ha, so in the first one, after the "80s Black Metal" tag for Damnation, another one of the "modern" bands, Repugnant, is listed at metal-archives as "Old School Death/Thrash Metal". C'mon, one of you must have gone and edited that just to mess with me! I may not have known any of the bands, but I least I knew it all had that horrible sound of oldness to it, whether it was genuinely old, or inexplicably just pretending to be. I'm a sharp one.
So yeah, much better job with round 2 at finding some bands that have read the memo on how to not suck. Although still none of them made me say "dude, I want to hear more of that!" (except maybe the Dickinson, and the Saxon, which doesn't really fall under my definition of "metal").
Anyway, it's a cool and fun idea, it just sucks that our tastes are completely different.

Haha i mean... i really want to believe your mate when he says your joking, but if you aren't... Jesus Christ man.
By the way im curious on which bands "did NOT read the memo on how not to suck".
Reign in Acai
Of Elephant and Man
He's not joking one bit, this guy is a pretentious s.o.b. Jason is such a good hearted guy that he'll say anything to stand up for his friends.
Jason, you're the man, I'm the fan. Can't say the same for Neil, sorry bud.

We're not friends - Neil doesn't have friends, only tolerance of inferiority.

LOL! I knew it was Primordial...look, you can give me 5 seconds of Iron Maiden and I'd probably need to wait for Bruce to start singing before I could guess.
By the way, that Nocturnus was on the tip of my tongue. I goddamn love that song / album.

About the Saxon song not falling under my definition of metal, I wasn't joking at all about that, but I was making that claim only within the specific context of this thread. The feeling I got from most of the bands in round 1 was that the only way they knew how to be "intense" and "metal" was to be primitive and unsophisticated. That's essentially the issue that the memo solved: "hey guys, you can be intense AND sophisticated at the same time now!" The Saxon song just fit in a different category, because it wasn't trying to be intense ("extreme") like all the other ones, so the memo wasn't even directed at bands like them.
Well, apparently most of them, but especially the ones from the 90s/00s who clearly should have known better but were deliberately trying to copy the sound of other, older bands. Certainly I recognize that many of those older bands were crucial to the development of the music I enjoy now. I might not care for their music, but I completely respect their importance. However, I also recognize that the Wright Flyer was extremely important to the development of air travel as we know it today. But I sure as hell am not going to take it out of the Smithsonian and use it to fly to Europe. There have been quite a few advancements since 1903, so I'll take the 747, if that's alright.
Awesome. Is it ok if I use "Tolerance of Inferiority" as the title for my first album?

Meh, why not? I haven't gone too far with it. I guess it's back to pitching pennies for skittles & fish biscuits for me.

9. Sadus - Kill Team (Necuratul)
10. Venom - In League With Satan (IoTS)
Done and done! Someone make another one perhaps? And how about having the old/new sux/rox discussion in another thread, eh?
In short, the funay in the game isn't about good vs. bad really, although I tend to pick stuff I like and make it little recommendations meanwhile, but diversity and a good difficulty level is the thing here and not only having Infernal Hierarchy and Helvete songs noone will ever guess, nor is it a personal top ten. I just don't have much stuff I don't like so those are not likely to end up in my little quizzes.

Can't say I can tell the songs apart really, it was such a long time ago I listened to that record
