I also don't really mind raw production. It might take a little bit to get used to it, but it eventually does, and after that I never really wish for the music to sound any different.

I'm thinking about stuff like the Timeghoul demos. I know some people can't get into the music because it has a rough and raw production (they are demos afterall), but I personnally wouldn't want them to sound different, and I wouldn't want the band to rerecord them today with a "proper" studio production. It would probably lose a part of it's unicity, a part of it's charm if it was redone.

This is also why I despise remasters in general. Even if the audio quality is objectively improved in terms of clarity and to give a wider range for the bass and trebble to really come out better, it also tends to change the overall feeling of the album, and I don't like this. I tend to prefer the original album with it's flaws and qualities over pretty much every kind of remaster (rerecordings are even worse, IMHO).

I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion, but I think remasters, generally speaking, don't improve the music in terms of experience and enjoyment. Rerecordings are out of the question entirely for me. Can't stand them.

Basically every single Immolation album sits in the 75-85% range for me (with the exception of CTAWB which I think is a complete knockout). They are very consistent and consistently quite good, but it should be easy to see why people can get worn out on them if they aren't explicitly one of their favorites. Same as Cannibal/Krisiun/etc. They're a great band and I like them quite a bit, and I even think it's more impressive in the abstract to be consistently and reliably above average for decades as opposed to being phenomenal for a spell before falling off. But man, cards on the table, I'm taking Suffocation's 90s run over Immolation's entire career every time.

Lol

After Shadows they have released only one of best al album of modern times

MAJESTY AND DECAY

I bought one Immolation album, Close to a World Below, and found it nearly unlistenable. Having seen them live a few times with other bands it didn't sound like a lot of their stuff is more my thing. They are the opposite of Bolt Thrower for me, I can't find anything to lock into when I listen to them.

Dawn of Possession,Here in After,Failures for Gods,Close,Unholy Cult

Only Death can match that run

With my respect to Suffocation

But I enjoy both so no have problem

Cradle of Filth has always been better than Dimmu Borgir. [...] Dani Filth is a much more memorable and dynamic vocalist. Go on, send the pitchforks...

Opinion: "Gangland" by Iron Maiden is a good song and doesn't deserve the hate it gets. For the life of me I don't get why it's so hated.

"Gangland" is fun but it's just that most of the rest of the album is so much better. But it's a solid tune by itself.

I’m one of the odd Immolation fans who only likes their first three albums. Close To A World Below was the drop off point for me, and my personal favorite is Here In After. That album crushes everything else in their catalog.

I wish I could find more quality DM with the raspy vocals like on Dawn of Possession and Altars of Madness

Here in After's pretty fucking good but it's the Peace Sells of their discography... where Close to a World Below (and Rust in Peace) have all the good shit I end up really digging. My cutoff point is Unholy Cult - holy shit, Hernandez was a goddamn beast behind the kit!

I'll take Peace Sells... over Rust. It's meaner.

I’ll take So Far over both

Peace>Rust>So Far>Killing

there's a lot of competition, but Mary Jane is the best Megadeth song. Definitely more unusual and atmospheric for them, but it gives me chills every time.

I'll quit beating around the bush and just fuckin' say it: Megadeth was the weakest of the Big Four in the 80s and it's not even fucking close. Of course that would be different if Rust in Peace had dropped the year earlier since that one happens to be one of the best in metal history (I still rank it under Reign in Blood but they're damn close and both in the 99.999th percentile of all metal ever) but even if you took out the best albums from the other three and reduced it to their three least good, they'd still wipe the floor with them. Peace Sells is great, but KIMB is kinda endearing in how insane it is but has much less staying power than the rest of the groups' oeuvre and SFSGSW is wildly uneven and even the good songs on it feel like they're good in spite of themselves. I would and have and will continue to choose State of Euphoria over SFSGSW every single time.

Megadeth pulled themselves together and delivered one of the GOATs with RIP and ever since then they've been the most consistent band of the bunch but they had a rough start.
