Controversial opinions on metal

duurh

black metal sucks (generally)

If you were to look at the ratio of good to bad music, you could say that all music sucks, generally.

dreamtheatre need new vocalis

It's Dream Theater, and no, they don't. LaBrie is a great vocalist. His voice takes some getting used to but there's nothing wrong with it once you do and it fits Dream Theater's music perfectly.

dragonforce rules

You have been disqualified.

dragonforce rules

These aren't controversial, just wrong. You lose.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dragonforce's first album rules. The others don't.

 

[Belligerent]

Folk influences work well with other genres besides black (Turisas, Moonsorrow, Empyrium, Amorphis, et al...)

.

I like some Deftones...Mudvayne is good too.

Adrenaline, Around The Fur and White Pony are good, and Mudvayne's first two are pretty good. Both these bands i rarely listen to tbh

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Dragonforce are not all bad, but to say they rule is simply wrong.

 

[Belligerent]

Dragonforce: have always sucked/will always suck.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

The drone trend is pretty irritating.

 

[Savern]

Dragonforce's first album rules. The others don't.

Yeah. Valley of the Damned was actually really good, interesting and sounded really quite different to other power metal. They then made the same album 4 times and failed.

 

[The Ozzman]

Agreed. VOTD actually sounded varied throughout. It was shorter than the other albums though in terms of number of songs, so maybe that had something to do with it

[Orion Crystal Ice]

I had thought VOTD just came off like a serious album rather than a parody.

 

[The Ozzman]

Candlemass is better than Nightfall and Tales of Creation

 

[Mort Divine]

Okay, that is wrong on SO many levels.

 

[The Ozzman]

I like it more than those two. Epicus is still their best though

 

[Einherjar86]

Okay, well that final comment pulled you through... somewhat.

Epicus is their best, but Tales and Nightfall are fucking sick.

 

[The Ozzman]

Meh, I can't get into either for whatever reason. I like certain songs, but as a whole I find them boring

EDIT: in before someone says the 'reason' is because I'm a faggot with shit taste

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I have an issue with the vocals on Epicus.

 

[The Butt]

I have an issue with the vocals on Epicus.

I really like the vocals on Epicus. I guess it helps that I love baritones though.

 

[S<issors]

Nightfall is their best.

Also, something is wrong with me- I found that Greatest Hits thing made me want to go listen to Dragonforce.

For the record, I think they're a funny band, and see nothing wrong with someone owning one song or album by them. More than that seems sort of unnecessary, but whatever, they're hardly the only group to release the same album over and over.
