Overrated Metal Albums Part 2 | Feat. The Metal Meltdown 

Albums start at 3:30

Howdy Sir this is going to be interesting. :D

Strongly disagree that the worst Iron Maiden albums are better than most band’s best.

Now it’s time for a Underrated Metal Albums video.

You can disagree with Varg's worldview if you want, but to call him a Neonazi is a stretch, and to call him a terrorist is flat-out idiotic.

Brilliant collaboration , this was lots of fun thankyou guys!!!! Totally agree with your opinion on Piece of Mind and Powerslave Questy! 🤘

The building on the cover of _De Mysteriis_ is Nidaros Cathedral, which is located in Trondheim, Trøndelag fylke, Norway. It was built atop the burial site of King Olaf II, patron saint of Norway, and has, since the Middle Ages, served as the traditional site for the consecration and coronation of Norwegian kings.

i love these type of videos. always great to see two great metal youtubers discussing albums

Great hearing Brave new world is your favorite! it's mine aswell

Amazing collab, Meltdown’s impersonation of Cradle of Filth was 10/10. I want that Meltdown album now

So I know this is an older video so I'm a little late to the party haha, but I gotta weigh in on the Mayhem take. I understand why people don't care for Attila's vocals on that album, but for me I like that it's unique and stands apart from other black metal vocalists of the time. He was doing something different from the usual high pitched raspy vocals that were just oversaturated within the genre. Just my two cents. Enjoy your channel and Robert's as well. Always love your collaborations.

I'm a huge Judas Priest fan, but always thought British Steel was over-rated. I still really like it. I do love Metal Gods and The Rage is my favourite from the album.

I love Iced Earth Horror Show. Matt Barlow is one of my top 5 singers and Horror Show is his best album. He sings his ass off on that thing especially on Dracula. One of the best metal vocal performances ever recorded. And DiGiorgio plays on it so that's pretty awesome. Something Wicked would be my pick for overrated Iced Earth album.

I disagree on a few albums mentioned...Nymphetamine , Piece Of Mind and Youthanasia but I can't imagine crying much less sending death threats because you guys have a differing opinion. How sad and pathetic does one have to be ?? Anyway , very enjoyable video. Hope to see more collaborations between you guys.

I agree that Sin After Sin is a better album than British Steel. Youthanasia was also a bit overrated. too much 90's drivel on it like on the following couple of Megadeth records. Never heard of sleep token but I can tell from the cover art that I won't like it. haha Cradle of Filth I would put all their albums in this discussion since they are crap. haha Dream Theater I don't care about either. Pantera, lets throw them in the garbage bin too. haha. Good show guys!

>Blasphemy has lazy death metal beats >wears Obituary shirt lol honestly im amazed he evens knows Blasphemy since its more on the "obscure" side of things and MMD ...well isn't really a guy he talks about anything on the obscure side. still its fun to watch him since he acts like internet comments don't get to him yet he continuously complains about them non-stop.

12:47 cringe

I like all the albums they picked and non of em are overrated =)

Interesting discussion great collab

Sun and Steel is such a good Maiden song, probably my favorite off of Piece of Mind

Agreed Questy, I absolutely love Thirteen as well

Some awesome picks there guys, I agree with quite a few of those actually! Great video

Dude, I’m a big Sleep Token fan, but I totally agree that the new record is overrated, compared to past material. I enjoy the album, but I feel you, man.

I love the Youthanasia album. prob my 3rd favorite Megadeth album

What’s odd about Blasphemy is I agree it sucked balls but for some damn reason that cassette stayed in my player for some reason…it stuck on me although I wanted to hate it

I love Matt Barlow Iced Earth but no one thinks Horror Show is good, so it's not overrated. I bet Questy likes Demons and Wizards which is almost all written by Jon Scheafer. And, Something Wicked and Love in Athens are great.

i love fallen angel of doom ☹️

The Mayhem cover is a Norwegian cathedral !! Nidarosdomen

Maiden is by far my favorite band of all time, but I still agree with Piece of Mind. It's probably the weakest of their 80s output for two reasons; Die With Your Boots On and Sun and Steel. The other albums have max one song which I consider to be sub-par compared to the rest of their respectuve albums (Running Free, Drifter, Gangland, Back in the Village, Heaven Can Wait, Can I Play With Madness). I like these songs but they just fall behind in comparison to the rest. The rest is an absolute 10/10. And I also agree with British Steel! I've just never gotten the hype. I realize its importance, but most of the songs I just find are just average at best. Rapid Fire, Metal Gods and The Rage are all bone fide bangers though, some of the best songs they've made. But United has to be one of their worst songs. They released so many better albums both before and after, I don't know why or how British Steel has been put upon the same pedestal as Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin after Sin, Stained Class or Painkiller. I even put Firepower and Angel of Retribution ahead of British Steel.

Brave video! I particularly love Horror Show though and would actually have it in my top 10 Metal Albums of all time, and Iced Earth are close to a top 5 Metal bands for me. Not triggered though, different people like different things. And for these albums to be called 'overrated' proves that there is a consensus that a legion of fans out there DO rate it highly, so there's plenty defenders of it besides me.

Piece of Mind and Somewhere in Time are tied for the top spot(Killers, beast#, Powerslave round my top 5). I guess add the debut and Fear of the Dark and you have the Maiden I really like. 7th, no prayer, and most stuff from Blaze through today bores me. I like a few tunes here and there, probably the most on AMOLAD

i liked wisconsin death trip to see what was it and is bored of it now great picks disagree with most of them awesome video

Somewhere in Time, Powerslave and The Number of the beast are the best Maiden Albums.

The Mayhem criticism is off because usually music is judged by how it sounds yet before on Blasphemy he was determined as fuck to talk solely about the musical quality. Vocals are what made it and they shined brilliantly on Ord Ad Chao which is their best.

Didn't realize.there was a part 1!

I love ‘Horror Show’. It’s in my top 5 in their discography for me.

Damn, I'm feeling the Fallen Angel of Doom pick off rip

8:16 somebody should clip this

Aprrenty six feet under is working on a graveyard classics where they will be doing rush covers. All I can say is Fucking burn everything.

Cruelty and The Beast is considered the best COF album so your picks were mostly safe, again.

You know, I think Mayhem might've contributed to the start of Bullfrog Metal with De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas lol. Why you may ask, because (no disrespect to Attilia) but the vocalist sounds just like a bullfrog, croaking by a pond in the night.

Haha To tame a land is a killer tune. Is this dude from MetalSucks?

1:27 will you @themetalmeltdownofficial be eating your shirt on August 30th?

Robert was pumped

I disagree with Dream Theater's AVftTotW, I'd rank it in the middle of my list. Yes, it uses cliches, and the vocal melodies and performances aren't always great, but I thought it was the freshest they sounded since ADToE. My pick for underrated DT album would be AVftTotW or ADToE, both can compete with the Portnoy albums. My pick for overrated DT album would be Octavarium. I'm not really into tracks like I Walk Beside You or Never Enough, and I enjoy other DT epics more like A Change of Seasons, The Count of Tuscany, and even Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. It's still solid, but I prefer most of their other 90s and 2000s output.

Disagree with that Mayhem, don't think the vocals are that bad.

Maybe you had to be there when dmds came out because I was and it was like a kick in the teeth just haunting and in my opinion the vocals made it even more creepy it was a change from the usual! But to call them nazis is a joke euronymous was actually into communism and yes varg did the bass lines and whatever you think about his thoughts he isn’t a nazi or a terrorist they were basically teenagers rebelling and the beast got out of control. And the ‘castle’ on the front is nidrosian cathedral in Norway incidentally quite a cool black metal scene up there.

I agree partly... Maidens discography is so special saying over rated comes with a huge 'uh yeah but millions still love to listen to it anyhow' caveat for most albums.....I do think Still Life is much more loveable listen than Powerslave....Powerslave for me hit a certain zeitgeist or vein when it was released unlike Still Life which was overshadowed by the undeniable Beast....but Still Life is full of amazing songs that you want to go back to repeatedly for me. Revelation is better than anything in Powerslave for me too.

Sleep Token is 30 Seconds To Mars for scene kids. Same MO.

I'm sooooooooo with you on Dream Theatre.....I own 6 of their best albums and it's all sooooooooooo dull....I do alot of skips....and I neeeever skip usually...even when it's 💩💩💩. Technical expertise.... I'm sry.....does not always make for heart felt joy....👏👏👏

My top: 1. Metallica - Black Album 2. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction 3. Cannibal Corpse (all Chris Barns albums) 4. Slayer (all albums) 5. Slipknot - Vol. 3 6. Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast 7. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality 8. Rammstein - Mutter 9. Lamb of God (all albums) 10. System of a Down - Toxicity

If you're deciding whether or not to listen to a band based on their politics or the character of the individual musicians, you're not going to be left with many bands to listen to. If you like their music, listen to them. Many musicians are horrible people. That being said, Iced Earth is lame.

early legite black metal cradle is brutal and amazing principle especially the principle of evil made flesh especially my number one dimmu borgir enonian and children of bodom bloodrunk

'The salt will dry your eyes and I will feel your love'....👏👏👏....now if meat loaf had done it I'd be lovin it!!🤣

Can we get Rob doing an emotional cover of that entire sleep token album? Please?

For me, None So Vile would be up there. I respect what it's done for Tech Death, but it feels like chaos for the sake of chaos.

*grabs popcorn*

How could you sell out like this by getting Metal Meltdown??? You know he reads books, right? 🤮

Going overboard with the shock jock antics. 👎Annoying

Wisconsin Death Trip?!?!?! You are high, sir.

absolutely agree with fallen angel of doom, this one is not just "not so good", this is objectively bad also agree with mayhem,though i think the album is not bad, but at most ok

The reaction to sleep token is the same traction you get when you criticise yungblud

13:02 🤣 better than the vocals on the album

Sorry to do this Questy, but… Filosofem by Burzum. I don’t get Burzum in general (why would I listen to this when other bands do it better), but like, a 30 minute ambient spot in the middle of the record just left me wondering when the music was gonna kick back in.

I'm so glad both of you agree Ghost are awesome. I took my daughter to see them this year....and yes they were awesome.

I cannot disagree more with the critique of De Mysteriis's vocals. They are absolutely epic, and that album is amazing. But then he says, "I don't care about Darkthrone," so... I can agree with the take that Mayhem's discography is not as consistent as the band's importance in the scene, but De Mysteriis is a classic.

What's so weird about Vessel's singing on Sleep Token is that I feel it should bother me because it is melodramatic af but it really doesn't and I feel it adds to their unique sound IMO. Totally understand where Meltdown is coming from though, and his Vessel impressions were so accurate that they cracked me up lol

Robert: "I like the version of "A Tout Le Monde with the guest vocalist better" Fucking finally someone said it

Top left corner … looks like an album cover lol

That mayhem shit is facts but biased af. I like Attila’s vocals but dead is the goat no matter what.

Surprised Bloodthirst wasn't mentioned when you talked about Cannibal Corpse. My favouite album of theirs, and seems overlooked by many earlier or later albums in their discog.

“Spicy” … i love that term!

Love Robert. So unfortunate to hear about the personal attacks made on him and Anna.

I remember when youthanasia came out. I played it over and over for a year. Loved itand still do a lifetime record I'll always consider a favestarted playing 🎸 when I was 13 in 1990. What's funny is the only song I didn't like was train of consequences

Fucking Still Life, that song is the best track on that album.

I agree 100% about Blasphemy.... I tried to listen at that record since the nineties.. I never managed...

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who thinks sleep token is mid

Sad Youthanasia is my favorite lol but I agree with Questy Butchered at Birth is low tier

Is Breaking the Law a metal song or a hard rock song?

That Blasphemy album does suck. DMDS is a masterpiece, though. Extremely occult album with actual mystical powers inside it.

Blasphemy diss no way!

speaking as someone who loves fallen angel of doom , i can say metal meltdown is 100 percent correct in all his opinioins ,and i love this record ive loved it for 20 plus years but yeah its a sloppy amatuerish mess, and i would say the second album Gods of War is actually better

My list of Overrated albums (A Good majority of these I do enjoy still though) Iron Maiden-Number of the beast Napalm Death-Scum Pantera-Far Beyond Driven Beherit-Drawing Down the Moon Slayer-Reign in Blood Manowar-Kings of Metal Amorphis-Tales from a Thousand Lakes Immortal-At the Heart of Winter As I Lay Dying-An Ocean Between Us Blood Incantation-Hidden History of the Human Race Electric Wizard- Dopethrone Cannibal Corpse-Tomb of the Mutilated Voivod-Nothingface Venom-Black Metal Dream Theater-Metropolis pt 2 Agree with Blasphemy, Mayhem, Iced Earth, Judas Priest, Cradle of Filth choices Disagree with Megadeth, Static X, Cannibal Corpse choices

GET UP ON THIS WISCONSIN DEATHTRIP!!!

Most spicy take ever- death is over rated .

He is soy boy and a millennial but I like his approach you can't sy its overrated if you haven't taken the time period and other bands from the Era into consideration and he did

British Steel too, when I first heard it I had to listen to it like 6 times before I started to like it. I do really like It now but it would struggle to even get to my top 10 Priest albums for me. You dislike Living After Midnight but like Breaking the Law, I'm the opposite haha, Breaking the Law is just kinda lame to me, it feels like it should have a lot more energy and oomph than it actually does. I love Rapid Fire and Grinder though and personally I also love United and Red White and Blue. So there are a good few songs I like on the album but I like other albums so so much more. My top 5 Priest albums would go: 1: Painkiller Turbo Sad Wings of Destiny Nostradamous Defenders of Faith 2 and 3 can be interchangeable depending on my mood and so can 4 and 5. Not sure what I would put after.

My list: De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas - Mayhem Tomb of the Mutilated - Cannibal Corpse Filosofem - Burzum Infant Annihilator in general Anything that has come out of the Pornogrind subgenre has been horrible

I used to think the vocals on de mysteriis were bad, but it's an aquired taste 😀

Sin after sin is a better record than british steel and hell bent for leather imo. Sad wings of destiny is absolutely my favorite priest album though. Also I like Iced Earth quite a bit, and horror show has some bangers for sure (dracula especially), but it's no burnt offerings or dark saga. Matt Barlow is my favorite aspect of Iced Earth.

incels reunion

I will agree that Attilas vocals are terrible, he sounds like Popeye, but I saw them do this album live and it was great. Most Mayhem albums suck but this album is still their best by a long shot. Youthanasia sucks so who thinks this is even a good album, It's the worst of all Megadeth albums up to that point.

From Maiden, Killers is overrated, is the least good from the 80´s albums era. I think it's a bad copy of the self titled album and Di Anno voice is horrible.

Personally attacking someone for critiquing something you like is insane. Variety is the spice of life.

I’m glad I’m not alone on disliking De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. I cannot stand that album in any capacity. It sort of blew my mind in a way because of how bad it is for being considered a classic. And there’s also the fact that literal N*zism is somehow one of the tamer controversies this band has been in. I can usually separate the art from the artist, but when the artists are this bad, it gets pretty difficult.

Yeah I've been told that I'm insane and that I'm objectively wrong when I've said that De Mysteriis isn't my favourite Mayhem album... didn't even say I disliked it, just said it's not my favourite. But I agree overall Mayhem is just definitely not one of the best 2nd wave BM bands overall, personally I don't think they have a single amazing album, just good-really good.

Anything by Metallica post 1988

British Steel: the rage. Best song in the album long with Grinder.

I hate Mayhem so I'm not mad
