    As an Immortal fan going back to "At The Heart Of Winter", I can honestly say there's tracks on "War Against All" that really hit and there's tracks that are really mid. If home-boy waited another year and refined and honed the material on that LP, it could have been better than "Northern Chaos Gods". But he didn't so we got a "middle of the road" Immortal LP. I don't think it's bad but it certainly isn't great. Lamp Of Murmuur made a better Immortal LP this year, than Immortal did.

      I tend to agree with you. It has moments but didn’t quite hit the mark overall. I also gave the lamp of murmuur album a shot and while I loved the at the heart of winter nostalgia the vocals didn’t match the greatness of the music. Too many albums this year had music I really liked but vocals that turned me off either for production reasons or just mediocre delivery.

    I’m glad I’ve only heard one of these lol- it was the Kim Dracula album, and yeah you nailed it. I respect the idea of blending a bunch of disparate, trendy styles together in a very chaotic way, but there was just no nuance or subtly with how Kim went about it. It’s horrid. Every song sounds like a collage of 5 tracks from different artists, and all of them are bad. There are a few nice breakdowns here and there, but there’s way too much unlistenable nonsense for me to ever want to revisit it. It really is a “LOL so random” version of Falling In Reverse

    I personally enjoyed A Gradual Decline of Morale. I do get why people didn't like it, but i thought it was fun. I saw Kim live with A7X and FIR recently, and thats how i got exposed to it. I personally loved it, but as they say, to each their own.
    EDIT: Forgot to add, this was a great video. Really fuckin funny, good shit here.

  • @freemonwicher3840

    Funny thing about your review of kim dracula, pretty much word for word that review is how I would describe the new Avenged Sevenfold. Every song on that album was like 20 different songs all chopped up and stitched together into a Frankenstein, Cronenberg monstrosity where you can't even compare any of the songs to any of the other songs on the album let alone to the rest of their discography. Like it had some thrash followed by 70s prog keyboards, then some Marilyn Manson vibes, next to some piano ballads with Mike Patton vocals then jumps into straight pantera worship all in one song. It was like they wanted to make a crazy genre bending track on the album that was supposed to stand out like Bohemian Rhapsody but instead they made every song like that; so the whole album is like the audio equivalent of someone with severe ADHD being given a pile of cocaine and recording every single idea but being too hyper to arrange the songs in a coherent way.

    Dungeon Wolf is going to be super popular for its satirical nature. You're right it's bad, but I'm still going to play this for all my family when being required to all be together for Xmas. Maybe next year we won't have to travel! Or if so, then I'm going to learn tuba and practice dominant to tonic pattern on repeat at 3 am... every morning!

    I didn’t listen to a lot of bad albums this year, but I did listen to a few mid albums, mainly the new Metallica, immortal and Evile records. In fact, that new Evile record has one of the weirdest track orders I’ve ever heard on an album this year. Why put three straight up thrash metal songs in the middle of your Black album rip off record? That makes no sense.

    2-Make them beg for Death by Dying Fetus
    1-Chaos Horrific by Cannibal Corpse
    Definitely 2023 was one of the years of metal, with some really good releases on extreme metal like Make them beg for Death and Chaos Horrific, but in therms of mainstream or popular metal, it was a quite meh year, with the only 2 interesting mainstream metal albums of this year really being The Sick the Dying and the Dead and 72 Seasons, with a very decent and surprising return for metallica after 6-7 years of album hiatus.

    Having heard none of these albums (and probably won't), my only disappointment of 2023 is Spine from Myrkur. Amalie Bruun can write better songs than that. This is the same problem that I've had with her first record: the lack of cohesion. But also, I feel like the pop influences took the charm of her music out and instead replaced it with predictable, lackluster songwriting. It's a shame, but I still like her music.

    Only one I dont agree with here was the Immortal album, I actually thought it was decent. It is distinctly mid-tier compared to their other albums, but I do think there are some good songs on there. The rest of these albums are indeed absolutely god awful. I think Kim Dracula wins the award for the worst album of the year for me, that album was so unbelievably awful it actually made me angry. Steel Panther was just sad, I love the first 2 albums but it's just gotten progressively worse for about 10 years now and this latest one was the lowest point so far.
    I'll also throw in Take Me Back to Eden from Sleep Token, and Six from Extreme. I always give Sleep Token a chance to see if they finally do something I like, and I end up listening to an hour's worth of pretentious garbage instead. And that Extreme album is probably the most boring album I've heard this year. Hardly anything that I love about Extreme on it, just an album full of very mediocre, boomer-ish hard rock with the occasional killer solo from Nuno. If I listened to it completely blind I would've never guessed that it was an Extreme album

    Also calling them sexist is ridiculous. I believe metal and rock music died when they began to mellow out and not sing about all the girls and money they got. People started to the view the genre as boring and then when rap started doing that, that’s why it got super popular.

    This has honestly been a pretty big year for shit music, even though we got a lot of great stuff as well. I think the bad bands out there took note of Psycho Synner's absence and decided they needed to step up their game.
    Just my 2 cents on these:
    1. Agreed, and I hate pretty much everything this band does.
    2. Eh, I thought it was mid/disappointing especially after Northern Chaos Gods which was way better than it had any right to be.
    3. Didn't listen, and probably for the better.
    4. Didn't listen, I do like tech death though so it could be interesting.
    5. Tbh I don't really give a shit about anything he does.
    6. This is easily my #1. I would rather take an electric screwdriver to my eardrums than ever hear another second of this crime against music again. Psycho Synner/5 for me.
    7-8. You can't pay me to listen to a Christmas album of any kind, much less 2 of them.
    9. Didn't listen but if it's that bad I probably have no reason to.
    10. Agreed, they're pure butt rock at this point.
    I also thought Sleep Token and Godsmack were pretty shit, though the latter at least is not surprising.

    I feel you don't truly *get* Steel Panther making this assessment. That's the entire point. The songs are supposed to be over-the-top stupid. It's like Brojob, only with good music. Brojob relies on one simple schtick "Oh you don't like our lyrics? You must be a raging homophobe". Yeah, no, your music is just terrible. Your triggering would be part of that. If they made a song about it, it would be funny. Steel Panther really don't give a shit and that's really what rock is about, is not giving a shit.
    Otep has always been terrible. I mean God-tier double-barrel, full-blown awful. Her schtick worked in the early 2000s because her persona of "I'm a brutal man-hating mean woman who stands up to pee" wasn't taken over by the woke left.
    Corey Taylor I think rides the coattails of his two bands to run this.
    Christmas music is terrible, but that's because there are so few Christmas carols to do at all. The only way to truly appreciate Christmas music is to listen to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That's it.
    I have a feeling that you truly hate Dungeon Wolf because of how they annoyed you with the GETSOME tag and posting on your page, but I'm listening to them right now and what I have to say is what the fuck is this?
    The rest of this list I avoided and for good reason.
