Controversial opinions on metal

[Draehl]

Top 5 worst or best?

What can I say? I find the Gettysburg trilogy pretty damn epic and the rest of Iced Earth's stuff very meh. O well, that's my controversial opinion...

Even The Coming Curse? Their best track IMO

Brofist!

 

[Draehl]

Brofist!

What? Is that like one of those Broseph or Broheim things?

 

[The Butt]

Brofist = I agree with you.

Haha. The Coming Curse is also my favorite IE track.

 

[VelociBrad]

I Am The Black Wizards gets a 9/10 from me. Love that song. Great stuff. Why you dislike?

 

[The Butt]

The whole of ITNE is good. One of my favorite albums, in all honesty.

I'm sure I'd like it more if the guitars were actually audible. They have the drums turned up so loud you can barely hear the riffing. I've heard the song live and it's badass. It's just a matter of the mixing/production on the studio album.

 

[TheBahggs]

I hate metal.

 

[Alongside Death]

Vile sucks shit from a straw.

 

[Zephyrus]

"The Acclamation of Bonds" is the best song on Anthems. Probably because it's the closest to ITNE.

 

[King Dedede]

Edge of Sanity was never a very important band in the grand scheme of things. I don't even really understand why Dan Swano has so many diehard fanboys.

I agree. Also, I really don't get why Crimson is so popular. I thought that was one of the most boring and unoriginal death metal albums I've heard. I'm guessing its popular becuase of the Opeth connections.

 

[challenge_everything]

What? 'With Strength I Burn' is clearly the best.

[Zephyrus]

I've become disenchanted with Ihsahn's clean vocals.

I can't stand Emperor. They're okay at their best. Agalloch is more indie rock than metal and they trolled y'all into liking them. Modern BM has great ideas but is frequently bogged down by glitzy Backstreet Boys production and a refusal to challenge convention more fully.

 

[VelociBrad]

Agalloch is pretty boring. Also, this whole shoegaze/BM trend is boring too.

 

[Dak]

I have to agree in general.

 

[TheBahggs]

I don't think Agalloch has released any masterpieces, but they are doing something that very few American artists are, and I respect them for that. Also, metal or otherwise, they make some irrefutably beautiful music.

 

[Caecius]

Agalloch makes good background music.

 

[damnromulans]

I think most people who hate Agalloch/shoegaze BM are not listening to it for the right reasons and expect something with bombastic leads and excitement where none is intended

 

[Dak]

Agalloch isn't bad in the right time/mood. It's just that for me that mood/time almost never exists.
