Didn't that cease to be daring by about the 16th Century?

Oh yes! Fields of the Nephilim. I love them too. What a great drummer. Love "Phobia"

I really enjoy them, but I often think their drummer's the best musician in the band. I can't get into McCoy's solo stuff at all.

ok here goes nothing. I find Blind Guardian, and Motorhead to be slightly overrated. Most black metal sucks. I find Tobias Sammet's vocals to be highly annoying.

I disagree with your first point, but I could see someone thinking that if they didn't like the music from those two bands, as they are highly praised. Not sure how you could emphatically state that "black metal sucks" though, at least make sure to give more than the mainstream bands a chance before you throw that out there. Edguy symbolizes everything that is wrong with European power metal to me, so I can't disagree with your last point. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Apolyatica where you guys consider. Them metal

[deathstorm]

Yeah true. Edguy also some stupiest album covers. I actully. Like King of fools

And the black metal bands I like are Dimmu Borgir, Naglfar, Watain, Dark Funeral, Marduk and a few more.

Be sure to check out Dawn, Sacramentum, Necrophobic, Mörk Gryning, Arckanum, Dissection, Svartsyn, newer Immortal, Unanimated, Ondskapt, Merrimack, Lunar Aurora, etc... for more along similar lines.

Jugulator is my Fave Priest album along with Defenders Of The Faith. Tim Owens fucking rules.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Hardly a controversial opinion Davey.

Hmm, why not? So many people would shout at me saying "oh my god how could you like that album it's not true priest", or something like that.

And gradually over time, it has become my favourite priest album, I love Rob, but I often prefer the underrated albums, e.g. Headless Cross and Born Again by Sabbath, Tim Owens is just a fantastic Vocalist, and he really shines on Jugulator (he is still very good on Demolition but the album isn't as good).

[RelentlessOblivion]

It speaks to personal preference, not opinion. that's why it's not controversial Davey boy.

In The Nightside Eclipse is inferior to Anthems and Prometheus.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Not yet managed to get into Emperor. Imho they are among the most over-rated black metal bands out there.

In The Nightside Eclipse is horribly overrated. Give Prometheus a spin, it might turn out to be entirely different from what you had expected.

[MacabreEternal]

So much wrong in this statement. I like Prometheus and Anthems - although I agree with BAN that Anthems is the weakest by far of the 3 in discussion - but Eclipse is great. There is something very significant and tangible going on throughout the whole album which often doesn't shine in most BM albums,

[BlutAusNerd]

If we're talking about all albums' date=' Equilibrium would be my least favorite album. I like Eclipse and it's true that ItNE succeeds in sustaining the mood it tries to awake. I also can't argue on the fact Eclipse is more solid when looking at how the album progresses, but Anthems keeps swinging me from one direction to another and this constantly recaptures my attention without having even lost it in the first place. There are some quite poorly integrated elements on Anthems, but I can't say they bother me to the point they really become a nuisance. Prometheus is quite hard to compare with the other Emperor albums. It seems sufficient enough to say I simply prefer the execution of the style on Prometheus over the other albums.[/quote'] Prometheus is unfairly shit on by the supposed "black metal elite" for going progressive and using a ton of different elements, and it does show the end of Emperor and the start of Ihsahn's solo career, but it's not as though that's a bad thing. Equilibrium was the last true Emperor album, and was their most ambitious at the time, more seamlessly integrating the newer elements that were introduced on Anthems, but the riffs and atmosphere on ItNE are the best of their career IMO.
