Still putting out decent-to-good albums, but I really feel like MERIT must have written the lyrics for the songs on their last album.

Megadeth - Lying in State

^I thought Dystopia was their best album since Countdown to Extinction. The hooks and melodies on that album are some of Megadeth's best in years, and I personally love the lyrics. Say what you will, but Mustaine is an excellent songwriter. This opening bassline screams classic Megadeth:

Currently listening to:

The best Queensryche album, and still one of the most unique albums I've ever heard. I'm probably talking about atmosphere too much in this thread, but this album ****ing nails the cold, apocalyptic, and futuristic sound.

I've basically liked their 4 last albums quite a bit. I feel like people judged Super Collider mostly on the sub-par single, but there was some pretty cool songs on that album imo

Dystopia has grown on me a lot. I didn't like it much in the beginning, actually, but it does have a lot of memorable songs and they're more different from each other than I expected.

Arch. Enemy. Suck. At the very least with Gossow they've always been overproduced, sterile, and just ****ing lame. Like I imagine what Carcass would have sounded like if Swansong had never been recorded and Michael Amott had replaced all the other members of the band who remember being in a grindcore band so he could write a bunch of nifty weedly weedly bull**** with the simulation of balls. Cause that's what Arch Enemy is.

Ehhh... I'm not gonna put too much energy into defending the band, but I definitely think Carcass is boring trash with or without Amott.
Arch Enemy before Angela was a 4/10 band.
Arch Enemy with Angela was a 6/10 band.
Arch Enemy with Alyssa is a 7.5/10 band.

Yeah but you're stupid. Make sense?

~~MicShazam~~ · 11-01-2018, 02:50 PM

I've got endless hot takes to make metalheads hate me. Guess there's another thread for that.

The Batlord · 11-01-2018, 02:52 PM

Bruh not even Heartwork? What about At the Gates? They're definitely more expressive and Slaughter of the Soul is god-tier.

Okay, I love Doomsday Machine, but I'll never try and say that Arch Enemy was ever better than Carcass. Necroticism is one of the holy classics of death metal:

I eat holy cow for breakfast.
