Controversial opinions on metal

[Blind Guardian]

i possibly like early carcass AND early benediction more than any bolt thrower, but it's quite a close call

Actually Cancer is better than both Carcass and Benediction. I'm not that well versed in the Bolt Thrower discography so I can't say anything about them.

 

[DarkBliss]

Those British ballista bongers are rather boring. I've listened to some of their stuff;pretty sameish

 

[no country for old wainds]

i think carcass were certainly distinctive, though obviously that's not to say they were necessarily distinctive in a good way

 

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

They were wildly inconsistent also.

 

[Omni]

People who don't like Bolt Thrower need to fuck off.

 

[Avigrus]

The first 3 Cancer albums are win.
All of Bolt Thrower's albums are win, even the most recent stuff.
SOS, Necroticism & Heartwork are win, Swansong blows major butt-fudge.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Actually, Alien Sex Fiend is better than every band above, but this is a metal forum, so nevermind...

 

[Badbird]

British Steel is the most overrated metal album of all time.

 

[The Ozzman]

Painkiller is the most overrated metal album of all time.

Fixed that for you

 

[Badbird]

I haven't heard a lot of Painkiller aside from the title track which I didn't care for.

do such people even exist? *not really been paying attention*

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

At The Gates was a good band, despite the trends they inadvertently caused.

 

[Krow]

It isnt controversial that At the Gates was a good band... not at all.

Welcome back baby, you're needed.

Judas Priest are rubbish.

"Nu-metal" wasn't entirely without merit, unless it applies solely to Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

1) Nope.
2) The thing about Nu-metal most people don't realize is that it is totally different from rap-rock (which is Shrimp Bisquick and *nsync 'n' Park). Nu-metal is correctly identified as KoRn, Coal Chamber, Spineshank, Deftones, and Soulfly, et al. Certain albums by Machine Head, Fear Factory, and of course Sepultura (Roots) also qualify. As far as merit, that would go to the aforementioned Deftones and Soulfly, along with Sevendust for the most part.

i think he's talking about sots-era atg though lol

duh, lol

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah well nobody gives a shit about nu metal, sots is just sugar metal & people who think priest are rubbish have only heard 80s material (and even then are wrong). somebody post something vaguely worthwhile

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Doro Pesch is hot but I can't stand listening to Warlok?
