https://youtu.be/f6M741Jby80?si=m5guHQ5qelHF4vm8
>>130217544No offense to Andre Matos (RIP), but his vocals are so annoying. His vocal tone is so sweet and he does a weird yodel thing every line.
Kinda surprised at these scores. I know Mastodon is a little divisive so I wasn't expecting glowing reviews across the board but I figured the early albums would be sitting in the 80s
>>130217544
>>130222299I don't take review scores on that site seriously, there's always some holier than thou retard review bombing with a ridiculous score, basically shitting in the pool. Especially that ultraboris retard gave a few 0% reviews to popular albums just because, imo such things should be deleted.
>>130224112Yeah remember that MA scores are from just those handful of reviews, they're not hundreds of people voting like on RYM or elsewhere. So they're not at all reflective of any community consensus, just the opinion of a dozen people at most.
>>130217265This album would've been legit total kino if the production was actually good. Andy Johns nearly did it, which would've sounded great, but then they decided against it because of his coke habit. Problem is, Dennis MacKay who got the job was drunk for nearly all the sessions and completely mailed it in. Subsequently you have a piss weak drum sound and Bonnet's vocals are strained because he was singing at the absolute top of his range - a good producer would've brought it down half a step to make his vocals more comfortable.The second album with Steve Vai has great production and way better vocals thanks to Eddie Kramer but then material isn't neatly as strong as the debut.
>>130227118i don't really mind the poor production that much. it definitely detracts from the album, but not by a lot and i think the material across the board more than makes up for it.>and Bonnet's vocals are strained because he was singing at the absolute top of his range - a good producer would've brought it down half a step to make his vocals more comfortable.this is my only complaint about the album, though. graham is one of my favorite rock singers from the early 80s, but outside of the mid-paced rockers like general hospital, i don't think his performance is all that great. it's serviceable, and he has his moments but i think he's far better on assault attack by MSG.
>>130217544fun fact, the album after this one was written by david defeis, from virgin steele.
>>130222299Looks about right to me. Mastodon is pretty pretentious music. Most smarty pants metal albums should be around 7/10 because they don't have catchy melodies.

Metallica are conducting their soundcheck for tomorrow, can hear them from my parents house.
>>130232134Everything?
>>130234188you should politely tell them to turn it down
>>130235864What's the pretense?
might be my favorite whitesnake song, guitarwork’s fucking ace and so is the songwritinghttps://youtu.be/HJtL_jmGI8U?si=c7zbfP-dbs8MKWBN
>>130236923Progressive metal is pretentious by nature, plus it's a concept album, which is always pretentious in itself.
The thinking man's Motörhead
The caveman's Motörhead
>>130236834KEK
>>130239030I really dig their musical turn on Echoes of a Distant Battle, but on the other hand it feels like a miniature Screwdriver saga; they were waiting to release their power level through heavy metal.
>>130217265riot is the best trad metal band
>>130239707Not a chance.
>>130239707They get a good rep but I still consider them an underrated band. Was blasting this earlierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_tDv5MBso

>>130240036Mark Reale is one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists of all time

>>130239043Opinion on crust n roll or old crossover?
>>130241254Bigger fan of crossover than crust.
>>130241438Fair enough. When it comes to crossover then, do you prefer the older more hardcore-esque one or the more modern Municipal Waste style?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnohSrPfiMg
>>130241465Really don't have a one over the other. I might lean a bit more towards the older stuff.

>>130240033whats this from?
>>130224112Some notable albums do have like 90%+ score.
>>130250301A few examples:https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Virgin_Steele/The_Marriage_of_Heaven_and_Hell_-_Part_One/2760https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Virgin_Steele/The_Marriage_of_Heaven_and_Hell_-_Part_Two/2762https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Virgin_Steele/Invictus/459776https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Virgin_Steele/The_House_of_Atreus_-_Act_I%3A_Kingdom_of_the_Fearless_%28A_Barbaric_Romantic_Opera%29/2764https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Sepultura/Schizophrenia/322https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Sepultura/Beneath_the_Remains/321
I'm really out of the loop when it comes to modern metal, is there anything released in the last 5 or so years that you people recommend?
>>130217544Not a fan of thisThere's a common issue I have with a lot of trad metal, it tries too hard to sound 'epic', but just ends up sounding overly self-indulgent. And I'd barely consider this heavy either, it's just aimless harmonised guitar melodies and not enough impactful riffs
>>130241025>Mogg/Way - Edge of the Worldi'm going to listen to this first>Savatage - The Wake of Magellancounted
>>130254232We're still on 1997? I thought this year was gonna be easy. Anyway, I second Savatage and nominate Sacred Steel - Reborn in Steel.
>>130254252>We're still on 1997? I thought this year was gonna be easy. i'm pretty surprised as well. 1996 didn't have anywhere near as many albums i liked, but that one went by fairly quickly. this one's just dragging. and it's not for a lack of nominations, either, there's plenty of 1 votes.>Anyway, I second Savatage and nominate Sacred Steel - Reborn in Steel.gotcha. by the way, is 90s savatage any good? i've only listened to their 80s stuff, of which the only album i really go back to is mountain king. (though that ep they did as part of the sirens sessions is pretty good, too.)
>>13025430590s Savatage is a true rollercoaster ride. There's a mediocre album between every good one. Gutter Ballet, Edge of Thorns and Wake of Magellan are the really good ones.
>>130250821century - the conquest of time (2023)cirith ungol - dark parade (2023)exxul - sealed into none (2026)flight - echoes of journey past (2023)gatekeeper - from western shores (2023)glacier - the passing of time (2020)gloomy reflections - oath of the paladins (2024)there's also that debut by riot city, but its name escapes me. >>130254364i was going to listen to edge of thorns for the 1993 chart but never did, so i'll start with that one. it's about time, too, i've had that in my library for months lol
jesus christ, i was not expecting anything UFO-adjacent to pump out a song this heavy. this is fucking fantastic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPpnWRitLHk
>>130250289Don't know remember. Most likely Kerrang, or Metal Hammer.
>>130217544there is some of the classic UFO sound (like on the closing instrumental, change brings a change and house of pain) here, but this is just early 80s heavy metal and rock that got released in 1997 instead of 1982. as for the amount of metal, it's comparable to screaming for vengeance or blackout. plenty of metal, plenty of rock in roughly equal quantity. i'm also going to second this because it's a great album, and honestly better than any of the UFO records i've heard.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL44kuYYS8ym0tcPcx_LdoszY3SWMnaqy
>>130217544this is just an excellent rock album. phil's vocals are powerful, the songs are consistently engaging and all stand out from each other, and the melodies are great across the board. i really have no complaints.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnhS6K2zVEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m78pEV5qU-Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lx7tI2audY
>>130217544https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWJFjgcAhjQ
>>130253723AgreedThe game must be slapping though
>>130255248Have been listening to Moody/Marsden Whitesnake since I was 14, I have a soft spot for their riffs which should sound heavier (and that is exactly what drove that producer to change their whole image and upgrade their sound) in theory, but somehow fall just short of what Blackmore wrote.
>>130255248I have to add that I was rocking out to Sweet Talker and Come On however. And Walking In the Shadow of the Blues is a bonafide bang ER.
>>130257712whitesnake were one of the earlier bands i got into, shortly after deep purple (go figure lol), scorpions and rainbow. come to think of it, i don't recall listening to their '87 S/T until well after i had checked out lovehunter and come an' get it.>I have a soft spot for their riffs which should sound heavier (and that is exactly what drove that producer to change their whole image and upgrade their sound) in theory, but somehow fall just short of what Blackmore wrote.fool for your loving is a good example of that. metallic, driving riff, same kind of deal as smoke on the water - but it doesn't have the same power as that song's riff. the chugging in between dave's lines in the chorus are also kind of heavy. mean business off lovehunter also comes to mind. it's so obviously a metal song if you're going by riffs, but it doesn't sound metallic at all. none of the crunch that would've been there if it were recorded by later whitesnake or deep purple.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TayQHkc9ook
>>130258180whitesnake - walking in the shadow of the blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Upg6lBSgc0whitesnake - medicine man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycMWIPSAjNMi'm really enjoying this album, forgot how much it rocks

>>130258140Right? I saw the picture of Clive Burr with the Whitesnake t-shirt in the Killers reissue and thought "oh, there's another heavy metal band I didn't know" and went and bought Live...In the Heart of the City.

>>130259623I need to listen to this band some more
You know what the real gem of this general is? Besides learning about bands and music, we don't try to sell each other stuff. We are fucking going with our tastes as our only compass in the sea of a music scene, largely commodified. Like a fanzine, online. I remember an ad from Brian Slagel when he launched Metal Blade, where he said that the spirit of 60s rock rebellion lives through the new era of 80s heavy metal, which of course had to be infused with punk. And it was a new sound and it made you stand out, mostly fingers (of scorn) pointing at you, which is a GOOD thing. And it made all the christ freaks condemn heavy metal for the faults of a class society. Now you have 'Tallica selling out arenas within an hour for 400 dollars/euros a pop, Araya turning christian and of course you already had a lot of bands from the 80s just being charmed by the rebellious sound while being conservative.I am not trying to alienate anyone here, just sharing my thoughts honestly, but heavy metal is the music of the rebellious, bar none. And in here, you can share your tastes and opinions without anybody sensoring them. As it fucking should be.
>>130263005>Like a fanzine, online.You're right, this sort of feels like one, just sharing what we like with each other. People here stay on topic unlike the teenage drama that is /metal/. I appreciate what gets posted here a lot, even if I'm not replying to it I'm still checking out most of what gets posted.
>>130263005That's the worst thing about nowadays internet in general, everything is for fucking profit. Fucking ads, sponsorships, paywalls everywhere. Unlike once where people just shared and talked about stuff just because they genuinely liked it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLnMTp_QULs&list=PLNaH8FFnSB2soPsB9xhCenbk1poc3jzZt&index=1
>>130217265Anyone here into Damien Storm? People on RYM and metal-archives seem to really hate this album, but it's fun. Apart from the no budget production values and obvious homage to King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, the real contentious quality here is that the themes and presentation are deliberately kitsch. https://youtu.be/l4sG-SicDu0https://youtu.be/7IoVtXR1XyYhttps://youtu.be/CcGDT6EIzqA

>>130217265I do NOT listen to metal at all.. But I randomly stumbled upon Tygers of the Pan Tang and oh my god.. This is my shit. The first song I heard was Only the Brave.. And I added all of their music to my playlist for the gym.Is there any metal bands that have nothing but hard metal? No slow ahhh songs but like straight up 100% rock metal all the way through? I also added Iron Maiden's discography.

>>130271936their first four albums (+ haunting the chapel) are essential metal listening and hell awaits in particular pretty much set the blueprint for death metal. i'd also recommend you check out razor - violent restitution, as that album sounds like it was made while they were coked out.

>>130265035I am aware of him because there are photos of Seth Putnam where you can see a Damien Storm sticker on his guitar, though I never got around to listening to it until now. Sounds exactly how I expected, amateurish bedroom project that is undeniably passionate. This kind of thing has a unique flair to it that cannot be replicated. Reminds me of the kind of music I used to write as a teenager, and I mean this in the best possible way.

>>130274540your post gave me the kick in the ass to actually check that one out lol. it's a fantastic release, imo slows down a bit towards the end but it picks right back up with mistreated. i also loved sweet talker, the more pronounced guitars give that song some much needed venom, that i think it lacked on ready an' willing.
>>130217544good album, but i think that it only really excels with the final few songs.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k4nUuP1zoJMQ9RWKwKYkPNfrtzYto4DT4

>>130217544yet another great stratovarius release. title track is without question the highlight, but SOS, no turning back, rebel and anthem of the world are all amazing songs and stack up with the highs from episode and visions. seconding.

>>130279013i think this is the fastest a chart has passed the halfway point
>>130276963One of very few albums I consider perfect.
>>130279108Here's my chart for 1998. I wonder how similar they'll end up being.
new deep purple song just came out. it's a pretty heavy tune, much more metallic than you'd expect from modern DP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoSr0sStFaE
>>130279401so far i'm already seeing a lot of shared albums between the two. also that concerto moon album looks fucking sick, i think i'll check that out.
>>130279421That's really good. I love that these guys are still around.
>>130279421So, I'm like not gay or anything, but Ian Gillan is a pretty handsome 80 year old.
>>130279478afaik they're the only one of those rock/metal bands from the late 60s that's still around besides JP. and even then, i don't think there's any members from the original lineup left.>I love that these guys are still around.same here, and they're actually in my personal top 3 bands, right up there with scorpions and priest.
>>130279599There's also Scorpions, but Deep Purple is the only band I can think of that put out albums in the 60s and is still around with several members from back then. If we're looking outside of metal, there's The Who and The Rolling Stones.
>>130279699>There's also Scorpions, but Deep Purple is the only band I can think of that put out albums in the 60s and is still around with several members from back then.apparently there's three members from 60s DP that are still in the band. (gillan, glover and paice, though paice was the only one that played on any of the studio LPs). in fact, the only member from the 60s that's dead is jon lord. the rest are still alive.
>>130279909Wish they could have had a final reunion with Blackmore. Simon is doing great, though.
>>130279987>Wish they could have had a final reunion with Blackmore.wasn't there going to be one with their R&R hall of fame induction? i remember reading about that a while back.>Simon is doing great, though.the little i remember of his work from =1, it was pretty solid. i haven't listened to that album since it came out, though.
>The bass player and composer, joined Deep Purple from Episode Six in 1969, then left to become head of A&R at Purple Records. He wrote the ‘The Butterfly Ball’ (1974) concept album which yielded the hit song ‘Love is All’ sung by Ronnie James Dio.>While Love Is All did little in the United Kingdom, it became an unexpected number one-hit in the Netherlands and Belgium for several weeks. In the Dutch Top 40, it reached number one for three weeks.I need to find this now.
>>130280078>I need to find this now.i gave that love is all song a listen. it's honestly pretty alright. not heavy at all (doesn't even sound like rock), but the melody's good and dio sings well.
>>130217544Was gonna post this in the main thread but I've seen thrash posted here so I'd rather leave it hereThis album has some really nice riffing and excellent production for thrash, but the vocals really tarnish it at some points.The vocalist is trying to be 'melodic' but he can only hit like 3 different notes. Sometimes it works and he sounds decent, but there's so many moments where it just doesn't. And it doesn't help that he loves holding those notes for so fucking longgggg. It gets fucking annoying lolThis feels like one of those albums with so much potential, it could be a really fantastic album if they had a more competent vocalist. I think if it had somehow come out a few years earlier with a /trad/ vocalist it would be hailed as a masterpiece. Even the album cover looks kinda early-80s

>>130280318I never had the patience to listen to that album in full. There are some great riffs in there but it really didn't need to be a whole hour long. And I agree about the vocals being monotonous, which is strange because on the previous album he sounded looser and even did some higher pitched screams, then suddenly here he is very restrained.I guess this was mainly influenced by Metallica after they did AJFA, but a lot of thrash bands in the late 80s decided to slow down a lot and write long ass songs, and I was never a big fan of that. That is going in the opposite direction of what thrash ought to be imo. Thrash metal should be high adrenaline music that makes you literally want to thrash something. Darkness Descends itself was already a perfect example of thrash at its best. Aggression's The Full Treatment is another that comes to mind as an example of a perfect thrash album to me.

Hot take, but I think this album is a bit too inconsistent to be considered a masterpiece. There are songs I would absolutely rate 10/10 on here (Mirror Mirror is pretty much the quintessential power metal song), but then there's a bunch of 6/10 songs and I'm not talking about all the interludes. Songs like Blood Tears, Noldor and The Eldar never did much for me. I think A Night at the Opera has the same problem.
>>130288107I disagree. The only real problem is too many narration tracks.

>>130305959nope. why?
>>130217265Is /trad/ at all aware of Metal Enterprises? If not, treat yourself:https://thecorroseum.org/features/metalenterprises/index.phpStarted by Ingo Nowotny, Metal Enterprises produced some of the most bizarre, ugly, heinous and thoroughly otherworldly records cut to wax. The first LPs were licensed editions of non-German releases, but overtime, the label released unique LPs. By far, the most infamous releases were what were later called Metalploitation records, where previous signees would allegedly forfeit the rights to their names before Nowotny and his merry band of hired studio musicians recruited by Holger Schmidt would record and release fake follow-ups similar to those shitty Italian horror/sci-fi film sequels. At least three bands were prey to these schemes, including Killer Foxx, Kahlkopf and Thrash Queen. The label also had notorious studio projects like Extreme Napalm Terror that only existed for the label to cash in on Grindcore and Death Metal. I strain to think of a practice too unethical or shameful for Nowotny and friends.Against the odds, the label intermittently released some unique records worth listening to at least once. For me, the best LP was Think of Misery's Poverty Is No Disgrace:https://youtu.be/j0atXlctyEsPure Teutonic Thrash in the vein of Kreator and Sodom with hints of Sadus or Coroner.
Perhaps the most infamous of their pseudo-sophomores was "Thrash Queen"'s Ashes to Ashes:https://youtu.be/aaQcCrBwtY0Opening with a grotesque rendition of Richard Strauss's immortal "Also Sprach Zarathustra", the completely discordant arrangement sets the tone before the album hits you with "Vox of Thrash". The riffs start out with what you could expect from '80s Metal, but then comes the vocalist. This woman shrieks out nigh incomprehensible hebephrenic lyrics that follow no coherent theme and convey no narrative or message. It's like what would happen if an echolalic child recorded an album comprised from movie quotes, but in this case, it's a tone deaf woman trying to imitate opera. The woman's hysterical yelping and thick German accent drive home cheery lyrics like: "VOX OF THRAAASH! LIGHT THE INFERNO! Let's make love in the pool! Let's make love in the refrigerator!" As if that was not enough, the subsequent track "God Save the Queen" features our lovely lady caterwauling, "GOD SHAVE THE QUEEEEEEEEN!" With each proper song running well over 7 minutes in length when the music can only justify 3 at most, you'll be questioning reality before your brain gets sucked into a black hole.Must be heard to be believed.
The story behind the original Thrash Queen is a rather curious one. Formed in Southern New England around 1984 at the behest of a friend who would later marry (then divorce within a year) the band's guitarist, Thrash Queen would record what is largely regarded as one of the worst Heavy Metal records ever recorded: Manslayer. Featuring simplistic, derivative Speed Metal riffs and tanker bottom-tier productions, the album's statement as being the world's first all-female Thrash band would be entirely lost on the world, but the story doesn't end there.Across the pond, Metal Enterprises was more than curious about Lanslyde Records's airfare and agreed to release licensed editions of both Killer Foxx and Thrash Queen. According to Lanslyde founder Matthew Brooks, Nowotny apparently did not ask for master tapes which were customary industry practices, leading him to assume he mastered the German edition directly from the vinyl. Considering how shoddy the original LP sounded on account of being recorded on a Studiomaster 4 track with the guitars in turn recorded through a microphone and a 4x12 cab stuffed into the rear of a Toyota (try picturing that in your head), God only knows how the German edition sounded:https://youtu.be/Ypa9TqK_zvsTruth be told, I've heard worse. I've listened to my share of shit-ass Metal albums, and after sitting through this track to track, the music itself isn't any worse than some generic Speed Metal band's demo tape, although it doesn't help when your title track is both your worst and opening track. Nonexistent production values aside, even the good tracks are monotonous and repetitive.

I love the clean riffs, I love the dirty riffs, I love how the song alternates between them and gets heavier over time.I like the song enough to have listened to the rest of the album, which was pretty good, but this song is still my favorite by far.With all that being said, what the fuck were they thinking when writing the solo? Is it supposed to sound bad? I mean, I guess it kinda fits the song but it still sounds absolutely bizzare to me lol.

It has come to my attention that this is currently the best general on /mu/ by a significant margin. Well done, lads.
>>130217544Say what you want about this album, but Architect of Pain is great.
Damn, this album is so vastly overrated. I can't believe it was voted the greatest metal album of all time.Starts out great with "Battery" and "Master of Puppets", yeah, two classic songs, great. Then "The Thing That Should Not Be" comes on and it's not a good song. It's very meandering without making any lasting impression. Then "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". Great song, one of their best.Side 2 starts with "Disposable Heroes", a good song, but nothing spectacular. Same with next song "Leper Messiah". Good, but not great. After that the low point of the album, "Orion", an instrumental who completely halts the momentum that is left on the album and it's way too long for what it is. Last song is "Damage Inc." and it picks the record up a bit, but it's still not a great composition.3 songs are great and classics, 1 stinker song and 4 good songs. Definitely not the greatest metal album of all time.
>>130279108Funny how quickly we got to 15 and then it just stopped. Surprised more people didn't nominate Slough Feg. Their first, arguably much weaker album got on the 1996 chart.

>>130372792>the low point of the album, "Orion",You could have picked one of the other songs you don't like to call it the low point of the album, but Orion? Orion is the sound of Master of Puppets. It's a brutal and yet melancholic instrumental.How far Metallica have fallen.
>>130371168And you are...?
>>130378268For me Leper Messiah is the low point. Orion is a great song, and actual musicians like guitar players must learn it at some point. Mutards are mostly untalented hacks.
>>130372792>I can't believe it was voted the greatest metal album of all timeIt's because Metallica was many people's first exposure to the genre, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. They're gonna look at it less objectively than other albums>>130378316>For me Leper Messiah is the low pointYeah I'd agree, it's the least interesting song on the album, and funnily enough that's the one Mustaine claims to have written riffs for on this album. I like Megadeth but the dickriding of Mustaine is ridiculous, saying that Metallica went to shit right after they ran out of Mustaine riffs is just dishonest bullshit, considering the greatest songs they ever wrote like Master of Puppets and Sanitarium didn't use his ideas whatsoever. Sure his contributions to the beginning of the band are undeniable but Metallica very clearly peaked WITHOUT him, no matter how hard mustard stain and his legions of megadickriders try to portray it otherwise

I genuinely think Harris kneecapped himself by refusing to budge on not having a non-British singer in Maiden. Blaze and Doogie White were the two final choices, but then a lot of the Euro power metal singers who auditioned, as well as John West, who would've fitted a lot better were never seriously in the running just on the basis they weren't Brits. Though at least with West, the Maiden camp liked him enough to he passed his audition tape on to Cozy Powell, which is why he sings on his final solo album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MElKX86qx9c
