Favorite Metal Albums

[Aglifter]

Assuming you don't like pre-pubescent voices, "Maximum the Hormone" is not for you. The music is decent, and they can play well, but there's an almost overwhelming sense that you're listening to talented children playing at being metal heads.

This seems to be a theme in current music. Rap always seems to have had plenty of suppressed homosexuality- I always figured that was, to an extent, the source of the misogyny, promiscuity, and obsession with dancing.

There's even a band of angry, effete Communists

[Darrell]

Also throw Hawkwind in there, really a space/acid rock band, but a lot of their stuff is right on the edge of metal - so if you like one you would probably like the other. Some of their more metal like albums would be:

Hall of the Mountain Grille
Doremi Faso Latido
Levitation
In Search of Space
Space Ritual (Live)
and maybe Hawklords-Live (same band, different name due to contract issues with their label at the time)

Quark Strangeness & Charm rocks!

Would Joy Division's Closer be completely off base? Gotta be the darkest album I've ever heard.

Just one? Dude, Angry Effete Communists are EVERYWHERE. They're the entire EMO movement for christs sake.

Sadly, what is today a musical style, would have gotten you called a pussy in 1985.

Let's compare shall we?
Emo, today:
Boy Meets girl.
Boy gets dumped by Girl
Boy whines like a little b*tch.

Slayer, circa 1990:
Boy meets Girl
Boy gets dumped by Girl.
Boy wears her ribcage for a hat.

Manowar circa 1988:
Boy meets Girl
Boy gets dumped by Girl
Boy becomes Viking Warrior.

Motley Crue, Circa 1987:
Boy Meets Girl
Boy gets dumped by Girl
Boy doesn't really care, because he's been nailing both her mom and her sister.

He took little Susie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
and he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the Home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

I doubt Warren could even spell Emo

I doubt seriously any Emo would survive very long in his vicinity

Now I have an image of Josef Stalin and Che Guevara making MySpace pages where they can post their poetry that they don't want anyone to read. Then when someone does read their poems Joe and Che cut themselves in rage regardless if the readers liked the poems or not.

Also the idea Josef Stalin in eyeliner and trying to do the "emo kid photoshoot" thing where you try to get a profile shot of you while you're looking all depressed fills my day with joy.
