Controversial opinions on metal

[divine_torture]

I think it sounds really forced. Also, the songs are too long and James' voice reminds me of a lion in heat. I don't have a problem with long songs but if they are going to be a certain length, at least make them interesting.

He's always had a habit of being a bit out of tune anyway, so I can typically get past his vocals.

I too think the songs are to forced but they have some good stuff. Unfortunatelt the retail version is unlistenable due to the digital distortion they decided to add to it (I mean what the fuck?). THey have some pretty bad songs on there but some good ones as well. I for one is really digging The Unforgiven 3. Good lyrics and beautiful melodies.

It's a step in the right direction but not quite there yet. And now I am going to stop talking about Metallica because I feel like a homo.

I still listen to Children of Bodom's first three albums from time to time.

 

[The Ozzman]

I still listen to Children of Bodom's first three albums from time to time.

That's because their first three are fucking great. I would rank them like this:

FTR
SW
HB

 

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

True dat.

Korn invented the 7 string guitar.

Yngwie invented the piano neck tie.

Metallica invented the suck knob, available on all mixing consoles. "You're welcome."

 

[The Butt]

That's because their first three are fucking great. I would rank them like this:

FTR
SW
HB

However controversial this may be, but I'd actually rank my top three Bodom albums like this:

FTR
HB
BD (Yes, Blooddrunk. Fuck off.)

Something Wild's a good album, but I actually can't find a single bad song on BD.

 

[Omni]

I actually can't find a single bad song on BD.

You haven't heard any of the songs on that album?

 

[The Ozzman]

However controversial this may be, but I'd actually rank my top three Bodom albums like this:

FTR
HB
BD (Yes, Blooddrunk. Fuck off.)

No.

You haven't heard any of the songs on that album?

Blooddrunk is definitely better than AYDY?, but it's nowhere near the caliber of something like Something Wild or Follow The (fucking) Reaper. I would say BD is tied with HCDR in terms of quality

 

[no country for old wainds]

unforgiven iii is song of the year from album of the year death magnetic

welcome back you cock

 

[Omni]

I would say BD is tied with HCDR in terms of quality

So I was right.

 

[The Butt]

You haven't heard any of the songs on that album?

I have. Shame the album actually, y'know, doesn't have any bad songs.

Blooddrunk is definitely better than AYDY?, but it's nowhere near the caliber of something like Something Wild or Follow The (fucking) Reaper. I would say BD is tied with HCDR in terms of quality

BD is the best work the band has done in years. It's infinitely better than both HCDR (which fucking sucked) and AYDY (which was just mediocre).

And while it's not "better" than Something Wild, I prefer it to SW.

 

[The Ozzman]

So I was right.

Will you fuck off?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Hatebreeder and Hate Crew Deathroll are CoB's best.

 

[no country for old wainds]

children of bodom? more like children of boredom! bodom-dom-tsh

fuck the world

 

[Manic Ferocity]

That's because their first three are fucking great. I would rank them like this:

FTR
SW
HB

I wouldn't call them "great" but they're a fun listen every so often.

This is how I'd rank them:

HB
SW
FTR

 

[mutantllama]

The discussion of ranking what CoB albums are the best is almost just as bad as the same thing with Opeth.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Hate Crew Deathroll is terrible.

Imo the only CoB worth listening to is Follow the Reaper and earlier.

 

[waif]

So I really really like Like An Ever Flowing Stream, crappy drumming be damned.

 

[AchrisK]

Exodus only has one album.
