I'm itching to get my hands on Heritage; Opeth's up coming release. Should be, if not the, best album of 2011.

ok...
anyway, back on topic; i decided to Risk it and give the new Morbid Angel album a listen to (well, one song) and it actually wasn't as atrocious as everybody says it is. it was actually pretty decent. I'll post the track i listened to in case anybody wants to laugh at my poor taste in metal

I don't get whats so awful about it... there's no clean vocals, no breakdowns, yet people ACT as if it's on par with The Unspoken King (which was essentially Cryptopsy's Suicide note
EDIT: not sayin i'm gonna buy or even download the album, but i was expecting something... worse, than this. Never been a big fan of Morbid Angel past Altars of Madness

There are good song on the album (Blades for Baal is awesome (the song was made by their new guitarist instead of David, while the rest were made by David)). But the majority of the album is just boring.

David should leave and Destructhor should take over.

As Far as i'm concerned, bands like Morbid Angel and others who have been around for more than 20 years just want to try something different. Now, as Far as people bitching about their music, i gurantee that the artists' themselves wouldnt give two fucks what people think. At The End of the day it's basically like this: Damned if you dont (stick with what works/sells records then people Bitch and say they are playing the same boring shit) and damned if you do (make new music then be labelled
"sell outs". This is all my opinion on it. If you dont like their music listen to something else. Not that hard is it now?
 
Edit: This isnt aimed at any of you guys

  1. isn't Trey, not David, responsible for songwriting ?
  2. ryan5 it's easy to say- listen to something else. I consider myself a big fan of MA, I love their every album, they are the essence of Death Metal for me. I could never understood why bands with a great status are changing their style and record shit. And I'm not bitching about this album. I'm bitching about the band because they have disappointed me so much. Just imagine that one of your favorites bands recorded total shit. It jus feels bad man. Fortunately there are still bands like (for example) Immolation, Asphyx or Deicide, which are active for many many years but are still able to play fucking great DM. Cheers

I agree, totally. You see, maybe these bands are tired (and getting on a bit) so hey, maybe Brutal isnt on their agenda anymore. Maybe they just want to enjoy playing music, and even if it is shit, would you be more dissapointed with one of, if not the best Death Metal band splits, or stays active? (People think that Metallica should have split after The Black album, but if they did, that would have meant that thousands of fans would not of seen a Metallica concert. I certainly wouldn't of, but the concert i Saw last year will remain with me forever. This would ultimately go for MA aswell)
There must be some good songs on their new album. (and Tim from DH has a fucking fast double bass, which, from what i've heard from MA, is "their" sound.)
 
Oh, and i dont see Opeth turning to shit anytime soon. We'll see on their new opus, Heritage. (And we'll see how their new keyboard/synth player goes. Maybe they recorded this new album with their old keyboard/synth player?)
 
Edit: oh yeah, In Flames would have to be the most controversial band in metal nowadays when it comes to turning to shit. You listen to Colony or The Jester Race compared to A sense of Purpose and, undoubtedly, Their new opus (which ive heard a song from via the Aussie metal channel, Triple J). All the "real" metalheads say that all their new stuff is shit. Fair enough its more like the new wave of melodic death than their older, rawer Melodic Death of old. But, i guess, being a teen i can adapt to their newer stuff as ive grew up liking bands like Blinded Colony, Dirge within (etc) who are of the NWMD genre. So listening to A sense of Purpose was "an easy pill to swallow".

I'm sorry, but In Flames is oneof the biggest shit-spewing metal bands around today.
Their music is extremely corny and all centered around teen Angst these days, and it doesn't feel genuine at all--it feels like they're doing it to market themselves and make money. They're a complete emocore band these days, and massive sellouts.
Even their old stuff wasn't that great... the only album I really like of theirs is Lunar Strain. Right now, they're defenitely a Nu Metal band.
I also find it weird that sometimes their session keyboardist makes the lead of a song, even though he's not even a member of the band. That, to me, is terrible songwriting on their part.
I've actually kinda had a little itching to make a rant/review on Come Clarity Ever Since I started writing reviews.

maybe its just me, but i think 2011 has been one of the most monumental years for Metal in the least decade... i don't think i'll be able to narrow Down my list to a top 10 compilation this year, there's just way too much good shit being released lately. new Origin album rules, can't stop listening to Tyr and Alestorm's new albums, Ghost and Kvelertak are probly 2 of the most innovative and "unique" sounding metal bands to come about in the last decade at least.
