Ten MORE Albums Metal Fans Love To Hate | nolifetilmetal

[@rickwitt5735]

Who the hell doesn't like Youthanasia? That was a fantastic record; one of my favorites. Ridiculous.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Rick Witt I love it as well but when it came out it wasn’t received so well by the core fan base. It is much more melodic and not thrash at all, so I understand why some fans didn’t like it. However I love it and always have. The guitar work is fantastic! The songwriter is fantastic.

"Sound of White Noise" is *the* album that really got me into Anthrax and helped me discover how awesome Armored Saint's "Symbol of Salvation" really is.

[@anypoxynames]

JUgulator has some the finest metal riffs a going. Tim Ripper owens does a mighty fine job, if you ask me.

[@silasrodrigues4838]

Best Priest album EVER in my opinion. If it were Halford singing, absolutely NO ONE would have complained about it.

[@Rextum]

Sorry, not a huge fan of Jugulator. Is it heavy? Certainly. Does Ripper scream excellently? Absolutely. Song-writing is a big problem on it. I like Cathedral Spires, Bullet Train, Jugulator, I guess Burn in Hell is nice. But c’mon, Brain Dead, Dead Meat and Abductors are so generic, it is hard to take those tracks seriously. Jugulator is better than Turbo or Rocka Rolla, but has nothing against the best Priest albums like Painkiller or Unleashed in the East. Ripper Owens or Halford, not a classic album, but not absolute crap either. However, I do respect your opinion. I simply don’t agree with the comment about people hating it because of Ripper Owens👍🏻

I didn't realize Megadeth got flak for Youthanasia. There is some amazing rhythm guitar on that album-- listen to the Dave's guitar on the solo sections for Addicted to Chaos and Train of Consequences.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Sean Armitage Music I love Youthanasia but it was definitely a move into a more melodic sound a move away from Thrash. So I understand why people didn’t like it but at the same time I agree with you that it’s a killer album.

[@USA-jh7ph]

I love Youthanasia!!..great album!!🤘🤘

[@braindead2000]

the X-Factor is actually my favorite Metal album of all time. I always listen from start to finish whenever i'm in a depressed state. It's got their best lyrics (Look for the Truth, The Aftermath, Man on the Edge), amazing melodies (2 AM, Judgement of Heaven, Blood on the World's hands). Blaze was especially powerful on this album. He's a baritone singer which was an odd choice but ultimately he brought Maiden to a sound that still hasn't been matched to this day. Fortunes of War is especially amazing live. The blaze era also evolved Iron Maidens song writing which lead to other amazing albums we know today (Brave New World, A Matter of Life and Death, Book of Souls) I love X-Factor to death. Will always be my personal favorite

[@kingdiamond554]

X Factor is the most underrated maiden album. I love the darker direction and it really fits Blaze's style more so than Virtual XI. 2 AM is a personal favorite

[@draconisthanos]

Thanks for doing these vids. Best songs on Helloween's Chameleon are "Giants" and "I Believe". "First Time " is a fun song too. Funny story about Savatage's Fight For The Rock. I used to work with Dr Kill Drums himself at Mars Music in Tampa Fl (he was a manager), and I brought that album in for him to sign. When I handed it to him, the 1st thing he said was, "Man, that's our worst album". LOL

[@nolifetilmetal1]

draconisthanos LOL. That’s hilarious.

[@JKNDBKSAFDBNSAMDSFD]

Helloween used to be my favorite band some 10-15 years ago, and while i think chameleon is probably their weakest album along with everything after the dark ride, giants was one of my favorite helloween song. I believe is also really good one.

Totally Agree With Youthansia, I still rock to thier album today Great selections, keep going on this format Keep Rocking My Brother 🤟

[@BVR-fc9sn]

Helloween's 'Chameleon' didn't fit with the rest of their catalog, but it's a cool album when you know the story behind it. On all their other records they have a lot of shared songwriting credits. On Chameleon, they wanted to do something similar to the 4 KISS 'solo' albums, but condensed into a single release. The result is essentially 3 solo EP's, one each from songwriters Kiske (vocals), Weikath (guitar) and Grapow (guitar). They each wrote 4 tracks without any collaboration with the rest of the band, then got together to record each other's tracks for the album. They had just gone through a career-derailing lawsuit with their record label, problems with their management, and band turmoil over musical direction (singer) and one member's deteriorating mental health and related substance abuse problems (drummer). They knew the band was on the verge of a total break up or at least a major overhaul, so I think Chameleon was sort of their parting shot to the record company they owed one last album to, and a way of promoting their individual musical ideas to the public for any post-Helloween projects that may have followed. The 2 songs that sound the most like previous Helloween releases ('First Time' and 'Giants') were written by the band's founder Michael Weikath, so it wasn't surprising that he ended up keeping the band together with a new singer and drummer and returning to their much heavier power metal roots for the next release. 'First Time' is killer, and would fit in perfectly with their set list today. Kiske's 4 tracks resemble much of his post-Helloween output before going heavy again with Unisonic, and Grapow's were all over the map musically, but he stayed on with Helloween for several more albums as they returned to their roots, before eventually starting the excellent band Masterplan.

[@mooseheadjack1]

I think Chameleon gets a bad rep because it is such a huge departure from the Keepers era, and even a step away from Pink Bubbles, but if you listened to it without having heard anything before, it's solid. I think In the Night, I Believe and Longing are three hidden gems in the Helloween catalog that often get overlooked. The only song I don't especially care for is Crazy Cat, but even that isn't bad.

[@mymemeplex]

Good comment. I like Kiske’s subsequent work, and I do like Chameleon as well. Not their best album , and I get the criticism of many fans of their earlier work, Utd it is what it is, and I like it.

The only problem on Chameleon is, that it's played by a band called Helloween. Listen to this album and try to forget, that it's the same band who created Keeper of the seven keys (that step is not that huge) or Ride the sky (that one is a bit bigger). I was a big fan of Helloween (since the days of their first EP), and my first reaction for Chameleon was a big: "What - t.. f.... - Is THAT?!" But after some listening I realized, that THAT is an absolute masterpiece full of great music. No Power Metal, not even Metal. But very atmospheric, very melodic and still pretty powerful Rock.

[@DemonDethchase]

@@nolifetilmetal1 I know, but it feels more so on the X-Factor, what with a fair few songs pushing the 6-7 mark. Plus you had The Unbeliever going beyond 8 minutes at the end there, to go along with the 11 minute plus Sign of The Cross. And it was their longest album at an hour eleven minutes until A Matter of Life and Death which was just a minute longer, excluding ofcourse the most recent double album effort of The Book of Souls, as ofcourse it would be the longest album. Plus it was a similar story with the other Blaze album Virtual XI, though no way in hell did Angel and the Gambler need to be just shy of 10 minutes! Its a good song in its radio/music video form at 4 minutes, but they were just ripping the arse out of it at about 10! No idea what Harris was thinking with that one. The Clansman, Lightning Strikes Twice and The Educated Fool are some stand out tracks on that album. I know opinions are a thing and all that, but it really sucks that neither X factor, or Virtual XI, get the love they deserve because its not Bruce. I'll stop babbling now, but one last thing!

Personally I have no problem with bands choosing to stay close to the sound that works for them their whole careers like the Peppers or switching things up. I thought Elements of Anger from Sadus was amazing too. If I don't an album then I don't like it. Big deal. The vitriol some fans spew out towards musicians is unfortunate, whatever their motivations. I had the same problem with Metallica before I finally let it go. Nothing lasts forever.

Still first class live though.

On that Helloween album, there were 2 reasons for the change of style on this & Pink Bubbles Go Ape. 1 was the chase for commercial success following "I Want Out!"; 2. Michael Kiske grew disillusioned with Metal, turned more faithful, and tried to clean up Helloween's overall sound.

Sound Of White Noise was my first Anthrax album and one of my beginner mistakes, I bought it and I listened quite a lot and I said "Ok, I threw away my money, I don't like this band at all, it's too modern and alternative", but I tried again with Stomp 442, another disappointment so I put aside Anthrax. Luckily a friend taped me Fistful Of Metal and Among The Living and I fell in love with Anthrax. Rock The Nations and Destiny are the only albums that I avoid (and despise) by Saxon but Rock The Nations has a great cover! I still remember the first time that I listened to Chameleon it was like drinkin' spoiled milk... I don't know where to start with Renewal by Kreator, it was the beginnin' of a set of albums that I'd like to forget... it's the same for Megadeth and Risk is the worst in the dark age that begun with Countdown To Extinction (that compared to what arrived after it... it seems like a masterpiece). 1992 was full of disappointments. I just avoid the rest of the albums, there's no need to hate... but I think that the two Black Sabbath albums are quite enjoyable, they're not evil like the first ones but I like them!

Never Say Die! is one of my favourite albums from the original band. There's a dark, jazzy vibe throughout ("Air Dance" and "Junior's Eyes" especially). It sounds like no other Sabbath album, but it still sounds like... Black Sabbath.

[@muddfoot69]

Sounds of white noise is one of my favorite Anthrax albums

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Well we have that in common. Love it as well.

[@haliaeetus8221]

The subgenre of Helloween is hero metal. Listening to it, who doesn't feel like a sailor who's just crossed seven stormy seas or like standing on top of Mt.Everest?

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Yowzers haha. I love that description!

[@ScubaDiverPicker]

You considering doing a Top Hard Rock albums? For me it would be: 1. Appetite for Destruction -GNR 2. Back in Black - AC/DC 3. Paranoid - Black Sabbath 4. Led Zeppelin lV - Led Zeppelin 5. Pyromania - Def Leppard

I remember get the X Factor in 1995, I got huges expectations for the new Maiden's line up, but Blaze Bayley's voice dissapointed me incredibly. And when the tour started I had the oportunity to see them live... was even worse. But at the same time I loved the album sound. I've never said the album was crap 'cause I was a loyal fan, but after this album I never bought a Maiden album again. I still consider X-Factor has a great craft, engineeniring, and it's a magnificent production, but was the end of an entire era.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

It's my favorite album by them.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Victor Luksic It was definitely the beginning of a new era in Maiden. I don’t think they’ve ever touched in the greatness of their 80s catalog since.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Jayson Raphael Murdock I think you are only the second person I have ever run across who holds it in that high esteem. Nothing wrong with that. Enjoy!

[@mleon2112]

@@nolifetilmetal1 I can assure you we are a lot more, I know a lot of people who like it. In my case, my first introduction to Maiden was The X Factor and I loved the darkness in it (and that's why I have never liked songs like Run To The Hills, which I find kinda stupid). After having listened to them for 20 years, I think Somewhere In Time is their best album, but The X Factor is my all time favorite.

[@CinKaiDRocks]

Jugulator absolutely blew me away! It is SO heavy and mixing that with Classic heavy metal screaming was just so awesome to me. I had only heard a couple of the Classic priest songs at that point so I did not have that in my mind when I heard this. I'd actually really wish that there was a band out there with the Jugulator mix of HEAVY groove and Classic metal. PS: I can see that like myself you are a worshipper in the temple of Iron. Do you have any Work out video's or channels? Hail from Denmark! Tommy

[@harmlessrebel868]

This one is a mixed bag for me, so I love, some not so much. I've never quite gotten the dislike for the Kreator album, and the ones that followed, I loved them all. Risk for Megadeth was a tough one for me. Other than Breadline I didn't really like anything on that album, and what's crazy is that it was the classic lineup. I've loved Cryptic Writing from the day it was released. I remember people complaining at the time, but it was still in heavy rotation had it's fans. Not really a fna of the Helloween. Gave it spin about a year ago...meh. Another fun video!!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Harmless Rebel Sounds like we 100% agree but I also like Crush Em from Risk.

[@joshalan5125]

Good list; I agree, Jugulator is a killer album! Another Kreator album that I think a lot of thrash fans seem to not like is Outcast. I personally love that album as its my personal favorite by them. Side note: (Regarding the Anthrax White Noise comment) alright, I have GOT to ask, what is it specifically that you hate about grunge so much? I am not trying to start an argument or change your opinion; I'm just super curious and wanted to hear your take on it. Anyway, take care and God bless.

[@m00k61]

I'm from Philly myself and loved Sound of White Noise. Some heavy heavy riffs on there.

[@antichristian74]

al jourgensen did some amazing remixes for sound of white noise... i think some of his and anthrax's best work

[@walterwhite4366]

Crush 'em! Yeah! Best song on Risk! I think Cryptic Writings is great as well!

[@bingboompow8861]

I love being a metal head hahahha , GREAT video .

[@jessebrennan7130]

First off, love these videos! I have discovered great stuff I never heard of.. but these top 10 love to hates were familiar territory- especially the bands. Always loved Youthanasia. Totally agree Turbo is the worst JP and Jugulator is a lot better than ppl give it credit for. Chameleon, X factor, and fight for the rock- weak. Some of the others I’m gonna have to listen to. As for the Sabbath, Ozzy said of those 2 lps, ‘we forgot how to do it’. They are good, not great.

[@TheTVisions]

Jugulator's front cover though is terrible, probably their worst I'm sure fans could've made a better artwork.

[@Brandonmtlhd]

Sound of White Noise is for sure the best Anthrax album with John Bush. Sure, it's not as good as the classic era but it's got quite a few tracks that are worth checking out.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I have been a huge massive fan of Iron Maiden since the mid 80's when I was barely 10 years old. I was 16 years old when The X Factor came out , and it took me about a year to to really get into it. I love it way more than their previous album Fear Of The Dark. I was not shocked at all when Bruce Dickinson announced that he was leaving Iron Maiden after Fear Of The Dark came out. I only like four songs on it. I love every song on The X Factor. At the time it was so fresh. I even love Virtual 11 , but Brave New World is a phenomenal album with the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith.

[@sudisarkaya7501]

Rock The Nations is the very first Saxon record I've heard. I had gone to a 1 month English language practice course in England with students from my high school. I remember raiding the metal section of a music store and getting all the Maiden albums along with Motörhead's Iron Fist and Saxon's Rock The Nations, on tape :)). I agree that this is not one of the albums that made Saxon the legend that they are. However it is the album that introduced the band to me and it is a very solid album. I still think the title song, Battle Cry, We Came Here To Rock and Northern Lady are awesome songs.

[@vargsburzum]

Cryptic Writings? She Wolf- That riff melts mountains.

[@damienlejeune97]

Yeeeessssss... BUT... can't compare it with "Peace sells", "Rust in peace", "Countdown", "Youthanasia"...All Masterpieces...

Many bands have a “ dud “ in their catalogue. Sometimes such a dud - their label drops them. Must be stressful to be under that type of pressure.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

True. I don't think most of these were 'duds' though. Some of them sold like gangbusters. (Maiden, Mort, etc.)

[@relentlessflashbackin]

I agree, there's a lot of pressure so duds can happen, but as far as I am concerned the problem is another one: when a band wants to water down or change its style (often to chase the flavor of the month with embarassing results). It's obvious that artists should be free of create what they want but they should never forget their loyal fans, they should never take them for granted and they should never disrespect them. So how do you satisfy these two istances? It's a piece of cake, just use another freakin' name for God sake! Do you wanna an example? How much hate there's about the self-titled album from 1994 by Mötley Crüe? Do you can find the same amount of grudge for Diet For A New America by 58 (a Nikki Sixx side project)? Absolutely not because many MC fans will say "It's not my cup of tea, I prefer what he wrote for Crüe". Nobody wants to open a can of spicy chili to find sweet strawberries! I want to buy an album just readin' the name on the cover... oh it's a Megadeth album, I'm sure that I will not find a ballad sung in French! I bought the entire White Lion discography just after one song on MTV and I did the same for Obituary, no bad surprizes there, that's how they were sayin' a big thank you to their loyal fans.

I love the Youthanasia album. I bought the special edition with the Hidden Treasures bonus disc, which had a voucher to meet the band after a show, so also have an autographed programme from the tour as I saw them a week later.
