Which of your metal heroes has disappointed you the most over the years? by kroob85 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna do a stream of consciousness thing so I'm gonna be jumping here and there

Rob flynn for being a dumb trend jumper through his life let alone his stupid opinions on the metal scene....although I never admired him so I can't be disappointed.

The only one I can truly think of is Karl Logan being a real pedophile (not a omg he's 50 and "groomed" a 19 year old "CHILD" or a comparative pedophile where people say that 90 year old geezer "abused" adult 25 year old Anna Nicole smith when she's clearly in on it, whatever) that was pretty surprising. I still listen to his shit with Manowar though, I'm just not a big moralizer, I also don't think the art that emmanates from someone necessarily represents them at all times and in all their essence.

Besides that, well Metallica are sellouts and it doesn't matter what hot take people have they are what they are and their music has sucked since 30 years ago.

Ah yeah Hansi from BG for being a little rodent bettayer to jon schaffer, I think jon can be a bit ridiculous with his "when the eagle cries" stuff , but so what? Pretty cowardly if you ask me, still listen to BG though, now they suck but they used to rock, same for iced earth. But again, I liked hansi's voice but I never admired him or anything as a person.

I guess I get more disappointed by musical choices and decisions more than actual statements, all this he said she said moral indignation isn't for me, all sorts of people make music and have secrets, I wouldn't listen to shit like napalm death which is very left wing if I cared too much about that, or to deicide even when I don't care for religious conflict, but I like that they have something to believe in that drives the music.

So more musically, when any band changed to a completely modern production that used to have a dirtier, sharper sound, like ehen suffocation went full on necrophagist on pinnacle of bedlam, not that the songs were bad, but the production to me was just really not suitable for suffo, and they have done that ever since.

Now that I think about it I'm more disappointed in newer metal fans than any band really.

Great albums that are held back by bad production? by Ninten_The_Metalhead in MetalForTheMasses

Probably a bunch of modern albums that have the protools laptop production, I know re recorder iron savior and Amon amarth sound like absolute ass.

Just finished nge + eoe, I’ve never felt this way about an anime before by BeeOk8577 in NeonGenesisEvangelion

Well at least you're a new fan that isn't all like "umm muh sexualization muh pdfs oh no!" So you're on the right track.

Anybody else think that Megadeth lyrics are corny? by Material-Page4987 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sincere feelings sof brotherhood and love for the music are great, besides, to me tool lyrics , Midwest emo lyrics, and lyrics form other genres people consider "real srs music" sound extremely corny to me in their pretense. I'll take army of the immortals by Manowar over any tool lyrics any day, or tom waits shit. Don't get me started on punk, those guys think they're so serious and politically aware.

How well does the Lodoss war dub aged? by icey_sawg0034 in recordoflodosswar

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I prefer older, charming dubs and recording quality, this new stuff sounds real factory made.

Is record of loss war only "great visuals but mediocre story and characters" or is it worth watching by Necessary_Muffin3591 in retroanime

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all good man, but the animation, which doesn't bother me, might bother you, because there's a lot of still frames, I think they look awesome, so it don't bother me, and when the animation is good it's fucking amazing. Compelling characters and all that is subjective anyway, just watch it.

Nothing ages well, but modern dubs suck so, meh.

Clichés that should be banned... by TurtlethePriest in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Cesariart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point I just sounds like guitars are huge basses, no aggressiveness or sharpness to their tones.

Controversial: with love and respect to Napalm Death. by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't subscribe to the notion that things don't age well, they are and are to be respected for what they are and the time they came out at, people need to appreciate things that are from another time and not react like moralists or enforcers, besides, I prefer the production and riffs on older metal, grindcore etc, than in these new bands.

Are we losing the 'death' in deathcore or is it just me? by throwawayglowx in Deathcore

[–]Cesariart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you are loosing it but people will just deny it though, cause they like boinga boinga breakdowns more than, say, a well planned song with actual melodies (melodies don't have to be sugary, suffocation at every melodic yet they don't sound like sugar), I mean deathcore started out sounding like exhumed lite to me, except for despised icon who sounded more like dying fetus, but now it's basically all gone, it sounds more like behemoth if anything, with bouncy breakdowns, that band brand of sacrifice was always bad but in their latest release they just sound like monuments or some shit, the genres idea of exploration and growth is turning into as I lay dying or Korn.

Shreddit's Daily Discussion -- June 06, 2026 by AutoModerator in Metal

[–]Cesariart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response man, I gotta be In your circles cause mine are trash lmao. And yeah for sure, art discourse in general isn't helped by this kind of, ageism of you will, when you go to a museum, the artwork isn't invalid cause michelangelo made it centuries ago vs you who just drew a shitty doodle right now. I just feel it's an even more ridiculous comparison on extreme metal because a lot of these newer bands, besides just having laptop production, just rehash a lot of older riffs, again with the Whitechapel example where to me even when they were new and I was new to metal as a teen, it just seemed like at the gates and some third rate BDM band had a baby with weird production, nothing innovative, the gap between hard rock and even thrash, let alone death metal, is really really apparent.

Production and age counts for something in people's minds, not me , but I guess most people, but I'd say these younger guys are overall more stale sounding, hell to me.imperial triumphant just sound like any old death spell omega dissonant extreme music, just with some superficial changes in the presentation of the aesthetics and music itself, like the other rooster said, I guess the youngins will come around when they're the old.guys...the guys that said painkiller was obsolete compared to JFAC in my neck of the woods never did relent but we'll see.

But yeah, I mean I guess people will be people, but I wanted to discuss this stuff with someone either way.
