Controversial opinions on metal

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

You don't even like bass guitar? C'mon, mang!

 

[DarkBliss]

Not when it's too intrusive. Sorry.

What, no Electric Wizard? No Budgie? What's wrong with you.

Budgie is a band I'm yet to check out. Electric Wizard- I heard some scattered tracks. I need to get a complete album to form an opinion.

@OI: This Hitler stuff is really funny for some reason even though I, of all people shouldn't laugh about that.
It's just his facial expression. I mean, look at him. What a baboon.

Looks like my ego has hijacked this thread. Oh, well, should've been expected.

didn't you say you have the captain beyond album? will you like, listen to it already i wanna know if you like

 

[Mort Divine]

Bass with a very forward presence in the mix is fuckin' great.

 

[DarkBliss]

Tom, it takes forever to arrive, mate. I'll have to contact the store again tomorrow. I could just download it, but that would spoil the surprise.

Naturlich! Das ist richtig!

I find the vocals on Like An Everflowing Stream to sound obnoxious and forced at times. The drum production is also way too low in the mix making the album fail to have the crunch that death metal should have. If it weren't for the superb riff-work and songwriting (which are obviously more important), I'd hate the album.

The drums are pretty monotonous iirc so no great loss, but a better performance higher in the mix might be cool.

I agree about the drum production, but I think the vocals are pretty decent.

Clean vocals in extreme metel is awsome.

 

[VelociBrad]

Nothing wrong with LAEFS.

And growl vocals in non-metal is also awesome.

Here's one.

Emperor suks and anything Ihsahn did suxs.

but seriously, I've been trying for about a month now (longer actually) to try and find something I like in that chaotic mess called symphonic black metal. This is probably because burzum is my favorite 2nd wave black metal band and emperor are at the other end of the black metal spectrum. Eh, at dusk has some moments and I could see why one would like it, but I am going to give that album a few more listens see if I find anything more in that chaos.
