Halford - Resurrection.....

Very solid album, hard riffs, good singing, good lyrical content.

Re: Best Metal CD of the New Millenium?

Cult of Luna - The Beyond, this is the best "heavy" record that has come out since the beginning of 2000 for me.

The best "heavy metal" record would have to be between these 3:

Halford - Crucible
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Slayer - God Hates Us All

Re: Best Metal CD of the New Millenium?

Toss up between:

Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
Children of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">all right, i know everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but, are you fucking kidding me? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] i haven't even listened to that album since i first bought it. i was not impressed at all w/ this album. maiden needs to get rid of janick gers and go back to good old murray/smith maiden! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] the stuff that janick helps right is total crap to me. but, like i said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

90% of janick gers' solos absolutely suck. However, knocking his songwriting skills is misguided, when compared to his fellow band members. Gers is responsible for the most old school maiden song in 13 years, Montsegur, and has had a hand in most of the strongest Maiden tracks on the last 2 records.

To me, the most boring and least inspired songwriter in today's Maiden is undoubtedly Steve Harris. The only song on DoD written exclusively by Harris is the most cliched and boring one on the record, namely No More Lies. He's been writing the same old 8-minute epic with the obligatory 3 minute clean-arpeggiated-power-chord-intro since Fear Of The Dark. As far as I'm concerned Fear Of The Dark is the last maiden classic penned by Harris.

Sorry guy, but Montsegur, Dance Of Death and Paschendale are as good as anything Maiden has done since Seventh Son. Bruce's vocal parts on Dance Of Death are absolutely incredible. The only two songs I skip on DoD are No More Lies (aka. Blood Brothers part 2, The Clansman part 3, entire X Factor part 4, Afraid To Shoot Strangers Part 5, No Prayer For The Dying part 6) and The Journeyman. I thought 50% of Brave New World was weak, Virtual XI was unlistenable, and X-Factor mediocre.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">you're right, but you're only comparing what he's recently written. the stuff he has written recently does suck monkey balls, but everything before FOtD is classic maiden. and steve wrote the majority of the songs. and that's a lot of songs. and i will admit, now, that janick is a good writer, but i still think it would be better to just let him go and have murray and smith be the main guys again, instead of having janick take adrian's solos and butchering them. but, that's just my opinion.

All Out War - For Those Who Were Crucified

Not a lot of solos or stunning guitar work but it's heavy as all get out.
