Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Depending on which albums you listened, Take me Back to Eden and Even in Arcadia have a lot more metal to them than their first two. I think Vore and Infinite Baths have to be two of their hardest off the top of my head. They also often times have heavy breakdowns in their songs taking something more mellow to being more metal.
I don't know where I'd truly classify them. You have a song like Vore and then DYWTYLM on the same album and they are very different. I think overall if I was going in not knowing them, I'd have gone with some sub genre of hard rock. Really I'm not a purist or anything like that and couldn't tell you one sub genre from the next, so to me it's rock music, which also encompasses metal.
But I would recommend listening to their latest two albums if you listened to This Place Will Become Your Tomb and Sundowning. I personally think they're more enjoyable because they're a bit harder and that's part of why they've exploded over the last few years.
The two I listened to were Sundowning and Even in Arcadia.
