Hello there
I don't understand this at all. Why does the ballad have to be the best song on the album to be good in your opinion? Why can't you just think it's a good song in and of itself?

Best song on that half-sellout/half-look-we're-liek-prog-or-something overrated mess of an album, at least.

It doesn't have to be the best song on the album, but it's also almost never in the top 50th percentile either.
I don't know, I just don't like rock/metal ballads pretty much ever. Just like I hate slow synthpop songs.

Alcest/Agalloch et al can do slow though, that's fine. One of my favorite songs period is "A Desolation Song."

I can't view Youtube at work but since I don't seek out metal ballads I'm sure there are plenty of good ones.
Finntroll sucks and so does Korpiklaani.

I know that I've posted my enjoyment of Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold in this thread before, but I've just discovered that I like some of Korn's stuff as well. Their first few albums are like the worst Green Jelly songs multiplied by a thousand degrees of rape, but listening to some of their early 200x stuff, it's not too bad. Jonathan Davis actually attempts to sing and the riffs, while simplistic and repetitive groove stuffs, at least sound like riffs and not faggy turntable-wannabe shit.
I'm starting to worry that one day I'll listen to Linkin Park and Evanescence and not immediately convulse.

I won't defriend you, that would reduce the value of my Facebook stock. My feelings were hurt that you don't like dorky polka-pop metal, that's all. And the pic was basically a live action version of this:

I like Korn too, some good songs here and there. My favorite in their catalogue is probably "Cameltosis" from "Follow the Leader," but I liked their Cameo cover of "Word Up" and that single "Thoughtless" too. Their most recent album(s?) is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. I won it at a radio festival and broke the CD and threw it away it was so shitty. Not ONE decent song on the entire album.
Sorry SN but I can't do polka folk pop metal. Rhapsody and Blind Guardian are as cheesy as I will go, and even then I turn the volume down so the neighbors don't hear.
