As someone who used to be a newspaper reporter, I can tell you that bad news sells so much better than good news. People always say they WANT the good stuff, but an issue with a good car crash or massive fire on the front page always sold better than one with "Local man grows unusual-shaped turnip" or "Study shows red tractors really are better than blue tractors" (yeah, it wasn't a big city daily by any means, but still a daily!) I could start on the bands I dislike, but that would be an enormous list. Meh, I usually hold it back a bit, so here's a few other people sometimes take issue with: Burzum Tool Alice in Chains Suffocation Led Zeppelin Korn Slipknot Opeth KISS Yeah, too easy... Instead, here's a few albums from bands I generally like, but not these particular releases: Megadeth - Rust in Peace Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast (it's been over-played. I'd rather listen to any other single Maiden album first!) AC/DC - Black Ice (hang up your guitar Angus, or stick to the old stuff. Malcolm was the song writer) Slayer - God Hates Us All (I have tried so many times! I just don't much like it) Sepultura - Roots Metallica - Hardwired... To Self-destruct (Too easy to pick the black/Loads/St Anger. This generally gets positive reviews, but I hate it!) Nirvana - Unplugged (I despise unplugged albums, but this is particularly awful!) Annihilator - Set The World on Fire D.R.I. - Thrash Zone (If you're going to call an album that, at least play thrashy songs, and not mid-paced plod!) Pantera - Far Beyond Driven (Disjointed. I just don't like it.) Yeah, that's probably enough... |

I kinda agree on PoS, though I honestly have a love/hate relationship with them: I absolutely love Remedy Lane and Be, but Scarsick and In the Passing Light of Day are two of my absolute least favorite prog albums of all time. I also wasn't big on Leprous, when I tried them. Another big one is I really don't like much of what I've heard from Queensryche, and especially wasn't too impressed by Operation Mindcrime or Empire, which are two of their most popular albums. |

I used to like 80s Manowar for a little while but I lost interest rather quickly. Also over the years their music got less and less interesting to the point that I believe they became a parody of themselves. There is also the fact that the band did not have a public statement over the Logan pedophilia scandal, no shock, no criticism, no outrage about it, really? They just announced they had a new guitarist, that's all they did. They could have handle it better and differently. They have zero credibility now. Edited by LittleBig - 22 Apr 2020 at 9:13am |

Manowar have always rubbed me wrong (and it didn´t help watching them live in the late 90s. I´m still traumatized by that experience), but they are not really within a genre that I usually enjoy, so I´m not sure they reallly qualify.

I don't actively partake in the PA forum so don't want to speak out of turn against their staff, but threads going off the rails is kind of what moderators are for. I presume they put an end to such threads but if not that's what should have happened. It's what we'd do here if a thread (regardless of who posted it) devolved into a match of who can throw the best insult. So you don't ever need to worry about that on MMA.

If I am misinterpreting your intent, my bad then. Usually these kind of threads get a lot of negativity, there are some on PA forum that went off rails IMO, but that still a rather big community, MMA is smaller, so I hope I am wrong then. Ok, challenge accepted, one thread coming up...

Exactly as they were intended.
Per above, you've interpreted the intent behind this thread and the other one completely wrong. And there is not one word of complaint in my opening post! For your information. You're quite welcome to think up some new topics to post yourself if you have such a problem with mine...I'll leave that ball in your court. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I go up and down with Burzum. I've picked up several of his albums second hand but I don't play them often, despite having left ratings that might imply otherwise. I always feel like I'm selling a piece of my soul when I listen to Burzum, because of Varg the individual. When the right mood strikes I do enjoy his music though. I don't feel any inclination to own any more of it than I currently do though.

I enjoy Filosofem a fair bit more than you do Nicole, but it's still only a 3.5 album for me. Higher than most of my Burzum ratings.

It's Burzum for me too. My review for Filosofem will sum up why.

I think maybe you need to lighten up. There's nothing especially negative about either this or that thread on concept album stories. I see this one as a genuinely curious question and other as providing a bit of amusement. Considering what's going on in the world right now it doesn't hurt to have a giggle about a stupidly amusing concept story. As for my answer to this question, I think probably Burzum. The highest rating I have for Burzum is 4/5 on Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. My view of most of Burzum's stuff ranges from dislike to indifference.

Well, just recently the dumbest concept albums thread... I'm complaining about people that like to complain, now that's funny. |

Two things: 1. What other thread do you deem to be negative around here? 2. There is only one person complaining in this thread and that is you.

Another negative thread, people seem to like them, people like to complain, so what do I know...
I agree with Roots, I lost interest, too, after repeated listens. The only Sepultura albums I enjoy are Beneath the Remains and Arise. I love Pain of Salvation, one of my favorite bands. I can't think how I can be useful with this thread, if I don't like a band, I don't complain about it, I just move on. There's so much music to explore and so little time, that is the problem that bothers me.

Anyone here got a (metal) act or album that you know is well loved but you yourself dislike or even outright hate? Specifically stuff that would normally fall into your wheelhouse of taste that is - something you expected to like, yet didn't.
I think for me the main act I always disliked is Pain of Salvation, though I admit it's been a long time since I tried any of their music. The band was a natural stepping stone on my journey through discovering progressive metal and I recall having extremely high expectations of them. But they do little to nothing for me and after trying three albums from them the final straw with them was finding that I enjoyed The Perfect Element Pt 1 the least of the three. Other albums that I know are well liked but I hated include: Leprous - Bilateral Sepultura - Roots The latter of these is an album I initially liked but it wore thin for me pretty quick.
