05.23.12 | I agree that 1 and 4 are overatted but still no where near bad just good or average. |

05.23.12 | Meshuggah are one of those love/hate bands. I for one, absolutely love them, and could listen to them for hours. They just don't get boring to me. Have you heard their "I" EP? It's one 20 minute long track. Fantastic stuff.
Opeth are a favourite of mine, as are Metallica. Being a drummer as well, Lars shits me. In fact, everyone in Metallica piss me off. Except for Rob. And Cliff. |

05.23.12 | Your picture is the fucking Wonka meme. You're obviously fourteen. |
ZombicidalMan
05.23.12 | If you listened to ... And Justice For All you'd know Lars can (or could, rather) drum superbly. |

....maybe you should quit bein' gay and jam their old stuff no? |

05.23.12 | who cares lol just listen to what you like |
Deviant.
05.23.12 | "Bands that genre i like" |
Anthracks
05.23.12 | How can something be great if you don't like it? God such low self-esteem |
Oathbreaker
05.23.12 | I don't like Maiden.
Who likes maiden nowdays, jeez. |
Dimor
05.23.12 | Meshuggah and Opeth are cool. Keep bashing Converge though, they don't deserve any of the praise they get. |
Scoot
05.23.12 | list is irrelevant |
HSThomas
05.23.12 | How does one 'genre' Deviant? |
BigPleb
05.23.12 | Pretty pointless list really.
1, 2 and 4 need to be given a LOT of time in order to really 'dig' any of their material. |
Salander
05.23.12 | Try MAYH or Still Life, that's where its at. |
Psycotrip
05.23.12 | Converge is amazing. If you're not into it, you're not into it.. |
BigPleb
05.23.12 | Damnation is probably the best place to start, seeing as its Opeth's most accessible release. |

05.23.12 | Opeth are cool. Keep bashing Converge though, they don't deserve any of the praise they get. [2] |
Wolfhorde
05.23.12 | Big news. Opeth are overrated. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.23.12 | But still amazing; no band ever could deserve all the praise Opeth get |

05.23.12 | "Keep bashing Converge though, they don't deserve any of the praise they get."
Sorry for liking Converge, I must just be pretending to like them or something |
SpiritCrusher2
05.23.12 | I LOVE all these bands, great :) |
Wolfhorde
05.23.12 | "But still amazing; no band ever could deserve all the praise Opeth get"
Maybe because fanboyism in general is incredibly stupid &/or infantile. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.23.12 | Fanboyism is the shit when you've got it, it's just seriously annoying for everyone else |
MO
05.23.12 | yea, I mean I really dig Opeth (obvs), but even I'll agree they're put on an insanely high pedestal |
Wolfhorde
05.23.12 | That was a pretty stupid question. |
theartofdoom
05.23.12 | As a huge Metallica fan I have to agree with you on that Lars thing |
MO
05.23.12 | "'Tallica, Maiden and 'Shuggah make music for dumb kids with long hair and too much social life."
weird I have short hair and my social life is pretty average! |
Dolving999
05.23.12 | Opeth is awesome, just saying.
And... Bannon is too much? You obviously just barely gave Converge a listen. Many true Converge worshipers started out as you. Thing is, they can't get enough now.

bloc
05.23.12 | I enjoy 1 2 3 and 5 in moderation, but 4 is awful. |
Dimor
05.23.12 | Lol Base obv you can't like Tool and Converge at the same time. Gotta choose one broooooh |
taylormemer
05.23.12 | "weird I have short hair and my social life is pretty average!"
Yeah that is weird. Baseline is always correct on these issues. |
paxman
05.23.12 | Agree with 3. Metallica sucks. |
North0House2
05.23.12 | I agree with this whole list. I honestly just don't really like the bands all that much. I dunno why, I just can't get into them. |
thumbcrusher
05.23.12 | i think opeth and metallica are great, meshuggah are cool though don't really care for converge but i've never given them a proper chance |
ThunderNeutral21
05.23.12 | lol meshuggah is pretty lame overall but the rest are the best bands ever obviously you are gay |
YetAnotherBrick
05.23.12 | "something about the accoustic parts of Black Water Park (song and album) in particular just annoy the hell outta me"
wut |
YankeeDudel
05.23.12 | No band should be put on a pedestal. To me these bands are just really good bands. Take the expectations and hype out of them and just listen as if they were unknown. The music is all that matters. However I think a little context is necessary when listening to music, because its important to recognize how much influence these bands have had on metal. Even if you take their influence out of it they are still just great bands though. |
Camstr
05.23.12 | Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me because I don't listen to these and other similar bands...oh well, can't win 'em all. |
JokineAugustus
05.24.12 | Slayer should be on this list at number 1. So overated. Reigning blood bores me everytime. |
GuanoBumbershoot
05.24.12 | Ya, Bannon's vocals do tend to be the break of the make or break with people liking or disliking Converge. I've met plenty of people who like Converge instrumentaly, but can't stand Jacob's vocals. Personally I don't think they'd be quite the same band without 'em. |
Trebor.
05.24.12 | Kids these days don't even jam Maiden
|
GuanoBumbershoot
05.24.12 | Jesus, are you kidding Trebor. All my younger sister's guy friends (who've just entered high school) listen to nothing but Maiden, and prance around like their metal elitists. A year ago they were jamming to Black Veil Brides or some other gay shit. |

Even though I just wrote that I don't have any hate towards Converge. I used to hate them but after listening to Zao I really can't see any difference between Jacob Bannon and the lead singer of Zao's vocals. The way I see it is if I can listen to Zao, I can listen to Converge. I never have given Opeth a try for no apparent reason, but I love In Mourning and from what I hear they sound like Opeth. |
