unpopular albums that you really like

For one anything Akercocke has ever done, I don't have a clue why they get such negative feedback; especially here. They play very tasteful extreme metal.
 
Slayer - Divine Intervention

Done well. All things good about Slayer is sharply shown here. Why is Seasons In The Abyss considered the "last good" Slayer album?

It isn't. Divine Intervention was very good. The new one was good and even Diabolous was decent. Really only GHUA was terrible and even that had a few good tracks.
 
Fear Factory - Digimortal

I'll second that...it's just catchy in all it's corny simplicity.

I can't for the life of me picture people like St. Anger. Holy f#ck that isn't even music...just banging on pie tins. I think people are so desperate to like unpopular things that they are claiming to like even the trash of the trash.

I like Korn and Linkin Park.
 
Someone mentioned Deliverance...lol...I used to love them...especially What a Joke!

I'm surfing the net for them, and found 2 new albumns that aren't too bad. The music is sweet prog-metal, but the vocals are just too slow...kinda like Nevermore.

Yeah man What a Joke was a good one! PROPHET OF... IDIOCY!!!
 
Iron Maiden - The X Factor

Anyone that doesn't like this is a stone cold faggot. Great musicianship, atmospheric production, honest songwriting. I love that Maiden made this dark album.
 
oh yeah, and this too:

What fool doesn't appreciate Stormblast ?

I'm going to go a bit reverse topic here, and say that South of Heaven has got to be the WORST Slayer album, courtesy of
Tom Araya's abysmally lackluster vocals. His intonation makes it sound like he's leading a exercise class.
 
Not sure what you consider unpopular, but:
Testament-The Gathering
Hatesphere-The Sickness Within
Thurisaz-Circadian Rhythm (best shit ive heard at the moment in which no one ever mentions them)...amazing disc.

Are you insane?! SOH is easily in their top 5 best cd's. GHUA is without a doubt the worst album they have released.
 
Testament-The Gathering

I'm pretty sure this album and is very popular and seen in a very positive light.

Also about South Of Heaven being the worst, you have to be kidding me! Yes the vocals are awful, but the songwriting and musicianship is Slayer at some of their finest.

I would hardly call the vocals awful... a tad 'dull' maybe but not awful. And yeah its a fucking classic. :kickass:

yea they are nowhere near as energetic or as explosive as reign in blood

the album is controlled mid-pace masterful thrash.

Gothenburg is unpopular around here.

Dark Tranquillity - Projector
Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges
Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Amorphis - Tuonela

you are about the last person I would imagine liking any children of bodom.
 
For the person who mentioned Fear Factory demanufacture, this album is probably one of the more popular 90's metal ablums and I would say it's one of those gateway albums into extreme music. People on some true metal boards are not going to talk about. I bet if you go on other boards it's highly praised. Fear Factory was one of the first bands to mix death metal with industrial. I can't think of any industrial death metal besides the first pitch shifter for the early 90's.
