Controversial opinions on metal

[suckerleaf]

Yeah, Pitchfork really loves the new Deafheaven album? Wow, what a big surprise?!

I'm pretty sure it's a prerequisite before consideration of employment there.

I was overstating it and you kind of seem like a dick.

good, i was simply stating it was idiotic. I was overstating it!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I think it's the most well-known and iconic song and the most accessible, but not the best.

I would have guessed that would be Pad modly.

Vykoupení is the best ftr.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Zapálili Jsme Onen Svět and Útok are the best.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Third and fourth worst, respectively.

 

[Omni]

I find that opinion to be pretty acceptable in regards to the full careers of both bands.

 

[Omni]

The tone of that post makes me regret sort of agreeing with your previous one.

 

[Omni]

Any post about rustling jimmies is basically automatically questionable.

 

[The Ozzman]

Motörhead is a much better band than Iron Maiden.

No, but welcome to the boards

 

[CiG]

That's a no-brainer, Iron Maiden were godly but their shelf life was quite sad.

 

[CiG]

That's what I'm saying, yes.
Consistency out the fucking window.

 

[Krow]

I kinda like March or Die. Surely not the worst $5 album I've bought.

 

[Satanstoenail]

They're not really comparable tbh.

 

[Satanstoenail]

They're musically apples and oranges.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not really. They booth have strong roots in the NWOBHM, they both fuse a lot of punk elements into their sound, they're both top tier metal bands, etc.

Yes, but:



sounds nothing like



Motorhead is pretty damn samey throughout their entire catalog (not necessarily bad because I like other bands that are the same way). Iron Maiden switched up their sound and it is still samey for a period, but sounds nothing like Motorhead.

There may be a better argument for Iron Maiden's first few being like Motorhead's albums though.

Maiden's discography would be worthless without Piece of Mind and Powerslave.

 

[The Ozzman]

Maiden's discography would be worthless without Piece of Mind, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Somewhere in Time and Powerslave.

Fixed that for you.

 

[EspaDa]

SSotSS is also valuable. Fear of the Dark is one of their worst albums, this name shouldn't even be mentioned here. Mostly garbage album, there are too many fillers and an abomination.

 

[The Ozzman]

And here we go with another 'What is the best Iron Maiden album?' argument for the 20th time in the thread. I need to close this piece of shit and start a new one with some rules..

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The punk influence on early Iron Maiden is really overstated anyways. It has a street attitude and I think Paul Di'Anno was into some punk stuff himself, but Steve Harris himself detested it (he canceled gigs in the 70s upon discovering he's be playing with punk bands) and only a few songs on the first album even vaguely resemble punk (their eponymous, Sanctuary, and Running Free, and I'd say that last one is a massive stretch anyways). Although it is interesting that the first Iron Maiden song ever, Burning Ambition, sounds like a punk song.

But regardless, even the S/T sounds nothing like anything I've heard of Motorhead, let alone anything released after.
