Controversial opinions on metal

[Jreg]

I've noticed a lot of people lately using the word "homogeneous" to describe music. I guess it works, I just find it odd, and rather amusing.

It's because we readily embrace anything and everything "homo."

Forest metal, genre tags just get more idiotic by the day .

 

[Mort Divine]

My friend refers to bands like Drudkh and Forest as foresty black metal, I guess his rationale is that they sound as if you were walking through a forest.

 

[divine_torture]

I refer to Drudkh as cool fucking black metal.

Putting a bunch of trees on your album covers doesn't make you "Forest Metal."

To some people it does. I've also heard that wearing corpse paint means that you play black metal by default.

It does! Kiss are my favourite Black Metal band...

 

[Black Friday]

Black Friday: If that doesn't sound aggressive to you you might want to forgo listening to music altogether and just tape bar fights.

I'm sorry that your boring repetitive music doesn't impress me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

we shouldn't expect any better from a guy with elements as his avatar

 

[Omni]

It's pretty obvious that he's either deaf or hates defining albums just to have differing opinions, though I'd wager it was the former judging by his signature.

 

[S<issors]

his sig makes me assume it's the latter actually

Beneath the Remains > Slayer's entire catalog

lolworthy.

Wonderful. Yet another genre tag. Gotta love it.

forest metal is xorv's thing. Kind of a running joke. People shouldn't get too worked up.

 

[The Ozzman]

lolworthy.

Not if you've actually heard the album

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I have and like the album. It still doesn't even come close to (at least) Slayer's first three albums.

 

[waif]

^that

80's Slayer is much better than 80's Sepultura. End

I find Meshuggah really overrated and majority of their music crappy, they use 7 now 8 string guitars and majority of their music you can play on 1 string with no more than one or a few notes(maybe 2 strings ). I do like simple and repetitive music, but just find them really grating an boring.

 

[waif]

I generally don't understand why you would want to create music that's unpleasant to listen to. It's just obnoxious.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Meshuggah is pure genius interspersed with boring chug-chug.

Shiad up, mofo. You don't understand a thing in good stuff.

"Obnoxiousness" can be utilized in music as an aesthetic in itself. Have you ever heard of atonality?
