unpopular albums that you really like

[Ben_t]

No, I think a whole slew of threads got deleted because of the off-topic discussion of Zoidberg's sig. I think my post fell as victim to that.

EDIT: DOH! You're right. I thought this was the same page because the last page also had Celtic Frost - Monotheist at the top.

Haha no problem. I just thought it was funny as I just read the previous page and noticed it then you post it again like 10 posts later.

I am not sure about all of thenm, but Toxicity and Steal This Album are amazing releases. Maybe the self titled too, but I haven't listened to it much.

But they are only unpopular within a lot of metal circles. Worldwide they are very popular.

 

[zoidberg]

im speechless.

 

[BloodSword]

From the late 70's-"You Light up My Life." by Debbie Boone. I also would love to smell her panties!!!

 

[AchrisK]

im speechless.

Don't think of them as System of a Down, listen to the albums. Don't listen for metal, listen for music. I think SOAD are very unique and very talented.

"SHORTER OF BREATH, AND ONE DAY CLOSER TO DEATH."

One of the coolest songs ever.

Pink Floyd are epic fucking win, by far my favorite band of all time.

Don't listen for metal, listen for music.

A pretty good rule of thumb, which a number of people on this forum should adopt.

Pink Floyd are epic fucking win, by far my favorite band of all time.

Definitely one of the most creative and poetic bands. Far from one of the most fun, though. I have to be in a very specific mood for Floyd, and that mood rarely hits me.

Not that you care - I just felt like throwing out my 2 cents about them.

Talking Pink Floyd are we? As if anyone doesn't like DSotM? Talk about an album people don't like -- The Final Cut! It's my single, #1 favorite album of all-time, and it's the most hated upon Floyd album.

Anyway I think you guys telling people not to listen to metal... that's not cool. This is a metal forum. I'm proud to listen to metal for it's metalness because metal is fucking awesome. Metalheads should not be criticized on their own forum.

I have no hate for SOAD or Atreyu or whoever. But if it's not metal, it's not metal...

 

[As-I-Lay-Dying]

Spheres of Madness is

You should check out Organic Hallucinosis if you haven't. There's a couple of songs off it on their myspace.

Winds of Creation > all other Decap albums.


Although it doesn't have their best single tracks, Winds is just the over-all better album for me.

Meh, everyone deserves to be criticised. Though I tried to do mine in a joking and un-trollish manner.

You definetly succeeded. But when it comes to me and message boards, I tend to get pissed off about things and then just store them in my memory until I get a valid chance to complain about them.

lol, passive-aggressive

I love metal, because I love music, and metal happens to appeal to me more than any other style. But there is much musical value out there that is not metal. In the case of SOAD, they have some elements of metal, so metalheads may be tempted to listen to them and just hear "not real metal". But in fact if they are evaluated for their musical ideas, and not in light of how metal they are, one may be able to appreciate that they are a unique and talented band.

It's not how metal a metal band is that makes them good metal, it's how good they are at creating music.
