Testament came to my mind at first but then after thinking about it for a bit I honestly can't say any of their newer songs stand out as much as things like Practice What You Preach, Souls of Black etc .. yes the production is top notch and they are way heavier but I don't now nothing really stands out for me
yeah Opeth have really gone down the shitter after Blackwater Park
I understand many feel that way, but I can listen to heritage on straight through and have a great time. The earlier stuff, I love a lot of the music but just can't jive with the vocals. I like to sing like cookie monster sometimes too, my 2 yr old loves it... Probably a common thread of most bands I put on my list, they all always had great music, but I lose interest when I'm just getting screamed at, just like with my wife...
Pete was great, both playing and his vocal contributions. But Gina brings another element of greatness, she's a great player adds a little different vocal flavor and I think they write better songs with her. Maybe they haven't improved per se, just changed a bit and still as awesome as ever.
It’s my favorite. So raw and grindy . To me it was the most natural. Like them live
NIRATIUS is amazing IMO. The songwriting is great and the production is amazing IMO, but I would agree with you about the North Corridor and the one before it.
Man, The first Mr Bungle album is THE ONLY Mr Bungle album worth listening to. Disco Volante is just whack...
I get how you feel because t I just think it’s the best songs only . You’re right Msybe but for me it’s songs. Chuck just had a string sense of feelings coming through the speakers . The album hits me emotionally more
I like Niratius but feel like they’re too much filler.
I kinda disagree. Human is my favorite, but Symbolic and Sounds of Perseverance both kicked major ass. Definitely not inferior in any way than Human, just different, (still in a good way).
I dig the albums after Human as well. IMO Human was the perfect blend of technicality and brutality.
I like California the most. Disco Volante is definitely not for everyone. I used to take acid as a kid and listen to it a lot. I probably rate the first one as the lowest.
Agreed on California, but I feel Disco Volante is their worst. I like a couple songs, especially Ma Meeshka Mow Kwoz, it’s just a harder listen sober, as an album. I listened to their discography a couple weeks ago doing work trips from my house to Charlottesville.
Other than the few little short intro tracks I feel the album is pretty solid all the way through. I don't like "Endlessly" though, that's the only track I skip.
