    Why COF are hated: When the band first came out, they were marketed as black metal. I don't know if the members of the band said they were BM, or if it was just marketing. So basically, BM was starting to get big in the 90's with bands like Mayhem, Immortal, Darkthrone, etc., and suddenly every 6th grader is wearing a COF shirt and saying they love BM, without even knowing what real BM is. As I said, I don't know if the band is responsible for this or not, but they caught a hell of a lot of resentment for it.

     

    As for the music, I liked the debut, the Dark Fairytales E.P., and Dusk. I felt Cruelty was a step down in quality, with the songs more simplistic and same sounding. I found these traits magnified on Midian, and stopped listening. Is there any album I should check out that sounds more like the earlier material?

    Well thats the thing you see. I'm always so put off by the general dislike of them that I've only listened to a few of their more famous songs.  I'll check out the albums you listed, thanks :)

    Would say I saw them on tour during there golden age but I was born same year as number of the beast so did not make it

    Whereas I'm definitely old enough. I've seen them a few times, the highlight being the Powerslave tour :)

  3. Evil Scarecrow == Good use of humour.

    Tenacious D == Bad use of humour

    Why? I think (and this is obviously just my opinion) groups like Evil Scarecrow genuinely love metal but can also burst the bubble of pomposity that sometimes surround it.

    Tenacious D on the other hand just seem to take the piss out of metal.

    Ergo, humour coming from a good place is healthy. Taking the piss for the sake of it is just annoying.
