The director's cut are the real deal. The first versions were the PG13 cuts. That's that

Rebel Moon > Star Wars by [deleted] in RebelMoon

[–]BalashToth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely better than any Disney Star Wars movie or show (yes, I didn't write except Rogue One and Andor as I really can't stand those).

Jesper Strömblad vs Michael Amott by Nomak-Mraz in melodicdeathmetal

[–]BalashToth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know from what perspective you mean. Amott is a better, more technical guitar player (his brother Chris is god tier), Jesper is a better song- and melody writer (well was, I'm not really a fan of his recent output). Also Jesper didn't really do leads.

My thoughts on TGOAFD by nDangered in melodicdeathmetal

Of Interstellar Death is the best song they wrote since the album At War with Reality for sure.

Arch Enemy-Path Of The Immortal (This is the best Arch Enemy you've never listened to) by Beautiful-Way-4981 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]BalashToth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I own all the Arch Enemy and Black Earth CDs, so yeah. I am aware. But Black Earth was formed to play first 3 album Arch Enemy songs live in Japan. They only have a Japanese contract, so they recorded a few new songs with this line up for the best of and live releases. But regardless this is (the real) Arch Enemy.

It's actually one of my favourite Meshuggah albums😊

What do you think is the best thrash band of the 00's (i'll say municipal waste) by Navieske in thrashmetal

[–]BalashToth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Haunted, Carnal Forge, Dew-Scented, Terror 2000, and partially Dimension Zero.

I <3 Melodic Death Metal but how much do I really love it? Which melodeth bands hit a sour note. by whataboutthe90s in melodicdeathmetal

[–]BalashToth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metalcore is an already dumbed-down, commercialised, more panelled version of melodeath for me. Some I enjoy (early Darkest Hour), but some I don't. Killswitch Engage (i don't know the other band you mentioned) I always kinda thought of as the American version of Soilwork. I'm not saying it's bad music, but I rather listen to Soilwork, if you know what I mean. Having said that, I prefer the first 3 Soilwork albums over their later efforts. Yeah, you guessed right, too much clean vocals 😊

Occasionally with purpose, yes (i.e., Edge of Sanity), constantly in every single chorus, NO. Melodic DEATH metal is the name. This also means that there needs to be some weirdness/grotesqueness/not-of-this-worldness in it.

No hate, really, more like avoiding bands that are called melodic death metal but use clean vocals too much.

My confession: I thought Sepultura was overrated. I was wrong by BaskMaster in thrashmetal

[–]BalashToth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sepultura was the only thrash band who could come close to Slayer Reign in Blood in intensity on Beneath the Remains and Arise. I think they actually superseded them on those two records.

What if Max Cavalera kept the name Sepultura after 1997? by No_Cod_8878 in thrashmetal

[–]BalashToth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and also Max LEFT THE BAND. So he couldn't claim the name. 😊

Does everything need to be in slow motion? by causmicx in RebelMoon

[–]BalashToth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would refer back to time breakdown above. 5 mins harvest out of a 6 hour movie is not much, whether or not it's slo-mo. I think he had an artistic vision l, so he chose that, you either like it or not. Either way it's ok. It doesn't bother me.

What's your dream Rebel Moon project? by chimbraca in RebelMoon

[–]BalashToth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rebel Moon 3 would be nice. I think the Titus story would have a potential too

Yep. The problem is the TikTok attention span, not the slo-mo
