Controversial opinions on metal

[Blind Guardian]

A year ago seeing the video for "Not Unlike The Waves" tricked me into buying Ashes Against The Grain,huge mistake,the rest of the album wasn´t nearly as good.

 

[Uthark]

Ashes Against the Grain is awesome.

 

[S<issors]

No, The Mantle is awesome. Ashes is okay.

Oh, so controversy. We've probably been here before, but Clandestine is significantly better than Left Hand Path.

 

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

And Nihilist was better than both...OK maybe not, but srsly, Nihilist did rule. I like LHP more than Clandestine but both are classick.

Transilvanian Hunger clicked with me almost immediately. However, I came to appreciate their other albums (speaking of the first five) a lot more over time.

95% of Agalloch's songwriting is boring as fuck. The only song of theirs I can think of off the top of my head that isn't predominantly background music is "In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion".

 

[Blind Guardian]

Oh, so controversy. We've probably been here before, but Clandestine is significantly better than Left Hand Path.

Got that fucking right. It´s more dynamic,songs like Crawl,Evilyn and Sinners Bleed are very exciting since you really cant figure out what´s to come next. And all the songs that sound more like Left Hand Path like Living Dead,Chaos Breed and Severe Burns are more brutal than those on Left Hand Path. If i got the question "what is death metal?" i´d put on Crawl.

Soulside I liked right off the bat, and I came to appreciate A Blaze very quickly. These days ABITNS is the only one I have on my iPod, but I spin Soulside and TH on occasion.

 

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

I spun my Soulside pic disc today. Counting the amazing riffs made my head hurt, mainly because I never learned to count that high.

I think there are many other wonderful and much heavier bands out there than Agalloch, but I definitely think that John Haughm has the best growls ever. I can't get enough of his voice.

Srsly? Those are some of the weakest growls put to tape. I like the singing and all of Agalloch's albums, but he completely fails to do a full, powerful death growl.

 

[Mort Divine]

No, The Mantle is awesome. Ashes is okay.

All three of their albums are fantastic.

 

[General Zaroff]

I need some Agalloch. I liked what I heard from them.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

i've never liked agalloch

 

[Belligerent]

i've never liked agalloch

you are missing out on a great band then.

 

[CF87]

Agalloch are an incredible band and i've not listened to them in awile. Not Unlike The Waves is their best song IMO.

 

[Belligerent]

Agalloch is actually better when you haven't listened to them in awhile. One of those bands that you appreciate that much more.
Plus if I listened to them on a daily basis i'd probably become depressed.

 

[mutantllama]

I've never listened to them before. Maybe I'll download some stuff tomorrow.

[seedofvengeance]

Doom es mucho bueno, Genesis, though, is only about a 5.

I think they ruined themselves when they named themselves.
