Gonna have to give it to Opeth -


    * Orchid (1995) 8/10
    * Morningrise (1996) 9/10
    * My Arms, Your Hearse (1998) 9/10
    * Still Life (1999) 10/10
    * Blackwater Park (2001) 10/10
    * Deliverance (2002) 9/10
    * Damnation (2003) 9/10
    * Ghost Reveries (2005) 9/10
    * Watershed (2008) 9/10


I dare someone to give me a more epic/more consistant metal discography than that.

No other bands can do it like Opeth.

DT or Opeth is my answer. Amorphis and Sonata Arctica have been very good too.

I know who can take Darkes7's place and create the Sinister Six of Failure now!

Listening to a TWLSF song now, actually, but not seeing anything really mindblowing, though it isn't bad.  Singer sounds kind of nasally though, like a worse Daniel Gildenlol.

You are a bad person.

But seriously, that's the charm of Mike Scalzi. Its their whole style that I love. They don't really take themselves seriously and have an awesome time playing heavy metal. Maybe I'm just a Scalzi fanboy but he's one of my favorite singers of all time.

Part of the reason I love Slough Feg. I'm not really big on lyrics, but more often than not, SF's tend to be rather humorous. Plus they did a cover of a Horslips song, which is extra awesome!

I'd also like to mention in the songs I heard that I heard none of the bands you mentioned in describing them 7th Son.  And you fail more because of your opinions of those other bands than your love of TWLSF.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Not as popular as the other bands mentioned in this thread, but they don't have a single bad album.

Never f##king heard of them..  but I just checked a couple of youtube clips, albeit through my phone, but this will need more investigating..thanks for the recommendation.

Bruce Dickinson

In my opinion, Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding are the best two metal albums to come out in the last two decades and Tyrrany of Souls isn't too shabby itself.

I know that the topic is "metal band" but, he had the same line-up on these two albums and their output was simply amazing. Quality above quantity.

I agree that CW is, Accident has a little too much filler for my liking.  Don't forget that every Bruce album pre-Tribe of Gypsies were pretty average.  From my perspective anyway.  Accident - CW - TOS is a brilliant 3 album run.

Brave Connor Mac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owvazvyd6QM

Aw yeah, getting into SF's folky side here^


Sea Wolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgPNU8uH4pA

Dearg Doom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n3oZyxjDoo&feature=related


^Definitely my favorite SF song. Just holy crap so goddamn catchy.

Ape Uprising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwPfBm84fMU

^ SF doesn't do a lot of "epic" type of songs, but this is a moment where they take the chance to do one, and I personally love it. But I suppose "Your mileage may vary" would apply here.

I think that there's some good stuff on Balls to Picasso(laughing in the hiding bush, tears of the dragon) but, the over all production of the album makes it suffer. It could be argued that it's also a ToG album also, though. And the first three tracks on Skunkworks are really great songs but, that album gets a lot of slack because it's so much different.

The first solo album......meh....not very good at all.

I really like the Halford albums as well. In my opinion, Roy Z makes any project that he's a part of that much better by his presence alone lol...

Opeth, although I don't really like Metal that much anymore. I can hear why I was drooling over it years ago, but that's it. So I can't really give a very valid opinion I guess. But Opeth (along with some others) are definately stayers.
