[TechnicalBarbarity]

nah, its not.

 

[CiG]

Tis.

 

[EspaDa]

its actually better than what you have listed at #1, and i like Engram.

Endgame is a easy 4/5 and one of the best comeback albums from the earlier thrash legends.

It's Megadeth's best album since Youthanasia man.

 

[Onder]

Megadeth is a shitty band FYI.

I only blow my load to Amorphis' first two albums. I actually own Skyforger, but the fact is that I don't remember any of it, so it will get zero consideration for this year's top ten list. However, people wouldn't shit on you so much for your pop music proclivities if you didn't constantly mention it apropos of nothing - hell, you even shoehorned a mention of Taylor Swift into the 1988 Top Ten Poll. I won't shit on you merely for liking it, but you clearly have a one-dimensional conception of what constitutes "fun" in music.

 

[no country for old wainds]

carly rae jepsen >>> amorphis let's face it

 

[CiG]

I don't even agree but I'm fascinated by how Mort's taste in pop music seems to rub some butts the wrong way in here.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

carly rae jepsen >>> amorphis let's face it

No, because Karelian Isthmus and Tales From The Thousand Lakes are beyond reproach. Nothing I've heard from CRJ is even on par with Jennifer Lopez.

 

[CiG]

Nothing I've heard from CRJ is even on par with Jennifer Lopez.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Boy Problems is literally better than 95% of Finnish metal.

 

[CiG]

I don't get the hate for CRJ, she seems to make genuinely good and fun pop music.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Boy Problems is literally better than 95% of Finnish metal.

No it fucking isn't, save some of that paint thinner for its intended purpose.

I don't get the hate for CRJ, she seems to make genuinely good and fun pop music.

I've yet to see it. Abba has made some genuinely good and fun pop music, at least with a few of their songs. What has CRJ made that's on par with that?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Amorphis is riffless shit. CRJ has far more energy and spontaneity than Amorphis ever did.

 

[CiG]

I've yet to see it. Abba has made some genuinely good and fun pop music, at least with a few of their songs. What has CRJ made that's on par with that?

Nobody has made much on par with ABBA.

But I listen to this EP a lot, considering I'm not exactly a fan of her.

 

[Krow]

Carly Rae Jepsen is talked about entirely too much on this metal forum you bunch of faggots.

 

[CiG]

That's probably true.
