Controversial opinions on metal

[Belligerent]

Forgotten Tomb are one of the better depressive BM bands.

 

[sevag00]

I think depressive black metal for the most part isn't depressive at all. It's usually just really drawn-out, boring and lethargic.

Depressive BM is depressive, if you're really in a depressive mood. You're not going to listen to it when your extremely happy.

 

[The Ozzman]

Depressive BM is depressive

ORLY

 

[Zephyrus]

It's dry, because it's not wet.

 

[skeptik]

Depressive Black Metal is almost exclusively horrible.

 

[The Ozzman]

The only depressive black metal I own is Wedard

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Why listen to something that sounds depressive? To be brutal & suicidal at the same time? Lame.

 

[The Butt]

^ It's an emotion like any other... I see no reason why it shouldn't be explored.

Note that I actually haven't heard any depressive BM... I'm just playing devil's advocate here. :V

Cryptopsy's 'The Unspoken King' is good.
Iron Maiden are over rated.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

You're gonna get a lot of shit for these two... and probably deserve it too .

fail on all levels

 

[The Butt]

Cryptopsy's 'The Unspoken King' is good.
Iron Maiden are over rated.

The album is shit... but Matt is a competent vocalist IMO.

And I agree on Maiden being overrated. I don't care for them aside from a select few songs.

Iron Maiden are not overrated, Bruce Dickinson is not overrated, people gotta stop talking shit about him.

The album is shit... but Matt is a competent vocalist IMO.

And I agree on Maiden being overrated. I don't care for them aside from a select few songs.

Somewhere in time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and The Number of the Beast are not just few songs.

 

[Ender Rises]

Dude, Maiden are totally fucking overrated.

 

[The Butt]

Somewhere in time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and The Number of the Beast are not just few songs.

I can't bear to listen to a full Maiden album, actually. :V

Also, what Ender said.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the number of the beast is the only one that's massively overrated. s/t is possibly even underrated.

 

[cookiecutter]

Depressive Black Metal is almost exclusively horrible.

I disagree but I like all the bad types of extreme metal.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Dickinson is most definitely overrated.

 

[The Butt]

^ I don't like his vocals. Way too nasal.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Iron Maiden's guitar sound has always been the most dull sounding shit in the world, makes the music more boring than it is. And Dave Murray looks like my cat.
