Great songs on bad/mediocre albums

[Vegard Pompey]

This thread is for sharing songs you love that are hidden away on albums you would never recommend.

I'll start by sharing the song that inspired this thread. This is a 5/5 tune for me and I keep returning to it but the album it's on is pretty messy and not really worth anyone's time.

 

[The Ozzman]

Can't speak for the album this is from because I've never heard it but this rips.

 

[The Ozzman]

Most Venom I've heard is bad but that song is cool

"Controversial opinions on metal" is that way ----->

I won’t say it’s a bad or even mediocre album, I’ve just never been able to get into it aside from this track which slays.

It’s much easier to name bad/mediocre tracks from otherwise good/amazing albums. For that one I have “Where Dead Angels Lie” from Storm of the Light’s Bane. Awfully saccharine and bland especially when it’s on the same album as Soulreaper, Unhallowed and Night’s Blood.

No, it belongs here because it's relevant to the topic

... yeah that album is so mediocre. Definitely not on the level of the newest Black Label Society or Devil driver P - L - E - B

I can’t imagine thinking Hell Awaits is the best song on that album, or even close. It’s the only one that isn’t genuinely unhinged and psychotic.

 

[Phylactery]

Not amazing by any means, but a cut above everything else on Slaughter of the Soul.



An obvious one. Absolutely crushing and amazing masterpiece of a song. The rest of the album is mediocre.

 

[The Ozzman]

The title track is the only track that stands out on Hell Awaits to me. The rest of the album does absolutely zero for me.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

The rest of the album does absolutely zero for me.

... that's because you're a Pleb that listens to mallcore.

 

[Phylactery]

Here’s one that belongs in the controversial opinions thread and probably no one will agree with me:



A savage and violent riff fest. Rest of the album does nothing for me.

 

[The Ozzman]

Schizophrenia is better. I don't remember the last time I spun BTR but then again I don't spin Sepultura all that much relative to all the other thrash I own.

 

[Phylactery]

I agree Schiztophrenia is better! Morbid Visions is even better than that though imo.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Morbid Visions is even better than that though imo.

your opinion is incorrect.

Mr. Pleb posted a track not even from a Venom album, it's a single wedged between Welcome to Hell and Black Metal.

not great, but this is a good song on a weak album.


again, not great but good
