Controversial opinions on metal

[EspaDa]

I had a Converge album Jane Doe but got rid of it it did nothing for me and I think at the time I was more into Doomsword, TLWSF and BM and stuff, just didn't get the hype. I love proper hardcore especially Negative Approach but not that whiny shit.

That was a mistake as Jane Doe is arguably their best album although I'd put it equal to You Fail Me.

I sampled Jane Doe and came to the same conclusion. Of course you don't get the whole picture with a sample but meh. I'll explore it again at some point.

Jane Doe is great. Also No Heroes is an excellent album.

 

[NinjaSweater]

Early Converge is good. So is that one album by The Number 12 Looks Like You.

Which one? They're all good.

Lamb of God considered Metalcore? I thought they flew the flag of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.

This is one of the very rare instances you will see me agreeing with Mort. The NWOAHM isn't a real thing.

Aside from the groove tinges and the vocals, they're about as core and breakdowny as one can get.

When Mort's drive-by remarks make my morning.

Fuck yeah man, I'm right there with you on these namedrops.

I find that many of Mort's opinions about metal music are good. I don't agree with all of his opinions on the subject, but he's far more reliable for that than a lot of other people on this site.

Not sure what this would indicate, but it appears to be a musical movement back when I was a young adult.

I can definitely agree with that.

It's just a sly way to get alternative Metal treated as a trve Metal thing.

Meh.

 

[DarkGuitarLord]

Maybe that title was changed to Metalcore as I see a bunch of bands that appear on list of featured NWOAHM to be considered Metalcore according to the posts here. Crap, I'm just getting old...

Meh.

I've never heard much Velvet Underground in Lamb of God or Chimaira tbh.

Oh God hahahahaha, fuck off with that debate you cunt! You complete bastard.
Whatever the fuck word works better than alternative, that's what I mean.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

How about just thrash/groove metal, with breakdowns?

 

[The Butt]

Using Wikipedia as a valid or reliable source is generally not a good idea.

 

[CiG]

How about I just add it to the vast, philosophical moniker "shit music" and just be done with it?

Lamb of God is better than most black metal though.

 

[The Butt]

No it's not. You're dumb.
