Controversial Metal Opinions

I just skip them. Same with the Necroticism intros, I just cut them out with Soundforge.

I don't mind the Necoticism ones at all. I think they add to the atmosphere.

[The Ancient Ones]

Bands that go overboard on intros annoy me. I find it takes away from the music even though I love a good intro. Mortician are terrible for over using them. I think Hacked Up For BBQ would be so much better without them.

It's weird. I find that Mortician's use of film intros is so utterly retarded that it somehow becomes good in some kind of ironic way. Long time since I checked out a gig of theirs on YouTube, but I'm pretty sure they also use them live...on every song! The 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' aura is also underpinned by the fucking massive guitarist playing a Strat which looks like a mandolin in comparison to his body size, and Will Rahmer, who's about five foot nothing, playing a huge bass and laying out the vocals which are so fucking deep, you can't actually even hear them on some gigs as they're too low for the PA!

So bad they're good!

The Deicide S/T is the greatest Death Metal album of all time bar none.

Next to impossible to separate debuts from Death, Deicide and Malevolent Creation when it comes to the greatest death metal album of all time. Many other albums worthy of the title I'm sure but these are what I keep returning to on what is now a three decade regular basis.

I find them very annoying, I think they ruin the flow of the album. Kept the first one as a separate track, it leads into the album nicely, but the rest went.

Remember when intros / instrumental tracks were all the rage during the 90s ? Was listening to Testimony Of The Ancients by Pestilence yesterday. I'm sure I loved them all at the time, but they went way overboard on that album !

yea, I agree there. I got in to this other band called Ressurection awhile back. They have an album called Embalmed Existence and it has the most annoying intros. Although, there is a version on YouTube with none. Have the vinyl and it has the intros unfortunately

Another one I cut the intros out of. He sounds like Krang from the '90s Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles cartoon.

The Ressurection has to be the worst ever

98 Live Meltdown > Unleashed In The East

98 Live Meltdown > Unleashed In The East

98 Live Meltdown is a great album, played the fuck out of it when it first came out.....Unleashed was always a bit overrated I think..

[Anton Arcane]

Priest...Live! obliterates it too. Unleashed in the East is one of those albums that was great for its time and if you were a young lad listening to heavy music in the late 70s, it probably would have blown your head off. But in the context of time and even by the standards JP had set over the following decade, it just doesn't live up to the hype.

But the album is fucking quality. One of the best Florida  DM albums.

True, I'd say the same about No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith.

Live In London is great too. The Ripper studio albums might have been subpar, but there's nothing wrong with those live ones.

[Trev]

Doomsday for the Deceiver is the best debut from any of the 80s thrash bands

[Carnage]

You spelled Game Over wrong.
