It might not have fillers in comparison to itself but Fistful of Fillers would be an apt title based on its overall quality.

Well I tried to relisten to some of those songs again, mostly chugfest with occasional tempo chages that seem incredibly forced and with really stupid/simple drumming and riffage. It's exactly as bad as I remember.
And I quite like Fistful of Metal for what it is - crazy, stupid and funny speed metal. Nothing really spectaculary creative, but when you're in mood for that type of music it's good.

@CASSETTEISGOD Exactly, Fistful of Metal cover is hilariously funny and it should never be altered.

Indeed I hate new covers on reissuses. Especially since they usually are lazy as fuck done with just the (often new) logo in the middle and some durdly stuff in the backround. Perfect example: Sentenced - Shadows of the Past. The original cover is awsome, wtf happened?
I've noticed this too. It almost never turns out better when a cover is 'updated'. The re-release of Panzer Division Marduk is a case in point as the original had the panzer barrel pointing straight at you whereas the new version had it somewhat to the side - weak.

This is a perfect example of how reissue covers suck:
I would never buy that reissue with a stupid ass cover.

If I were you, I wouldn't boast about that fact. I would still feel as if I missed out on something.
Well, it was a used vinyl in pristine condition so I don't really give a shit. When and if I buy it on CD, I'll try to get a copy with the original cover.

I usually try and grab and original of an album if I have a reissue and really like it. I'll then sell the reissue.

Well, given the original covers for some of the Scorpions' albums adjacent to Taken by Force, I'd say that some of the new covers weren't just an improvement, but damn necessary (lest one be in possession of pseudo child porn). However, points made have made me reconsider my statement, and I retract it. Keep the old covers.

Maybe or maybe not so controversial but I flat out hate everything about the singer of Lamb of God. His voice, his style, and his mug. I don't know why.
That shouldn't be controversial, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was on this site.
Also, on the subject of reissues with new album art, I agree that they are almost always bad. I also really hate when the old album art is used with a newer version of their logo that clashes with the album art style.

Holy fuck I hate that too. My brother's copy of Hail To England has this shitty looking 3D steel effect logo, such a pile of shit.

The black lotus versions of the first two Necromantia albums are awful. Wtf is up with this?
