The Worst "Popular" Metal Albums
|
I realize the importance of these albums to the genres, and the influence they have had. however I do not find these albums really that great and pleasurable due to the competition and elimination through these decades of musical evolution. I respect these bands for releasing something so creative, conceptual and also brought us to the new dimension in the past.
My opinions are solely personal which are based on its musical value in modern era, not for its historical significance. I received complaints from some members about rating their favorite albums at low scores. Unfortunately I am not able to do anything which is against my own will in order to please some of you. I apologize in advance for my poor english which restricted me for answering some of your questions and requests. On the other hand I was not able to convey my message efficiently due to the reason above mentioned that had caused a lot of misunderstandings. Definition : Overrated : A term used to describe something that gets more hype and credit than it's actually worth. Classic : (adjective) of the first or highest quality, class, or rank. (noun) Something noteworthy of its kind and worth "remembering". **************************************************************************************************** 1) All albums listed are considered OVERRATED in my personal point of view. 2) Opinions are solely personally, I hope interference from the website owners could be reduced to minimum.

Written by deadone on 25.08.2014 at 02:29 When someone finds a certain album to be (much) less great than what the general consensus (opinion) is, one can state that said album is "overrated" in their view. So yes, of course it's about personal taste. How could it not be? Calling something underrated would be the complete opposite of "overrated", so definitely not what you're describing. You're looking for the word "overlooked", not overrated.

Written by Dr. Strawberry on 25.08.2014 at 20:44 Then why does your list still say that this particular album is a 4 and not a 9? If you suddenly change your rating so drastically, at least be consistent and remove it from this list.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 25.08.2014 at 21:26 There is really nothing to talk about my score, it's not the core but...do you think that those high scores given by majority (not only on MS but everywhere) really had reflected the TRUTH or just a FASHION.

Written by Ilham on 25.08.2014 at 02:43 A gold colour sticker written "11 New Classics" on the cover of 2010 Ratt's Infestation Immediately caused confusion. Everybody thought it was a compilation though there's nothing wrong with the usage of the term. They meant future classics, we though classics in the past.

Written by Erik M. on 26.08.2014 at 21:24 Btw, are you following the news ? or you're living in your own cell ignoring what is going on...and considered yourself - majority ? Obama has been criticising by citizens of US, Hillary, his own paty and other paties' members for everything he has done for diplomacy and economy.

I only really said that what Troy said is correct and didn't really respond to the example you gave. Hence why I deleted my post. I'm a Dutchman and while I do know more or less what's going on, I certainly don't follow the news actively. That being said, I think I'm going to agree with Joe on this matter.

Written by [user id=4365] on 26.08.2014 at 21:40 Not really idiotic as I changed my point of view to some "vintage albums" over time due to the evolvement of music in history. As mentioned "albums are products of their time in history". Now will be the history of the future, what I think is good might be refuted by myself in the future. Move on please...I totally understood if you cherished the nostalgic value and considered those as masterpieces at their own times.

Written by [user id=4365] on 26.08.2014 at 22:11 1) True. 2) Obama example defines "overrated' can be used under many circumstances and it's a comparative, not stand alone. Anything has received high acclaim before but nother group of people don't buy the idea and call it "overrated" or otherwise...and also "Majority" concept is only a "Sheep Effect". I did not compare Obama with Albums.

If you somehow manage to spin this into an off-topic political debate I will straight up delete this entire list.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 27.08.2014 at 17:22 I'd say it's already past that point. I'd like to comment on this list, but to be honest I don't really understand any of it.

Funny how someone can truly say with dry eyes that some of the most influential albums ever are overrated and not classics and that modern albums are better when in fact those modern albums wouldn't even be here were it not for those album the person calls overrated not classic.

I can understand someone hating likes of Death, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc but calling Black Sabbath overrated is beyond me tbh.

Well, I agree with Master Of Puppets. The others here (at least the ones I've heard) I wouldn't call bad. I didn't know And Justice For All was liked enough to be called overrated?

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 29.08.2014 at 14:10 I've also seen plenty of bad stuff said about it. Like it's the start of their selling out or the bass is crap/non-existent.

I'm somewhere in between Marcel and Ilham in regards to this list. Yeah, just because an album's "classic" doesn't mean it can't be overrated, but a bunch of albums you put on here (Maiden, Sabbath, and Death especially) were critical towards influencing the sounds and styles of metal bands for years to come. Sometimes you have to acknowledge the impact of the legends, whether you personally care for them or not.

Written by Auntie Sahar on 30.08.2014 at 16:37 Just because something is influential doesn't mean it's good. This list I think is more about the creator's personal opinion differing from the majority, not about overlooking the significance of the bands listed. Or maybe it's about Obama. I'm still not entirely sure.

). I rated Ironbound a 6 and tbh it might as well be a 5, so I can totally understand the 4 GodBuster awarded it.For all I care he gave it a 10 or a 1.
