Most overrated and underrated bands ever

[Hammer of Might]

Ya know, it's shit like this that caused Erik to become a mod. He's gonna have a field day on this thread.

What the hell are you talking about? You're such a moron, how was I "stepping on Erik's toes"?

 

[Necro Joe]

That's because its the red haired child, and lets face it, no one likes a ginger...

That kind of bigotry ain't tolerated round these parts, FLY AT HIM ERIK!!!

 

[Carcassian]

I'm the Emperor of gingers ya wazzock.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Erik should still fly at you now for saying wazzock :Smug:

 

[SheisMySin]

Overrated: Kreator


They are on the cusp of being good, but never quite get there. Completely bland material that flirts with great songs...but doesn't deliver asides from a few riffs.

Then someone needs to cut thee plague of gingerness off at the root and ban your (probably) hairy ass.

 

[skeptik]

I'll admit that I'm a fan of Metallica's self-titled. I rarely (once every few years) listen to it, but I think it's better than at least ...And Justice For All.

 

[Necro Joe]

Yeah feel that black power!

 

[SheisMySin]

...And Justice For All will always be a great album for me as it's the one that got me into metal beyond the hard rock of Gun's and Roses. One was really the song that got me into metal.

Hearing "Blackened" for the first time made me giddy as it was totally evil compared to anything I'd ever heard before. (mostly just listened to 80's radio stuff)

[dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34]

Overrated: In Flames even though I like them a lot of their songs just sound all the same.
Underrated: Necrophagist I don't hear too much about them they kick ass

Must be all the riff changes in Sad But True!

 

[SheisMySin]

Colony was a masterpiece of melodic metal...I thought. But yeah...after a while, it's just all the same.

Scott

 

[Slayed Necros]

Most Graveland discussion revolves around people not liking the production on Thousand Swords

faggots

 

[Zephyrus]

Scott

Agreed, slightly edging Clayman.

 

[Pull The Plug]

I'd take Pleasure to Kill and Darkness Descends over Master of Puppets

Thats probably because you like albums that do nothing new.

 

[unknown]

perhaps

*as I look at the Ephel Duath avatar*

 

[Pull The Plug]

Wow thats brilliant. A band who unsuccessfully mixes genres together.

 

[unknown]

Thats probably because you like albums that do nothing new.

Ephel Duath = doing something new. true, there have been jazz metal bands before, but not too many and even fewer like ephel duath

so, I probably DO like albums that do do something new. (this is not to count frantic bleep, the various mike patton projects, sleepytime gorilla museum, ved buens ende and other bands I listen to...) I chose Darkness Descends over Master of Puppets because in terms of sheer speed/thrash metal, Darkness Descends is just non-stop. Master of Puppets is a decent record. But it's not high on my list.

and do I need to go into what new territories Metallica has gone into recently?

 

[Teh Grimace]

ephel duath is great.

 

[Pull The Plug]

Old Ephel Duath is good, new stuff tries to do too much. It just loses all coherency and flow a lot of the time.

I wouldn't consider Ephel Duath actually doing something new, what they do has been done before.
