Controversial opinions on metal

[Mort Divine]

Mirrorworlds is the better Eucharist album.

Not a chance.

LOG is about as exciting as counting down the seconds in a minute.

Coming from the guy with the Scorpions in his sig...

Do not insult the Scorps, dude. Not cool.

I hate all 80's hair shit... in fact, most all of the 80's music sucked ass.

Here, I'll do the next post so some idiot won't have to...

You're such a fag. None of the bands you like would exist if Priest, Maiden, and everyone else from the 80's weren't there. Now, I'm going to go spackle some mediocre bands with high pitched vocals and tight pants with my man gravy, since I'm so awesome and tr00. You fail at metal, Seed.

 

[SentinelSlain]

not going to say that.

I just paid attention to those type of bands (and still do) when I decided most 90s rock wasn't to my taste, too 'not trying too hard' if you know what I mean. Now I can appreciate it but I still like 'hair metal' and power metal etc.

 

[Einherjar86]

I can't stand 80s hair either.

 

[SentinelSlain]

seeing mullets on women makes me want to vomit.

 

[ossa]

if you like agalloch, metal is not for you

wtf? That doesn't even make sense. It's not as if liking Agalloch means you can't be a metalhead.

They're good up until Love At First Sting, but had a dropoff in quality from the 70s.

The 80's and early 90's were probably some of the most important years of metal. The only thing that could compare would be 1970 when Sabbath first released there s/t.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the '80s + early '90s was easily the best period in metal's history, not even disputable

 

[mutantllama]

Pretty much...

But 1970 could arguably be just as important.

 

[Einherjar86]

If you're talking underground metal, then sure, you could argue that.

EDIT: @ no country

 

[mutantllama]

Remember now that the 80s covered a huge section of metal. Both underground, and in the more mainstream view.

 

[Einherjar86]

^right, but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of 80s mainstream metal.

 

[mutantllama]

I'm not counting most glam.

 

[Einherjar86]

I still prefer the underground movements to America's death/thrash movement.

That's not to say that the mainstream movements weren't important.

 

[Zephyrus]

If you're talking underground metal, then sure, you could argue that.

In that case, no decade can claim superiority since there have always been great bands underground and shitty ones in the mainstream.

I enjoyed Moment of Glory because it added serious compositional depth to many of their mediocre hits. Not a huge fan otherwise.

Carcass' Swansong is pretty damned good. Not really death metal too much, but people give it too much crap.

Agree 100%
