Controversial opinions on metal

[Mort Divine]

KEA is the best Metallica by far.

 

[DarkBliss]

It's the one with the best pacing despite some filler.

As for MOP, it does tend to bore me sometimes especially if I don't intentionally blast the shit out of it.

 

[waif]

It's the same song

No shit. I hadn't noticed.

Both bands took the same riffs (and yeah, Mustaine wrote them, good for him) and arranged them and Metallica's arrangement was vastly fucking better (not to mention the section they added).

Anotherincompetent debate on who has right when its all really matter of individual opinion

Megadeth is better than Metallica! Why? Because I said so!


Going back on topic Im not sure this is controversial but even if I like the debut albums of the thrash bands of the 80's I think they are clearly worse than what was to come. This is the way with most of the original thrashers:

Megadeth: KIMBABIG < PSBWB/SFSGSW/RIP
Metallica: KEA < RTL/MOP/AJFA
Anthrax: FOM < STD/ATL
Testament: L < TNO/SOB

 

[Inso]

KEA is the best Metallica by far.

Agreed, the sheer energy on that album diminishes with each following record.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's funny because Mustaine wrote, like, two riffs and a chord progression on that album and otherwise tries too hard to make himself look like this godly all-important metal genius

Fixed.

Dawn Patrol and the title track sez no.

 

[The Ozzman]

They see me trollin'

HIT THE LIGHTS

 

[HamburgerBoy]

They see me trollin'

That's better than being an unrepentant Mustaine fellator.

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't know about that

 

[Dak]

That's better than being an unrepentant Mustaine fellator.

Ozzman has much shittier opinions than that, like being an unrepentant Obituary fellator.

 

[The Ozzman]

Ozzman has much shitter opinions than that, like being an unrepentant Obituary fellator.

Your face is a shitty opinion

 

[Badbird]

Ozzman has much shitter opinions than that, like being an unrepentant Obituary fellator.

I got one.

Obituary is boring.In before Ozman calls me a faggot.He is some weird guy which we all know now.

 

[VelociBrad]

Yea, I know difference of opinion and all, but you feel the same way about Dimmu Borgir as well.
I guess Metallica sold out with Master of Puppets.:zombie:
You know, due to big sales and the album's immense popularity.

Dimmu Borgir sucks. One of the worst non-metalcore bands out there. Using them as a comparison for anything doesn't do you any favors.

As far as Metallica, there are a few songs I like on each album up through Reload. I just don't enjoy anything after RtL as a whole, whereas with Megadeth I can enjoy most of their albums before Risk.

and for the record, I'd say AJFA is almost as bad as The Black Album.

 

[mutantllama]

Master of Puppets is better then anything Megadeth has done.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Master of Puppets is one great album out of a catalog of mediocrity (at best) and unlistenable drivel (at worst).
Here's how I rate Metallica's albums/EP's on a scale of 1 - 10:
KEA: 7
RTL: 4
MOP: 8
GDRR: 5
AJA: 6
S/T: 5
LSBP: 6
Load: 3
Reload: 2
GI: 3
St. A: 4
DM: 5

However, I'd give RIP and Peace Sells an 8 each, so that alone puts Megadeth on pace to destroy Metallica on the 1 - 10 scale.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

RTL: 4
St. A: 4

Fuck you.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

You'd really give St. Anger more than a 4? I was being generous, for fuck's sake.

 

[DarkBliss]

Ruthless relativism at its finest. Much like The Ozzman's way of rating-- respect! You disregard cult status and go straight to the "do I enjoy the music" factor. Good for you.

Well, at least you're honest. But I think you're not hearing the rich harmony on AJFA. It's nowhere as overwrought as the Black Album, imo. Whatever. We'll agree to disagree. Regardless, I enjoy their first five albums almost equally.
