GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1983

[alex76]

The first four albums are total masterpieces and represent some of the very best of metal. Look, whatever bullshit edgelord trend this board is playing on now and whatever stupid shit the band has done doesn't take away that fact.... err... opinion.

 

[CiG]

Not sure what edgelords have to do with this. I just disagree, they're not masterpieces in my opinion.

 

[Krow]

Edgelord is at best a faggy 4chan buzzword. I'm so burnt out on Metallica I just can't bring myself to willingly listen to them.

 

[rms]

Disposable Heroes is a minimalist thrash metal masterpiece that uses repetition to perfect artistic effect.

ya, my favorite metallica tune next to Dyers Eve...I think

 

[alex76]

Edgelords:

"Metallica was mediocre at best"
"The Chasm is the best band ever"
"Anything other than early 90's lo-fi black metal is shit"
Any statement concerning Meshuggah, Dream Theater, or Arch from Fates Warning.
etc.

 

[Krow]

I believe what you're looking for is "in crowd"

What you're referring to there (at least partly) is the bestial goatnekkkro total death SS type. They really don't exist on this board.

 

[CiG]

This has now become much more idiotic than the previous Metallica conversation, cheers @alex76.

 

[Phylactery]

Edgelords:

"Metallica was mediocre at best"

No, MoP is mediocre at best.

"The Chasm is the best band ever"

Yes.

"Anything other than early 90's lo-fi black metal is shit"

No. But early 90s black metal is amongst the pinnacle of the metal genre.

See...

'someone thinks a band that was instrumental during my early years with the genre isn't as great as i do...but don't they realize my nostalgia for them? they must be wrong!'

 

[CiG]

Honestly right about now is when we need an obligatory "opinions aren't facts" comment from @The Ozzman.

I should just put it in my signature now to annoy you

 

[CiG]

That wouldn't annoy me, right now it's actually very appropriate.

 

[Phylactery]

See...

I agreed with only one of your statements.

 

[alex76]

Fuck, I swear it seems like you people have autism, seriously. This is like posting on Reddit!

 

[CiG]

You seem pretty autistic right now yourself.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

No, MoP is mediocre at best.

Yes.

No. But early 90s black metal is amongst the pinnacle of the metal genre.

put. down. that. crack pipe.

'someone thinks a band that was instrumental during my early years with the genre isn't as great as i do...but don't they realize my nostalgia for them? they must be wrong!'

So his "early years with metal" consist of masterpieces of the genre and yours consist of what? Ares kingdom, At the Gates and The Chasm? nothing from any of those bands comes close to touching the first four Metallica albums, regardless of what you "edgelord" circle jerkers around here want to spew out.

 

[CiG]

I'd definitely take the first four Metallica albums over The Chasm, Ares Kingdom, At the Gates and basically 90% of black metal.

Master of Puppets is still a wanky, masturbatory record though, even if I do like it quite a lot.

 

[no country for old wainds]

implying that anyone whose opinions differ from the consensus is trying to be edgy is lame as fuck, especially when it comes from metalheads - anyone who actually lived by that notion would be listening to bruno mars and/or the beatles, not metal.

that said, metallica > most beloved bands around here (leave at the gates out of this though!)

 

[CiG]

At the Gates, a band with one good album and the rest ranging from okay to pure shit?
