Whats ur age dood? just asking in case u have been listening to metal/rock for like 10 - 15 yrs. I have their 2006 album but never really it much.. cept Plastic Jesus, I hail this song now. Fcuk the system - sounds more like an aggressive rap, rather than metal. Will download the song list u have me and yes my opinion might change if the vocla of SOAD changes. Its like I say a vocalist, A Vocalist, until n unless it has a taste of COF or COB or Cannibal Corpse or Marduk etc... But I truly love SOAD minus the vocals... If it aint hard, it aint metal, must be progressive rock.
If am to hear and hear and go mad and insane with vocols it will b likes or
COF, COB, In flames, Opeth, Soully (Selected songs), Slipknot (Selected songs), Dimmu Borgir (Selected songs), Rammstein, Marduk etc.. irresistable..
Now the truth. I someone, either me or any metal fan starts comparing the present bands with classics or 80's and 90's I wud just laf. And never in my post you will find me actually COMPARING any two bands with drums bass instruments etc etc. They were gods who bought metal to world, gift is what I wud call it. Iron Maiden, unbelievable with vocals even at that time, instruments were godly. They truly were not hard enuf, but one single word "GODs" of metal. Most and almost and every band of now plays at 16 taps where as Iron Maiden if one of VERY few bands which actually played at 64 taps, and thats the greatness.
But I still love present bands u see
