I've encountered plenty of people like that, too. Personally, I like all of Death's releases, but I definitely prefer "Human", "Symbolic", "Individual...", and "...Perseverance". The first Death album I heard back in the day was "Symbolic", and I was blown away by the energy, melody and the riffage combined with the death metal elements, and then the drumming was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. I've also encountered people who think that "Reek of Putrefaction" and "Symphonies of Sickness" are far superior to the rest of Carcass' output. I do enjoy "Symphonies..." but I must admit that I prefer the band's three last outputs (I wouldn't exactly say that "Swansong" is progressive though).

I'd hate to say that it's all because of the user demographic here, but there's a huge spillover from ProgArchives and we have a bigger amount of favor for anything considered Progressive and a small amount of pretty much everything else.


You are probably right there, and the only way to change this is to attract more users without PA backgrounds. This is happening, so I think it is only a matter of time before the progressive bias disappears.

I maintain that with an average rating of 3, "Symphonies of Sickness" cannot be said to be a hated release on the MMA
