Downfall albums

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Basically, albums by bands that started their musical downward spiral.


I would say Mastodon-Blood Mountain
Lamb of God-Sacrament

Slayer-Divine Intervention
Megadeth-Countdown to Extinction

[jrowa001]

i disagree with Mastodon. Blood Mountain was really good

[Dimmu Burger]

Hmm...good thread idea!

at this point I think:

All That Remains - Overcome
Shadows Fall - Fallout From The War
Finch - Say Hello To Sunshine
Hawthorne Heights - Demo

[beans]

lamb of god, no
mastodon, no

both of those bands are still good

[G_Mac07]

Psycroptic - Symbols of Failure

[Sponer]

Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works :(

I know a lot of people think Miss Machines was when they started getting poopty, but IMO that's still a decent album.

[Eliminator]

every death 'n' roll album

[beans]

Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works :(

I know a lot of people think Miss Machines was when they started getting poopty, but IMO that's still a decent album.

miss machine was their best album imo

Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil

Thrice - Artist in the Ambulance (awaits flames)

[bringonthebreakdown]

no on DEP, LOG, ATR, and especially Mastodon.

However, yes on a7x.

[beans]

Thrice - Artist in the Ambulance (awaits flames)

im not going to flame you

but that album is good, everything after that i completely agree with you on

[Dimmu Burger]

Meh, Thrice is still good, its just not as energetic now.

[bringonthebreakdown]

Thrice no way dude. No way at all, they went a different direction but if anything their music composition has gotten so much stronger.

[bastard]

Cryptopsy - And Then You'll Beg

Metallica - Black Album (DM excluded)

Also, Mastodon is still good.

A7x- becoming a band.

[bastard]

Thrice no way dude. No way at all, they went a different direction but if anything their music composition has gotten so much stronger.

they kind of got weaker. I still love em though.

[Dimmu Burger]

A7x- becoming a band.

Nah, Waking The Fallen was the shiznit back in the day. Even the album before that had a few really good songs.

[bastard]

Nah, Waking The Fallen was the shiznit back in the day. Even the album before that had a few really good songs.

I admit, that album had some sweet songwriting and guitar riffs, but the screams were so terrible, and he did it so much :angry:

[Dimmu Burger]

"Iiiiiiiiii just wannna diiiiiieeeee!!!!"

[bastard]

At least it was better than City Of Evil, that album is just way too long and boring. Don't even get me started on the new album *pukes*.

[Dimmu Burger]

Actually I really like the new album, but City of Evil can lick my balls.

[bastard]

Actually I really like the new album, but City of Evil can lick my balls.

New album is scoffable in every direction. City of Evil at least had some nice riffs.

[beans]

i didnt eve bother with their new album
city of evil had some ok songs

[adb]

"Iiiiiiiiii just wannna diiiiiieeeee!!!!"

COOoooomeee BAAaaack to MEEeeeee this is unconciiieeeeavable

[Dimmu Burger]

New album is scoffable in every direction. City of Evil at least had some nice riffs.

No. City of Evil was horrible Guns And Roses wankery. The new album has really really good catchy songs and lots of variety.

[bastard]

No. City of Evil was horrible Guns And Roses wankery. The new album has really really good catchy songs and lots of variety.

:lol:

[Dimmu Burger]

Facts are facts dude.

[bastard]

I don't really find self-titled to be "varied", the songs each had their very own gimmick attached to them. Like T-Pain Vocoder (Lost), Children's Chorus (Unbound Wild Ride), and even that horrible circus (*scoff* A Little Piece of Heaven).

Look, people have their opinions, and personally, other than all the gimmicks,
I felt the songs mostly sounded very similar.

[Dimmu Burger]

I see your point, but how can a band experiment if you're always gonna call everything a gimmick?

[bringonthebreakdown]

afterlife was a pretty solid song, i must say.

[bastard]

I see your point, but how can a band experiment if you're always gonna call everything a gimmick?

the experiments they did weren't really experiments...

using a vocoder in your chorus isn't being original.

I just thought it was a rushed piece of work that could have been good, if the band had taken the proper execution, which they didn't.

[Aaron]

True but it was them branching out a little bit.

[bastard]

True but it was them branching out a little bit.

I guess you could say that.

:chug:

[Dimmu Burger]

Watch, their next album will be weird as sh*t or a "return to form" bs album.

[bastard]

Watch, their next album will be weird as sh*t or a "return to form" bs album.

:smash:

either way, I think they will both be very very bad.

[Dimmu Burger]

lol we'll see. If they go back to Waking The Fallen sound I'll enjoy it.

[bastard]

lol we'll see. If they go back to Waking The Fallen sound I'll enjoy it.

it's too late, M Shadows has gone into the realm of Axl Rose vocalizing, probably because they have the same vocal teacher.

[Shattered_Future]

Dimmu Borgir post-Stormblast

I think In Sorte Diaboli was their best album, to be quite honest.

[Mr. Ron]

Metallica: every album

[lionelhutz88]

In Flames - Clayman
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
Morbid Angel - Domination
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

[bastard]

[bastard]

while we are on the topic of avenged sevenfold...

darkness fall, shattered by broken dreams are kick *** songs...crazy how much they changed

we ended that conversation a while ago.

[kattunlover69]

thats not ending a conversation

[bastard]

we had suddenly stopped discussing the topic, and new topics were born, like Mr. Ron's hatred of Metallica.

[neonskies]

Off the top of my head: Kiuas - Reformation

Yeah...that band just keeps getting better.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Metallica - black album (even though it was a fantastic record)
Nightwish - Once (although probably their best album...should've been their last)

going to have to disagree on this one. Anthems is definitely the best album Emperor ever made.

[Dimmu Burger]

Arsis-United In Regret
Opeth-Deliverance

No and No.

[keyboardxmosh]

Through The Eyes Of The Dead - Malice
Between The Buried And Me - Colors
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Hopesfall - Magnetic North
Cryptopsy - Whisper Supremacy
Norma Jean - Redeemer
A Life Once Lost - Hunter

[Dimmu Burger]

I think hopesfall were done after The Satellite Years dude. Brilliant album but everything after it couldn't hold its own.

[keyboardxmosh]

ya wutever fuyck u

hot cross - risk revival

[Dimmu Burger]

Also hopesfall broke up right after Mag North, so yeah that would be a downfall album, lol.

[keyboardxmosh]

hot cross broke up after risk revival, both bands did it right... OH **** WE SUCK ****ING HELL GIVE UP

[Dimmu Burger]

Go out like Michael Jordan, oh wait he came back and played for the effin Wizards.

[keyboardxmosh]

ahahahah

michael jordan wasnt even that good right before he retired, i remember the bulls vs the jazz, he completely plowed over the jazz' point guard (the name escapes my mind) and basically didn't get called for charging because he was michael jordan etc.

[Dimmu Burger]

Byron Russel was the guy he made that shot over to win the game. Yes he shoved the crap out of him.

[keyboardxmosh]

yeah, that was such bullshit, i wanted the jazz to win sooooo badly

[Dimmu Burger]

I liked the Bulls, Jordan could take over a game like it was no big deal.

[bastard]

Through The Eyes Of The Dead - Malice
Between The Buried And Me - Colors
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Hopesfall - Magnetic North
Cryptopsy - Whisper Supremacy
Norma Jean - Redeemer
A Life Once Lost - Hunter

If they were ever any good, I'd agree.

[keyboardxmosh]

except for the fact kiss the child & bless the martyr and o' god! the aftermath! are both ****ing awesome

[bastard]

except for the fact kiss the child & bless the martyr and o' god! the aftermath! are both ****ing awesome

they were okay for botch rip offs.

[keyboardxmosh]

they were really good botch rip-offs

[Dimmu Burger]

Their first album had nothing to do with Botch.

[keyboardxmosh]

idk, you can tell there's a ton of influence in the sound

unless you're talking about luti-kriss :lol:

[interviewer02]

Yeah...that band just keeps getting better.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Metallica - black album (even though it was a fantastic record)
Nightwish - Once (although probably their best album...should've been their last)

No, Mastodon peaked at Leviathon. Blood Mountain is in no way better than that, although still a decent album.

Ghost Reveries is my second favorite behind Still Life, but Watershed is definitely the beginning of the end for them.

agree with Metallica, and actually see your point for GR, although its great, its the beginning of change that became more evident on Watershed.
