I guess Carcass fans would say Swansong.
unfortunately swansong is totally fun as hell

what was that Cryptopsy album that had long time fans jumping off bridges?
the unspoken king, which i've listened to but can't remember a thing about other than it was a complete dive into metalcore

ayo sound of white noise is fucking awesome
Chinese Democracy has maybe 2 slightly listenable songs.
Which two? Are they bonus tracks only on your copy?

Better & Street Of Dreams, iirc
sound of white noise is the only anthrax album i like!

i think i tried to make myself like this album. i think i even managed to say nice things about it in a review. but prison does strange things to a man...

^^ oh, that wasn't such a bad album. probably still a thousand times worse than "the storm of the light's bane", which is y'know incredible, but what can you do?
― charlie h, Saturday, 2 June 2012 02:21 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i didn't hate it. but i never play it. i was trying to think of recent things...i don't hate too many things. or i don't listen to things that i think i'll hate.

there must be something you hate by a band you love
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 2 June 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
more than anything i'll end up hating the production of metal from the last ten years. in the red wall of screeeee that makes me want to rip my ears off. and definitely make me never want to play the album again. which is sad. there is nothing i hate more about modern music than not being able to turn a cd up LOUD without massive distortion. and not the good kind of distortion. whoever "remastered" reign in blood and south of heaven should be shot and then hanged and then boiled and then thrown out a window and then run over with a truck and then thrown in the dump and then picked apart by birds and then the regurgitated bird pieces should be put in a blender and made into smoothies and then drunk by the record label execs who let those CDs be put out and bought by the public.

i feel the same with that drum trigger typewriter-core nonsense

also scott has been watching too much Itchy & Scratchy
but a band i LOVE. a metal band? i was kinda disappointed by point of entry when it came out. i dunno, i'm kinda picky about what i buy. most of the bands i like never put out anything that bad. i never listened to anthrax past among the living. i usually wasn't around for the inevitable decline of most bands. its not like i was gonna keep buying overkill and exodus albums my entire life.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
i think it happened with me more with punk/hardcore. still kinda can't forgive 7 seconds for new wind. anyone ever hear the kevin seconds band Acid? grunge band. oh man so terrible. t.s.o.l. they did it. discharge. though i would probably dig discharge metal more now than i did then. youth brigade when they changed their name to brigade. oof, that is tough stuff to listen to.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
i was the punk fan in the 80's who had NO problem whatsover with the metal moves. i applauded. for the most part. but some bands should have just broken up. those channel 3 records where they play like bad hard rock. what the hell were those things. airborne! what a terrible record.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
i really like the last Blitz album though. controversial opinion! its sounds like the cult. and sometimes like the jesus & mary chain or some other goth band. came out in 1989. its for goth skinheads. there must be a couple.

did any punk bands go the hair metal or aor route?i dont mean that Jean Beauvoir guy who formed Crown of Thorns. I mean actually kept the same band name but made hair metal/aor?
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
t.s.o.l. tried.

a former member of minor threat gave it a shot.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:08 (eleven years ago) link
t.s.o.l. were always kinda the odd man out anyway cuz they courted the goth/cali horror rock crowd early on.

― Whiney vs. (BradNelson), Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:16 (eleven years ago) link
it never ruled for me. i'm still just trying to think of records i HATED by bands i loved. if the best i can come up with is 7 seconds...and i never actually loved 7 seconds. but i enjoyed their early work.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
i did love that youth brigade album sooooooo much back whenever that came out. still one of my favorite albums of all time.

serpent saints by entombed i thought was really bad except for the title track. but how much do i expect from them at this late date anyway? not a whole helluva lot. moonspell have put out some clunkers. i like their early records a bunch. they are one of those bands constantly doing the "return to form" thing with every album. on the other hand, i really liked that sepultura Dante XXI album WAY more than i thought i would ever like a sepultura album in the 21st century. i never even thought i'd be playing a sepultura album in the 21st century.

― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link
i liked kid a when it came out. probably the only radiohead album i've ever played all the way through. they never did anything better than "creep" anyway. a little of that dude's voice goes a long long long way.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 18:29 (eleven years ago) link
Dante XXI was really surprisingly good. And everyone shitting on Chinese Democracy upthread can lick the bag.
My nominee for this thread is Gorguts' Obscura. Man, I do not get that record at all. I like death metal, I like noisy free jazz, and I like prog, but when you swirl 'em all together sometimes you just get a big puddle of runny musical shit, and that's Obscura.

no way, it's cool. its ilx canon too. even the non-metal people love it. for all the reasons you stated. except for the shit part. i like all their albums a bunch.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 June 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
yeah ive seen lots of ilxors go crazy over that album.

feel like Everything Sucks is p well-regarded in the core of the band's fanbase, the one after that maybe not so much
― cissémanwhore (DJ Mencap), Sunday, 3 June 2012 07:45 (eleven years ago) link
I quite like New Wind tbh. Was all ready to hate it the first time I listened to it but I don't see it as sounding a whole lot different from the album before it. Now the albums after it aren't up to much and I have never listened to any other Kevin Seconds bands. They're playing London on my birthday this year.
