Response: 10 Terrible Metal Albums (That aren't St. Anger)

[@alexparadise91]

Pretty much anything from 5fdp. I can’t really say that they aren’t talented because they can play, it’s just that they don’t really do anything interesting or exciting with their songwriting or musical ideas (to me). One of the reasons I love Slipknot is because I can see them branch out into other styles and keep it relatively interesting. I am a big fan of vol. 3 and their last album WANYK because they had the confidence to write different sounding songs like “spiders” or “my pain” and still have heavier sounding material like “orphan” and “solway firth” and “not long for this world”. Even though they might not always hit the nail on the head or execute it perfectly, they still have an interest in not trying to remain stagnant and repetitive. And for that I can at least respect their efforts But bands like 5fdp and disturbed and six feet under just stay in their lane and all of their stuff is really interchangeable and not very distinct. I just don’t really get anything out of it personally. No hate to anyone who does. (Also thank you guys for introducing me to Temple of Void, been jamming that recently)

[@FeRReTNS]

In Flames hurts the most for me, Jotun was the song that got me into metal. I hung in until 'Soundtrack to Your Escape' (barely), but from then on it was a completely different band. Every release after that I prayed and hoped they would come back to some of their original sound, but it's just disappointment after disappointment.

[@magellan1000]

Agreed. Whoracle is the album that got me into harsh vocals and it’s really a bummer how far they’ve fallen.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough I started with Reroute to Remain when that dropped and worked my way backwards and found the stuff I really latched on to. Once the sound really started shifting on A Sense of Purpose I was getting more hesitant about buying new albums from them. Siren Charms pretty much just shit in my heart though.

[@magellan1000]

@@thrallsofmetal That's a fair assessment. For me the Lunar Strain through Clayman era is great. The Reroute to Remain through Come Clarity era is good. A Sense of Purpose through Siren Charms I wasn't really enjoying but was still trying to force myself to like them. Battles and I, the Mask are just so awful that I've completely given up.

[@rossamccann72]

I can stand some of the later in flames catalogue(up to sounds of a playground at the absolute latest) but pretty much solely because I enjoy the guitar parts on songs like drenched in fear and tilt. They sound like a weird hybrid of metalcore, melodeath and alt rock in their 2006 plus stuff. I actually noticed how much Anders friden sounds like Olly Sykes(bring me the horizon) when he sings certain parts (like in the bridge of all for me on sounds of a playground) Def not the melodic death giants they once were

Diablous in Musica is pretty good 🤷‍♂️. Paul Bostaph kills it on that album, too. Got it the day it came out and listened to it as recently as a month ago. I’ll take “bad” Slayer over bad Megadeth, bad Metallica, bad Anthrax or just about anything any day.

[@saltpeter7429]

The only reason I've ever heard people site for hating Diabolus is that it is down tuned. Really? Cant handle that? Great fuckin album, saw them twice on that tour, it was great. Why the hate though? It is SLAYER, it is heavy, and Bostaph is a monster. Faster doesnt necessarily mean better.

[@williambayley6903]

I actually Diablous - I enjoyed it when it came out and recently picked up a vinyl copy which meant I listened to it again and yeah it is no way near as bad as everyone likes to make out! I remember seeing them playing Stain of Mind live around the time and it was great live. I like Bitter Peace too.....

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I think Diabolus is better than St. Anger and Risk. It's kind of a tie with Vol. 8 or Stomp 442 though for me. Still, not great.

[@ScreaminT81]

Nu Metal Slayer is pretty good? 🤣👍

[@kennethmartinez1167]

Diabolus is a great album..yes it was different but so what? Nothing is wrong with change, I'd say everything after GHUA is when slayer started phoning it in. But at this point slayer was still killing it. All the reasons this guy is giving for not liking it just tells me he's a close minded purest that thinks anything past 1989 is automatically trash

Best way to describe Illud Divinum Insanus in short is this: It's what Formulas Fatal To The Flesh would've sounded with David Vincent in the band, only over a decade late.

[@NocturnalSilence45]

[@tilman9506]

Nightmares of the decomposed is worse than st anger. I would argue that Chris Barnes vocals were essentially Lars’s snare. I do enjoy the melody on invisible kid for the first couple times, I can’t anything positive about that 6 feet under album

And then I bought the Pandemonium record and my smile just faded away. I don't remember the last time an album offended and disappointed me in such a way. Sure, there's worse albums out there but that one hurt me. And the fact Jammin' Jon put Pandemonium above Emperor still boggles me.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I pretty much got them in the same order when the Century Media reissues came out and I was pretty disappointed as well. Really says something about the album when you open with a cover song. All those moaned vocals really started irritating me after awhile too. We still give Jon a bit of shit for that ranking especially Cold Lake.

One of those albums is the earlier-mentioned Unholy Hymns for the Children. The nine albums are named as follows: 1. 666 B.C.-Volume 1: The Burning Years 2. 666 A.D.-Volume 2: The Scorched Years 3. Bite the Snake 4. As the Demon Dances Under the Blood Red Sky 5. Dying to See You 6. Fuck in the Fire 7. Killing You Softly 8. Unholy Hymns for the Children [which was the first of the bunch announced] 9. The Devil Made You Do It

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I'm not sitting through 9 albums worth of Psycho Trash and we're probably skipping Bullet for My Valentine too. You forgot new albums from Deceased, Chruchburn, Extinction A.D., Heads for the Dead, Mortiferum, Outre Tombe and Scarecrow too.

[@The_JustJoshing]

Not to be an elitist but, really? Psycho Sinner? I didn’t know that band had actual fans. Who the hell releases 9 albums on the same day? As for BFMV, they are as generic as metalcore comes. The only interesting thing they’ve done is Scream Aim Fire which was an admirable attempt at combining metalcore with thrash, but it had already been done way better by Trivium on their Crusade album. And that barely had any metalcore elements.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I definitely agree that it doesn't fit in Judas Priest's discography. It honestly feels more like a Rob Halford solo project because his voice is the only think Judas Priest about that album. Honestly, out of that entire list I do like that Raunchy album. The 80's pop meets metalcore/ melodeath thing kinda works for me on that one.

[@joshuaklesel8177]

I actually like The Haunted. I know it's definitely not up to par with the majority of their material. Which is usually pretty killer. This is just on a different path all together. So I understand why people hate on it hard. But I actually liked it more than I thought I was going to. It's just not terrible IMO. Not great. But not bad.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- It's one I've tried repeatedly to go back and give it another chance but it really doesn't do much for me at all. There's a few moments that are OK but I don't think they were all on the same page when they wrote that one.

[@BornFromTheGrave]

Grave "Hating Life" took me awhile to get into when it first came out cause SOULLESS was awesome and when Jorgen Sandstrom left GRAVE for ENTOMBED I wasn't too Happy with the vocals of Ola Lindgren. It took years for me to adjust to his style. The album has a few good tracks but compared to earlier material it wasn't great.

[@homunculusprime647]

I wholeheartedly disagree with your choice of Diabolus. Maybe it's because I discovered slayer before I learned to be very discerning and had just come off of my nu metal phase but i thought it was good. Definitely not their best but I dont get the comments about the lack of urgency and energy (Scrum?, Point?) It even opens up with Bitter Peace which is a ripping thrasher if I've ever heard one. I've always looked at this record as Slayer showing the world what nu metal could sound like if it were actually good. Spot on with all the others though.

[@saltpeter7429]

Fuck yeah. Stand up for DIABOLUS. POINT was killer, the rest of it was good enough. Saw them twice in one week on that tour.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Strangely enough, I was in my nu metal phase when I got Diabolus but that wasn't what I wanted from Slayer. I wanted that hyper aggressive fast sound again because that was kinda my escape from a lot of the more groove centric metal that was out then. Bitter Peace is a banger and Scrum and Point are decent but the rest of it is a really lackluster listen. It just felt like all the energy had left the band for the most part and they'd been bucking trends for years but here they were settling in one. Yeah, it's still not for me.

[@homunculusprime647]

@@thrallsofmetal Yeah, I suppose in light of some of the other songs on the record I can see your point though I do really like Stain of Mind. I just think that the several good tracks elevate it far past St. Anger territory. With that said I doubt this is anyone's go to Slayer record though. Anyways, thanks for doing what you guys do. I don't have any metal friends so your content is quite refreshing. Keep it up!

[@carlosjantarada7212]

I agree. More than Nu Metal I think many of the tracks there are hard core inspired (lots of Biohazard influences especially on Stain Of Mind, Love To Hate, Wicked and Screaming From The Sky). On the other hand there's a couple of Nu Metal drum lines here and there (Death's Head is a blatant example although I kinda like the song) and others that mix some of the whispered intros with some elements of Divine Intervention (namely Desire and Overt Enemy). Other than that the remainder is pretty much in Divine's vein with In The Name Of God, Point and Scrum being cool enough songs as far as I'm concerned. Then there's Bitter Peace and man... this song wrecks everything in it's path. After the intro this is pristine top notch Seasons In The Abyss like Slayer and has a place in my band's top ten songs. So do I think Diabolus is a great album?... well not quite. IMO it lacks some consistency and there are too many songs I regard as fillers rendering it a bit uneven. On the other hand it features some great moments here and there, the Hard Core influence does not shock me and to be fair Slayer was the band that changed the least during the 90's from the so called big 4. IMO God Hates Us All (with the exception of Disciple, New Faith and Payback - all good songs) sounds way more Nu Metal to me (plus I really dislike its guitar sound) and apart from the songs I mentioned is absolutely dull. Not to mention Repentless that IMO is a void of ideas and a drag to listen for more than a couple of songs. But even those two albums aren't garbage per se. Only drop dead boring.

[@homunculusprime647]

I was a huge In Flames fan back in '06 when I first heard their album Come Clarity which I think is a solid album. But the earlier albums are what set the bar for me because since they're the pioneers of Melodic Death Metal and holy shit their material all the way up to Clayman as well as Reroute to Remain were absolute bangers. It kind of makes me upset they might never go back to their old roots but who knows what'll happen right? lol anyways I love their old stuff all the way up to Come Clarity.

Aside from Nostradamus and Supercharger I agree with all these. Albums like Unseen, Diabolus in Musica, and Hating Life were merely great bands punching under their own weight, but they could easily come back and release a killer album, which they all did. However, albums like Illud Divinum Insanus, Amerikkkant, The Path of Totality, and Siren Charms were disasters that tainted the reputation of all bands who made them. I'm lucky I never heard of that nu metal band at the end but I'm assuming they're something like Crazy Town or Limp Bizkit.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I think with any longevity in music you're going to have missteps along the way. Maybe buckling to trends, label pressure or just simply phoning in a performance it does tend to happen. Occasionally bands will just shit the bed like Morbid Angel did though. lol. As for that last abomination, it's one of the few things I would say Crazy Town is better than. Yeah, that bad.

Unseen possibly could have been good but I don't think the band was all in on the change in musical direction honestly. It felt like they wanted to make a Katatonia album but missed the mark. I'm glad they got Marco back and got back to business.

Respect to you for saying you liked Nu Metal. I fucking hated it. Born in 1980. I was let down by metal when that stuff hit the scene. It was a time that luckily has been almost forgotten about now. heheh. And for being a 'Death metal guy' you have so much knowledge dude, about almost any genre. Seen many of the videoes and updates.

[@nu-metalfan2654]

@@thrallsofmetal Big respect for you for saying that some Nu-Metal is okay. As a huge Nu-Metal fan I have big respect for traditional Metal in general, most traditional Metal is a bit too different for me to like but I do love Symphonic Metal with bands like Epica and early Within Temptation. Extreme Metal is far too abrasive for me, I respect it but it’s not for me. You probably wouldn’t like a lot of Nu-Metal that i like as I like the more Rap or Latin influenced stuff, but tbh Nu-Metal made its own fanbase that weren’t Metal fans or even Rap fans, I wasn’t a Metal or a Rap fan but I’ve grown to have a huge respect for Metal and Rap (good 90’s Rap that is, not the modern shit). I have a big respect for Metal, I just wished more traditional Metal fans try to understand and have even just a little bit of respect for Nu-Metal like you at least do.

There are few times in my life where a new album came out that made me angry. The Haunted - Unseen is definitely in there.

Nevermore's last album was horrific compared to the past as well. Paradise Lost - Host as well. I'll defend Diabolus a little. I saw them on that tour (first Slayer show) and Bitter Peace opener was the first insane moshing I've ever seen. Perversions of Pain is my #1 super underrated Slayer track of all time lol. It's not a good album (Stain of Mind is horrible) BUT it's miles better than something like SUPERCHARGER. Regarding In Flames. I haven't listened to the last 3 albums. I'm done. I don't care.

Necrotic Nick- For awhile I was pretty ride or die with The Haunted and while Versus wasn't their best it was still pretty solid. I thought The Dead Eye was a cool, more experimental album too and that's kinda what I thought I might get with Unseen. What I got was pretty damn close to Unlistenable. I thought about throwing Transgression from Fear Factory on this one but I already had a lot in the running. I think that one is way worse than Digimortal honestly. I was fortunate to finally see Slayer in '04 when Dave came back and they were back to ripping it up then. When I saw them before at Tattoo the Earth they didn't play much of anything from Diabolus. Yeah, In Flames is pretty much dead to me now as well. I don't think they have it in them to write another classic sounding album again.

[@DefenestratedMessiah]

​@@magellan1000 I actually thought the same thing when it first came out. I was pretty let down by Jomsviking and was desperate for its followup to be better. At face value, it did seem to fix some of those "problems" initially, but now that I've had time to let it sink in, I think it's even worse, the epitome of "paint by numbers" metal...dull, bland, uninspired and lacking any creative vitality. Disagree about *most* of their albums being samey, each album had a pretty definitive identity down to Twilight..., but afterwards it did get a bit repetitive. In that sense, Berzerker might stand out a tad from the bunch, but only as a creative nadir.

[@josh-foss]

I know it's disqualified but St. Anger..........with the exception of the singles, I never listened to it due to reputation. On January 11th 2019 (a day that shall live in infamy) I ordered the CD from Amazon to complete the discography, downloaded the digital copy, and proceeded to listen to it all in one sitting. Now, I have amassed a fairly substantial music library over the last few decades and have purchased more than my fair share of bowl swirlers in that time but I swear to all that is unholy, not one of them made me as angry to listen to as St. Trashcanlid. I still have PTSD from the snare that Lars pounds relentlessly, the horrible vocals that an overly verbose Hetfield unleashes without tonal regard, song structures that were so repetitious I ran out of hair on my head to pull out and started working on my face, and the production........Christ almighty. Granted I haven't listened to many albums on this list but some I have and not one of them, not one, has ever made me both angry and fatigued to anywhere near that degree. I was hopeful that it wasn't as bad as people said but I was wrong, so very very wrong. I would rather listen to FFDP's entire discography than sit through that ever again and trust me when I say, that means a lot. Honorable mention to any "metal" band described as crabcore, that utilizes autotune in any fashion, or that has a music video showing the band doing that jogging in place thing.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- St. Anger may be the reason I despise the "slam metal snare" so much because that's all I can here is that trash can bullshit snare from St. Anger. Garbage production all around, not a single solo to be found, cringe lyrics... this really checked off a lot of boxes for "terrible album" right away.

LOL Don't hate me Nick but, as a diehard Grave fan...i actually liked Grave's Hating Life. It was stripped down, mid tempo and considering it came out right in the middle of the Grunge Move-shit!! It literally held me from blowing my wig back in 96' the same can be said from the mighty Dismember's Maximum Killing Capacity same song structures, tempo's and i loved that album too for the same obvious reasons lol. BUT!! i will mention ONE album that makes me cringe to this day and was a travesty IMO was Entombed's To ride, die, and speak the truth that album pissed me off so bad when i heard it i smashed it on my driveway! That album right there was the band's demise from then on out with that Death n Roll BS as to me? it was the blueprint for In Flames demise along with many others.... Killer reviews bro keep em coming!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- No hate, bro. lol. I get what they were trying to go for on that one with the stripped down groove metal sound but man... it's pretty damn awful in my opinion. Being a metal band in the mid to late 90's was hell though and there was a lot of the whole "fight to remain relevant" since the trend was kind of to shit on metal at the time. Those Dismember and Entombed releases while not great, I think were a bit better. I still love the title track on To Ride but most of that album is just a weaker Wolverine Blues to me. Thanks again for checking out the vids, man!

[@deathstruggle4136]

I agree with many albums, like morbid angel or machine head. But I really like "hating life" from Grave and Siren Charms was also a great album of In Flames. Sure it was a complete rupture, but in my opinion In Flames is one band that made so many changes and still remained awesome as hell! But sure I get why many people dislike siren charms, when I listened to it for the first time, I also felt like "wtf? This is kinda weird" but it grew on me by time. I also like "diabolus in musica" by Slayer, sure not one of their best albums, but not as bad as "undisputed attitude"

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- While I appreciate both In Flames and Grave's earlier works (actually a pretty fair amount of Grave recent stuff too) both of those really missed for me. Hating Life sounded like a completely different band and just turned their sound into kinda faceless groove metal and In Flames essentially was a different band at that point. After Jesper left the fold the quality of the releases from In Flames really dropped for me and as many times as I've tried to give Siren Charms a chance it's still not my thing. With Slayer, at least Undisputed Attitude was just a cover album minus the abysmal Gemini, but Diabolus was all their writing. As a punk fan I can at least appreciate those covers for what they are.

[@deathstruggle4136]

Those were the last albums I bought by them. It's really sad what has happened to that band.

Necrotic Nick- If you've made it this far without listening to that garbage ass album then keep that streak alive, bro! lol. Yeah, Nostradamus was just an ill conceived idea and the wrong way to follow up a nice comeback album. In Flames started losing me around A Sense of Purpose. I may have held on too long when it came down to that band though.

I agree with you nick that one was the worst one yet

Being a old school Swedish death metal fan the grave album was a huge disappointment The slayer one has a couple of good tracks like perversions of pain and love to hate which reminds a it of south of heaven definitely not there best work but I wouldn't put in the same category as the rest of those piles of shit
