I know, it's hard to like good music when all you like are vikings
lol moonsorrow is more talented than any band you have ever listened to
:-))
that just proves you like force fed garbage like you listed instead of you know, actual music and melodies
Lol hokay. Amon Amarth has a great melody. I at melody because it's the same formulaic riff used over and over
i knew you were gonna bring up Amon Amarth lol. I have never said that AA was groundbreaking. They have stuck with a formula that has worked for them and despite it all have a lot of diversity between the songs and albums. regardless of that AA is great music and are the best at what they do ( Viking themed melodeath )
They are damn good at what they do but they aren't diverse
you misunderstood that, they are diverse within their given formula which easily could have gotten old and stale. yet AA manage to keep it fresh and exciting
I still don't see how they're diverse in any way
you still misunderstood that i see, i'm sorry but i can't help fix retarded. that's on your end bro

"Seriously, it's almost like you listen to music on whims and don't really understand much about music theory and composition" I know music theory ok. Metal isn't complex in any sort so don't try that crap. From a theory standpoint Metal does terribly. This discussion has nothing to do with theory. LP changed their sound so they lost sales. They put out a very creative record last year and lost sales because it wasn't what everybody wanted
If you know music theory, then go back and relisten to their albums all in a row. The tempo, the subject matter, the feelings it provokes?? What basis do you have for making comments like this?
This is the situation you are putting me in- I feel you are trying to defend Harry Potter being in the top 10 most thought provoking books, and I am trying to tell you that it is unoriginal formula mass market drivel that was targeted to a specific demographic. And you are like no it is creative and thought provoking. Like wtf? I didnt even realize this was any real question that the books were engineered to a specific demographic....
I've said I like Linkin Park for what it is, but you want to argue that it is not mass market drivel not written for a specific demographic? It is! there isnt anything wrong with filling that market nitch.

LP was the shit in 8th grade, legit.
right! that is exactly the target demographic they were going for. They are very successful at that. they werent trying to make music they like, or music that thirty year olds would like.
Judys niece is into LP now but shes in 7th grade. its better than the hannah montana she was listening to. i'm working on her slowly but surley. she's had me burn her the alestorm albums so far lol.

My little brother is a redneck type, I got him into Alestorm and Amon Amarth, slowly working him into heavier stuff, but he keeps rejecting it.

It seems the retarded is on your end. Their style may be diverse but they absolutely do not diversify within it

" If you know theory, listen to any metal band and try telling me they're good theory wise. They're using the same chord progressions as LP

I got my bro into maiden and a little heavier stuff but he rejects a lot of it. I want to take him to mayhem and offered to pay for his ticket but he does one of those "sure" then decides not to

I disagree completely. although I don't think this band is all that great - lets talk Children of Bodom. Now I agree that most vocal led band is going to be limited on their chord progressions at times, however COB obviously borrows a lot of their sound from classical pieces. The solo's in most of their songs allow for chord movement, which is something completely lacking in anything from LP. COB is just the tip of the iceberg.
they lost sales cause the album sounded like complete shit regardless of how Creative it was
They lost sales because it wasn't HT
If you haven't noticed lately...they abandoned that sound a long time ago. You're acting as if every LP album besides Catalyst sounds like Hybrid Theory. And that is so false

i wanna hear your opinion on moonsorrow
I'm actually not a mr know-it-all
I haven't really spent enough time with either Moonsorrow or Amon Amarth to really have much of an opinion from a musical theory standpoint. I think the whole viking metal theme turns me off a little, even though I know Moonsorrow tries to distance themselves from that label. I first impressions of them was positive but that is about all I can really say.
looking at stuff through a musical theory standpoint is retarded to me. a songs has gotta have heart and soul for me to like it. johnny cash puts more heart in his three minute 4 chord songs than some of these metal bands 20 min long epics. you cant teach heart on paper just like you cant teach a good song on paper
