Controversial Metal Opinions

[Eoin McLove]

I actually just rooted out Reign in Blood.  Haven't listened to Slayar in years.

[Blackout]

Piece by piece is the best track on Reign in Blood.

The only one from the album they didn't play live  until they started doing the whole album as as encore years after

Reason being is no one plays the drums on it like lombardo. I've seen a good few vids of people attempting to cover it but they never nail the speed of the fills as much as Super Dave.  I wanted to play the drums so badly because of that album. Stupid poverty

Resurrecting this to point out that Messiah Marcolin sounds like Joe Dolan.

Not a bad thing of course.

[Eoin McLove]

  I can hear what you mean.

[Pentagrimes]

I don't know how I've never noticed it before. Big fan of both so obviously not a problem as I say, but I can't unhear it now.

[Eoin McLove]

Haha yeah, that's going to forever be in my head now. Thanks, fucker!

[Pentagrimes]

Bar a handful of songs,and while I understand  their importance, I really dont think Entombed  are much use.

[open face surgery]

LHP is great. Don't care about the rest.

[Pentagrimes]

I was blown away by LHP when it came out but over the years its definitely lost its appeal. The first Grave-which I thought was an Entombed clone at the time-I've grown to much prefer. I do quite like the Nihilist demos though,so go figure.

Left Hand Path is the best DM album to come out of Sweden for me. In keeping with the thread title however:

1. I don't rate Clandestine at all. Shit vocals, inferior/dry production and the songs aren't as good, bar one or two.

2. Wolverine Blues is far superior to Clandestine, different sound for sure but they did it so well. 5/5 album for me.

[Pentagrimes]

Side one of LHP is their best stuff. Side 2 is pretty dull. The "Crawl" 12" might be my favourite of theirs. Agreed on Clandestine, the production/vocals are absolute garbage. Lots of good ideas in the songwriting on paper but the actual end result just doesn't work. Why they didn't stick with the Nirvana 2002 guy is beyond me. Again,loved it when it came out but ..well,I was a lot easier to impress in 1991.

I fucking despise WB.

Think the Nirvana 2002 guy was only 17 when in Entombed for a short time and it wasn't really easy for him to tour.

Aaah right. Can't imagine they were that much older though?
