Controversial opinions on metal

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Usually controversial for prog-ish people here, not at all controversial for most strictly extreme metal people here since they already hate everything remotely like this...


...I don't think Pathosray is very good at all. I've tried over and over again to get into them and I end up with nothing. Same situation with Communic. I know people will get on me about the Communic and say they are teh heavy and all that. Neither band is memorable to me at all though..


and as a bookend to the thought-tree, just in case I didn't mention it in here yet, Pain of Salvation drinks heavily from the well of suck. Easily one of the most terrible bands I've heard. Except for 'Undertow', I sort of like that song.

Yeah, because melodic death metal was flying off the shelves in 1993, right?

that's irrelevant.

 

[youdontknowme]

Agreed with both of these, the album is almost 16 years old and still remains as fresh as ever.

As far as saying Swansong is their sellout album is fucking ridiculous on every level. Its not their best effort but still has 5-6 solid tracks on it.

Swansong is crap, just admit it.

in before Mort

and yes Pain Of Salvation are a painful listen. Gildenblow irritates me to no end.

even before you got banned you've been shitting on that album every chance you get. It's getting old tbh.

I don't like very many "classic" albums and can often find contemporaries I prefer.

While this is an old post, I've never read it before, so I hope that you've decided to become less of a poser since posting it, though I'm somewhat skeptical that you have.

It's actually on the first page, which I clicked by accident and didn't even realize was old until I was replying to it.

More people should do this to avoid having the same arguments over and over.

TBH I think this thread is pretty exhaustive at this point.

Yeah, we are starting to run out of controversial opinions.

 

[The Ozzman]

Here's one:

Megadeth's material post-RIP is better than the material pre-RIP. Rust in Peace is still their best album IMO

 

[Zephyrus]

From the start this thread was really just "Ozzman's retarded opinions on metal."

 

[no country for old wainds]

peace sells is the best megadeth and fuck everyone who disagrees

 

[The Ozzman]

Except they aren't retarded. I'm always right.

 

[Vimana]

Slipknot are a great band.

 

[Belligerent]

Rust in Peace is still their best album IMO

Yep
