What did everyone think of In War and Pieces and Black Masses?
Ill probably give it a listen anyway, but the new DT album is going to be worse than the last 2 if Petrucci writes all the songs. Nobody except DT knows who the drummer is, and I think thats a huge part of what kind of songwriting range they will have. What i really want, though, is a Myung written song again. He always seems to produce quality songs even though hes only written a few. I don't know if they have any directions to turn to.I'm really hoping that Dream Theater will move away from the increasingly generic metal sound now that Portnoy left the band. If they play their cards correctly, then everyone in the band will contribute. And if they don't, then the next album will be completely penned by Petrucci and very little will have changed.
In the first edition of "albums I'm excited as fuck for in 2011", Necros Christos has a full length coming out this year. Triune Impurity Rites, their last album, would probably make my top 5 metal albums of all time. Yes, it's that good. It's basically the perfect mix of death/black/doom metal and the whole thing is just amazing. Forgot what the new album is supposed to be called (or even if it has a name yet), but watch out for it.
And, of course, if you haven't heard Triune Impurity Rites, go listen to that immediately.

gonna be badass
Well judging by the typically trite "blasphemous metal!111" title it sure will pretend to be.

It was constructive. Optimism and happiness over metal is fine, but going out of one's way to declare how BADASS something sounds when it actually sounds like most metal and has a poser fake badass name is silly.
So I've always liked Pantera but haven't really gotten into them that much. I found the Far Beyond Driven album and was blown away.

I know Avenged Sevenfold gets alot of shit, about how they're not metal (which I agree with, at least for the newer albums), but Waking The Fallen is my favorite album of all time, and Second Heartbeat, off that album, is my favorite song of all time.
Last but not least I recently found out about Parkway Drive from a friend and they're great.
