Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

Yeah that's a good way of putting it. It's just mid as fuck. Very inoffensive.

In my friend circles Hulder is huge, very hyped.

 

[SonOfNun]

Her? Black Metal? Pass.

On the other hand the new Morbific album has finally started to click for me. The main riff in "Baptized in the Fluids of Decay" is mindmeltingly sick. Beneath all that fuzz is some good shit.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i forgot if i'd listened to hulder so i went to her RYM. apparently i gave the album 1.5 and wrote this:

i’d like to apologise to hulder on rym’s behalf, this album is bad but no musician deserves this abomination of a comment box

Thatta boy.

I think the overall sound is a small obstacle at the outset, but it's definitely a riff-fest. I've been jamming it a lot recently and I'm now thinking it's at least on a par with the debut if not better.

I checked the comment box. Holy shit.

Controversial Opinion:

"Gypsy" & "Dirty Women" off of Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy is better than anything off of their previous work, Sabotage.

 

[no country for old wainds]

definitely agree on ‘dirty women’ at least. edit: actually, i’d take ‘symptom of the universe’ first, but over the rest yeah.

 

[CiG]

"Dirty Women" rules and has a strong case but "Gypsy" doesn't even touch Sabotage's opening track let alone "Symptom of the Universe" for me.

A woman for sale is gonna help me save my day! < followed by death by Iommi>



So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now...



Still, I love 'em both!

Dreaming Neon Black is Nevermore's worst album. They went a bit soft & overblown.

Lateralus is Tool's worst other than Fear Inoculum (which I only bothered to listen to once). I mostly just don't like/get the structure of Lateralus. 2 interludes within the first 4 tracks, and yet they still made it front-loaded with the 2nd half too long for what it has to offer.

Fuck the Universe is my least favourite Craft album and yet it gets the highest ratings online. It's good with nothing unusual or extraordinary, just feeding their average fan exactly what they wanted I suppose.

 

[no country for old wainds]

do any craft albums have anything that is unusual and extraordinary?

 

[Bloopy]

Their last one had more polished production and even an 'electronics' credit. Then there's more interesting vocals on Terror Propaganda, and the extra savagery of Total Soul Rape, so yeah, less ordinary.

Jari Mäenpää is actually quite prolific.
