| Loudpipes says : It really isn't any fault of their own that they influenced a Ton of really piss-poor bands; I do agree with the fact that most of their clone bands suck. That said i'm very hard pressed to name a 'brutal' (I Hate using this fucking term) Death Metal band that was better all around in terms of composition (riffcraft, overall cohesion and flow to the songs etc) than Suffocation's early era. Minirad, if you're interested, Pierced From Within is probably the most well-rounded Suffo album from their early era. Like I mentioned earlier, pretty much all of their albums up to and including Despise the Sun are worthy. I can't really comment on the post-reunion albums aside for that the s/t is pretty dull compared to their early works. |
They did help shape that scene from early on. | InfinityZero says : Nirvana 2002 is a second-rate band, but their amateur sound is part of the novelty and enjoyment. I like their early band vibe, and oh, I think they're better than CC, so... |
| GandhiEgo says : You sure can enjoy anything you like. That wasn't my point. My point is, despite the Fact that you don't enjoy them, that CC has and always will be a major band in Death Metal and that putting them against JFAC or Nirvana 2002 does not make sense. |
And yes, I know that no one cares or has ever cared about N2002 and I realize how underground they were... although apparently they and Entombed were offered to play at a live show (the show that got Entombed to be noticed by a record label that got their music heard), and they declined the offer because they were stage-shy. And so no one ever heard of them.
