Most overrated bands

[Nico]

Something I'd actually really love to know is, what sort of sales numbers does a band like Slipknot reach?

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

maybe because some nu metal prove talent and worthyness, nothing youd recognize considering you listen to soilwork

Wow I hope you die a slow and horrible death for mentioning soilwork.

They have it on Roadrunner's site something around 600,000 in the U.S. (I know wtf?)

for your own sake i hope your being sarcastic

That is far lower than I expected. Maybe they've sold more shirts than albums

And may I ask what the fuck you'll do about it?

Toughguy = loose

Ender likes Orgy. The band, that is*. I think they're a great nu-metal act, although they are rather light.

And the activity, of course.

 

[Carcassian]

Orgy are awful.

In every sense.

Sorry.

 

[byrne]

Orgy are nu-metal? I've only heard that song "Blue Monday" and I think its ok, but sounds more like gothic rock/trance than a nu-metal band.

 

[Carcassian]

Stained Class is their best though.

Actually, not.

Sad Wings of Destiny > Screaming for Vengeance > Stained Class

 

[fat bastard]

It was before they made Painkiller::Smokedev:
Sad wings and Defender is best in my humle opinion.

i like defenders but painkiller smokes too. they should have stayed on that road instead of the blend they kinda used on the new one.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Stained Class
Sad Wings of Destiny
Screaming for Vengeance
Painkiller
British Steel
Turbo

I don't particularly enjoy Ram It Down and I am yet to hear Defenders of the Faith. The rest I also haven't heard.

Slayer is not overrated, their new stuff just sucks, thats all.

What else have we talked about? Oh yeah, DMDS is the greatest black metal album of all time, whether you like it or not.

Defenders is great! Go get it.
DMDS is overrated, good music but utterly awful vocals.

 

[Carcassian]

Actually, I think the vocals are utterly eerie and disturbing. Perfect for the atmosphere.

Metallica, Opeth, In Flames, Nevermore, Kataklysm, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, the list goes on..

I could barely keep myself from busting up when I first heard it. I was like "what the fuck is this? Is this a joke? How the hell is this the most grim, kvlt album?"

 

[Nico]

Attila's vocals are honestly marvelous. They're extremely menacing, and the semi-operatic style he goes for in some particular passages (like on the title track, and Pagan Fears) is magic. It's best to think of it as another instrument, since that really seems to be what he was trying to do.

 

[byrne]

yeah, i agree with the above post. i didnt really dig it at first, but seriously, re-listen - his vocals are amazing on that album; chilling, menacing (as mentioned above), seemingly devoid of any sort of emotion. but even then, thats just the start of it - everything about the album rules

 

[Personified Hatred]

Children of Bodom
Opeth

 

[ALK]

Almost any norwegian black metal band formed after 1995
