It was pretty nice tbh. I was very impressed. Not over the moon but I've been not over the moon about plenty of pop music I became over the moon about. At the very least it was definitely fun.

my favorite pop albums of 2018 would also qualify as earworms rn

I'm saying this counts

Couldn't agree more. Not only that, but the productions are so slick and overpolished that there is absolutely zero point of any riffs actually being there. If you're going to play like a pop band, don't try and pretend to be a metal band.
I'm just gonna be of the opinion that metalheads who entirely dismiss modern metal are no different than some guy who complains rock music doesn't sound like Zeppelin anymore.

I mean, whatever floats people's boats.

Specifically about that Amaranthe song though, I think the " If you're going to play like a pop band, don't try and pretend to be a metal band" line is pretty damn weird. You make the rules of metal? They're not "pretending" anything. They're doing a thing, if anything, without pretensions. Get your head out of your boring 80's metal elitist butt.

No, I don't make the rules of metal, but you've got to draw the line somewhere. What elements of metal does Amaranthe have? They have growls and generic power metal riffs, but everything else about them is pop. So they technically have metal elements, but I personally would never consider them to be metal and they don't feel like a metal band to me. To each their own, I don't care if people like them.

"boring 80's metal elitist" I didn't know that could be applied to someone who's a fan of a lot of nu metal bands and considers Blue Cheer, Gun, and Golden Earring to be metal before Black Sabbath.

and before an argument starts about "you only consider stuff you like metal", Limp Bizkit is metal. They suck, but I would never try and argue that they aren't a metal band.

Metal drumming, metal riffs, metal vocals. Plus they're not really doing anything that hasn't been seen in all sorts of other metal bands for 20+ years, except for the riff style, which is more current.

"No, I don't make the rules of metal, but you've got to draw the line somewhere"

I draw that line at bands that don't have metal elements.

Like Mumford & Sons.
