I went from being a glam metal apologist to believing most of the hate is justified lmao
Actually delving into glam discographies made me realise how much of it beyond the well-known/popular singles is just unremarkable. It really is mostly pop metal with the occassional decent song. It's the only metal genre that's never had a decent revival for a reason
Also idek why it's even called metal when every normalfag I've met thinks of it as just 'rock'

so far there's only one song i'd say is actually /trad/ (#4), but i do really like this album so far, especially box of six and department s.

Most albums had 4 or 5 songs not written by Kai, so there's not just a few songs not written by him.

not /trad/ at all but this was pretty good, slows down a bit with the final few songs though, those last three just feel like padding.

Can you explain why it isn't /trad/? I don't mind it being vetoed, I'm just curious and would like to gain a better ear for discerning if this type of music isn't fit for the thread

there's a few songs that are groove metal, but overall most of its industrial. there's a lot of sounds and riffs throughout many of the songs that try and emulate the sound of metal clanking together, a lot of bouncy, chugging riffing; and some of them just outright eschew traditional metal and rock structure altogether. (e.g. mysterons, northern wisdom)
>>
here's a few examples of what i mean from the first song. these kinds of sounds pervade through much of the album, and you just don't hear this kind of stuff in traditional metal/rock.

The amazing thing about Riot is that they refuse to release bad albums. Even this one that I overlooked when I first listened to their discography is pretty good. It's obviously not as good as their best stuff, but still.

That's true, most glam bands lean more towards rock than metal. Motley Crue, Ratt and Dokken are probably the metalest of the lot.
>>
>>130032431
>Motley Crue, Ratt and Dokken are probably the metalest of the lot.
just about right, but personally i'd switch out ratt with skid row. much of their first album has metal riffing up the ass and SttG is barely even a glam album, more so traditional hard 'n' heavy. ratt meanwhile, the only things that they've put out i can really say are metallic are the debut EP and out of the cellar.
>>
>>130032475
Fair enough. Out Of The Cellar is my favorite glam album by far so I have soft spot for them. And they were definitely one of the heaviest bands of that whole scene, at least up to the second album, which I do think is still very metal. After that they did tone down their sound, yeah.
>>
>>130032554
>Out Of The Cellar is my favorite glam album by far so I have soft spot for them.
that one's high up there for me too, but i'd say i have to give it to shout at the devil. it's the only album vince neil actually sounds somewhat decent on and all the songs are at the very least pretty good. i like out of the cellar but there's a few songs that i'm just not strong on.

I love glam but only by the bands that could do heavy if they really wanted to. Dokken obviously with songs like Tooth and Nail, Lightning Strikes Again etc. Also others like Ratt, Whitesnake + Blue Murder, White Lion, Great White, TNT, Leatherwolf, etc.

I like every song on OOTC but can't say the same about any other glam album. The first two Crue albums are very good but there are some tracks that I don't care much for. We seem to be opposites in this regard! lol. The Crue songs that I like I like a lot though, total bangers. My favorite on Shout might be Bastard.

used to be mine as well, but now i think that goes to looks that kill. i also listen to red hot a fair amount, too. it's probably their heaviest song and there's some pretty nasty riffing in it.

lemme go give that one a listen

Japan had a bonus track call Tokyo's on Fire.
It's not really connected thematically (in terms of lyrics) to the rest of the album, but its a cool track.

some of the songs are fine (e.g. #3, #9) but most of this record is industrial or a 50/50 mix. cool album though, i really liked the horror and blackie's singing was fantastic across the board.

Idk if it will be relevant, but I will say that "Fetus" seems more like an intro to "Little Death" than its own full fledged song.

What's your guys' favorite song on Narita
For me it's 49er
>>
>>130047525
road racin’ followed closely by the title track, both two of my favorite songs
>>
>>130046627
The horror is probably one of the more industrial tracks.

Personally my only real complaint about kfd is the mixing of the synths on the tittle track and my tortured eyes. It's hard to hear the (bass?) synth after the intro on KFD, and its hard to hear the organ/synth after the bridge on My tortured eyes
I'm probably one of the few people with this opinion, but its basically my favorite wasp album.
>>
Is there any metal band that mostly cover old C64 and Amiga tunes? A lot of those tunes translate very well into heavy metal songs.
