Controversial opinions on metal

[The Ozzman]

I don't remember specifics because it's been a little while, but I have tried to get into them twice over the last two years and both times was bored.

I think Roots and Beneath the Remains were highly recommended, thought they were meh.

Listen to anything up to and including Chaos A.D.

Except for a small handful of songs, Chaos A.D. isn't that good.

No

 

[whiskey funeral]

Yes. BIOTECH IS GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Chaos A.D. is so bad, it makes even Slaughter of the Soul seem a milestone in artistic creativity in comparison.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Agreed.

 

[youdontknowme]

Beneath The Remains and Arise are where it's at!

I don't really like Obit much, and I am clearly not a faggot. COUNTEREXAMPLE BITCH

 

[The Ozzman]

You clearly are if you don't like Obituary. You're just in the closet apparently.

 

[S<issors]

I don't hate Nile but the much-lauded first album has nothing memorable on it. Zero. It's crap. Neither does the most recent, also crap. The middle stuff has the most good songs.

preeeetty much

I better hear from you n00bs that pre-Arise Sepultura is as much better than Arise as Master of Puppets is better than the Black album or no deal.

They're not BAD, just worse than most of the other "classic" DM bands of the time. I mean, SWR came out in '89, right? So go listen to Altars of Madness, or Severed Survival, or Consuming Impulse, or Symphonies of Sickness, and then to Slowly and tell me it's not a little bit of a let-down.

EDIT: Deicide are the other big name I feel this way about. Far more so than Obituary tbh.

They are better.

You're dead to me

 

[youdontknowme]

Symphonies is a grind album. apples and oranges.

I agree with you on Deicide. extremely underwhelming.

 

[Belligerent]

What's so good about Mithras?

Listen to Behind The Shadows Lie Madness and you'll find out.
Obviously Morbid Angel have an influence on them but it's not overwhelming.

I'm way in there then.

Get Arise and you'll change your mind.

You know what Florida DM band is inadequately famous? Brutality. They didn't put out an LP til 92, but what an LP! We should work out a deal where they get all Deicide's press

 

[AchrisK]

All I have right now is Forever Advancing...Legions. So that's all the Mithras I have to appreciate. I listened through once and was not blown away, but neither was I bored. I will continue to listen.

 

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

I recommend you check out Worlds Beyond The Veil, that one blows me away every time. Awesome atmosphere.

Also, yeah Brutality is incredibly good.

But it's a totally different experience than those bands. It's more like old Brutality. It's in the heaviness and the tone of the guys fingers and the songwriting, not in the speed or complexity.

 

[no country for old wainds]

People who form opinions on bands without hearing their classic material are retards. It's akin to me saying Burzum sucks while having only heard Dauði Baldrs.

yeah seriously, this happens all the fucking time on this board and it's retarded. esp the people who are like JUDAS PRIEST SUCKS YES EVEN THEIR SUPPOSED MASTERPIECE BRITISH STEEL
