Controversial opinions on metal

[ArneZ]

There's a difference between poser shit and amateurish songwriting.

Bands do get better as they mature, though. Case in point - Warbringer.

First album was meh, second is awesome.

Total agree.

How do the two even relate?

 

[SWE Metal]

Fail. Slayer sold out around Diabolus in Musica. They went with a trendier sound. Only recently have they even attempted going back to their old sound, but failing miserably. I guess Hell already froze over.

Slayer didn't sell out. They just got bad.

Slayer didn't sell out. They just got bad.

Basically, this. People need to learn that just because nu metal is shit doesn't mean that shit is nu metal. Aside from the rapping in Scrum (which other bands like Exodus have done anyways) it's still a thrash album.

wtf deleted posts wtf

Diabolus in Musica is one of the worst listening experiences of my life...Tried and tried to like it. Those were some creepy days ugh. I used to like Divine Intervention until I saw the light too...Everything after South of Heaven is boring.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Seasons In The Abyss has some pretty great moments on it.

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah when it ended.

 

[Satanstoenail]

O snap.

 

[Stratorock666]

St. Anger is a fantastic album.

Well, not really, but I actually like a few of the songs on it!

 

[Mulver]

Slayer isn't that good at all, really. They have a few good songs like Reign in Blood but overall their albums are quite boring...

 

[mutantllama]

Do we need a Slayer discussion every 4 pages?


Everything they released up to RiB is excellent thrash.

Hey guiz whats ur favorite opeth ablum mines blackwater park

 

[King Richard]

Yeah when it ended.

I disagree, but funny nonetheless.

OMG MORNINGRISE 4REAL!!!!1!

Seriously though, I do like that album the most.

 

[The Ozzman]

Paegan Terrorism Tactics is better than When The Kite String Pops

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Not a chance.

 

[The Ozzman]

Okay, let me just change my opinion really fast

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Everything they released up to RiB is excellent thrash.

Show No Mercy gets pretty goofy and amateur at points, and Reign in Blood is far too inconsistent to be called excellent. Slayer has no albums better than very good.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I'd highly recommend it.
