What do you think of Stu Block moving to Iced Earth? My opinion on Iced Earth in general is that after the first two or three albums they've been pretty uninteresting with the occasional decent song thrown in and so I don't really care about any line up changes they undergo now because it's not like I'll listen to them unless they come here on tour and there's a band that doesn't suck opening for them (or they're opening for a good band, but that's less likely). Alright, Into Eternity. The soft beginning isn't all that bad, but once that ends I feel like this was deliberately intended to annoy me and only me. According to metal-archives these guys originate from Saskatchewan. And yeah, I'm one of the 81 people on the planet who can spell that name correctly on the first try every time. Suck it. Oh, the point. Yeah I think this is some elaborate inter-provincial warfare, and regardless its even more reason to mock Saskatchewan. Flat, boring province that produces crappy music.

And like I said, zero is pretty damn hard to get, I don't even have a clear idea for how bad a song would have to be to score a 0/10. Maybe if it literally caused physical pain, but then the production job on Ulver's Nattens Madrigal album gives me a headache sometimes and I'd not rate it too low, so even that may not suffice! -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. <cite>Panthera posted [p:964860] in The return...

There's a riff showing up a few times here that seems kind of good, but too much of this gets into standard deathcore territory and ends up being pretty crappy, plus the vocal style is not really fitting, it's kind of hard to pull off multiple types of death metal vocals in a single song well and this is not a good example of it, in addition to the fact that the whole pig squeal thing is pretty terrible. BREEE BREEEE. So exciting! This is getting worse as it goes, as the riffs get worse and worse and the guitar work in general starts to feel almost like it's trying to be lame tech death. In the end, it kind of sucks and gives me a vague urge to go brush my teeth.

As a general rule, I dislike repeated little vocal interjections like that unless it's the drawn out "ohhhhOOHHHHHohhh" style that changes in pitch a bit (see: Christian Mistress - Possession), and wow typing out that particular sound looks awful, doesn't it? One off ones are okay (like the "oh oh yeah" to kick off Maiden's Phantom of the Opera), it's only the repetition that really makes it sound silly. From: X_Lysol_X \| #272 Didn't know which Ayreon song to go with, so I went with you probably hate them all anyways >_> Also not trying to start any arguments, but System of a Down is a GREAT band. Yeah I dislike most Ayreon now, used to be a big fan though. There's a couple songs on this album that I like or at least don't mind and one features a really cool section by a female vocalist whose name continuously alludes me (I think it's vaguely German? I could probably just look up the line up for 01011001 but that would spoil the fun). This isn't really one of them, although it's pretty inoffensive, at least for the first two and a half minutes; it kind of goes a bit downhill at that point, though not too far. It's the standard Arjen Lucassen problem, he can pull together a ton of talented people, especially vocalists, but then ends up using them mostly on really cheesy attempts at being epic. Huh, is that Hansi Kurch? I forgot he was on this album. Considering this album was basically the culmination of half a dozen concepts albums worth of zany alien time travel plot shenanigans, it kind of needed to be a lot stronger to do justice to whatever legacy it was hoping to fulfill. Oh yeah, this song in particular. It's listenable. 4/10 As for System of a Down, based on my experience of that one song they're one of the assiest things in the universe <_< From: LolMyAlt \| #274 posts classic Megadeth song Megadeth - Peace Sells Shifting from Ayreon to Megadeth is quite the change! I believe I've already given my thoughts on this album in general ("it's very good"), although I'll point out here that I find this track a tad on the weaker side; it's a bit too repetitive early on and the main riff isn't really forceful enough to carry it off. It still sounds okay, especially since you've got some nice guitar leads thrown in, but it doesn't truly take off until the second half of the song really ramps the energy level up. 7/10 From: VeryInsane \| #275 I lied. Takes another pitch You are now tantalizingly close to achieving your goal <_< And will be closer still by the end of this write up, I imagine. I quite like Suffocation but I much prefer their earlier material (wow, a death metal band whose early works are their best? What a shock!). This isn't bad, but it just doesn't really have the same intensity or quality, and also I feel like Frank Mullen's vocals were at their best on Effigy, which is my favourite of their albums. Almost at the character limit so let's end it here by saying "I like it". 6.5/10 -- We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny <cite>Panthera posted [p:964873] in The return...

There's a couple songs on this album that I like or at least don't mind and one features a really cool section by a female vocalist whose name continuously alludes me (I think it's vaguely German? I could probably just look up the line up for 01011001 but that would spoil the fun). This isn't really one of them, although it's pretty inoffensive, at least for the first two and a half minutes; it kind of goes a bit downhill at that point, though not too far. It's the standard Arjen Lucassen problem, he can pull together a ton of talented people, especially vocalists, but then ends up using them mostly on really cheesy attempts at being epic. Huh, is that Hansi Kurch? I forgot he was on this album. Considering this album was basically the culmination of half a dozen concepts albums worth of zany alien time travel plot shenanigans, it kind of needed to be a lot stronger to do justice to whatever legacy it was hoping to fulfill. Oh yeah, this song in particular. It's listenable.4/10As for System of a Down, based on my experience of that one song they're one of the assiest things in the universe <_<From: LolMyAlt \| #274posts classic Megadeth songMegadeth - Peace SellsShifting from Ayreon to Megadeth is quite the change! I believe I've already given my thoughts on this album in general ("it's very good"), although I'll point out here that I find this track a tad on the weaker side; it's a bit too repetitive early on and the main riff isn't really forceful enough to carry it off. It still sounds okay, especially since you've got some nice guitar leads thrown in, but it doesn't truly take off until the second half of the song really ramps the energy level up. 7/10From: VeryInsane \| #275I lied.Takes another pitchYou are now tantalizingly close to achieving your goal <_< And will be closer still by the end of this write up, I imagine.I quite like Suffocation but I much prefer their earlier material (wow, a death metal band whose early works are their best? What a shock!). This isn't bad, but it just doesn't really have the same intensity or quality, and also I feel like Frank Mullen's vocals were at their best on Effigy, which is my favourite of their albums. Almost at the character limit so let's end it here by saying "I like it".6.5/10 -- We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is way too weak for something that sounds like it's trying to be angry and man these vocals are painfully bad. Why is there a law dictating that thrash bands are not allowed to remain good their whole careers? 3/10 From: supdawg222 \| #278 Omnium gatherum - Chameleon Skin Hey it's really cheesy melodic death metal, the kind that makes you think someone listened to a bit too much Arsis (and I don't even like A Celebration of Guilt all that much) and then thought it needed some "progressive" elements, and by progressive I mean the exact same stuff all the other crappy bands do. Also, these vocals suck. Sounds like the guy is struggling to get them out, they're somewhere between an actual death metal growl and just a gruff shout. It's really damn rare for me to really be this annoyed at harsh vocals unless they're pig squeals or excessive high pitched stuff. There's a guitar solo towards the end that I kind of like though. That's worth...a little. 3/10 From: VeryInsane \| #279 This... has to be it, isn't it? DUN DUN DUN Nope :( You're almost as close as it's physically possible to get without getting the right answer. That's way too easy a hint so I'll just flat out say it: it's Liege of Inveracity. Infecting the Crypts is pretty good too though! Only thing really holding it back is I feel like there's parts where it's kind of dragging its feet (notably the first vocal section) and it doesn't really have as much intensity; that latter is a flaw of "worse than the best song in the genre" rather than a "this is crap in a cupcake" so don't take it as too heavy a criticism! As I believe I've said before I love Effigy of the Forgotten, it's a top 10 death metal album for me and this is one of the stronger tracks on it, so it's certainly not getting a low score or anything. 8.5/10 From: LolMyAlt \| #280 System of a Down - Prison Song Holy cow this is absolutely awful. Crappy chugging? What in the hell is this whispering? Was that an attempt at harsh vocals for a word? Man I can't even put into words how awful basically every single word vocalized in any way in this song is. I'll try my best: It's like eating a cardboard and tree bark sandwich then washing it down with toilet water. That sounds awful and unhealthy but it's like calling Tiger Woods slightly unfaithful, it doesn't do any justice at all to just how severe the problem is. This is seriously one of the absolute worst attempts at entertainment that I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. I'd rather go back and ride that roller coaster with the messed up safety harness that basically slammed an almost entirely unpadded metal bar into your cheek on every turn than listen to this atrocity again. 0.5/10 -- Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved. <cite>Panthera posted [p:964878] in The return...

This isn't really bad, it's just...kind of there. The vocals are kind of shaky. And this is not a case of shoving stupid "melodic" elements into places they don't belong. It's simply that the song writing isn't all that strong. Basically, it isn't doing anything wrong so much as it is doing something right, but not overly well.

And it's a real shame because the rest of the song is everything traditional heavy metal should be.
