Controversial opinions on metal

black metal sucks (generally)

dreamtheatre need new vocalis

Yeah. Valley of the Damned was actually really good, interesting and sounded really quite different to other power metal.

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
 
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
