Controversial Metal Opinions

[ldj]

Anvil have always been shite.

[Cryptic Stench]

That's not controversial that's just fact...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Rust In Peace is the best album by any of the Big 4.

[Born of Fire]

Doom is immensely boring bollocks. Listen to some cunt play the same riff for half an hour, awful stuff

I always associated doom with My dying bride and Anathema yeats back,but doom seems to be something entirely different by the sounds of it.
Procession from Chile are considered a doom metal band (i think),they are great.But take Bell Witch, who are also considered a doom metal band,such utter shite.As you said, immensrly boring half hour long nothingness!.

Im still not sure  what doom is,but most of it is a hard listen to these ears anyway.

I think the problem with picture discs is that they are supposed to age poorly.  I have a small number and the sound is fine on them.  My only problem with them is that you can't enjoy the artwork or read the song titles while listening to them.

FACT

The comeback albums from Exodus (Tempo of the Damned), Death Angel (Art of Dying) and Forbidden (Omega Wave) are better than any of their previous releases

While I don't agree personally I don't think this is a controversial opinion.

I'd probably agree on Exodus and Forbidden, but Act III is in my all-time classic list and cannot be defeated. Art of Dying is a belter though, probably their second best for me.


The more of an influence Mike Patton had, the worse FNM became.

[Pedrito]

I'm beginning to think that 80's Rush was them at their best.

Just read this..agreed!

That's an interesting one. KFAD is my favourite FNM album so I can't really agree there. It's also the first one I got into though so that is probably a lot to do with that. I think he did his very best to ruin The Real Thing with those awful vocals to be fair, so you do have a bit of a point. If he had done his later style on that it would be some unreal album but every time it's on the nasally vocals really put me right off at the same time as loving the music. I wonder how much he had to do with Sol Invictus, which I thought was great at first but now have no desire to listen to.

[Eoin McLove]

I think The Real Thing is their best album.  I live his nasal vocals on it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I don't know what my favourite FNM album is anymore. It was KFAD at some point, for a long time, but now I couldn't pick a favourite tbh. The Real Thing is a monumental listen, nasally vocals and all!

[Carnage]

Sol Invictus definitely sounds like a Patton album as opposed to a FNM album, I can't abide it - or the vast majority of Patton's other material (I loved the Peeping Tom album at the time but it hasn't aged well).

KFAD is my least favourite of the pre-split FNM/Patton albums, the flat production has a lot to do with that but there's a hefty amount of filler there too. While Angel Dust and The Real Thing are definitely their best work, I've played them to death and so AOTY is my go-to FNM album these days. The production's a but odd on that one as well but the tunes are cracking for the most part and it's got some of Patton's best vocal work.
