Worst metal albums of all time

[firewindraging]

slipknot has never heard the old saying: too many cooks spoil the broth.

 

[Horus]

Or even, the members of Slipknot that aren't Corey Taylor or Joey Jorrdison (did I even spell it right?) have probably never heard the saying "A little talent never hurt."

 

[Tubbs]

I've heard somewhere that one of the guitarists in that band is really interested in neo-classical stuff. Of course, his crappy stupid band is in the way of him being talented.

P.S. I don't even consider Corey Taylor talented.

Shrapnel had some awesome shit

Racer X
Jason Becker
Henry Lee Firkins
Richie Kotzen
Ron Thal
Greg Howe

all quality

Don't forget....

Cacophony
Marty Friedman
Tony Macalpine
Jens Johansson
Allan Holdsworth

 

[Yngvai X]

Don't forget....

Cacophony
Marty Friedman
Tony Macalpine
Jens Johansson
Allan Holdsworth

Holdsworth might have been on some shrapnel releases but he was never a "shrpanel guy" (and to say so is even more outlandish than considering Bumblefoot one).

Also, Johansson's albums were only licensed to Shrpanel for US release, they're normally released on his own Heptagon records (which have much better album covers too!).

Ayreon - The Universal Migrator Part I

...closely followed by all the other Ayreon albums and Star One. Yes I've heard all of them, and yes I love progressive metal.

That's right, I don't like Ayreon. I dislike all the albums pretty much equally, but especially universal migrator part 1 because of its ludicrous intro. The worst part is that it's not even all bad in fact some bits are legendary, but Lucassen seems to mix inspired genius with terrible, terrible mistakes. I don't care how many big names you get to perform, that doesn't make it good.

I love Stream of Passion and Ambeon is very good too.

 

[Horus]

I'm sorry, but I have something to say to you:

DIE.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Preferring Stream Of Passion to ALL of Ayreon is just... wrong.

 

[theVikingR]

Although I make no apology for my preference, I don't think I've ever met anyone else who has heard but not liked Ayreon

 

[Beelzebub]

I don't think I've ever met anyone else who has heard but not liked Ayreon

I have two friends who are in the same boat as you, however one of them doesn't really care much for progressive metal at all.

[Tubbs]

DOESN'T LIKE AYREON!?!?!? This is quite the blasphemy!

 

[Androz]

From Ayreon I have The Human Equation, Into the Electric Castle and The Universal Migrator being TUM the weakest of them

 

[DoomsdayZach]

I always thought into the electric castle was fairly abysmal. I actually agree... ayreon is very hit or miss, though hardly terrible IMO. But i agree, though there are moments that are godly (day 20 on human equation never fails to bring tears to my eyes), there are also plenty of WTF moments.

 

[Tubbs]

I guess Ayreon is a "Hate them or love them" type experiment. (It's not really a "band"). That kinda sucks if you ask me, it's an incredible project.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Tubbs, i'd say not so much ayreon the band is like that, but more each album. again, i love migrator pt 2, hate into the electric castle, love (for the most part) human equation... he is so diverse from album to album that for me it's hard to say i like the band. It's more which albums i like.

 

[Tubbs]

I dunno, the first time I listened to them I couldn't stand them. Same for the second time. After the third, I finally got into Ayreon, and now I like all of the albums. Also, Actual Fantasy is one of my favorites, which probably isn't too common.
