Post some good (((zionist))) music goy
first for starter packs
is Cosmos an actually good book or is it pop-science trash
i've been thinking about picking it up from the library
I honestly have no idea. Just go ask /sci/, I'm sure they'll tell you.
Flood is one of the great contemporary albums. Just shrugging it off as Sup Forumscore trash is making a mistake.
Again, I don't think that Boris is some sort of GOAT metal group. Flood just turned out very very very well due to a tight thematic focus and excellent and creative production. No other Boris album comes even close to it.
>sodom
yeah, stopped reading there
hehe, poop
my listening last week
there are like 3 "riffs" on the entire album and the heavy section lasts for about 5 minutes. however good you think it is, it's a lot closer to post-rock than metal so saying it was some sort of blessing to the genre is silly
anyway i like it but the extended lp version of pink is my favourite boris. you should check out isis - panopticon if you haven't already

>some of the precussion is nice
>album wrapped up nicely and had a good flow
-
>extremely generic production
>fails to be unique or innovative enough
I expected it to be worse, but the above-average genre album isn't better than Flood.
everyone and their mother has listened to Flood here, and shitposting in /metal/ to show off your "special snowflake" taste thinking you know shit better than everyone else is futile and makes you look like a fool 2bh senpai
>Prowler
>generic production
>not unique
can you please expand on this?
Guys im making a yacht metal chart this weekend and I need you to find me some albums
>t's a lot closer to post-rock than metal
Yeah that's what makes it good
>it's popular, therefore it's bad
>it's popular, therefore it's bad
do you have reading issues? I literally didn't even implied that anywhere
goddamn Sup Forums tourists are the worst
Boris: not fast
Pig Destroyer: fast
Boris: not good
Pig Destroyer: good
>prominent, loud guitar
>confined and fairly flat soundscape (this isn't always a bad thing)
>grand, echoy vocals
The precussion was interesting at parts and the final third of the album had some interesting drone-y and experimental parts, but it sounded like a slightly more dirty Metallica otherwise.
>extremely generic production
>fails to be unique or innovative enough
how would you know, given that you don't listen to metal? i wonder how many deathgrind albums you've heard which are similar to prowler in the yard, which also predate prowler in the yard? and what would you consider "innovative enough"?
and these are really your biggest complaints? in that case it would seem like you're listening to metal for the wrong reasons
if you admit it's a lot closer to post rock than metal then why are you trying to use it as some kind of a standard to judge metal albums?
>but it sounded like a slightly more dirty Metallica otherwise
>but it sounded like a slightly more dirty Metallica otherwise.
Flood is shit, mate. Repeating the same guitar loop for 15 minutes isn't good, it's just dull.
> it sounded like a slightly more dirty Metallica otherwise
Production wise, not stylistically
>how would you know, given that you don't listen to metal?
I listen to some metal every now and then.
> i wonder how many deathgrind albums you've heard which are similar to prowler in the yard
Chainsaw Dismemberment is probably the closest thing to it I've listened.
>and what would you consider "innovative enough"?
If it was interesting or experimental in a way that advanced the genre.
>he needs his hand held by catchy chords
>they want something that's inventive while being actually metal
>they don't listen to Blacklodge
>he needs his hand held by catchy chords
No, I want actual musical substance and creativity, not a lazy hack job like Flood.
>>he needs his hand held by catchy chords
go to bed Bull of Heaven
>"innovative enough"?
I'm one song into the Red Sky and it's already doing more interesting things with the genre.
Listen to it again, but louder. Flood doesn't even really need that big of an attention span to appreciate. My four year old daughter picked up on the themes of Flood I, I'm sure you can do it too if you try.
new album when
any metal with intellectual lyrics? something that deals with political, social, philosophical, religious and racial issues?
Tankard, Destruction
...
>he thinks metalfags don't listen to shit on top volume
lmao are you for real nigga
>what is Anal Cunt
>what is literally all nsbm
which one will reinforce my existing beliefs?
>four year old is able to appreciate album
>this is somehow an argument in favour of the innovative power of said album
anyway innovation is a poor benchmark to use as an indicator of quality. motorhead released the same album for 40 years and i enjoyed more than one of them. if all you're interested in is innovation then you miss out on great bands who refine existing formulas without innovating or being wildly unique
protector
You're right, it doesn't need an attention span to appreciate because it takes 10+ minutes to make any meaningful progressions. It's boring.
The largest problem is that some of the science is out of date.
That doesn't make it any less of a good read, unless you'll notice that stuff.
Well?
how long until "I'm 99 and my taste is fucking superior"
pseudo-immortality will turn life into an obscene nightmare
i've been running out of ways to make fun of myself since about 23 so it will probably be a stretch
> Glam Metal but it's too aggressive for me.
I listen to glam because it's less agressive than what is norammly considered metal nowadays
Can't you guys at least make these funny?
Post normie filters.
whoever's spending this much time doing this should start doing non-meme charts
>>four year old is able to appreciate album
>>this is somehow an argument in favour of the innovative power of said album
I mean, there are people like who are probably missing all the actual content of the album except for the transitional parts. Instead of engaging with the theme, they grasp it, think they've understood it and then stay waiting for the next idea.
Some innovation is required to make great art. Extreme refinement and can be an innovation as well, just look at Dylan. Artists can also grow old and just get stale. Also look at Dylan. I don't think anyone would consider Motörhead some sort of GOAT band. They're good for some lighthearted enjoyment, but I don't think any idea can be interesting for 40 albums.
This is not to say that metal is somehow a bad. Pretty much every genre is 95% terrible.
>324
fukken nice
first time i see the mentioned i think
it is funny dweeb
this is a good one - if you enjoy any suffocation releases after this one, you basically out yourself as a normie
>I don't think anyone would consider Motörhead some sort of GOAT band.
you'd be goddamn wrong
they're kind of a one trick pony but still their sound pleased a lot of people

This makes no sense lmao
Some people also think that AC/DC has musical merit. Nobody with broad and varied musical taste thinks that Motörhead is some sort of pinnacle of music.
>Geddy Lee

>Nobody with broad and varied musical taste thinks that Motörhead is some sort of pinnacle of music.
Yet a lot of people show appreciation for them, whether they have a solid musical background or not
You seem to judge the quality of the music solely on innovation, which is a mistake in itself, music doesn't have to be original to sound good, and music isn't automatically good as long as what is played has never been done before
Apart from that, you may have forgotten one important factor which is the timeline in which motorhead started making music
name one single band before them that had this typical heavy, grunting sound they have.
What does /metal/ think of In Flames?
to say overkill was innovative would be a pretty big understatement
metul as fuck
Used to be brety gud, now they're not even a metal band anymore
i thought motorhead was the first speed metal band
Egypt on Sup Forums wow wee
>put legitimately good albums on a chart
>haha pranked u /metal/ xD
I've tried to get into black metal multiple limes but it just too boring
I tried this album but sounded like just one big riff and nothing else
>Instead of engaging with the theme, they grasp it, think they've understood it and then stay waiting for the next idea.
Engaging with a theme that has no depth or underlying value to reveal is boring.
listen to Burzum, they're way better
Give me some double bass that will cave my head in
what genres do you like
listen to it again
mostly trad, glam and power
DEMOLITION HAMMER
check out the first 2 dissection albums
yes, that is the joke
listen to it again
then listen to burzum - hvis lyset tar oss and darkthrone - transilvanian hunger until you like all 3 of them
i believe it was a meme for a couple threads to make those "my taste is fucking superior" charts with just whatever albums people mentioned it in the thread
> Be into slam
> Most slam sounds like this
You're all faggots, you faggots.
Not sure if false or ultimate nu-male filter.
>Yet a lot of people show appreciation for them, whether they have a solid musical background or not
Popularity=!Merit
>You seem to judge the quality of the music solely on innovation,
Wrong. I don't even think Flood was that innovative, they're exactly what you're describing - they took a pretty established sound and added a strong thematic focus.
I mean, novelty is important, but it's not the end-all-be-all. I enjoy some fairly derivative albums as well and consider them great.
>Apart from that, you may have forgotten one important factor which is the timeline in which motorhead started making music
Influential album=!Automatically good
I don't doubt they were very important to metal 's development in the beginning, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't try to change their sound over time or at least try new and interesting things.
>melodeath
>I don't understand it, therefore everyone else that likes it is pretending
That's some advanced insecurity right there.
>2017
>listening to subgenres
I just turned into a nu-male, thanks
Give me 1 (ONE) reason why melodeath is bad
>protip; you can't
Biggest sellout since Metallica
t. DMU shitter
commercial verse-chorus crap with metalcore riffs
cheers dude
>but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't try to change their sound over time or at least try new and interesting things.
I think this really depends on the mindset of the artist
Lemmy and the guys never claimed their music as high art, but they obviously loved making music, and that's part of the charm surrounding them.
>darkthrone - transilvanian hunger
great album but shit starter
A Blaze in The Northern Sky is their best for black metal newbs
Why don't you explain why Flood is good instead of strawmanning like a faggot?
+
>Good use of genre roots through folk instruments
>Sharp precussion
>Varied guitar compositions
>Some of the vocal parts
>Much more interesting production
-
>Somewhat uncohesive as a whole, lots of scattered ideas that aren't realized fully
>Some of the tempo swaps felt schizophrenic
>Some of the vocal parts
It's pretty good, I don't think it's better than Flood, but it's not embarassing generic genreshit like that other album.
Sure, but I'd say that makes them enjoyable, not good.
Its so fucking true it hurts
In Flames used to be my favorite band, I fucking loved their old albums (still do, especially Colony) but ever since Sounds of a Playground Fading came out, they went to shit. SOPGF is bearable to a certain degree, but its not as good as their older albums.
It hurts so fucking much
Meh, that's not much of a difference in my book
to each his own i guess
Delete this
Bretty gud through Soundtrack to Your Escape.
Then the selling out became too obvious.
Fellow Trad/Power fan here, the only black metal I enjoy is Ulver's debut, it's very melodic and beautiful.
Judas Iscariot
I think we both enjoy McDonalds (or any other fast food place of choice), but that doesn't make them good food. Just easy, fast and not very challenging.
There's just a ton of attention to detail in pretty much every moment, and all that detail works to reinforce the one central theme of the album. That's probably the strongest side of the album. Figuring out how it all fits together is part of the fun user.
I don't know half of the records but k
