Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

their last two album are both pretty good.

 

[EchoForever]

pierced and effigy are tied for me, although pierced has one of the best openers in a dm record

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Most of Ozzy's solo career sucked ass. Randy Rhoads was the only thing that saved that band from being a complete pile of shit.

 

[EchoForever]

i dont think thats controversial at all

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i dont think thats controversial at all

yeah same here. But the new wave of plebs might disagree.

I've said it before, Ozzy's voice changed for the worse in the mid-70's.

 

[CiG]

First solo album rules but I don't care all that much about the rest, honestly. Diary of a Madman is okay.

 

[CiG]

The Despise the Sun EP is the best Suffocation release

I don't agree it's their best but that EP is absolutely nasty.

 

[jimmy101]

I wouldn't say that it's particularly bad or anything. Funeral Inception is pretty cool.

 

[CiG]

Definitely not bad whatsoever. Top tier death metal.

 

[jimmy101]

Oh whoops, I misread your post & thought you meant nasty as in bad.

 

[CiG]

 

[jimmy101]

Haha

 

[The Ozzman]

I mean, if Despise the Sun had been a full length, I would think that as the best Suffocation full length. In terms of full lengths, I would probably go:

*Despise the Sun
Effigy
Breeding
Pierced
ST/Souls to Deny
*Human Waste
Pinnacle of Bedlam
...Of the Dark Light
Blood Oath

*if EPs included, this is how the list would fare

More people need to put Suffo in their list of bands to do for the next poll instead of all thrash

 

[CiG]

Mine would be something like:

Pierced From Within
Effigy of the Forgotten
Breeding the Spawn
Despise the Sun
Suffocation
Souls to Deny
Human Waste
...Of the Dark Light
Blood Oath
Pinnacle of Bedlam

 

[EternalMetal]

Not sure which one is my fav, possibly Effigy, but sometimes I prefer Pierced.

I uploaded a clip of them from their tour last year. Incredible live band, definitely a top 5 for DM. Sad to see that this was Frank's last show

 

[The Ozzman]

I remember when I saw them after Pinnacle of Bedlam came out I asked Terrance which riffs were his favorites and it blew my mind when he said "All my old riffs SUCK!"

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Pierced From Within = Breeding the Spawn > Effigy of the Forgotten > Pinnacle of Bedlam > Souls to Deny = ... Of the Dark Light > Suffocation > Blood Oath

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Prophecies of a Dying World > most better-known NYDM including all Suffocation

 

[CiG]

Considering you gave Prophecies of a Dying World a 3.5/5 that must mean you have a pretty low opinion of NYDM.
