These are my bands
Exodus: I prefer their last 3 albums over their old stuff, of course their old stuff is OK, but I find the new ones more technical, with better riffs and more agressive. Sometimes touching the borders of melody.
Kreator: I'm a fan of old-school and melodic extreme, but in this case, I prefer their lastest 2 albums, I like a lot the melodic yet agressive riffs.
Behemoth: starting from the normal, almost generic black metal, these dudes later developed a brutal sound for the atmospheric black metal.
Hypocrisy: their latest album Virus is my fav of them all, it has better riffs IMO and more catching songs
so, post ! xD

It may be weird but I try my best to like the later albums of most metal bands but without success!

Nachtmystium Blind Guardian (yes, fucking sue me) Enslaved Opeth Immortal Hypocrisy Kamelot (Ghost Opera and Black Halo FTW) Amon Amarth. Their last album just sounded more focused than the other ones. Good production also helped. Devin Townsend - In my opinion, Addicted > Most of his other stuff..Bad maybe Ziltoid Katatonia There. You all probably hate my poser-ness now

Hypocrisy - Like a lot their more ambient/death releases Emperor - Equilibrium IX and Prometheus are major kicking ass extreme symphonic. Death - Great stuff in the past, but from Human to Sound of Perseverance they grown as anyone has growth! Grave Digger - Although i like Heavy metal breakdown, wargames and stuff, i still find they reached it when they released Tunes of War, and since this, they only released great stuff

If it wasn't for A Blaze in the Northern Sky, I'd have said Darkthrone. The newer albums are kickass punky speed metal and a step away from the mediocrity of most of the old bm stuff (where only A Blaze... and Under... stood out as really good). Yeah, I largely think Transilvanian Hunger is a steaming pile of shit.

For me, I have to say Amon Amarth and Nevermore. Don't get me wrong, I love both bands' early stuff, but the better production really won me over on the later stuff. Poorer production has its place in some albums, and can even lend atmosphere to the music without the music itself being particularly atmospheric, but I'm not looking for atmosphere when I listen to Amon Amarth and Nevermore.

Kataklysm. I love their more melodic stuff. Songs like "Tear down the kingdom" and "Angels weeping the dark" are the perfect mix of brutality and melody. Doesn't get better than that.

Destruction. The old albums are produced too akwardly for me to listen to them for extended periods of time. They have awesome music on them though.

I agree with the OP on Kreator but disagree about Exodus. I dont think Exodus are all that different then their earlier Zetro era stuff. Yes more technical but even in the old recordings you can hear that crunching guitar tone that is even more prominent on the newer releases. Fabulous Disaster and Pleasures of The Flesh specifically come to mind while I type this. That sound progressed more and more with each album until it became what is today. Shovel Headed Kill Machine is one of my favorite Exodus albums though.. I for one actually love Rob Dukes vocals. One band that comes to mind for me is Six Feet Under. I think the lyrics on the early albums are extremely juvenile. I actually enjoy Commandment and Death Rituals quite a bit. Not the best band in the world but they are good fun to listen to. Written by Sonic MrSumo on 09.02.2011 at 00:17 I would agree. All of their albums are awesome but Blood Mountain and Crack The Skye might very well be two of my favorite albums of all time.

Better  Also gonna add D.R.I- I love their early hardcore albums, but their crossover albums, particularly thrash zone, are superior.

Type O Negative's final two albums mean so much more to me than their older ones. Not really METAL metal but still a great band. Love all Cannibal Corpse but they are just get better and better IMO

Metallica. Load, Reload, St. Anger and Death Magnetic are alljust vastly superior to anything the released before that.

Written by [user id=111774] on 26.03.2011 at 23:18 I agree on AJFA being better than MOP. Because, if I think about it... I find all the albums Metallica released in the 80s boring. But, while undoubtedly boring here and there for me, listening to Kill'Em All, RTL or AJFA from beginning to end would not be an ordeal. However, MOP is so inconsistent an extremely dull, listening to it from beginning to end would be excrutiating.

Written by RavenKing on 26.03.2011 at 23:44 I do find even metallica's 80s albums are predictable from start to finish which makes them extremely boring.

For every good song on MoP, there's a snoozer. Battery, Damage Inc, the title track, and Dissposble heros are enjoyable, even if the latter is to long for its own good, but the rest is dull. Leper Messiah has that awful plodding riff, TTTSNB has the same problem, only even more so, Sanitarium sounds forced in comparison to their other early ballads, and Orion, well let me try to describe it...  Although all of Metallica's instrumentals are dull.

Which sucks I love a good instrumental being a big fan of classical, but honestly I think Shortest Straw was the only song I ever went......"Oh cool riff, not bad".

AJFA was my favorite for the longest time but listening to it recently I just cant get into it. It is trying to be too epic which is why they wanted a change and made the black album. "Harvester" is still the best song ever though. If it weren't for that album though metal music would not be the same today. Even Mikael Akerfeldt said in some video on youtube that if not for that slow midsection of "to live is to die" Opeth might not exist. Load is definitely in my top 3.

No wonder I dislike Opeth so much.
