What do you see as a 'disgrace' to metal music? Why?

[argonaut]

What I really like about some of the classic bands is that they had their own sound, their own direction. Those were the bands that created genres.

Seems like most bands now are just aping the current band/song that's trending.

Mixing and mastering of most releases now also seems to follow a formulaic approach.

I also hate it when I pay good money for a CD and there are a couple of good tracks but everything else is filler.

couple of good tracks but everything else is filler.

This has been present for decades. See: Killers by Iron Maiden

 

[CiG]

That's how I feel about The Number of the Beast and definitely not Killers.

 

[EspaDa]

That's definitely what I think. Unfortunately, despite having classic tracks like Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run to the Hills and the title track, the album has an unsatisfying number of fillers.

22 Acacia Avenue is one of the best songs in all of metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.. yeah right, its not even one of the best songs on that album

@EspaDa the title track is easily the worst song there

 

[HamburgerBoy]

afaic it solidified Maiden's "epic" style as much as if not more than Phantom of the Opera or Hallowed Be Thy Name did.

And you don't even listen to Iron Maiden brah

Is Number of the Beast the first Iron Maiden album?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

what in the world are you huffing on? glue? paint thinner?

And the funniest part is that's probably my least favorite Maiden album.

What about testicles?
