It's annoying when people who are musically uneducated and fed pop garbage their whole life claim to have great taste in music, yet have the nerve to call (Most) metal 'non-musical noise.
I agree with the former part of this statement. I have what I feel to be a varied taste in music, but I still cannot stand to listen to most forms of metal. I admit I have never seriously tried to get into metal, nor have I asked for recommendations--And before you do, I'm still not asking now.
The fact of the matter is I cannot appreciate a song where I have to decipher lyrics because the vocalist doesn't feel like singing them--Singing for songs, screaming for noise--instead screaming them like someone stabbed him in the foot and he is very upset about it. The rest of the band proceeds to make extremely fast intricate moves on their respective instruments until everything gets jumbled together in a mess of noise that I cannot find a rhythm or beat in.
@Syphon, don't be so damn close-minded. Go out and buy
I lol'd.
If you don't feel it yet, listen to it front to back again. And again. And again. You'll understand eventually. The finest music is acquired taste, not pop culture bullshit
I agree some albums do not expose their true potential till after a few listens, but I again, have yet to find a metal album that does anything remotely like that.
I'm sure BAGLES or any other metal head will agree with me
Of course they will, they're metal fans. That's like a Christian saying 'I'm sure Christians will agree with me when I say god is real'. You're not establishing anything that isn't totally obvious here.
even if Slayer isn't your favorite band, even if you're not into extreme metal, if you can appreciate music, you will want to headbang, you can hear the goodness in a song.
No actually, I can not. I can appreciate a lot of music, even if I don't particularly care for it, but metal, Slayer in particular, is not among said music.
And with that
