decent metal albums since 1988?

[breaklose]

the lyrics to afraid to shoot are great. stuff about dignity and friendship and all that. heavy metal

its shame the other 12 songs of this album are shit tho

 

[Don Corleone]

true, full of fillers. though i like a few more from there:

wasting love
judas be my guide
the apparition

i like these, too. a bit.

 

[breaklose]

the apparition is the worst iron maiden song ever.

 

[Hypnos]

Fear Of the Dark is far better than No Prayer and miles ahead of that crappy albums with Blaze (not because of him, the songs were just shitty). and after i thought the band wont do anything worthy my attention anymore the blew me away with Brave New World. Dance Of Death was a big disappointment after that...
that's just my opinion, you have yours breaklose and i have mine, yet i'm curious which Maiden album you consider the best. my fav is Piece Of Mind...

 

[Sunshine]

I sort of like the X-factor, best Maiden album at least since 7th..

 

[Don Corleone]

x-factor is a great album. very different but good still

i liked their last one too.

i like 'seventh son of a seventh son' the best. i sort of like 'no prayer for the dying' cause its one of the first iron maiden albums i had when i was a kid, so its all about the memories and that. the first half of 'brave new world' is good yeah, and like you said that 'dance of meffs' is a real piece of poo.

 

[Bambi]

Iron Maiden didnt release any albums after Seventh son

 

[breaklose]

youre just bitter.

 

[Don Corleone]

just a question:

what should i do if i like some latter albums from maiden (among others from the earlier periods)? is it wrong?

just curious.

 

[nomana-nuniyan]

yes. and you're going to get the gang-spanking of your life for it.

No need to worry about that, Opeth liking should take up all your worrying time

 

[Don Corleone]

yeah it's on the list, too.

but as they are my fave band ever, yes, they are actually on the top of my list.

 

[Bambi]

but youve heard King Crimson Don! how can Opeth be your favourite?

 

[donkho]

[breaklose]

don's shaken my hand too, so he should know what opeth's worth by now.

 

[Don Corleone]

give me more! hahahahaha

I LOVE OPETH
OPETH RULES

HAHAHA!

 

[Don Corleone]

and i know you like opeth, bambi. dont deny it and dont make me dig up very very old threads!

 

[discouraged1]

i think 7th son is the best maiden album too

Okay, so if the quality of metal dropped substantially after 1988, what caused it?

some options:

+ the collapse of the Berlin wall
+ postmodernism
+ globalization
+ Holland winning the European Championships in 1988
+ house music / electronic influences
+ the Internet
+ a change in the music industry
