Controversial opinions on metal

[youdontknowme]

For me it was always Kreator > Destruction > Sodom, with Kreator way out in front and Sodom way behind. Agent Orange was a pretty good album, but apart from that I could take them or leave them. Both Kreator and Destruction, on the other hand, have multiple classics.

agreed.

Clean vocals > screaming

no, n00b

 

[Zephyrus]

only Kreator.

 

[The Ozzman]

I LOVE BLACK LABEL SOCIETY

discuss

The Blessed Hellride and 1919 Eternal are the band's best albums

 

[SentinelSlain]

Clean vocals > screaming

Depends. I hate the style of clean vocals popular with scene bands, and I hate their screaming too.

Classic metal and rock clean singing I like. Decent harsh vocals are ok, but they are rarely a big part of why I like the music.

 

[Ross]

never really got into Destruction or Sodom, they both have some great albums though.

but nothing comes close to Kreator.

 

[The Butt]

Never listened to any destruction, being the thrash n00b that I am. Recommend me some shit, lads and lasses.

And as much as I love both bands, Sodom > Kreator. Persecution Mania alone beats out anything Kreator ever did.

 

[Black Friday]

From what I've heard this is true to the extreme. Agent Orange is the biggest eargasm ever.

Kreator > Sodom > Destruction

Kreator (never wrote a great song in their career, but in their defense mostly avoided writing crap)

This fails for two reasons:
One, they wrote a ton of fucking kickass material
Two, they wrote some absolute shit in the 90s

Pretty much. Bad clean vocals can bring an album down a lot more then bad harsh vocals would bring an album down.


Also, Kreator>Sodom

Then again, all I have is Persecution Mania from Sodom.

wat

falco get the fuck out

 

[Bitencourt29]

I can only imagine that people who say Sodom > Kreator have never listened to stuff like Terrible Certainty, Coma of Souls, Pleasure to Kill or Extreme Aggression.

 

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

Sodom always sounded pretty workmanlike.

 

[Zephyrus]

Ok, so a friend just finished listening to The Reek of Putrefaction and immediately announced:

"Man, I'm hungry!"

We've had a recent string of dead prostitutes turning up. Should I report this to the police?

I'm going to start calling you Yellow Horse, because that's what your name means.

Ill take M-16 and Agent Orange over any of Kreator's works atm.

 

[waif]

?

i.e. basic, getting the job done but no frills, no real art.

Gonna restate my standing conviction that Led Zeppelin may just me the most colossally overrated group of hacks ever, and just because Jimmy Page is an excellent guitarist doesn't make them a worthwhile band.

Hordes of Chaos grinds M-16 so far into the ground it's not funny. I dug M-16, btw, but the second half kinda blows.

But john bonham is worth listening to them for. *edit* Holy slow ninjas
