Metal Thread 3: Subjectivity isn't Metal

[Galborea]

Is it obsessive to organize my Judas Priest playlist by album and song order on said albums? I sure hope it's not...

No. I have them sorted like that too. But then again I use Windows Media Player, it sorts them like that automatically

My Spotify does that too.

What would you guys consider an underrated song by a band you like? You know, a killer track, that's just not very talked about in their repertoire.

I find Pinball Map talked about a fair bit honestly. It's my favorite song off of Clayman. But seriously why don't people talk about how phenomenal Global Warming is? It's a perfect ending to the album.

Black Sabbath - Megalomania is the first one that comes to mind. Whole bunch of songs from the first four Pantera albums, top three being probably Takin' My Life, Biggest Part of Me and Ride My Rocket.

Well I think most people don't even really know In Flame's glory days anyway. Global Warming is probably my favorite Gojira song by a long shot, it's just so good.

Angel's Decay the best song ever made.

[The New Sea Territory]

Teaser for Vykhor's new album (Atmospheric/Folk Black from Ukraine)

Comes out in two days.

[Cosumar]

Spoilers for a future video of mine: The In Flames album review in November will be violent.

What if the rest of it aside from the singles turns out to actually pretty good?

Cattle Decap - "A Living Breathing Piece of Defecated Meat"
Nile - "Lashed to the Slave Stick"

Completely agree with these Opeth and In Flames picks (Behind Space!!!), but I'm pretty sure for Cattle Decap and Nile that those are both in their, like, top three most-popular songs. Still great though.

Everybody talks about with Cattle Forced Gender Reassignment, Kingdom of the Tyrants, and anything off Anthropocene. While with Nile it seems like Sarcophagus, Cast Down the Heretic, and Black Seeds of Vengeance are some of their classics.

[Calimama]

Don't know if anyone else has heard this, but, some cool doom metal.

[Cosumar]

It doesn't really matter, but I confirmed my suspicion. According to Last.fm, Slave Stick is Nile's 3rd most-played song, and Defecating Meat is Cattle Decap's 2nd most-played.

Here are some underrated gems that come to my mind for bands not yet named:
Anthrax - In My World
At The Gates - The Break of Autumn
Avenged Sevenfold - Remenissions
Blind Guardian - The Martyr, A Dark Passage
Dark Tranquillity - Tongues
Draconian - The Cry of Silence
Ensiferum - Väinämöinen Saga (Old Man/Little Dreamer)

[Jolthig]

My most Favorite to least favorite Machine Head albums from top to bottom.

I never even thought that. And I fucking love both bands.

Well, at least The Blackening is in the top half... My #2 is your #1 though

Pretty sure Defecating Meat was the lead single from Monolith. But speaking of Slave Stick, here's an impeccable full-band cover featuring one of my favorite YouTube metal musicians on vocals (Blix).

Last night I had a dream once again that I was in a metal band playing guitar.

Yes, it's a really good album. If people wonder why I have the Burning Red on there is because I think it's an excellent experimental album. I think they did the nu metal in that album, GOOD although I made Supercharger my least favorite because I think they got a bit lazy with their music making.

Yeah, I get those dreams too. Especially when I have a 7-string M-17 electric guitar by me.

I don't own or even know how to play a guitar

If I see that kind of dream again, I guess I just have to buy one and learn to play it

For me it's vocals.

Since Polska, Bod, and Cosumar enjoyed it here's a cover of Holy Wars The Punishment Due this was a one off non-serious cover that I did with my serious Dave voice. So that's my excuse for fucking up the first verse. Please enjoy the cringy air guitaring and head banging

Every time I listen to Megadeth my opinion on Dave's voice drops.
