Controversial opinions on metal

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Nevermore is mostly garbage.

Iced Earth is mostly garbage.

'Painkiller' is one of the most forced sounding albums I've ever heard.

Testament sucks.

'The Sceptre of Deception' is easily one of the best Falconer albums.

DC Cooper's tone is often irritating.

Bruce Dickinson gets away with being out of tune more than any other singer.

Painkiller is supposed to sound over the top and forced I think.

devin townsend's terria is awkward.

plus the name for years got me confused with bruce springstein, because they both have band name....names...ya kno?

Here's a controversial opinion...

Your controversial opinion is wrong!

devin townsend's terria is awkward.

I used to be really big on Devin; but I honestly do not fucking know why. His music is boring as fuck. He seems to be vastly overrated by a certain crowd. A lot of his stuff just sounds like generic alternative rock.

Is it only those two songs? I have the version of Onset with those two songs... when viewer said "their demo", I assumed there was more, and got all excited.

The demo itself is longer, they only used 2 tracks.

I was initially bored with his solo stuff, but I currently regard Terria as awesomeness in its purest form. Quite possibly the best album ever; Images and Words is close though.

This, and they made the drum samples gay.

Well this thread died hard.

I DO NOT BELIEVE METAL EXISTS

 

[XSASweet]

lol

Nightwish - Oceanborn is great and anyone who thinks otherwise likes men.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Folk Metal is brimming over with wrongability in general.

 

[Belligerent]

^You would be wrong sir.

 

[Zephyrus]

The basis of Folk Metal is the folkish melody, which is lame. They're good when thrown into Black Metal here and there, but when that's the only element, it gets boring quickly.

 

[Alter]

Folk Metal is stupid.

 

[Gold]

Folk Metal is stupid.

extremely

re: Oceanborn.........yes....the best Nightwish by about a billion miles. Everyone says 'Wishmaster' but even though it's also great it comes off like this incomplete copy.


I think a lot of folk metal blows too...doesn't matter what genre blend it is... but the super typical blackened folk thing comes off sounding like ass with so many bands.
