Controversial opinions on metal

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Later Dark Tranquillity is pretty awesome. I don't know how controversial this is really.

 

[TheInsane]

Slaughter of The Soul is a lot better than With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness. end

I for one think At The Gates are greatly overrated. Its just boring neo-thrash. The sound every band would try to adopt in the late 90'ies. Just boring with nothing exceptional.

 

[The Ozzman]

Only SOTS could be anywhere near considered neo-thrash

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

I think just about all Dark Tranquillity is pretty evenly worthless, so....

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Only a few songs are really good...Blinded By Fear is one of them.

And Cold is another.

It is the only Dark Tranquillity era I enjoy, though it is not groundbreaking material by any means.

TRITSIO and Gardens of Grief are not anywhere near neo-thrash?

Eh, Fiction is the only album worth listening to for me.

 

[The Ozzman]

I got started with Damage Done. I like that album and Haven loads

 

[Zephyrus]

Haven is their worst album.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Wonders At Your Feet is a damn good song

 

[CF87]

And Cold is another.

Unto Others(best song on the entire album imo)

 

[tagradh]

The only Dark Tranquility album I enjoy the whole way through is Projector. All the other albums have a few good songs but not enough to make me wanna buy them.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Unto Others(best song on the entire album imo)

It's alright maybe, I only really care for Cold and the instrumentals.

Agreed. Also, Lost to Apathy was the first extreme metal song I heard.

I don't knock Dark Tranquillity's later material; I actually think their latest is very good. However, I cannot fathom how people think The Gallery is bad. It's not the most accessible record by any means, and I think it takes patience and effort to discover the subtleties of the music; but I still think it's their best release.

 

[The Ozzman]

This is a funny review of The Gallery: http://www.metalcrypt.com/pages/review.php?revid=4551

 

[Einherjar86]

I've read that. It's on Metal Archives too.

 

[Zephyrus]

That Thanksgiving analogy doesn't work if you don't eat a platter of Dragonforce two hours earlier, which anyone with good taste won't do anyway.

True. Damage Done is probably the best among their latest releases.
