The little things that ruin albums

[Son of Evil]

Hammerfall and Edguy are OK by me.

Anyway, bad production is one. I don't mind a raw production when it adds to the effect, but when used for stuff such as Evergrey's Dark Discovery album, it totally ruins the entire thing.

Secondly, excessive use of Keyboards. But quite often,I can hack it

 

[HatchetDrummer]

Every King Diamond album is ruined due to boring and easy instrumentation, boring vocals, and dumb lyrics.

I think you might be retarded. JMO.

At The Gates - With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness - might have been better than Slaughter of the Soul, but we'll never know because the production is horrible

Amon Amarth - The Crusher - Not too great regardless, but songs like As Long As The Raven Flies and Masters of War would be amazing if not for shitty production

Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse - Amazing as it is, but the vocals are to far back in the mix, and also there are tons of guitar melodies that you can't really hear because the production is so poor (Although not being able to hear the snare drum makes it better, imo)

Shadows Fall (ALL with Brian Fair on voxx) - Still great, but that dude can't sing for shit

 

[General Zaroff]

Bad production.

It's either mixed poorly, too "dirty/raw" sounding, too clean sounding, or the volume is really low on it.

 

[EvilBassist]

Lamb of God - New American Gospel

It's an excellent, almost immaculate album, but Chris Adler sounds like he's pounding on a bunch of pillows instead of a drum set.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Street Lethal and Second Heat by Racerx. Jeff martin's vocals sucked horribly.

 

[Matt]

Back Sabbath - s/t (ruined by the hard rock song thrown in)

?

 

[Zephyrus]

Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse - Amazing as it is, but the vocals are to far back in the mix, and also there are tons of guitar melodies that you can't really hear because the production is so poor (Although not being able to hear the snare drum makes it better, imo)

The vocals blend in better with the atmosphere rather than acting on their own. As for the melodies, you need better headphones to pick out those melodies. ITNE's production is one of the best jobs that black metal's ever rendered.

He is. Don't worry, we know by now.

And hatchet is the shit.

 

[ForeverMetal]

in my experience, with deathmetal its vocals and going fast for the sake of going fast

with bm, its production.
