Considered Dead should have more recognition than this.

Fall From Grace is a classic m/

Used to not like this album as much, but it's grown on me recently

Yeah Cas, this album sucks

Album Rating: 4.0

Fall From Grace slays.



Everything on this album does except some of the random instrumental tracks. Only real song I feel is lackluster compared to the rest is the t/t, some may disagree but yeah. Idk how you can rate this a 2.5 though wtf

Album Rating: 2.5

Because it's pretty inferior to a lot of death metal from the same time, let alone a lot of metal from the same time with about three tracks that are actually worth revisiting.

Album Rating: 4.0

That was a rhetorical question, wasn't actually asking why. Your other post made it pretty clear that you only liked 3 songs haha



Just surprised you don't at least like Fall From Grace and some of the others, but to each their own. Are you not a big MA fan? Or just this album?

"Everything on this album does except some of the random instrumental tracks." I like the interludes, tbh I think it adds a lot to this album and puts it ahead of some other MA work.

Elite album agreed m/

Interludes! I couldn't think of that word LOL



I like Desolate Ways, but the others not so much. But honestly I sort of remembered there being more interludes than there actually are.

A Tribute to Insanity is still the best album to use this cover.

Nah, I think A Tribute to Insanity is reasonably one-ear-in-and-out-the-other thrash. Not bad, but not even fit to lace early MA's boots.

Album Rating: 2.5

The closest analogue I often hear to A Tribute to Insanity is either Destruction and Mercyful Fate which is generally a combination that lesser bands would screw up immensely, making the idea that it's "one-ear-in-and-out-the-other thrash" needlessly dismissive. Mike Wead's writing on that album is on a much higher level than this one. Hell, As Darkness Falls practically predicted how Nocturnus would end up writing entire albums.

Your opinion.

Which I don't share.

Well, that's all well and good, but basically calling it derivative is a generally ridiculous claim when its writing shows elements and application on future death metal releases like The Key (which are lauded as revolutionary). Saying "it's thrash and therefore inferior because it's not death metal" is not compelling.

I'm not calling it "derivative". I'd even say that it's got a nice dark mood and some good lead work. Songwriting-wise tho? Nope, it's not even got an ounce of the memorability factor Blessed Are the Sick has on me PERSONALLY. This is not a blanket statement, it's just a personal subjective experience (that just seems to be shared by many metalhead around the globe).

My subjective take. Take it or leave it.

Slow news day today

Album Rating: 2.5

Are you kidding me? Everything from As Darkness Falls to Requiem is some of the most memorable stuff in the genre. The dark mood comes from the riffing and melodies, not just Wead's superb lead playing.
