Kusangii: Popular metal bands I can't stand

garas 09.28.22	Rammstein might grow on you later though. Where are you from?
IsisScript80 09.28.22	"I think German sounds terrible in music, especially metal" Really? That's an odd one... as a language, it sounds especially metal I reckon.
kkarron 09.28.22	Holy shit, I think I agree with every single take here except for Rammstein to a degree. I agree that they have a lot of filler in their career, but if you think German doesn't belong in heavy music, you need to listen to some Laibach in a sealed off, dark room.
swipenet 09.28.22	RIP Serj Tankian You gotta admit the BYOB riff is solid though
StormChaser 09.28.22	Opeth have more riffs in 1 song than your favorite band has on their entire album
kevbogz 09.28.22	no tool ?
kkarron 09.28.22	"Korn Korn Super duper boring, like 99% of nu-metal" They should've just started a Helmet cover band instead.
el_newg 09.28.22	regarding Meshuggah and Ulcerate it kinda seems like you are missing the point of the music. what makes them so good is exactly what you don’t like. just means it isn’t for you I guess. as for the rest of the list they are pretty room temperature takes. except for the Gorguts one wtf man lol
Koris 09.28.22	Don't lie. You're Crying because your riffs are trash.
WretchedCacophony 09.28.22	Assuming an artist is pretentious for making a grand soundscape is pretty asinine. Might want to let Beethoven and Mozart know that their grand symphonies are pretentious because your empty head can't process their masterpieces lol.
DamnVanne 09.28.22	I mostly agree with you here, but you have Opeth and Ulcerate on a list with Volbeat and Korn and that’s in really ok
AlexKzillion 09.28.22	this anti-ulcerate propaganda in the midst of the sput royale will not be tolerated mods!
foxblood 09.28.22	german belongs in metal and 6 is probably the best death metal album ever made
Pikazilla 09.28.22	Slipknot are one of the worst 'metal' bands of all time.
Kusangii 09.28.22	@Wretched What band are you comparing to Beethoven? Either way that is a hilarious comparison. They could only dream of being as great as Beethoven.
Kusangii 09.28.22	Can't believe I forgot Gojira btw, updated with the best quote in history
Minortimbo12 09.28.22	i like soad but other than that good list
PitchforkArms 09.28.22	5, 6, 17 - big L :(
SomeCallMeTim 09.28.22	music in general is bad so list is accurate
Kusangii 09.28.22	Every single metal band in history rips off either Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Diamond Head or At the Gates yeah
Thranth 09.28.22	Im stealing that Gojira comment holy shit lol where is that from
Kusangii 09.28.22	@Thranth https://www.metal-archives.com/users/bitterman Take a look at his reviews
foxblood 09.28.22	19 is perfect back metal, I rarely hear anything nearly as good in any genre
DamnVanne 09.28.22	Where tf is Pantera. You better not be elevating Pantera above anyone on this list
Steiner 09.28.22	Solid list. Agreed with very few exceptions.
Kusangii 09.28.22	I have actually never really given Pantera a proper listen, so it would be unfair to list them here. But there's probably a chance that they would end up here, yes. Back metal rules agreed m/
JokineAugustus 09.29.22	Agree with a bunch besides 2,4,5,6 and From Mars to Sirius by Gojira.
Space Jester 09.29.22	Why are there so many of these shit lists today
Asdfp277 09.29.22	brave list
AlexKzillion 09.29.22	i'm a trendsetter what can i say???
Space Jester 09.29.22	Yours was bad too
Kusangii 09.29.22	Sorry to disappoint you Jester
SitarHero 09.29.22	Popular metals I can't stand: 1. Gold - ugh, so overrated and ostentatious. Of all the shiny shit we picked to be precious, this was one of the best? 2. Lead - Poisons you and shit. And is heavy, but not in a good way. 3. Aluminium - I actually like aluminium, but I hate people who say AloominUM. 4. Uranium - Radioactive bad. 5. Cadmium - Sounds like chocolate, but doesn't taste like chocolate.
Space Jester 09.29.22	“Sorry to disappoint you Jester” Don’t let it happen again
cylinder 09.29.22	"I think German sounds terrible in music," k... rude also, complaining about short acoustic interludes makes you look like a huge pleb fyi
SomeCallMeTim 09.29.22	Implying CAN is bad means choosing death
sonictheplumber 09.29.22	Gotta admit this was a fun read
Asdfp277 09.29.22	yeah, fun list even if objectively wrong at times lol
Kusangii 09.29.22	The one and only Rowhaus inspired me to do it @cylinder I don't mind acoustic interludes. I do however mind when you overdo it, and Opeth is a perfect example of that
Kusangii 09.29.22	This list is supposed to be taken seriously but at the same time not I guess. It's really harsh but a bit true.
Space Jester 09.29.22	Tbh I agree with this except for 1 2 4 5 and 6, even if the hype Opeth and Meshuggah get are a bit wild but both have made some pretty great shit
Muzz79 09.29.22	"A poor mans Insomnium. Where are the riffs?" Answer: Everywhere. They take Insomnium to a new level bruh. Try Abeyance, Remnants and Roots to Sever to start
Deez 09.29.22	'Avant-garde? More like avant-arse' : (
swipenet 09.29.22	Be'lakor is full of og riffs ye, at least on the older albums
swipenet 09.29.22	You def also did 5FDP dirty, they don't belong with the rest
Kusangii 09.29.22	Yeah looking at this list "objectively" it is actually a bit absurd to compare those bands. Of course Meshuggah, Opeth, Ulcerate, Gorguts etc are better than those shit bands.
swipenet 09.29.22	Yea Pon would have a word with you over Ulcerate
Kusangii 09.29.22	He has shit as much on Persefone so I think it would be even
evilford 09.29.22	5fdp is shitty dad metal, u got that part right
Space Jester 09.29.22	Persefone deserves it tho
Thranth 09.29.22	I cant stop laughing at the gojira quote
Thranth 09.29.22	gorguts take is dogshit btw
AlexKzillion 09.29.22	gojira quote is truly one of the transcendent quotes of our millennia
Kusangii 09.29.22	It's legendary
swipenet 09.29.22	That guy's reviews are all 0% except for one 50% for a live album from a band he likes with the complaint "ruined by cheering humans" lmao
Thranth 09.29.22	just discovered deathmetal.org from bittermans metal archives profile
Kusangii 09.29.22	Yeah. EIF riffs like a mother fucker and the rest of their albums doesn't even come close.
swipenet 09.30.22	Where's Disturbed
KnickFurey 09.30.22	Based list. Gorguts though?! How dare thee.
evilford 09.30.22	Missed gorguts here. You hate like all of my favorite bands, sweet
Kusangii 09.30.22	@swipenet I can actually stand them in VERY small dozes @evilford nice =) Wouldn't surprise me if I do a complete 180 on Gorguts sometime though. On paper I should like them. But Obscura is just nope nope nope.
swipenet 09.30.22	Damn, surprised to hear that tbh lol I'm also guessing that as long as you like a good portion of their work it doesn't matter how bad some of it is, a la In Flames
Kusangii 10.01.22	Me too haha. Kind of a guilty pleasure in small dozes. And yes that's correct. If I didn't like the early work of In Flames they would definitely end up here.
Thranth 10.01.22	believe it or not 15 was one of the first "extreme" metal bands ive ever heard
Scornfyre 10.04.22	I especially agree with the Volbeat one. They truly are abnoxious as hell. The only one I disagree with is SOAD, but that's moreso up to personal preference I guess. Their pure musicality isn't the main draw for me. Their music is something of an entertaining comedy. Like listen to Prison Song and X as examples. You can't tell me those songs don't entertain at the very least.
JeremiahBullfrog 10.04.22	You had me laughing and enjoying this list until Burzum. Burzum is the reason those Atmospheric bands you refer to exist, and the first 4 album run is legendary omfg delete this.
KnickFurey 10.04.22	Nah Burzum is bin tier.
JeremiahBullfrog 10.04.22	I can't even with you people.
Kusangii 10.04.22	Maybe you're right Jeremiah but Burzum is just so boring. @Scorn it's really not something good if you listen to a band for comedy lmao
Boognish79 11.11.22	Meshuggah, Opeth and Gojira are all great.
Eakflanderyof 11.11.22	So I'm not the only person that thinks Be'lakor is boring as shit after all
Spec 11.11.22	Boring as all fuck. Rammstein sucks too. A few others are already obvious.
KnickFurey 11.11.22	Cant stand Be'lakor either tbh.
Thranth 11.11.22	rammstein sucks hard
Kusangii 11.11.22	Be'lakor are just a snooze-fest yeah. Rammstein blows too yeah. Meshuggah, Opeth and Gojira are the most overrated metal bands yeah
