a lot of the poppyer metalcore bands that you like). I still think I have somewhat of an "all over the place" taste in music, though.

Examples of (random) genres I like (other than the standard metal genres of course):

Metalcore
Rap (mostly from the early 90s)
Stoner Metal
Grunge
Indie Rock (but I'm pretty nitpicky with most of it)

I'd consider those pretty widely disliked by most people into metal.

 

[Woolie Wool]

I can't stand Manowar.

That is always respectable, but I only said I have weird/unfocused taste in regards to metal.

 

[Contra dk]

Power Metal is stupid

Power Metal is stupid

Hardly controversial.

Alot of people agree.

They're wrong, as are you, but they agree.

Unless you mean flowery awful stuff like Sonata Arctica. Then you're right.

That's exactly what I mean.

 

[False Joe]

Then I agree.
