I want to see how bad that Nazareth cover is

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

I believe that this is the first Six Feet Under album released since ScreamingSteelUS received a special birthday message from Chris Barnes, so I'm excited to see whether this new album gets an uncharacteristically positive review

Quite a positive change from the last album, this is not bad at all...
And I don't understand the rating of one, two or three. Such an assessment is biased and this album certainly does not deserve it!

I have an impression, that people rate it low, because of the band's name. "It is SFU, it has to be shit". Well, it hasn't. Barnes could growl better, but overall album is very enjoyable.

ChatGPT could write better lyrics that sound less like AI generated ones. Six Feet Under is the Hercules of death metal.

Wait, what? So Barnes contacted ScreamingSteelUS?

Disappointing, after the last album we all know Six Feet Under is capable of much worse than this. At least Barnes's inability/refusal to put any variation into his voice managed to make the otherwise surprisingly promising Nazareth cover completely unlistenable.

Well, it's not as bad as Decomposed. Doesn't mean it's any good though, personally I found this thing just boring and forgettable. Maybe one could enjoy this kind of stuff as a lo-fi metal or something, like it's not insultingly bad or anything.

The lore for that is deep and confidential.

Yep, this isn't good, but I've heard worse this year tbh. Music-wise it's just pretty basic bog-standard death metal, meaning nothing bad, but nothing special either, and I've never really been a fan of Barnes' vocal style so that doesn't help matters.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

Finally not anymore! 😃

Finally an album that may give new HerNoClues a run for money?!

I know I'm in the minority but been having tons of fun with this record upon first 5 spins.

Anyone rating this higher than a 5 ( and then I'm being nice) should seriously get their ears checked. You have Rust In Peace as your profile picture. Claiming that this is almost as good as that album is just ridiculous.

To each their own really, it's music that is the beauty of it. All subjective babyy. People just love to jump on the hate bandwagon on this band. No reason to act like an elitist mate.

Of course the music we like is subjective and highly personal. But there's a reason why a majority think they suck and that's because it's poor musicianship with cringey lyrics. The album score says it all. It has nothing to do with being an elitist of some sort. So if you enjoy this, good for you. Have fun.

Dear Nejde,

Relax! You don't have to revert to everyone who goes against your listening experience. As much as I despise SFU, I very much welcome to see the opposing reactions as well.

Fellas using "music is subjective" always listen to the worst possible music

Normally I rate the stuff I love personally. I don't have time to listen to bands I dislike or know isn't my taste.

@Radup it's just your opinion mate. I don't judge others for liking stuff I can't vibe with.

Not sure why thewall is getting grief for liking SFU - they outright said they know they're in a minority in liking this album. From the snippets I've heard of the album, I suspect I wouldn't have a positive opinion of it if I listened to the whole thing, but looking past the offputting vocals, the instrumentations on the tracks I tried from it weren't horrific; if someone was completely infatuated with death metal, I could understand them getting some enjoyment out of the album (I've generally not bothered with trying this band's music due to their reputation, but the latest HBIH weekly roundup gave the album's genre as 'actually semi-decent death metal', so I'm guessing this might be an above-average effort by SFU's standards)

I don't get it either & thanks for having my back musclassia. SFU is not for everyone, I consider it a guilty pleasure. Always loved old school death metal in general so this kind of stuff is right up my alley.

I think Chris Barnes just riles people up to no other 🤣

Nothing illegal about liking SFU, just morally dubious.
