New Morbid Angel, anyone?

Alright, enough about all the Mithras bullshit. They suck, and that's all that needs to be said. Fucking pisses me off when a thread about something cool turns into a discussion about some sorry shit. I even went and ripped most of their material besides their latest one just to see if they have ONE decent fucking musical number to justify their own existence - AND THEY FUCKING DO NOT! There. And even if they go through with convincing a decent drummer to play with them so that the dude can "concentrate" on playing guitar - I think that it'll be the same bunch of unimaginative fucking rubbish supported by a decent drumline!

So, which MA album has the best drumming, and which has the best guitarwork?

Drumming, probably Covenant. Possibly Gateways. Guitarwork, either Domination or Heretic, though that's just technically speaking. In terms of good fucking riffery, the first 3 + Formulas.

.!
 
I'm loving this mithras bashing.

It is great when more than one person speaks up and participates in times like these.

Covenant IS my favorite by MA overall, but the drums are mixed sort of poorly. Fleming Rasmussen really didn't do such a good job at mixing that album - it's all lows and mids and mud, but the songs are good enough to stand above that. I think Pete's drumming had gotten a lot better since Covenant, though. His playing on Gateways and Heretic IS actually superior to all of the previous releases, in my opinion. Blessed, Covenant, and Formulas have the best riffs - its hard for me to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I guess it would be Formulas.

Anyone else?
 
Covenant is a great album but lacks diversity. Blessed Are The Sick never became monotonous.

Their is one or two songs that are different in style that break up the album. It seems like morbid angel was trying to go back to altars of madness but not pulling it off aswell, regardless covenant is still better than majority of death metal cds.

The album could have used more expirimentation along the lines of god of emptiness, then again morbid angel started going that direction on domination.
 
Ahh, another reunion line up - this sounds all too familiar...

Could prove interesting, perhaps D.V will bring a new 'freshness' to their sound? Having distanced himself from the live metal circuit, David might have revitalized his passion for metal.

I've said it once, but I will say it again, behold the power of Formulas Fatal to the Flesh.

Seriously.

Formulas > Altars

Formulas is my favortie MA album as well, I was dissapointed that they didn't play anything post Domination on the Masters of Chaos tour.

That's because David Vincent didn't want to learn any of the material past Domination - probably fucked with his ego or something. I wonder what they are going to do in the future if he stays, I sure would like to hear some Formulas material live again.

Hopefully with better production.

Trey wanted to produce the album and do all the guitar writing and recording. I think the album sounds great. I think the sound is more natural.

I agree.
 
Altars of madness is the best one..not far behind blessed are the sick. after that they been going downhill. they should have quit when vincent left.
but noooo they had to fucking replace him with some lamer. blaah, fuck the new Morbid angel albums. they are not worthy to be played.

Listen to Formulas and Gateways again. Really. Then play Domination again.
You know that horrid shudder you're getting? That's when you realise that latter Dave Vincent (off topic: wasn't he the character from "The Invaders"?) era Morbid Angel was BOLLOCKS

Out of the first four, Domination is their worst easily.... so comparing Formulas to Domination is dumb, because it is as good as Altars and Bessed... of course it sounds better.

Vincent didn't "leave" - he got kicked out because Trey and Pete felt that he was getting further and further away lyrically than what the band was supposed to be about. I think that Tucker was a good addition, he saved Morbid Angel at the time. Formulas broke them out of the polished-up metal route that Domination was starting to take. If Vincent were to stay in the band at the time of his departure, I really believe that Morbid Angel would be defunct right now simply because they would have lost their credibility due to his strife for "commercial success".
As far as the above comment from a noob with five posts - you're a very shallow listener. And if you can't appreciate ANYTHING about Formulas or Gateways or Heretic at all, maybe you should not be on a metal forum.
