arthropod: Hot takes | Sputnikmusic

Hawks 09.23.25	The descriptions for 5-8 make me wanna die.
RVAHC13 09.23.25	2 and 3 have me convinced you’re a Sonoma alt
FearThyEvil 09.23.25	4 is the only correct take. The rest are terrible
DoofDoof 09.23.25	4 is the worst take of the lot
RVAHC13 09.23.25	You want a hot take, Contradictions Collapse is 6’s best album lol
evilford 09.23.25	" Meshuggah The Violent Sleep of Reason Borderline unlistenable." You're dead to me.
jrlikestodance 09.23.25	4/5 are hard 5s. 6 is top tier Shug. I agree on The Fall of Ideals. It is proto buttrockcore despite a few slaps
Emim 09.23.25	Nirvana sucks but the rest of this is solidly incorrect
arthropod 09.23.25	I do that rather well, don't you think?
Emim 09.23.25	I take it back, maneskin is poo juice too
Zac124 09.23.25	Saying the screams in CC are bad is a piping hot take
Calc 09.23.25	bad does not equal hot
arthropod 09.23.25	Bold of you to assume there is such a thing as a good or bad take.
evilford 09.23.25	Lul trve
rockarollacola 09.23.25	the sun has cooler takes
Calc 09.23.25	"Bold of you to assume there is such a thing as a good or bad take." I'm a very bold man.
RogueNine 09.24.25	You shut your mouth for 6. But I'm OK with the rest.
unclereich 09.24.25	hot take i am not straight
kodama 09.24.25	3, 8 and 9 make me think you're legit high
Futures 09.24.25	if you don't dig the riffs on 3 you need to turn in your man card bub
arthropod 09.24.25	riffs alone would cut it, frankly
evilford 09.24.25	U right for 4 ill give u that
arthropod 10.27.25	Good news: I have enough likely controversial takes to make two sequels to this list.
BaselineOOO 10.27.25	"Metallica Load This is one of their best albums and it tops most of their thrash era." Not a very impressive feat considering their thrash era is pretty much a joke. Load is better, I agree, and The Black Album is also much better than their older material.
Hawks 10.27.25	LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
budgie 10.27.25	queen sucks agalloch sucks 99% of death metal sucks nattens madrigal is hugely overrated power metal is not only panteras best record BY FAR but one of the best records of the 80s
TheSonomaDude 10.27.25	2 is so based
BaselineOOO 10.27.25	Metallica's "sellout" phase is actually where their art matured. The earlier thrash records, though influential, sound like sketches, merely youthful exercises in aggression. Doesn't help that before the Black Album James Hetfield sounded like a goat in heat which also barks.
RVAHC13 10.27.25	90% of men should not grow mustaches Oh wait is this only for music?
arthropod 10.27.25	I shaved mine yesterday. @Base I actually like their 80's work, but I see the point. I mean, I personally know people who can't stomach their first 4... hell, I used to hate AJFA myself. The next two are just more concise and with better production.
AlkemestRedux 10.27.25	3 is spot on but I'm a proud Megadeath hater
budgie 10.27.25	every baseline comment ive ever seen reads like something an AI trained on being a dumbass would write
climactic 10.27.25	children of the moon is bad modern ulcerate is mid agalloch sucks [2] new deftones album is meh (ohms too)
Hawks 10.27.25	Some god awful takes in here, damn lmao.
brickhed 10.27.25	it's almost like people have different opinions, its vile when they do that
Hawks 10.27.25	Agreed.
climactic 10.27.25	#2 on this list is the most unhinged
CaliggyJack 10.27.25	You're so based for 9
arthropod 10.27.25	I know. OML is just bittersweet.
RVAHC13 10.27.25	@brickhed you know time was divisive over-opinionation was the lifeblood of this site.
BaselineOOO 10.27.25	"every baseline comment ive ever seen reads like something an AI trained on being a dumbass would write" didn't know you got eyes budgee
DominionMM1 10.27.25	darkthrone are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked most black metal sucks most thrash sucks most jazz sucks primus sucks
RVAHC13 10.28.25	“tops most of their thrash era“ “T(h)rash” “their thrash era is pretty much a joke” “Most thrash sucks” Man this place really is getting lame lol
budgie 10.28.25	thrash is the ultimate metal genre
CaliggyJack 10.28.25	The genre of Jazz doesn't suck but, like Country, is surrounded by mediocrity.
jrlikestodance 10.28.25	Primus sucks [2]
Muzz79 10.28.25	Melodic death metal is the ultimate metal genre. The best metalcore has mdm, the best thrash has mdm, the best progressive metal has mdm and so on
jrlikestodance 10.28.25	As a melodeath aficionado, what would you recommend someone who is generally picky with it and favors the more aggressive side of metalcore?
efp123 10.28.25	five really isn’t an amazing album sorry. It’s good though
bach 10.28.25	Hot take but im a dry beater
TheSonomaDude 10.28.25	offa top of my head my hottest takes are: - nevermore is super overrated - abbey road is one of the weaker Beatles efforts - reinventing the steel and power metal are the two best pantera albums - pantera arent even top 10 for best groove metal bands - countdown to extinction is lame
AlkemestRedux 10.28.25	Thrash is indeed awesome, Megadeath just has never clicked for me. I think its the vocals honestly.
BaselineOOO 10.28.25	who asked? this is arthropod's list, make ur own
TheSonomaDude 10.28.25	hey alkemest can have an opinion dont be mean
RVAHC13 10.28.25	All jokes aside I will agree countdown isn’t one of my favorite md albums
DamnVanne 10.28.25	Delete this
BaselineOOO 10.28.25	In Flames vocalist sounds like the biggest geek in history, so punchable
Muzz79 10.28.25	"As a melodeath aficionado, what would you recommend someone who is generally picky with it and favors the more aggressive side of metalcore?" Aggressive melodeath This Ending – Crowned in Blood Idolatrous – Sorrow on Midgard Atmospheric melodeath Machiavellian God – Beyond the Void Nyktophobia – To the Stars Catchy melodeath Bloodred Hourglass – Your Highness Aktaion – Above Empires Progressive melodeath new An Abstract Illusion new In Mourning
arthropod 10.28.25	Some freaky comments here but it's good to see the thread turning into a proper discussion. "who asked? this is arthropod's list, make ur own" Mind you, when I make a thread I don't exactly want it to be my monologue. Let 'em cook. And yeah, for me the vocals in Megadeth are a turnoff as well.
budgie 10.28.25	people who like sriracha should be put into camps
evilford 10.28.25	Wow
RVAHC13 10.28.25	Cholula>
arthropod 11.16.25	Status update: the description of item #5 edited to reflect my current sentiment towards that album.
