People wrote them off for being christian, but they were a cut above most bands doing this style.

In Flames really wen't downhill with that album that had "take this life" as a single. Imo they peaked with Whoracle and even then they had a lot of mid releases.

fuck it, He Is Legend circa 2003-2009 was one of the best bands to come out of North Carolina and even their recent stuff has some songs worth checking out. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

But Subterranean is by faaaar their best outing. Also Dark Tranquillity is far more consistent than In Flames has ever been.

None of the Black Flag material sans Rollins is really that good. Maybe a track here n there, but Rollins makes is a part of the package that allows the later Black Flag efforts to pull off shit that almost no one ever succeeds in mimicking. Hard disagree that Black Flag before Rollins wasn't great but I agree that Flag with Rollins is their best shit. Not liking any of the Rollins albums means you don't like a large majority of the Black Flag catalogue, which means you aren't a fan of Black Flag, which means you are a poser, which means I will be killing you.

It Hates You is criminally overlooked man, just a straight up great rock record

I like Metallicaβs old stuff but I canβt do 4 minute long songs. 6 minutes??? Gtfo. Even if theyβre good songs they need to be cut in half and Iβm over it I'm in the same boat. I can't sit through the "classic" albums cause they bore me like 3 minutes into a song.

Band rips. This may be a hot take but I like parade of chaos the most. I like how rockin and more straight forward it is. Christian metalcore slaps idgaf. Embodyment - embrace the eternal is crazy heavy.

With all the little acoustic sections. Not into it. But parade of chaos and the fear is what keeps us here are really cool.

But parade of chaos and the fear is what keeps us here are really cool. fair enough. i can understand not liking ...AJFA because those songs are definitely long and intricate so if you have a short attention span that could really hinder your enjoyment of the album. but when someone claims to like metal and doesn't like those first three 'tallica records, i don't know what else to say... it's hard for me to take you seriously.
