Controversial opinions on metal

I mean, I really like the Zetro stuff but the Dukes stuff has more aggression imo and he only got better with each successive album.

I can't fucking stand that guy.

 

[Sirjack]

yeah l'm kinda wishey-washy on him. l enjoyed the Shovel head dvd tho

 

[The Butt]

Shovel Headed Kill Machine is better than any album with Zetro

fixed

And this is coming from someone who last enjoyed Shovel Headed Kill Machine when I was in high school. Zetrodus is awful.

 

[EspaDa]

this is just beyond awesome, and it was even more brilliant live. what a great fucking song.

That song absolutely slays

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Exodukes is pretty weak, and it's not even Dukes' fault. For every Deathamphetamine there are three songs that are totally forgettable.

Opinion: This is the best In Flames album post Whoracle. It's the only album I listen to with any consistency anymore from that band:

We need to get the next set of band polls going. I would like to revisit some bands like this one.

Sounds of a Playground Fading is also passable. The rest is the utter garbage, with Battles being its peak.

Potentially controversial opinion:

90's Fates Warning > 80's Fates Warning.

@The Ozzman how do you feel about Back from the Dead by Obituary?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

There's no such thing as a good In Flames album.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

There's no such thing as a good In Flames album.

Shouldn't be controversial as they were crap even by Gothenburg standards.

 

[CiG]

I recall thinking Lunar Strain was decent.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I stand by Mysterium.

Mysterium's so underrated. The title track especially is amazing. That plodding part towards the end gives me shivers in the same way the ending of Imperious Rise/Rome does.

 

[CiG]

Yeah the title track is easily my favourite on the record, and even top-tier by the band in general IMO.

@The Ozzman how do you feel about Back from the Dead by Obituary?

I haven't listened to that one in a long time but there are a few good tracks on it at least. Probably in the bottom third of I had to rank it in a poll

And no one likes The Jester Race at least?

A friend was jamming the CD on site today and I was like "damn this crushes" haha.

Lots of people look down on that album because of the rap track at the end but that's one of the best tracks tbh. By the Light is a classic as far as I'm concerned

Obitiary is the king of knuckle dragger death metal
