Same here, the first Liege Lord has it all to be an immortal classic. Balls out epic heavy metal the way it should be. Master Control has some nice songs but has already that goddamn modern approach, eliminating all testosteron they once had. Don't get me wrong; Master Control is a nice album but not 1% near the absolute marvellous first album. For instance: name me one section that is better then the middle part of "Warriors Farewell", impossible!!!!!doomedplanet wrote:this is an interesting comment since I think they peaked at their first album and by Master I lost interest.
Helm wrote: Something from the eighties... hm... well, the first Liege Lord is considered by many to be amazing, but I think they hit their stride by Master. It's not bad by any means though. A lot of US Power is overrated (at least here in greece )

My first impression was much the same Helm, but after a few plays it really fell into place for me and i can't stop playing it. Having said that i have "My Armageddon" from the new album too and it's crud, absolute toss. I really wasn't expecting much from Metallica to be honest, but that song really piqued my interest.Helm wrote:It's like somebody's highschool band trying to do a nwobhmesque medley. Prime Fate also requires actually brilliant riffs and solos and lots of them. Not just riffs and solos and lots of them.bigfootkit wrote:Brilliant, i laughed out loud.BlackStele wrote:Pantera = Broccoli

I just can't fuckin stand all of them...
On a slightly related note, i see there are a few here who can't get into Mercyful Fate, having heard the new Metallica song "The Day That Never Comes", you're probably gonna hate it too. Although it starts off like a ballad, the last four minutes sound like prime Fate! Harmony leads, time changes, spiralling riffage, it smacks of "Satan's Fall" to me.
I'm hoping the rest of their new material sounds like this, i know that's birds nest soup to some of you, but as they say, one mans meat is another mans poison.

I still enjoy Slaughter of the Soul, even after all those cacky metalcore copyists. Had my copy signed by all five of 'em back in 1996 & I cherish it. Still prefer the complexity of their earlier work tho'.
Here's a forum fave I don't like: Purgatory's Tied to the Trax. It's just really cringeable & cheddary. Nearly as bad as Lääz Rockit.

"Freedom's Rise" is an awesome album, but Master Control is THE ALBUM.
The vocals alone are such a huge improvement that I can barely even fairly compare the two...

Anthrax, for being the first major thrash band to contribute to thrash's downfall. Proto-groovy parts, lame attempts at comedy, and weak PC lyrics as early as 1987. Spreading the Disease is still good though.
Sodom has never done anything for me. They have some slight moments of enjoyability when at their most primitive and/or brutal (In the Sign of Evil, Obsessed by Cruelty, and Tapping the Vein) but the rest of their discography seems really unoriginal and monotonous.

I love all Liege Lord releases. However, i'll have to agree with Avenger. With Master Control they reached the TOP. A top-20 US metal album with stellar riffing and godly vocals by Comaeu. Freedom's rise is not overrated by any means as it features somer real monster songs and the same thing happens with Burn to my touch. Huge band.Avenger wrote:Master Control shortened is MASTERPIECE.The Sentinel wrote:Same here, the first Liege Lord has it all to be an immortal classic.

Good against Evil, Evil sure to win
