THIS. Not everyone's cup of tea perhaps, but their arrangements and recording techniques are quite impeccable

If your favorite metal band was only listening to metal, they would most likely have cranked out much inferior albums

Wow. I had heard of them so I went to check 'em out...wow...they wrote the same song 27 times and gave it different titles. And I know punk/hardcore is known for short songs, but 10 seconds is just stupid. 21 songs under one minute. Weak

It seems to me they think everything is gay.

That picture is so totally fascinating to me. I don't know why.
I can't help but wonder the circumstances under which it was shot and if it was a goof or it's as horribly real as I imagine - if not more. It makes me kind of shut down with disgusted wonder and a sickening... something that I can't think of the word for right now but it's not good...

Why would you expect anyone with a human soul NOT to connect to different types of music, lyrical imagery, emotions, etc.?
There's no single metal guy that is all hate and darkness and anger and cool *all* the time so stfu about it.

anal coont isn't even music. no, really, i love grindcore, and seth putnam started that band just to make noise. pig destroyer is ill as hell and i DARE you to try to play one of those songs at that tempo... also, NASUM and discordance axis...
and check out anal coont's acoustic album, "picnic of love," because it's farking hilarious. there's a song called "i respect your feelings as a woman and a human" that gets me every time.

Nail shiatter is also an awesome grindcore band, and just the band name alone makes people cringe.

Im more a deathmetal fan my self. Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Morbid Angel..etc etc.

slipknot is the cancer that is eating the metal genre into an over commercialized and sad shell of it's true former glory.

I have very few CDs that don't have loud distorted guitars on them. ABBA's greatest hits is one of them.

I got a 45 of 'SOS' with my first record player at age five. I turned to more metallic music over the years, but the ABBA love never faded...

I'm somewhat confused because although I think Slipknot is awful, they at least sometimes have a melody or a chorus for people to get into. Music doesn't always need that, but Slipknot doesn't have anything else of merit to offer. I don't get Cannibal Corpse though. It's hilarious to me, the idea that anyone could take it seriously at all, and yet people take it REALLY seriously. Every song is about gory nonsense that you can't understand. I like Black Sabbath and Sleep and Motorhead and Boris so I'm not adverse to heavy music, but CC seems like a parody of music. Is it really enjoyable listening to what sounds like Transformers f*cking while the Cookie Monster growls about a woman being f*cked with a maggot-covered knife? It's not shocking, if that's the point, because the overkill actually manages to make all the gore a combination of funny and mundane.

I loved slipknot until about a couple of years ago. I still think they're cool but I'd rather listen to stone sour now. Say what you will about the music, but Corey Taylor is an awesome singer when they slow down enough for him to actually sing instead of just scream.

No, Cookie Monster singing is destroying metal. All those 'great bands' from before? They farking belted it out, they didn't hide behind copious amounts of growling.

Considering the disproportionally large number of metal bands from Scandinavia, Abba's influence should surprise no one.

/Generally rather disappointed with most US metal. The audience doesn't seem to be into metal that much, so bands over there have to either go "nu" or make fonkin' Christmas music

Are you kidding? Ihnsahn? If anything he is the perfect example of the metal singer who grew beyond his metal roots. Sure a lot of the avante garde stuff he does now is kick ass, but he has definitely grown beyond his satanic black metal lyrics.

/Still is an Ihnsahn fanboy

Why does it not surprise me that a slipknot fan would also like stone sour.

Oh, that's right, you have to have a lack of musical taste to enjoy either one.

Slipknot is only noteworthy for one song, and it's all shiat otherwise..

 
Raijer [TotalFark] 2009-05-01 06:28:05 PM  
I like both Slipknot and Abba, but I'm not going to get into any kind of debate on the merits, plus or minus, of either band here. This thread's already been reduced by idiots into the typical "my band/genre/age group is cooler than yours." Wake up. Music isn't a farking contest.

 
groverXIII 2009-05-01 06:47:40 PM  
Slipknot pretty much sucks. I was able to listen to their last album a few times, and it had some decent stuff on it, but they're still horribly overrated.

/Been listening to a lot of Opeth, Cynic, Obscura, Gojira, and Eluveitie lately... among other things.

Cookie monster bands are just expanding the genre, they are supplying the demand for even heavier music. They are not destroying the scene.

Nasum was the grindcore king. No doubt about it. Glad you mentioned them. Still in heavy (daily) rotation in my stereo. Not really impressed with many other grindcore bands, though, for lack of good lyrical content, excessive politicking, or uncreative song writing (I can actually tell one Nasum song from another :)

Still think you're selling Slipknot short. Maybe you just didn't hear them under the circumstances of life (anger, stress, depression, alienation, drunk/high, etc.) that I was going through when I first heard them. Oh well.
