spawned a bunch of imitators and influenced the way albums in the genre would sound in the future?

Every single time I look at review sites, any given band's first two albums are given high scores then it's a constant decrease.
I have a hard time believing that almost every single band keeps releasing worse and worse albums as they get older.

Can people objectively review music? It's like later albums are always dismissed with "we've heard this before". Well no shit Sherlock, since it's not the first album from the band you're listening to. Do people just give bad rating since they expect to hear something completely new?

reviews are literally meaningless, of course there's gonna be some shit that's objectively terrible but you've always gotta listen to something to decide if you think it's good or not in spite of whatever the consensus is.

>>74588263
First two motörhead albums are rated low, latest ones consistently high. There are countless more examples, but it's motorhead , the band synonymous with "they always sound the same". So your point is invalid.
Most of the time bands lose a youthful spirit and drive after the first couple of albums though. There is a difference between staying on a path and being boring while doing so.

>>74588263
pretty much every music reviewer is a n*male

>>74588263
As a reviewer I have no problem giving a good opinion on late albums, the latest Napalm Death album for instance is a killer release

>>74588263
Personally I've been guilty (?) of liking a band's first three albums (it's uncanny how often it's the first three) more than anything else, especially if they settle on a particular sound and stop evolving.

It takes a band's focused energy and creativity to keep things interesting for me. I'm not going to listen to a bands' entire ~50 record long catalogue if I already know what to expect from albums #4 to #50. They might all be good and consistent, but if they are too samey I can't be expected to keep interested.

>>74588374
Yeah the rest of the post i explained why the phenomenon you talk about REALLY happens

>>74588263
I disagree with your sentiment. There are plenty bands that started with so-so albums and got better over time. Plenty made later career highlights, too—take Megadeth for example.
Otherwise, what you talk about is not always only due a bias or stigma. First, ever heard of the second album syndrome? Many bands need to secure the label deal and establish themselves with their first album. They take all the best ideas, accumulated over the years, and make one great record… And then they must make another one—but they're all out.
Second, you can't really invent the wheel twice. Some bands' first albums are hailed because they were so groundbreaking. But, then they do pretty much the same thing. So needless to say, the impact they make will be smaller.

>>74588363
It sounds like black metal played by someone with no talent
I could legitimately write riffs on par with triple H
That said, his tendency to write in major gives it an anthemic and uplifting feeling.

>>74588263
>Can people objectively review music?
What? What do you think that means?
>Well no shit Sherlock, since it's not the first album from the band you're listening to
The problem is not that people are disappointed that they don't get to listen to something new, the problem is that, much like inflation, if you get too much of a good thing, no matter how good, its overall value decreases. Suddenly the albums that helped establish that sound aren't that special anymore, and every other album that follows becomes virtually interchangeable, so that in the end you could even release literally the same album, rerecorded and with tweaked production and no one would care (see: Venom or Motörhead or Iron Maiden or any of the pioneering classics of the early 80s). Sure, since the albums that established the sound are good, it only means "hey, more good albums", but as I said, there comes a point of saturation where releasing the same "good" albums over and over again hurts the overall quality of the band's catalogue, and makes it hard to keep a genuine interest or enthusiasm for new releases. You've listened to the main albums, the ones that based the sound of everything that followed; why would you care about the byproducts?

>>74588263
The debut and second album of most bands is usually the product of ideas, songs, motifs, melodies and whatnot that they've carried with them for a long time, and usually they take their timing refining their material as much as possible before going to the studio.
After they release that, usually comes a record label who will pressure them to create music as fast as possible, and most of the time they suck, or at the very least ain't as good as the debut. Of course, there's a lot of exceptions, but that seems to be the case with most bands I listen to. If the record label don't fuck them up the ass, they'll usually run out of ideas on the third album and will then begin to repeat themselves or mimic their influences.

Pic related. A steady downfall from the second album onward.

Which, funny enough, applies to Motörhead. So I think you should choose a better example before stumbling with your own argument and contradicting yourself.

>>74588435
Funny how Entombed actually slowed down with time. Also I think their third album is great.

>>74588453

>>74588374
>>74588263
Metallica's first so many albums are consistently rated high by most people.
Slayer's first records are usually overshadowed by Reign in Blood and the several albums after it.
I mentioned Megadeth already.
Anthrax

Death
Maiden
Priest

Most death and black metal from the late 80s to the mid 90s (especially the scandinavians)
Basically 100% of NWOBHM
Any niche genres like funeral doom or technical thrash
Thrash. Like, thrash. You can name your exceptions all you like and praise albums like Comma Of Souls (which IS excellent), but Kreator's first three albums are consistently rated as their best, and everything else, even when considered good, is "althought not like their first three" good.
The (good) melodic death scene
Grindcore in general, especially old school
Consistent black metal bands from the 2000s

I could go on, but it won't matter because you'll dig your way towards one exception that you'll consider deems the rule moot. As you've been doing so far.

It's several people replying to your blanket statement, not one.

Most NWOBHM and thrash burned out really hard after their heyday. See Anthrax, see all those thrashers who jumped the groove metal bandwagon. As for NWOBHM, they also burned out quick. There are some cases like Riot who continued making good records but not all of them. I consistently see their newer records getting high ratings—it's just few people care, but those who do rate them high.
The rest of the genres I can't judge really. But at least you've specified what you meant

Not the guy who posted OP and AFOS, but I agree: As I said, nothing inherently wrong with the album. It's good, I liked it, but it's highly derivative of their previous one, which is the last one in which they showed any development. They've perfected their sound and have clearly decided to stay there for the rest of their careers (here's hoping I'm wrong), which was the point I tried to make here >>74588434

I see "what the fuck have you done to your sound?" far more often.

>>74588834
Just saying you fucked up is all

>>74588838
that's the other face of the coin

>>74588850
Except I didn't. Firstly because the hyperbole you pointed out doesn't change either my overarching argument nor the fact that you picked a wrong example. All you managed to do was point out that "every single time" was an exaggeration, which I thought was obvious from the start. I'm sure anyone with a non-damaged brain assumed the same. Secondly because my point is still both verifiable and, since you've tacitly agreed to take popular opinion as valid, it's reflected on the opinions of most people posting here and in those "every single time" reviews.

You're fixating on semantics because you can't bring up enough evidence to prove anyone disagreeing with you wrong. It's time you drop it altogether.

Emperor released only four albums, though. And Prometheus is so close to being basically Ihsahn's first solo album it's virtually a transition. Enslaved's original trilogy, regardless of whether you prefer viking black or prog viking somethingorother, are consistently rated as their best works, and same goes for Ulver's trilogie. Don't get me wrong, I love pretty much everything those bands have done (though Enslaved gets pretty repetitive and predictable and boring after Isa), but they're terrible examples to counter the argument some of us have been doing on the whole "first three albums best three albums".

>>74589262
Don't get me wrong, most metal has subpar lyrics, but there are so many metal bands, subgenres and styles that you're bound to find gold in almost every cathegory. Voivod 1987-1989 did the whole techno-dystopia theme with grace. Deathspell Omega's theological exegesis is nothing short of legendary, and if you like impressionist, quasi-surreal lyrics then bands like Ved Buens Ende, Furze and Ebonylake have done some great work. Ulver itself, in its two metal albums, mastered a very elegant and romanticist style of chapter-based storytelling. There's more, but that's what comes to mind right now.

>Tell a little truth with many lies
>It's the only way I've found

>Looking inside of yourself
>You might see someone you don't know
>Maybe it's just what you need
>Letting the river in you flow

That's just from the top of my head

>>74589370
It's relevant to the claim you made dude. They shouldn't be on your list. If your basing your standards for good lyrics off those bands you will be praising some pretty mediocre lyric writers overall.

>Deathspell Omega's theological exegesis is nothing short of legendary,

lyrics are gorgeous!

Lying there in a small crib
Naked and innocent
Just loosing my virginity
Only four years old
A menacing man above me
He's my own father!

My legs and arms are limp
Crushed by confusion
Lascivious eyes stare at me
I've never seen before
Musty smell in the air
Diffusing body odor

Feeling like a pig ravished and abused
Praying for my god
The old man with the long white beard

A hurting abdomen, a grieved soul
Tears are running from my eyes
I don't know what's going on
Cries, screams of despair
Fathers slaps in my face
"Shut up little cunt"

Feeling like a pig
Ravished and abused
Praying for my god
The old man with the long white beard

[Lead: Roderer]

Satisfaction - father is groaning
Humiliation - treated like a shitheap
Observation - my brain is empty
Anxiety - father, never do it again!
Atrocity -fear in my eyes
Inbreeding - my body is deseased
Shame - mother won't be told
Some human beings are repulsive animals

[Lead: Roderer]

After a while - the pain is over
Disgusting - full of serous mucus
Genitals - blood runs from my legs
An ugly smile - my father leaves the room
Misery - I'm feeling sick
Depression - I clasp Teddy in my arms
Loneliness - nobody who helps
Some human beings are repulsive animals

First you tried to repress
Then you established:
This nightmare will ever be
Deep in your subconscious

Black metal was kind of a reaction to how technical death metal was getting and it went in a more minimalist direction. Also black metal bands tend to be more interested in texture and soundscapes (that's not just true of the ambient black metal bands)

>>74589919
>Black Metal is a sub-genre of Metal typified by its usually raw or under-produced sound and Satanic/rebellious aesthetic, as well as simplistic guitar phrases and under-accentuated rhythmic dimensions which allow more power for the atmospheric, detached and wandering riffs. Vocals are often higher pitched than Death Metal (or, screams rather than Death Metal's grunts) and can sound detached or unnervingly direct.


>Death Metal is a Metal sub-genre that began in the United States in the mid 1980s and was heavily influenced by Thrash Metal… . This genre often utilizes abrupt changes in tempo, key, and time signature, although this is not present in all forms of this music. Guitars are heavily distorted and down-tuned, and are often played using techniques such as palm muting and tremolo picking. Chromatic chord progressions are often featured in Death Metal songs. Death Metal drummers typically play in very fast patterns and often employ double bass drum techniques and the use of blast beats to create a highly aggressive sound. Vocally, Death Metal uses a style consisting largely of guttural growls, grunts, and gurgles. Lyrics are bleak and often violent or anti-religious.

The only effective way to learn the difference is to listen to as much as you can. If, along the way, you realise you're not enjoying it, then learning the difference is not even worth it.

Look out guys we've got baby ears over here.

>>74590594
It's Deathspell Omega's first worthwhile album, Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice. After two albums that are mere 2nd wave worship, this album here pretty much kickstarted the "orthodox black metal" movement, with lots of bands aping its sound to lesser and greater success. After that album the band quickly became more experimental and technical, which is actually what they're most well known for, so it's kind of a one-off transitory album. Still, it's catchy, memorable and excellently structured (it was originally going to be released as three EPs, each opening with a "prayer"). I'm much more fond of their insane latter works (especially Fas - Ite[...]), but SMRC is pretty much a must to anyone into post-2nd wave bm.

Vinterriket is pretty good, if you can stomach three to four pure ambient tracks for every black metal track. But I think the best atmoblack project out there is SieghetnaR, especially the string of 30 min long, one-track "demos" they released around 2008-2009

biopic when?

>>74590471
Not an expert on this but I'll try.
Thrash was the forefather of death metal, and influenced black metal too. It blended fast beat and raw energy of hardcore punk with shredding guitar riffs of metal.
Death metal was pretty much the direct evolution of thrash. First, it incorporated growls/screams instead of clean vocals and shouting. Second, it made abrupt changes in song and blast beats a staple of the genre. This is the more energetic/heavy/technical offspring of thrash, basically the genre on steroids.
Black, on the other hand, went the way of more atmospheric or ambient sound, also often incorporating folk/classical melody elements. It focuses somewhat less on technical aspect of things and sheer technical/fast/energetic playing and is usually a bit more hypnotic, with accent on atmospheric darkness and evil.

Can someone rec me some albums? Don't really care which genre so long as theyre good.

>>74591815
still doesn't compare to the enormous amount of cookie cutter black metal and thrash bands that have existed throughout the genre's existence.

>>74591815
Stoner is still going incredibly strong since 2010 I think, lots of mediocre bands but nothing near bedroom black metal, which is bound to release heaps of shit (and rarely good stuff) forever

Not really. It's transitional and inconsistent. The black/thrash it offers isn't better than the one on UTSOTBM and the viking elements are but a demo version on what was to come in Hammerheart, TOTI and whatever wasn't re-recorded from Blood On Ice.

I don't really see the problem. That cartoon seems to me the logical conclusion of this decade's infatuation with corrupted nostalgia, pop culture references and non sequiturs (also known as the lol so random effect). It was a matter of time before a cartoon that was nothing BUT that would show up just when the whole internet-culture-leaking-into-the-mainstream debacle reached a noisy climax and invariably conquer the entire 25-30 year old demographic.

The fact the new season seems to be disappointing so many people should serve as a hopeful sign that that trend is beginning its quick decline. Hopefuly, with it, the whole "lol check my meems" shitfad will start to fade too.

I tried listening to pop music, but it gets boring after a while and it doesn't make me want to come back to what I used to enjoy

This is top of my iTunes library. Albums only get into it if I listened to them a lot already.
When I download something I usually open it in Foobar since it's faster, and don't have to worry about libraries and shit. If I don't like it I delete it, if I still like it after a while it goes into the library.

I do have a lot of other bands a few scrolls down, the list lies a bit since the oldest songs get the most plays. I listen to a lot more melodeath, doom, symphonic and such recently.

Motörhead.
Melvins in their own way, but I think its the whole package - album covers and names together dont make much sense, song names are like what you'd get from random sentence generator and lyrics are so different compare to many other metal bands, not to mention they dont follow any typical structures its like spoken word or something.
Cant explain it well.

Ummm can't help you much with this. Sometimes I also do feel like starting from scratch and listening to something completely different, usually after some emotional changes or whatever. Just to change the picture.
But since you listen to so much varied stuff, I guess I can't help you much… Maybe you just need to take a break and get back into the daily flow of life. But it's just a thought

The Genre:Metal is mainly there to keep them separate from my anime playlist.

As a Doom and Stoner fan I gotta say the strength of both genres might be because of the simplicity - throw me some downtuned guitars, chuggachugga riffs, audible and bulldozing bass with some manic solos here and there and its all good. Lyrics, I dont care much.
Just give me some primitive, thundering, twisted offspring of Blues.
