Controversial opinions on metal

[MrTagoMago]

Controversial opinion. This would make an awesome cover for a metal album.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Some kind of grind album, definitely

they're ok, more interesting than wolves in the throne room and about as interesting as krallice, but i have an innate bias against these pretentious modern BM bands who mischaracterise old-school BM as one-dimensional misanthropy and then subvert that mischaracterisation with the exact same philosophies many old-school bands had in the first place. they're annoying fuckers and a lot of their fans are annoying fuckers and a lot of the hipster publications who shower praise on them were formed by annoying fuckers for annoying fuckers.

you confuse controversial opinion with regular fucking opinion a lot

I'm assuming that you're talking to @MrTagoMago and not @no country for old wainds and if so, I agree with you.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Omen's Warning of Danger is garbage. Discuss.

Controversial opinion. I concur.

[Elric of Melniboné]

Okay. Now that's how you do a controversial opinion.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

They don't even sound like the same band. The production went from raw and manly to slick and synthesized, the themes went from battle and glory to fucking robots, the riffs went from galloping and boisterous to near-hair metal melodic shite, just a total sell out. It's kind of like the move from The Dungeons Are Calling to Power of the Night, the difference is that Jon and Criss could pull off pop metal with no problem. iirc there are maybe two good songs that sound like Battle Cry leftovers, that's about it.

 

[Krow]

Probably controversial

The worst Scorpions album from In Trance to Love at First Sting is actually Taken By Force.

It starts out with the abysmal Steamrock Fever and pretty much never recovers from the weinerish 70s rock vibe the entire album gushes. And I'm fully aware it's 70s rock/metal but the rest of their albums from the timeframe have a much heavier/badass vibe to the music.

I'm a big fan of Scorpions, but I don't get the love for that album at all.

 

[MrTagoMago]

Controversial opinion. Theres nothing wrong with the cover for Virgin Killer.

 

[CiG]

Okay. Now that's how you do a controversial opinion.

Not really.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I disagree with his opinion but it's definitely not a commonly accepted opinion among people who know Omen at all.

 

[CiG]

Oh wait, brainfart, he said Warning Of Danger, not The Curse. Yeah that's certainly a controversial opinion, but I guess not really since HBB consistently says silly crap.

Warning Of Danger rules.

 

[MrTagoMago]

I cigured i had pretty controversial opinions considering how everyone chewed my ass out for my opinions related to Slayer.

 

[EchoForever]

how bad was the ass chewing

 

[MrTagoMago]

how bad was the ass chewing

I got several scars on each cheek.

 

[Vilden]

Warning of Danger is indeed awsome. It is abit more inconsistant though.
@HamburgerBoy do you really not enjoy songs like Warning of Danger and Hell's Gate?

 

[CiG]

"March On" is legitimately a metal anthem, the title track rules, "Ruby Eyes" is epic and glorious, "Don't Fear The Night" is savage, "Premonition" may have futuristic lyrics but the song still rules, "Hell's Gate" is filled with awesome emotional power and "Make Me Your King" is one of my favourite Omen songs ever.

If you think Warning Of Danger is garbage, even compared to Battle Cry, you have broken fucking ears.
