It's not really metal, more like heavy metal, which actually seems to be a difference nowadays, but my choice would be ...And Justice For All by Metallica. And no, Metallica is not nothing.

And Justice is a awesome CD, wow, glad someone said it, I like Metallica's stuff even with Load and Re-Load, but St.Anger made me sick, litteraly.

As for Otep, I looked em up, they are nu-metal

Let me clear up some metal myths for you all:

  • Metallica is dull, lifeless thrash. Influential to a point, but that speaks nothing of quality.
  • Opeth sucks. Not death metal. Formless, pretentious wankery.
  • Dream Theater sucks. Only metal in aesthetic.
  • Slayer rules, actually.
  • Metalcore shouldn't even be mentioned in this thread.
  • Melodic death metal is bland tripe.
  • 99% of 'progressive metal' is absolutely terrible.

That's all for now. I'll shoot more fallacies down as I see them.

I agree that Slayer rules, but not with anything else you said. Metallica are gods of metal. Sure, they're not as good as they used to be, but I still like them. Opeth is amazing. They have an extraordinary amount of talent. Never really listened to Dream Theater so not going to say anything about that. Theres nothing wrong with Metalcore. They have some great bands like Killswitch Engage. And Melodic Death Metal is awesome. Children of Bodom and Arch Enemy are good examples of great Melodic Death Metal bands. Listen to the Bridge of Destiny solo, can you honestly say thats not an amazing piece of music?

Metallica are not gods of metal. They are a thrash band, whose only real accomplishment was Kill 'em All, and only for its historic significance. Opeth is terrible. Simply because they write long, meandering songs does not make them talented. They may be talented musicians, but 90% of metal bands are composed of extremely competent musicians. Point void. They can't write coherent songs, the dynamics on any given song are almost always ridiculous. They suck. Metalcore is just a sound. Music for the body, not the mind: hence, sucks. Melodic death metal took everything great about death metal and... well, left it behind. And solos area really not essential.

Actually, they really fell off with Arise. Beneath the Remains is the best they ever managed.

U know not all of us are closeminded metal heads like u
So, because I'm critical, I'm closed-minded?

You're right, it's just not very expressive.

Okay, I'll just let you have your opinion. But seriously, listen to the Bridge of Destiny solo. Its amazing.

-Keel-_basic

- Metallica is indeed dull, lifeless Thrash...everything after The Black Album that is

- Opeth does not suck, they're are not "pure" Death Metal, they are DM with elemenths of prog. rock, blue, folk, and jazz

- Dream Theater (although not really my cup of tea) are over rated imo, but still very talented musicians

- Slayer does rule, but not as much as Kreator

- finally we agree on something; Metalcore should not be mentioned in this thread, or any other conversation regarding metal for that matter

- Melodic Death Metal is awesome. Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Wintersun...so many great bands

- i agree some progresive metal is bad, but there is a hell of allot of good progressive metal bands to.

god elitists annoy me sometimes

  • Opeth sucks. Not death metal. Formless, pretentious wankery.
  • Dream Theater sucks. Only metal in aesthetic.
  • Slayer rules, actually.
  • Metalcore shouldn't even be mentioned in this thread.
  • Melodic death metal is bland tripe.
  • 99% of 'progressive metal' is absolutely terrible.

That's all for now. I'll shoot more fallacies down as I see them.

- Metallica is indeed dull, lifeless Thrash...everything after The Black Album that is

- Opeth does not suck, they're are not "pure" Death Metal, they are DM with elemenths of prog. rock, blue, folk, and jazz

- Dream Theater (although not really my cup of tea) are over rated imo, but still very talented musicians

- Slayer does rule, but not as much as Kreator

- finally we agree on something; Metalcore should not be mentioned in this thread, or any other conversation regarding metal for that matter

- Melodic Death Metal is awesome. Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, Wintersun...so many great bands

- i agree some progresive metal is bad, but there is a hell of allot of good progressive metal bands to.

god elitists annoy me sometimes

Agreed, except the metalcore thing, there is one metalcore band i like... Killswitch Engage, which I consider them heavy metal. Hate me if you must
