Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Their first six records are incredibly consistent. Changes, Fluff, Supertzar, Am I Going Insane and maybe Megalomania are their only weak tracks from those albums.

 

[mutantllama]

Megalomania is one of their best songs.

 

[Krow]

After Forever is horrendous

After forever only gets shit on because the lyrics. Musically its awesome

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... yup.

 

[RedStorm]

scar sighted is a complete shit album, its funky and weird as fuck. i tried to will myself to like it because of that badass album art but no...

You people say you are true metal. Yet say songs like Supertzar, Megalomania, After Forever are "weak" or "horrendous".

I am ashamed.

Said the twelve year old pot to the kettle.

When the lyrics are up front and annoying, of course it's going to draw flies. I can honestly think of one other song as cringeworthy and that's Samarithan by Candlemass. Any day Trouble and Place of Skulls outdo them in every way with Christian doom lyrics.

But then again, you guys think shit like Johnny Blade and Never Say Die are apparently good. NSD and TE were the dying gasps of a band that needed desperately to rid themselves of a cancer. Dio brought the band back from the brink of destruction and revitalized Iommi. Without him, Sabbath would have just said die.

i never said the lyrics were well written its just that cheesy ass symphonic metal tends to grab at me, thats why i still enjoy listening to within temptation and epica. its catchy as fuck

I wouldn't go that far, but it's weak. And the lyrics are so bad you can't possibly ignore them.

I hate to break it to you, but nobody gives a fuck what you think about them.

I didn't imply that they did? Don't be dumb.

Bad opinion tbh. :/

It's kinda too upbeat and obnoxious even musically. I don't care about the lyrics. Not a *bad* song, but decent at best.

Also, I know I've said it before, but Hole in the Sky is one of Sabbath's very worst songs of the 70s and is pretty much responsible for every derivative stoner/"desert" rock shitfest of the 90s.

HB Facepalm Count: 6.

I kinda agree with HamburgerBoy on Black Sabbath and the filler department. Most of their albums are just boring as fuck, sorry.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Yeah honestly most of Black Sabbath is boring. They obviously have some amazing songs though. My favorite is still Heaven and Hell (which I'm sure is controversial)

 

[no country for old wainds]

^go away thx
