Why is the metalness of Black Sabbath questioned but not 80s Priest or Dio?

Cross Purposes is shit-tier

You take that back

I Witness - 3.5/5
Cross of Thorns - 3.5/5
Cloak And Dagger - 3/5 (bonus track, bluesy with a Thin Lizzy shuffle, apparently a Headless Cross leftover, makes sense)
Loser Gets It All - 3/5 (bonus track, Forbidden leftover? groove riff should hurt it but doesn't because there's a nice apprehensive feeling over it, song ends abruptly and feels incomplete but still a lot of potential)
Dying For Love - 2.5/5 (half-ballad thing)
Virtual Death - 2/5 (doomy song, would be better if not for some blatant recycling)
Immaculate Deception - 2/5
Back To Eden - 2/5 (good chorus, lame everything else)
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - 2/5 (Back to Eden, sans good chorus, but with a good bridge)
Psychophobia - 2/5
What's the Use - 1.5/5 (bonus track, the vocal melody is basically note-for-note something circa Dio period, lighter speedier riff)
Cardinal Sin - 1.5/5 (Kashmir meets Dio Sabbath, tries way too hard)
Evil Eye - 0.5/5 (dumb basic groove, longest song too)

just like Ozz's taste in music.

 

[The Ozzman]

You think Obscura is one of the best death metal albums ever. Please go away.

it's not knuckle-dragger music so i'm not surprised that you don't enjoy it. That album is too much for someone like you.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

He thinks Obscura is a death metal album at all.

says the guy who's beyond delusional when it comes to metal subgenres.

Last time Ozzman shat on Obscura he said he was trolling and I'm terrible at telling the difference between trolling and genuine posts. Just ignore him.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Just ignore him.

Where's the fun in that?

 

[The Ozzman]

Exactly. It's why I'm trolling 90% of the time.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Imagine disliking Obscura ironically but hating Painkiller genuinely. Shit taste.

 

[CiG]

Very in-crowdesque.

 

[CiG]

Btw, why is Obscura not a death metal album?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Because it's technical nu metal, this is a well-established fact on this forum.

 

[The Ozzman]

I don't hate Painkiller. I spin it occasionally but I would literally listen to almost every other Priest album before Painkiller.

Potentially more offensive than just outright hating it.

Because it's technical nu metal, this is a well-established fact on this forum.

Why is it nu-metal though?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You'd have to ask Luc. I'd guess he was listening to Korn and obscure Mudvayne demos.

 

[The Ozzman]

 

[CiG]

Mudvayne formed in 1996, Korn formed in 1993, Obscura was written and finished by December 1993.

I'm pretty sure you were lying anyway. There's just no way a simpleton like you can digest an album like Obscura.

Mudvayne formed in 1996, Korn formed in 1993, Obscura was written and finished by December 1993.

he's unintentionally trolling you and you just keep feeding him, lol.
