Controversial opinions on metal

[VelociBrad]

Entombed defined the Swedish Death Metal sound.

Carnage's first demo was released before Entombed's. Just a fyi there. Also just because Entombed was "first" doesn't make them best, but it's already been covered that you hardly delve into metal beyond the very surface bands so yeah.

I actually just listen to what I think sounds best, I oculdn't give two shits about underground status.
And Entombed and Carnage both had their first demos out in 1989.

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

Entombed is fine for a song or two in a party atmosphere

Death metal is not a party.

 

[DrSkye]

Death metal is not a party.

Agreed, party atmosphere?

 

[General Zaroff]

My friend and I play Death Metal at our little get togethers. No one gives a shit so it's all good. I occasionally sneak in some Black Metal as well. Usually WITTR since it's a lot easier on the ears than other BM bands.

How about you quit your fucking whining?

Go back to passing off Anus-style reviews of albums as cutting edge humor and suck a dick while you're at it.

 

[Chanakya]

At this point it seems that Left Hand Path is so widely panned as overrated that it's now actually become underrated in certain circles.

 

[Cythraul]

[Pitiless Wanderer]

let me start controversy by saying the new Iron Maiden album is absolute shit.

 

[CF87]

Iron Maiden has not been good in a long time and same goes for Slayer and Metallica. I doubt thinking these bands newer cds suck is controversial.

 

[VelociBrad]

yeah i'd be more surprised if Iron Maiden's album was actually good.

 

[DrSkye]

Death Magnetic was certainly better than anything since Black album though, agreed? So I'd say newer Metallica > newer Maiden. And Endgame was a step up as well.

Death Magnetic sucks terrible ass, and shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as any Maiden.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Death Magnetic could have been good if it was more riff oriented and less wanky. And anything that Maiden has put out post BNW could definitely be put in the same shit heap with Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, Diabolos In Musica, God Hates Us All, and even Cryptic Writings and Risk.

 

[DrSkye]

Thats more of what I was thinking. The last half of the 90's wasn't kind to any of the big 4 or Maiden for that matter.

 

[King Richard]

Death Magnetic could have been good if it didn't suck.

 

[DrSkye]

That's fair. Lyrics were shit.

 

[unknown]

here's my controversial opinion

Primordial's The Gathering Wilderness, though it was the album that got me into Primordial, is one of their weaker albums

 

[Krow]

New Iron Maiden wasnt that bad. People just still expect powerslave from maiden, like they expect RtL from metallica.

 

[TheInsane]

Death metal is not a party.

Entombed is very much a partyband though. Simple, direct and catchy.

Its the same way I can enjoy Iron Maiden. Its ok during a party but I never listen to them by myself.
