Ya should check out South Of Heaven too by Slayer, some fans actually like that a bit more than Seasons in the Abyss. But both still good albums.

Metallica............................rulez for ever.

Yes, alot of people tend to believe that way.
Deathdude: do you like "God Hates Us All", or are you another one of those "they changed too much, so that album sucks" people? |
Not really a lot, most of the hard core fans who have been with the band since they started have turned their backs on them for there attitude and music change, think unless they put out a stellar and I mean stellar record it'll be over for them.
Honestly I haven't heard that album main reason I'm not huge into Slayer, main reason, the general consensus though around lot of the metal boards though that I have read is that not a popular album among those circles, so I've read. |
I disagree with that concensus, "God Hates Us All" has more energy than other Slayer albums, and the songs just seem louder. Plus, the lyrics are better than the previous albums i've heard...

Personally I thought reign in blood had a lot of energy and same with south of heaven and seasons in the abyss, heard a bit of the new album christ illusion and really Tom has lost his voice and not as good as he used to be, Kerry still using the same solos he has been for the last 20 years, but Dave being back has helped them.
But looking forward to Iron Maiden's new album the 29th can't wait, will be awesome. :brain: |
Yeah, I heard a preview of a song off CI on MTV...it sucked.

I like metal a lot !
I'm mostly into doom metal though, especially stuff like early Anathema, early Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride (my #1 favourite of all time :) ). And a lot of the classic stuff too, Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Count Raven and Sleep. Sunn O))) is also great, but they being metal, or even music, is a bit questionable. :P While I'm at it at the noisy stuff I might as well mention Khanate and Burning Witch. I listen to a some black metal too. Mostly old stuff, like early Ulver, Darkthrone, Ved Buens Ende (brilliant experimental stuff), Satyricon (the old stuff is as brilliant as the new the new stuff is the final proof that they have become total cocksmokers... :wallbash: ) and Mayhem (Freezing mooooooooooon !!! :titan: Damn good Attilla is back. ). As for deathmetal I like a lot of overly technical stuff (something I in most other genres can't stand :P ). Atheist (something inbetween prog and death), Mithras, Suffocation, Nile, Death and Origin are among the favourites. I HATE that so called "new metal". Slipknot has made so many ignorant, stupid kids that think they know what metal is. Korn was good on their first album but 98% of the other numetal stuff sucks in a way that there are no words to describe... The funny thing about most of those bands is that they can't play live at all. :P I've seen several live videos that proves that and even saw Slipknot live on a festival once. Bands that can only play well in a studio where they can stitch their songs together from an abnormal lot of takes earn no respect from me... :not_ok: Since many others post youtube links I figured I might post some ( a lot :P ) myself: My Dying Bride - The Songless Bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMfcSeUdUk My Dying Bride - I Am The Bloody Earth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWoKMO7067c My Dying Bride - Cry Of Mankind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGV1VaIZ7Mk My Dying Bride - For You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMfcSeUdUk Anathema - Sweet Tears (this is the good old stuff, the new stuff is just shite) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24DhCviMKqE Virgin Black - Our Wings Are Burning (Great Australian doom band) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKfJ-w5H0o Sunn O))) - Live (a bit bad sound but it doesn't matter anyway, to get the full experience of these guys you would HAVE to be there) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xq9S9UY-I0 Khanate - Pieces Of Quiet ( Live ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD4EGN2MQjk...ted&search= Origin - Portal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbETbs8YvNY Nile - Sarcophagus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCjwCSlcCOA edit: a couple more links :) Psycroptic - Lacertine Forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAkkWF23Wfs Psycroptic - The Scepter Of Jaar-Gilon ( This one is so damn good. I never get tired of it... ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8GX6jyu-OU...ted&search= |

The thing is stuff like nu-metal, isn't metal at all. It has more elements into rock and chord progression especially and is far from metal to begin with. There are some excessive genres out there, but really there has to be some differeniation, especially when you get bands like System Of A Down and people saying they are metal, which they clearly aren't. So in some cases there has to be some distinctions, otherwise you start comparing a band like Dream Theater who are progressive with a band like Judas Priest.
