GMD Poll: Exodus's Discography Ranked

[The Ozzman]

you should have gathered all your devil driver and disturbed albums, tied them to your ankles and jumped off a bridge into some deep, deeeep lake.

They wouldn't be heavy enough GIVEN HOW FAT I'M PERCEIVED TO BE AMIRITE?!

FTR I own zero Disturbed albums

 

[CiG]

They wouldn't be heavy enough

Because they're false metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... one copy of Mystification would sink the poor bastard for sure.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Black Label Society aren't totally terrible. Better albums than Mystification or Out of the Abyss, iirc.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Better albums than Mystification

... dude what the fuck is wrong with you? I refuse to believe that you're being serious here. And if you are, please go and listen to Mystification again and come back and apologize.

 

[CiG]

SAY SORRY.

Mystification (1987)

Mystification - 3/5 (jangly Manilla Road like a more conservative Return of the Old Ones, with a heavier middle-section)
Dragon Star - 3/5 (melodic arpeggiated Manilla Road, pleasant ballad)
Masque of the Red Death - 3/5 (funny that their grandfather clock is out of tune and timing, has some Coroner-esque riffing, I'm noticing now that the 'Remember Tomorrow' chord progression (or something close) pops up multiple times on both this album and The Deluge)
Haunted Palace - 2/5 (more generic trad but with some guitar trills, the solo and post-solo jam riff are neat though)
The Asylum - 2/5 (instrumental, bonus track apparently, some decent ideas but feels half-baked)
Spirits of the Dead - 2/5 (also uninspiring riffs but has some more ringing chords and a lighter mood than the first three songs)
Valley of Unrest - 1.5/5 (man the same riff just keeps coming)
Death by the Hammer - 1.5/5 (wtf, I swear they've written almost this exact same song before)
Up from the Crypt - 1/5 (garbage thrash riffs)
Children of the Night - 1/5 (generic marching trad that's 7 minutes long)

No apologies.

 

[CiG]

Well, at least you put the title track in the upper ranks of the album.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

of course i pop my head into see manilla road rates.......

 

[The Ozzman]

Gotta keep good ol' Skidmark alive in our hearts and minds

 

[The Ozzman]

Because they're false metal.

Explain how these tracks don't qualify as metal in no less than 100 words:







but this is somehow 'muh pinnacle of trad metal':

 

[CiG]

No.

 

[Krow]

of course i pop my head into see manilla road rates.......

HBB and the fozzman are pretty obviously obsessed with Manilla Road. The Shark forever sank his teeth into their denial filled souls.

 

[The Ozzman]

No.

Yeah that's what I thought

The Shark forever sank his teeth into their denial filled souls.

Pretty sure this forum already did that

 

[CiG]

Yeah that's what I thought

Not going to explain the difference between a serious statement and a joke to an anvil hammering fat cuck.

 

[The Ozzman]

anvil hammering fat cuck.

You win. I lol'd at this.

Sorry for getting behind on this. I calculated the results but didn’t have time to post the results. I’m traveling this weekend and consequently had a lot of real work to do during the week. I’ll get the results posted on Tuesday or Wednesday. And I’ll launch the Fates Warning one on Monday when I get home.

#10 Exhibit B: The Human Condition (2010)

Average points per vote: 2.89/10

To me 2010 has been a year of disapointments:

Exodus - Exhibit B: Never really bad but its loooooooong. It has a few great things on there but the next album should be 8 songs and they should be picky about what makes the record and what does not.

#9 The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A (2007)

Average points per vote: 3.14/10

The Atrocity Exhibition is awesome as shit.

Call To Arms intro is just fucking badass

Alot of people seem to have negative things to say about that album but it still kicks my ass. Really good stuff!

The CD just sounds like pedaling for the entire album. It was really boring IMO and the only good song is the hidden track
