I need metal that doesn't suck. - Page 2

My God, it's full of suggestions. Thanks everyone. I have a lot of downloading (legally, I assure you) to do.

Few points to address.

--Monster Magnet's been going downhill since Powertrip. I still love that band, but, they're falling off.

--Slipknot's my guilty pleasure metal band. There's so much about that band that annoys me, but they're good for a quick, sloppy, effective dose of blind insanity. Subliminal Verses, however, was a genuinely solid album, though. If for no other reason than there's more than one song where you can actually tell there's 9 guys in that band.

--Musically, Mastodon is excellent, but their vocalist doesn't quite do anything for me. More information is needed.

That said, they also single-handedly justified the existence of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

--I keep meaning to pick up a God Forbid album (WSOU was pushing them and hard for a long while), and failing at it every single time. I think now's the time to rectify that.

--I should be done with Killswitch Engage, since, as good as Howard Jones has been, Jesse Leach is a much better fit. But dammit, that shit just SOARS. I can't hate a metal band that manages to send the listener on that big a high on a consistent basis. I'll give Howard's old band a try though.

--Isis: Metal To Fall Asleep To. That's a compliment, I might add.

--For my money, Fear Factory's made only one really good album, and that was Obsolete, which I hadn't listened to in too long, and now I'm on a kick.

--If you own one Hatebreed album, you own them all. I have Rise of Brutality. I need nothing else.

--The Sword wrote Freya. On behalf of Guitar Hero fans the world over, I see their guitarist, I'm punching him in the fucking mouth.

That is all. On with the downloading.
