Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

I only listen to one of those but I'd assume they have more common characteristics than the ones I mentioned.

Listen to them and get back to me. But the point is, death metal is a much more refined genre and krautrock is much more loosely defined.
Take hip hop as an example, there are hip hop artists that sound worlds apart from something classic like N.W.A. and even the same thing could be said about progressive rock.

What Im saying it refers to a very loosely defined set of styles of artists from a specific country. If the Residents or Cromagnon were German they would be considered krautrock. Also with those bands you mentioned at least you can plainly see the simular ties and tell they are the same type of music. If you showed somebody who had a more casual knowlege of music Soap Shop rock by Amon Duul II , Kyrie by Popular Vuh, and Phaedra by Tangerine dream they would never guess those were all in the same category of music.

Death metal really isn't very well defined at all.

True but neither is prog or industrial.

I completely disagree with that, I don't think those bands would be called krautrock.

Why not?

Also a controversial opinion on metal. Coma of Souls is a better 1990 thrash album than Rust in piece.

 

[EspaDa]

Bullshit. CoS isnt even Kreator's best.

Coma of suls s more consistently enjoyable and has more memorable songs. Rust and Piece has a stronger start with its first two songs but the rest of the album while good isn't up to par.

Rubbish

 

[MrTagoMago]

Rubbish

What's rubbish?

 

[MrTagoMago]

Sometimes I imagine many of you look like this irl.

Coma of Souls is fucking horrible, a sad attempt at selling out towards a Bay Area sound, and I really don't understand how People of the Lie (a veritable 0/10 song) is one of their most popular. I'd take Endorama over it.

You've had worse opinions so it's cool.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Your opinion.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I mean there's still worse thrash from 1990 (e.g. The American Way) but I don't see why anyone would talk about that album when there was still so much great and creative stuff being done at the time.

I don't get why Rust in piece is so highly regarded when it starts getting dull after the first two tracks. Holy Wars and Hangar 18 are two of the best starters but after that the album starts losing my interest.

There are plenty of 80s thrash albums better than both though so I guess it doesn't really matter. Best metal album of 1990 is Painkiller though.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Your opinion.

At least I have one.

Every track on that album is extremely distinct, and aside from Dawn Patrol and the title track, they're all excellent. Five Magics, boring? Get past the intro and it's probably their single most complex song, riffs out the ass, but still really aggressive too.

I agree that Painkiller is excellent though. People that call it samey are full of shit.

I dunno. It just started to lose my interest after the first two songs and I got bored but hey at least I could actually finish it so that's something. I'll give it another go tommorow.
