Controversial opinions on metal

The Beauty And The Beer

that 'un probably has the best Tankard album art, too, classic stuff

 

[bagdad]

I don't give a fuck about what anyone says. Testament's Formation of Damnation SLAYS and Exodus' The Atrocity Exibition.. Exibit A fucking slays as well

 

[mutantllama]

I think a few people here like The Formation of Damnation. Including me.

 

[Janga666]

I think The Formation of Damnation is one of the best newer thrash albums I've heard.

 

[Personified Hatred]

I like TFOD, too.

 

[TheInsane]

Testament's Formation Of Damnation was kinda a disappointment.

I think its good but as with every Testament album they work better in small doses for me. I dont know if the songs sound to much the same or what it is but for some reason I generally feel like they should make shorter records and skip some of the stuff that isnt excellent.

 

[The Ozzman]

TFOD was a disappointment given all the hype, but still better than stuff like Souls of Black and Demonic

 

[Dak]

I wish Souls of Black had good production. Some of the weakest production I have ever heard.
And yeah, Testament never seems to change tempo much which makes it difficult listening to an entire album straight through.

Jesus man, I think SoB is their best. The guitar playing is lightyears ahead of what they were doing before then. I don't even think the production is bad at all, especially when compared to a lot stuff guys here go apeshit over. I mean come the fuck on: early Darkthrone production Vs. "Souls of Black" production?? No comparrison. "Souls of Black" is Testament's "And Justice For All" & likewise they are my favorite albums from both bands.

"Demonic" on the other hand is fucking terrible as is the new album. Yuck. The only album they did with James Murphy that I "liked" was "Low" & even that had a bit of filler.

Orbituary are boring

Souls of Black is fucking awesome.

 

[S<issors]

Obituary get a lot of hate/apathy in this thread. It's cyclic, like Opeth discussion but somewhat less prevalent.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Obituary is boring just like 99% of all thrash and death metal.

 

[S<issors]

Obituary is boring just like 99% of all music.

fyp

 

[Dak]

all Darkthrone production Vs. "Souls of Black" production?? No comparrison.

Fixed, and comparing intentional shit to accidental shit isn't really a good argument.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Obituary is boring just like 99% of all death metal.

Now I agree with you.

The main reason i can't get into Testament except for The Gathering which rules.
