Controversial opinions on metal

[Thoth-Amon]

A good chunk of 'To Mega Therion' sounds underdeveloped and boring.

TMT just plain out rocks... great shit. Took me a long time to finally get CF but one day it just clicked.

TMT is freakin awesome. But I gotta go with MT. Come on... "Procreation of the Wicked". That's all I need to say.

I HATE THIS THREAD

i think i possibly like rocka rolla more than sin after sin if that's controversial

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It shouldn't be. Rocka Rolla is a great album.

So on first listen I was a little disappointed by The Absence - Riders Of The Plague. Thought it was gonna be thrashier. Gonna give it another listen, though. Now that my expectations have changed to mirror reality more I think I'll like it more.
Also, Immolation - Close To A World Below is good but not great. Dunno if that's controversial.

I can see how Venom are influential just do not find anything slightly interesting or good about their music.

I felt that way at first, but then I realized that they aren't good - they suck. They have absolutely no skill or talent. And they use that to their advantage. It's awesome. They just bash their way through an endless series of simplistic 3 minute, 4 riff songs about hell and satan and it's fucking awesome.

The song Teacher's Pet annoys me, though, it's so out of place. Couldn't they just change it to Satan's Pet or something? Kinda ruins the hell'n'leather vibe for me. I'm not a big fan of the trying-too-hard satanism I see in a lot of black metal, like Dimmu Borgir's band photo on DCA, where at least one of them is wearing a massive inverted cross, but I love the old school sorta wild and chaotic vibe of Venom.

I think it's mostly very well-developed, but I also find it a bit same-y throughout sometimes. I think Morbid Tales is better

I find some of CF's stuff - the ambient stuff as well as some of the stuff where he sings clean on ITP really silly and dumb but somehow awesome. I don't really understand why I like a lot of their stuff, but I do. The rest of their stuff it's obvious why I like it - stuff like The Usurper and Dethroned Emperor is just awesome atmospheric thrashing whatever it is.

I remember you.
The last post I saw from you you just posted a massive list of bands and then said they all sucked.
I'm not falling for your devilish tricks this time.

You kidding? Teachers Pet is the best song they've ever written! I find it funny, actually.

 

[S<issors]

Agreed. I really like some of the riffs on TMT, but Morbid Tales is more well-written.

Yeah. That should not be controversial to anyone who's heard both albums.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

'Risk' is probably the best album out of any post-'Countdown to Extinction'.

 

[The Ozzman]

'Youthanasia' is probably the best album out of any post-'Countdown to Extinction'.

Fixed

Skyclad is a top 10 metal band

Hmm I saw them live recently. Their cover of Thin Lizzy's Emerald is nice but they don't add anything to it, just play an excellent song in a competent manor.

They are decent. I'm not too keen on their current singers voice live. It got irritating. I'm not sure what they were like with the Sabbat dude.

 

[Mort Divine]

listen to Prince of the Poverty Line then

their stuff with Kevin is kinda lame but everything with Martin was AAA+++

 

[Black Friday]

Fixed

Agreed, though Risk does share a close second. It's just too bad that there aren't any more songs like Ashes In Your Mouth.

The new Metallica sucks so therefore it's hilarious to me.

The new Metallica sucks so therefore it's hilarious to me.

Then you'll find this hilarious:

My Chemical Romance is the best punk band!

Nickelback is the most original and amazing band ever!

Hinder are the saviors of rock music!

Slipknot is the best metal band!

Britney Spears is the greatest singer in the world!
