Most overrated and underrated bands ever

[unknown]

then I would love to know what other bands are doing "Avant-garde jazz/metal" (as M-A has it), because I'm really enjoying the new album.


(and I was serious with that)

 

[Teh Grimace]

ephel duath is quite unique.

 

[Pull The Plug]

The only thing that makes them unique is the constant bursting in the music and the vocals.

 

[unknown]

the vocals are probably the one thing I could do without

 

[Pull The Plug]

I like where Ephel Duath is going, I just don't believe they've made their fusion (EDIT: as a whole) work yet.

And yes the vocals are too much sometimes.

 

[Teh Grimace]

ephel duath has good vocals.

 

[Pull The Plug]

They have their flaws, accept it and pull your head out of their ass.

Unknown; I was probably just being an ass before but you seemed to just lump MOP in the category of just another decent thrash album. That album wasn't about non-stop full on thrash. It did new things for thrash/metal and it did it well.

 

[Teh Grimace]

ephel duath do not have flaws.

 

[AlphaTemplar]

Overrated - Nile. The Egyptian theme could be a really interesting twist, but it basically involves tossing in samples between what sounds like 8-year-olds thrashing on their older brothers' instruments.

Nile is pretty technical.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Ephel Duath is the only metal band I know that uses the melodic minor scale. That's what they do new. Whether they do it well I won't comment on.

 

[Boru]

overrated - ministry
underrated - slipknot because they were considered pop metal but i just consider it their style, the masks and shit was cool i thought, and they didn't sound like other nu metal shit

 

[Ender Rises]

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

I love redheads, personally. Nothing hotter.

 

[Ender Rises]

Dude perhaps you shouldn't assume you know people better than you do, Erik's not a moron and he can tell the difference between people flinging poo for no reason and a normal, heated argument.

True.

 

[Ender Rises]

Why Ender? That's what I call an expression of his opinion. To be fair, I also think MoP is pretty over rated. I like it, but fuck, it isn't the Uber album that everyone thinks it is.

I stupid
And Metallica as a whole is pretty overrated.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Agreed, slightly edging Clayman.

Are you kidding? Clayman is quite mediocre. There are maybe three interesting songs on that album. I thought it was cool about five years ago when I first heard it, but it offers so little. Even Reroute to Remain is worlds better.

Colony is moderately good though. Like most IF albums, suffers from too much filler at the end of the album. Why do you think they rerecorded Behind Space?

no worries! all is well

 

[SheisMySin]

>>>I chose Darkness Descends over Master of Puppets because in terms of sheer speed/thrash metal, Darkness Descends is just non-stop

Dude, since when is pure speed equal to brilliant?

Every metal band out there is quite capable of throwing that speed at listeners, and MoP showed it could be every bit as fast and heavy without being stagnant and stuck in pure speed mode.

I never understand how people can like speed after speed after speed song. Haunted, Crown, Kreator, etc etc...it's like...guys...we get it, you can play fast every song in every record - how about something a LITTLE different?
