MoRT by Blut aus Nord is really a great album.

Is that an unpopular opinion among fans?

I based its lack of popularity off of it being rated the second lowest album by them on metal-archives at about 67% average rating iirc. Actually looking at the reviews it seems like a love it or hate it album with only one or two middling reviews, so about half seem to love it, so maybe I'm wrong in saying the opinion is unpopular, because it's only brought down so low because a handful of people gave it below 30% scores.

Do you figure it's mostly black metal traditionalists who dislike that record?

I read some of the negative reviews and they seemed more balanced than you would expect traditionalists to be. They tended to show appreciation for TWWTG, but found MoRT a little too aimless or "one-dimensional." I would disagree on both of those claims, but I can see how others could find MoRT that way. I would just agree to disagree with them.

Tuonela by Amorphis is better than Tales from the Thousand Lakes, and Elegy.

The primary reason to have Load by Metallica on your PCs harddrive is to get ****s and giggles out of speeding up the tracks into chipmunk songs in Audacity.

The new A Perfect Circle album is kinda ****ty and a really lame thing to present after a staggering 14 year gap since the last album.

unrelated but that reunion is a **** show with a public feud between the ex bassist and Corgan brewing up immediately text messages and everything were shared

He's listed as being in the lineup, but I think it's really just been Howerdell that's written stuff on his own, then sent it to Maynard.

One of the songs was originally written by Howerdell in collaboration with Chester Bennington, intended - but not used for - the last Linkin Park album before Bennington died. Then Howerdell and Maynard finished the song for the new APC album.

Basically, the album sounded worrying enough on paper. Then I heard the result and... blah. I'm not even a fan, but Mer De Noms was a solid record.
