Controversial opinions on metal

Jesus man, I think SoB is their best. The guitar playing is lightyears ahead of what they were doing before then. I don't even think the production is bad at all, especially when compared to a lot stuff guys here go apeshit over. I mean come the fuck on: early Darkthrone production Vs. "Souls of Black" production?? No comparrison. "Souls of Black" is Testament's "And Justice For All" & likewise they are my favorite albums from both bands.

Well there's a difference between good production and production that suits the music. Other than that, yeah I don't see much wrong with the sound on SoB, except that it's maybe a bit dated.
