Response: 10 Terrible Metal Albums (That aren't St. Anger) 

@@BBQcheese The F and G albums are underrated.

@@BBQcheese G album is what Domination should have been. Total devastation of the earth at the hands of the ancient ones.

Necrotic Nick- So fucking agreed.

Kingdoms Disdained rips and got me into the band. Rips live, too, but that might be because Morbid Angel is so good.

F is one of the best Death Metal Albums, its the Nile Version of Morbid Angel

I enjoyed Five Finger Death Punch.

Agreed! Aside from a handful of covers and two originals, one of which is an instrumental, I can't fucking stand FFDP.

I like 5fdp ngl

@@heavymetalcompilations4784 totally valid my dude. Nothing wrong with having a different preference :)

i will absolutely agree aside from their debut album which is not bad

Especially Nightmares of the Decomposed! That album SUCKS!

Not the first two. Those are both dope.

Hey now you can leave Haunted out of it that albums awesome

Necrotic Nick- I left Six Feet Under off since I only own Haunted and to be honest that's a decent album.

Except Undead and Unborn

Agreed. Whoracle is the album that got me into harsh vocals and it’s really a bummer how far they’ve fallen.

Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough I started with Reroute to Remain when that dropped and worked my way backwards and found the stuff I really latched on to. Once the sound really started shifting on A Sense of Purpose I was getting more hesitant about buying new albums from them. Siren Charms pretty much just shit in my heart though.

@@thrallsofmetal That's a fair assessment. For me the Lunar Strain through Clayman era is great. The Reroute to Remain through Come Clarity era is good. A Sense of Purpose through Siren Charms I wasn't really enjoying but was still trying to force myself to like them. Battles and I, the Mask are just so awful that I've completely given up.

I can stand some of the later in flames catalogue(up to sounds of a playground at the absolute latest) but pretty much solely because I enjoy the guitar parts on songs like drenched in fear and tilt. They sound like a weird hybrid of metalcore, melodeath and alt rock in their 2006 plus stuff. I actually noticed how much Anders friden sounds like Olly Sykes(bring me the horizon) when he sings certain parts (like in the bridge of all for me on sounds of a playground) Def not the melodic death giants they once were

The Jester Race

The only reason I've ever heard people site for hating Diabolus is that it is down tuned. Really? Cant handle that? Great fuckin album, saw them twice on that tour, it was great. Why the hate though? It is SLAYER, it is heavy, and Bostaph is a monster. Faster doesnt necessarily mean better.

I actually Diablous - I enjoyed it when it came out and recently picked up a vinyl copy which meant I listened to it again and yeah it is no way near as bad as everyone likes to make out! I remember seeing them playing Stain of Mind live around the time and it was great live. I like Bitter Peace too.....

Necrotic Nick- I think Diabolus is better than St. Anger and Risk. It's kind of a tie with Vol. 8 or Stomp 442 though for me. Still, not great.

Nu Metal Slayer is pretty good? 🤣👍

Diabolus is a great album..yes it was different but so what? Nothing is wrong with change, I'd say everything after GHUA is when slayer started phoning it in. But at this point slayer was still killing it. All the reasons this guy is giving for not liking it just tells me he's a close minded purest that thinks anything past 1989 is automatically trash

Necrotic Nick- Dude, I chugged an entire 2 liter of Mt Dew while skate boarding through a mall while listening to it... and still I failed them. Mark my words, Cowboy Vincent: Dread Lord of the Radicultian Wastelands, I will one day be too extreme for even you!!!!

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I had to go with the turds I owned for this and there is no way in hell I'm buying that last Six Feet Under dumpster fire. I have Haunted and I think I'll just stick with that one honestly.

Necrotic Nick- I loved both of those EP's so I'm hopeful for a legit banger of a new album.

Same here. I’m one of those guys who loves the Self Titled album and the ep’s were a great blast. I didn’t hate And Then You’ll Beg but I definitely was feeling fatigue before their self-titled album. The new singles are good so hopefully we get something badass

Necrotic Nick- I kinda agree there especially with the Lars' snare and Barnes vocals comparison. lol

Yeah.... I'll agree. The newest 6FU is one of the worst metal albums I've heard in years and years. It's horrid

Ummagumma is excellent. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered in a Cave Grooving With a Pict is such a trippy ass war battle song

The studio side is kinda meh on Umma Gumma, but the live side is excellent! I have a soft spot for Virtual XI, and I din't think Nostradamus is thaaat bad (it's meh often times), but other than that... yup. I hate Lulu, and I'm even a Lou Reed Fan!

the live stuff on Ummagumma is pretty decent, but the actual studio material is boring to the point of tears in my opinion. I know it has it's fans, I've just never understood it myself

Love that one too...just saying....

THE best death metal album

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I had just got it the day before so I figured why not rep something I like since I was talking about terrible albums. Loathing was where I got into them but I love the old grime drenched stuff from the early years. The last album was pretty solid too.

Necrotic Nick- I linked MetalMickey’s channel in the video description. I can link Jurgen’s too.

Looks like the message was received. Glad to see this "righted"

Necrotic Nick- I legit didn’t know but I hope they get some subs out of it.

Necrotic Nick- No problem, man! I hope you find some killer new jams there too, bro!

And in that ranking of Morbid Angel's albums, Necrotic said "Which is Latin for DUMPSTER FIRE!"

It's the drizzling shits.

Necrotic Nick- Part of me died when I listened to that the day I got it. I'll never get that time wasted back. lol

Fuck yeah. Stand up for DIABOLUS. POINT was killer, the rest of it was good enough. Saw them twice in one week on that tour.

Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough, I was in my nu metal phase when I got Diabolus but that wasn't what I wanted from Slayer. I wanted that hyper aggressive fast sound again because that was kinda my escape from a lot of the more groove centric metal that was out then. Bitter Peace is a banger and Scrum and Point are decent but the rest of it is a really lackluster listen. It just felt like all the energy had left the band for the most part and they'd been bucking trends for years but here they were settling in one. Yeah, it's still not for me.

@@thrallsofmetal Yeah, I suppose in light of some of the other songs on the record I can see your point though I do really like Stain of Mind. I just think that the several good tracks elevate it far past St. Anger territory. With that said I doubt this is anyone's go to Slayer record though. Anyways, thanks for doing what you guys do. I don't have any metal friends so your content is quite refreshing. Keep it up!

I agree. More than Nu Metal I think many of the tracks there are hard core inspired (lots of Biohazard influences especially on Stain Of Mind, Love To Hate, Wicked and Screaming From The Sky). On the other hand there's a couple of Nu Metal drum lines here and there (Death's Head is a blatant example although I kinda like the song) and others that mix some of the whispered intros with some elements of Divine Intervention (namely Desire and Overt Enemy). Other than that the remainder is pretty much in Divine's vein with In The Name Of God, Point and Scrum being cool enough songs as far as I'm concerned. Then there's Bitter Peace and man... this song wrecks everything in it's path. After the intro this is pristine top notch Seasons In The Abyss like Slayer and has a place in my band's top ten songs. So do I think Diabolus is a great album?... well not quite. IMO it lacks some consistency and there are too many songs I regard as fillers rendering it a bit uneven. On the other hand it features some great moments here and there, the Hard Core influence does not shock me and to be fair Slayer was the band that changed the least during the 90's from the so called big 4. IMO God Hates Us All (with the exception of Disciple, New Faith and Payback - all good songs) sounds way more Nu Metal to me (plus I really dislike its guitar sound) and apart from the songs I mentioned is absolutely dull. Not to mention Repentless that IMO is a void of ideas and a drag to listen for more than a couple of songs. But even those two albums aren't garbage per se. Only drop dead boring.

@@carlosjantarada7212 Yeah, I've never even considered this album to be nu metal. Definitely more hardcore/punk influence than anything. I mean they did just do that cover album just before this. Maybe that should be on this list, lol.

Yes, Blades For Baal is one of their best songs ever imo. Just imagine it on Covenant or Domination and it would blend right in. But yeah, just make it an EP: Existo Vulgoré Blades for Baal 10 More Dead Nevermore

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I pretty much got them in the same order when the Century Media reissues came out and I was pretty disappointed as well. Really says something about the album when you open with a cover song. All those moaned vocals really started irritating me after awhile too. We still give Jon a bit of shit for that ranking especially Cold Lake.

Necrotic Nick- I definitely agree that it doesn't fit in Judas Priest's discography. It honestly feels more like a Rob Halford solo project because his voice is the only think Judas Priest about that album. Honestly, out of that entire list I do like that Raunchy album. The 80's pop meets metalcore/ melodeath thing kinda works for me on that one.

Necrotic Nick- I kept it because I kept trying to find something I loved other than Bitter Peace on it. Scrum and Point have their moments but man... there are a lot of turds on that one.

That was the first Slayer album I bought...

@@thrallsofmetal yes.....I did too. It opens with bitter peace and gives you a false sense of hope for the rest. The only other track I can tolerate is "in the name of god".....

Yeah that album released right on or near my 15th birthday, by the time the school year started I traded it for a dime bag of weed

One day i was listening Diabolous in musica while i was driving in my car trying to get into, suddenly i eject the cd and threw it out the window with so much hate🤣

lol Van Halen III, forgot that existed...

Man I remember when Against came out. Nothing was more disappointing.

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I'd say those are all certifiable stinkers.

Necrotic Nick- I'm not sitting through 9 albums worth of Psycho Trash and we're probably skipping Bullet for My Valentine too. You forgot new albums from Deceased, Chruchburn, Extinction A.D., Heads for the Dead, Mortiferum, Outre Tombe and Scarecrow too.

Not to be an elitist but, really? Psycho Sinner? I didn’t know that band had actual fans. Who the hell releases 9 albums on the same day? As for BFMV, they are as generic as metalcore comes. The only interesting thing they’ve done is Scream Aim Fire which was an admirable attempt at combining metalcore with thrash, but it had already been done way better by Trivium on their Crusade album. And that barely had any metalcore elements.

Oof

@@The_JustJoshing Only Psycho Synner would do such a thing! Another band that's releasing a large amount of albums in November is Lordi. That band will release a box set of 7 studio albums on November 26th called Lordiversity.

That's a good idea

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We really appreciate that. Both of those we'd love to rank eventually. I believe Exhumed have been working on new material too.

Necrotic Nick- Not really hate. I'm just being honest about how I feel about it. It's a bad album in my opinion. Outside of a couple of tracks it lacks pretty much everything I loved about Slayer to that point. It's easily my least favorite album they put out.

It was they're delve into nu-metal, they gave into the trend when it was at it's height in 1998. It was definitely a low-point in they're career compared to the other masterpieces from the 80s.

Diabolus in Musica is "metal" for people with an IQ of 57...

@matt lol

Heavy trash sucks

Coroner - The Unknown is an unreleased compilation album.

Even though Vol 8 is probably the worst Anthrax album, I don’t really think it’s that bad compared to other bands’ low points. And I actually like Stomp 442.

Necrotic Nick- I actually really dig both of the Atrocity Exhibition albums especially the 2nd one.

Necrotic Nick- I suppose that it depends on what albums it's being compared to.

You must be Lars Ulrich. St Anger and The Industrial Morbid Angel album are by far the 2 worse in the history of Metal. Bathory - Octagon runs a close third

Necrotic Nick- It's one I've tried repeatedly to go back and give it another chance but it really doesn't do much for me at all. There's a few moments that are OK but I don't think they were all on the same page when they wrote that one.

Nick - The Oracle of Metal !

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! While it's not much of my thing now I did really love a lot of nu metal when I was younger and some of it still holds up pretty well in my opinion. That's one of the things I love about metal, there are so many different avenues to explore within that one genre and I love checking out new stuff or just stuff that's new to me. I'm a giant nerd even outside of metal. You should see my Godzilla collection. lol. Take care, man!

@@thrallsofmetal Big respect for you for saying that some Nu-Metal is okay. As a huge Nu-Metal fan I have big respect for traditional Metal in general, most traditional Metal is a bit too different for me to like but I do love Symphonic Metal with bands like Epica and early Within Temptation. Extreme Metal is far too abrasive for me, I respect it but it’s not for me. You probably wouldn’t like a lot of Nu-Metal that i like as I like the more Rap or Latin influenced stuff, but tbh Nu-Metal made its own fanbase that weren’t Metal fans or even Rap fans, I wasn’t a Metal or a Rap fan but I’ve grown to have a huge respect for Metal and Rap (good 90’s Rap that is, not the modern shit). I have a big respect for Metal, I just wished more traditional Metal fans try to understand and have even just a little bit of respect for Nu-Metal like you at least do.

I love Tattooed Millionaire. Sure, it’s more hard rock than metal, but it’s got a bunch of great tracks. I’m a big fan of We’ve Come For You All as well! And Souls of Black isn’t as good as some other Testament albums but it’s still damn good IMO.

Just about to say, I like your list, all but "Tattooed Millionaire". Oh well, cant agree on everything. Fuckin BLACK album still gets the controversy going, Most folks I share taste with love JUSTICE but felt the burn and betrayal on the follow up. It's because I was so excited and hopeful. Lol.

Necrotic Nick- Honestly, I love Testament's Souls of Black and We Have Come for You All has some solid tracks on it. The Black Album exists and I never have to listen to it again. Do those count as compliments? lol. I haven't listened to that Bruce Dickinson album so I can't say anything about it but I agree with the rest of them.

@@thrallsofmetal Nick, if you’re in the mood for some late 80s-style hard rock sometime then you’d probably like Tattooed Millionaire. Just don’t go into it expecting metal or anything that sounds like Maiden (except the vox obviously).

Also, hoooooly hell man! Decided to check out Dislocated Styles... that album is so bad I'm pretty much speechless! This has got to be one of the worst albums I've ever heard. There's not a single positive thing I can say about it. It's up there with Celtic Frost's Prototype

Necrotic Nick- I think Diabolus is probably one of the most defended ones on this list but for me the best part of the album is turning it off after Bitter Peace. There's a couple of other decent tracks but it's just a bland album with no energy to it. Yeah, that Dislocated Styles is fucking atrocious even by nu metal standards. That album actually made Crazy Town sound competent... in comparison. That's it. Just complete and utter garbage.

@@thrallsofmetal 'Bland' is a pretty good description of DiM. And oh man, Crazytown 😂 So much bad music from that era!

Necrotic Nick- To each their own, but for me they just tried to write a Katatonia album and missed big time. I wanted it to be great because In Flames has such a huge influence on my tastes for awhile but this is where they really lost me.

@@thrallsofmetal yeah I see your point. Albums like Clayman, Colony and Whoracle are among my favorites as well, but something about Siren Charms just strikes a chord

Necrotic Nick- I liked the industrial thrash years from Ministry with Houses of the Mole, Rio Grande Blood and The Last Sucker but the quality drop off after that was pretty bad.

Necrotic Nick- As much as I love Grave that album is almost completely unlistenable for me. I've gone back quite a few time with that one and I still can't get into it all.

Necrotic Nick- Dude, I love and hate that chocolate cake comparison. It's brilliant but I almost threw up in my mouth a bit reading that. lol.

people like distance and tunnidge can put metal influences in there and make it work, but i feel like korn are an abomination to start with and when you add another abomination like skrillex in there its beyond terrible.

Necrotic Nick- I jumped on board with Reroute to Remain which I still enjoy for the most part and worked my way backwards in 2002. It felt like every release after that was getting more geared for singles but at least Soundtrack to You Escape and Come Clarity still retained a lot of their trademark sound. I think A Sense of Purpose was the beginning of the end.

@@thrallsofmetal I agree with you on that one dude. I won't be getting any of their new work but if they make an album that sounds a lot like their old stuff with a bit of a Reroute to Remain sound I will be more than happy to buy it. Also just to let you know I managed to snag an original pressing of The Jester Race on CD which I'm really happy about, that's 1 out of 5 I have only 4 more to go.

Necrotic Nick- I think with any longevity in music you're going to have missteps along the way. Maybe buckling to trends, label pressure or just simply phoning in a performance it does tend to happen. Occasionally bands will just shit the bed like Morbid Angel did though. lol. As for that last abomination, it's one of the few things I would say Crazy Town is better than. Yeah, that bad.

Necrotic Nick- Diabolus is still my least favorite Slayer album and it really hasn't aged well. There are some decent songs on it like Bitter Peace but when it's bad it's pretty damn bad on that one. Unseen possibly could have been good but I don't think the band was all in on the change in musical direction honestly. It felt like they wanted to make a Katatonia album but missed the mark. I'm glad they got Marco back and got back to business.

Necrotic Nick- I thought about it but I decided to save that rant for when we rank Entombed's albums after we do Incantations. lol

I would agree with you on that fact! St Anger might be only in my top 30 for worst rock/metal albums. Other bands released crap too, you know.

Necrotic Nick- Well, I hope you're alright. I don't want shitty album art make you end up in the hospital. lol

Necrotic Nick- Agreed. The brain is strange the way it holds on to negative memories harder that it does with positive ones and these shitty albums are still in my brain... and my collection because I can't seem to part with them. Glutton for musical punishment I guess. lol

Thanks man, I bought em. Felt kind of like, " ok. They are kind of all right" I wanted to like them, but it just sounds like a great band running out of gas. Good to know I'm not way off.

Necrotic Nick- I actually like Used Future but I wasn't a huge fan of High Country. There was a little too much ZZ Top worship and not enough flat out rockers. Granted I love ZZ Top but it was a little too close to home.

Necrotic Nick- I'll have to check that one out. The name... oddly intrigues me. lol

Necrotic Nick- Even those I think are just OKish to be honest. Covenant was the peak in my opinion but Formulas and Gateways were fucking sick in my book. I'm still hopeful they have another banger in them for the future.

Necrotic Nick- Hey, if people find stuff they enjoy in this then more power to them. Taste is all subjective so one person's trash can end up being another's treasure. That Dislocated Styles album needs to be buried in a landfill.

Necrotic Nick- Honestly, I didn't think of it as a theme really with the shirt. I had just got it in the mail and I wanted to show it off because I love it. lol

Tool?

Necrotic Nick- Man, that is tough but I would agree with Death though. I think Cannibal Corpse and Immolation's discographies are really solid too.

One more and how could I forget!! Gotsu Totsu Kotsu!! Japanese death metal with slap bass and a super-organic riffy sound. Quite thrashy. Five albums in and not a dunger in sight.

@@jmalinjapan7786 A good chunk of 10,000 days is pretty wank. But Vicarious, Rosetta Stoned and Right In Two make up for it.

Callenish Circle :) solid atmospheric melodeath, then they pivoted to industrial melodeath and still nailed it, then they added more electronic elements and STILL nailed it.

Necrotic Nick- They were TOO EXTREME, BROTHER!!! lol

Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I don’t own that one but I’ve jammed it years ago just to hear it and wow… pretty rough. Pretty rough when even your own daughter won’t defend it but Cancer has some flat out classics though and the newest one was pretty solid. I thought about throwing that Morgoth album in but I already had my 10 together at that point. That album is pretty bad though.

Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I'm sure Nuclear Blast was super thrilled with all that bullshit too. lol

Necrotic Nick- St. Anger may be the reason I despise the "slam metal snare" so much because that's all I can here is that trash can bullshit snare from St. Anger. Garbage production all around, not a single solo to be found, cringe lyrics... this really checked off a lot of boxes for "terrible album" right away. I vaguely remember the "crabcore" thing... it's probably for the best though. lol

@@thrallsofmetal Hahaha, crabnesia is a blessing.

Necrotic Nick- I actually own a copy of The Room on DVD and it's more enjoyable than that shitshow of an album lol. Diabolus seems to get more defense than the others on this list but it's still a turkey to me. While Undisputed Attitude wasn't great it at least wasn't their own material they did a poor job on (minus Gemini which is awful). I agree though that the mid to late 90's was a rough time for a lot of metal acts from the 80's and early 90's. yeah, I was dumb enough to snag that Dislocated Styles just because it had the Roadrunner stamp on it... pretty damn naïve of me. lol

@@thrallsofmetal I agree Diabolus is a turkey, but at least it was basted and fully cooked. 😂 It's weak for Slayer certainly.

I defend Anathema to death but with Distant Satellites I gave up. I just couldn’t anymore. Getting close to that with all new Leprous records.

I think Distant Satellites is pretty great. And I found Berserker to be a refreshing album, it’s actually less “samey” than most of Amon Amarth’s discography (even though I like Amon Amarth I really can hardly differentiate most of their albums).

​@@magellan1000 I actually thought the same thing when it first came out. I was pretty let down by Jomsviking and was desperate for its followup to be better. At face value, it did seem to fix some of those "problems" initially, but now that I've had time to let it sink in, I think it's even worse, the epitome of "paint by numbers" metal...dull, bland, uninspired and lacking any creative vitality. Disagree about *most* of their albums being samey, each album had a pretty definitive identity down to Twilight..., but afterwards it did get a bit repetitive. In that sense, Berzerker might stand out a tad from the bunch, but only as a creative nadir.

@@DefenestratedMessiah I’ll have to spin Berserker again and see if it has aged poorly for me as well. And I think they’re a cool band so I don’t mean to knock them… It’s just to me personally most of their music blurs together.

Necrotic Nick- Agreed on both points honestly. Maybe if Diabolus was done by a different band I'd feel differently. Nostradamus is just a long snooze fest though.

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, that circuit is probably going to stay incomplete.

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah, I really wanted to get some of the shittiest ones I could find for this one. I figured there were going to be some universal ones for sure especially Morbid Angel... one the biggest "WTF is this horseshit" albums I've ever bought.

@@thrallsofmetal Honesty can't say I wasn't expecting that MA record. Not sure what kind of fan base they were looking to get. Ha

Necrotic Nick- Very cheap ones I got at a Walgreens.

Yeah man! A conflicting Slayer opinion! Its good to read, kind of sick of the lock step" we all agree this was the best, and this sucks" perspectives. Slayer is one of my favorite bands ever, but the fans seem to be a tunnel-visioned bunch.

@@saltpeter7429 I love me some Slayer. I have fond memories attached to every song on all of their albums up to God Hates us all. I was fortunate enough to see them on both legs of their farewell tour here in Texas and then in Florida . oh, and definitely 4 to 5 other times including my first time at Ozzfest way back in 1999 . Thank you for taking the time to comment so I know that we are the only Slayer fans who watched this video ..

Necrotic Nick- Diabolus was the fist Slayer album I bought the day it came out and yeah, it disappointed the hell out me. I've given it a lot of chances but it's still a giant dud to me. I think God Hates Us all was better but the more true return to form for me was Christ Illusion. I still dig that album a lot. Different strokes for different folks though.

Christ Illusion & God Hates Us All are definitely the worst Slayer albums.

@@thrallsofmetal I definitely agree that music taste is unique to the individual . I'm just glad I commented on this video because I've listened Divine, Diabolus, God hates,and Christ illusion back to back to back trying to understand the dislike and I think Its that divine intervention and Diabolus was them trying to find a new sound and slowly started turning in a new direction that was still heavy and most importantly Sounded like Slayer to them and the fans. They couldn't just keep pumping ot Reign in blood so they started to experiment with sound and effects on the guitar on divine , for example at 1:45 on fictional reality that swimming guitar almost sounds like it belongs in a cannibal corpse song. Then on Diabolus it seems like Tom Araya is kind of in the spotlight on most of the songs and they are flowing in and out of the Trash metal box they grew so comfortable in. You can hear the seed being planted from the Stain of mind , overt enemy, perversions of pain, and love to hate you. That's a solid block of Slayer and why I love Diabolus In Musica. It totally bleeds into God hates up till their last album. I guess maybe I'm just not a good critic and I'm rambling on , but does this make any sense to anyone?

Necrotic Nick- I thought about throwing in Back from the Dead and Load/ Reload but I already had my list together. Thankfully I don’t own the last Six Feet Under and honestly I love Sound of Perseverance despite it being my least favorite Death album. Us and Them had some moments but not many.

Necrotic Nick- While I appreciate both In Flames and Grave's earlier works (actually a pretty fair amount of Grave recent stuff too) both of those really missed for me. Hating Life sounded like a completely different band and just turned their sound into kinda faceless groove metal and In Flames essentially was a different band at that point. After Jesper left the fold the quality of the releases from In Flames really dropped for me and as many times as I've tried to give Siren Charms a chance it's still not my thing. With Slayer, at least Undisputed Attitude was just a cover album minus the abysmal Gemini, but Diabolus was all their writing. As a punk fan I can at least appreciate those covers for what they are.

@@thrallsofmetal yeah I can completely understand what you mean! I forgot to say that I got into In Flames and Grave when they had already released a bunch of albums. I think you can have a completely different point of view when you listened to the band from the very starting point. Yes you‘re right, Slayer did good cover versions on this one, but it‘s not my thing, although the band is one of my all time favorites. Your video was so great, can‘t wait for the next to come 😃

Necrotic Nick- No hate, bro. lol. I get what they were trying to go for on that one with the stripped down groove metal sound but man... it's pretty damn awful in my opinion. Being a metal band in the mid to late 90's was hell though and there was a lot of the whole "fight to remain relevant" since the trend was kind of to shit on metal at the time. Those Dismember and Entombed releases while not great, I think were a bit better. I still love the title track on To Ride but most of that album is just a weaker Wolverine Blues to me. Thanks again for checking out the vids, man!

You all have no idea what going from Burn My Eyes / More Things Change to the From This Day video was like. Supercharger made Burning Red seem like a solid album. Some old school dude told me he cried when he heard Youthanasia so I guess it was like that.

Dude, mad respect for actually making it through Nostradamas; I couldnt do it. I finished Demolition but couldnt do the same with that awful rock opera.

@@BBQcheese I’m right leaning but don’t judge or listen to artists based on their political positions. I’ll cheer at GWAR shows when they kill Trump or Obama. All entertainment. Last two Machine Head albums are awful but the new EP was great. Good course correction there.

Necrotic Nick- It's kinda of a toss up between Catharsis and Supercharger for me because they're both just flat out terrible albums. Thankfully, I only own Supercharger though. lol. I made it through Nostradamus about 2 times and then to the shelf with a ton of regret it went.

Wait, but what's wrong with Nevermore's last album?

@@mkrrusak7116 They had a nasty breakup after that album and I just don't think the quality holds compared to the rest of the catalog. I just think they lost it on this album. I never return to it. It's a massive dip in quality to me.

Necrotic Nick- For awhile I was pretty ride or die with The Haunted and while Versus wasn't their best it was still pretty solid. I thought The Dead Eye was a cool, more experimental album too and that's kinda what I thought I might get with Unseen. What I got was pretty damn close to Unlistenable. I thought about throwing Transgression from Fear Factory on this one but I already had a lot in the running. I think that one is way worse than Digimortal honestly. I was fortunate to finally see Slayer in '04 when Dave came back and they were back to ripping it up then. When I saw them before at Tattoo the Earth they didn't play much of anything from Diabolus. Yeah, In Flames is pretty much dead to me now as well. I don't think they have it in them to write another classic sounding album again.
