shittiest album on Metal Archives with the best reviews ?
I've seen this Carach Angren band (geniuses behind my sig gif) open up for more than one band now, and I became convinced that they must have a powerful djinn for a booking agent, but being ever parsimonious and skeptical, I decided to see what the Internet in General thought of these jokers. and they are not only not hated, but somehow they're appreciated/respected. to me, this sounds like reheated Cradle of Filth, but people act like it's actually worth a damn?
here's the album that inspired this question - it's got a 91% on MA with 17 reviews:
i thought maybe the reviews were written by russian troll-bots, but the accounts have plenty of other reviews between them, and only a few are consistently giving out glowing scores.
so I propose a challenge: what is the shittiest record with a 90% or better on MA? all entries are welcome, but ideally there should be >10 reviews, since that's around when popularity-based backlash seems to kick in.

The obvious answer would be the entire Beherit catalog.

Re: shittiest album on Metal Archives with the best reviews ?
I'm just saying the first time I felt like Metal wasn't really for me anymore was when I noticed a bunch of Americans on the interwebs splooging all over early Beherit because they thought it was some obscure gem that they could score 88 KVLT points a minute with when really they were just these completely incompetent morons that everyone laughed at back in the day because they famously showed up in the studio not knowing how to tune their guitars. I can't imagine anything post-DDtM only exists because of these chodes. But let's not relitigate that. It's just kinda something that proves something for me.

I couldn't think of a single thing to add to this thread, but reading all that made me think of Vlad Tepes immediately. Then I checked and they really don't have anything UNLISTENABLE with stellar reviews on MA.
The proper winner of this thread has to be some absolute dogshit recording of Danish retards screaming about nothing, but they have some imfamous kvlt reputation (murdered a bank teller for Himmler or something) which granted them scene credibility. I can't think of who, but that's gotta be the recipe.

This has a 95%, but I really don't hate it. Something neighboring this would be the perfect candidate, I think.

Perenially punching bag Rumpelstiltskin Grinder somewhat fits the bill here punching waaaay above their weight with those review scores:

I realize that is a cheap shot and will have to give this some actual though.

The fact that he's put out as much shit as he has since prison pretty much negates any greatness he had generated during the stabby burny years.Eight Bit Alien wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 5:48 pmPost-prison theres absolutely no argument, that shit is fucking retarded.

I assumed FFDP but they're apparently too false.

Re: shittiest album on Metal Archives with the best reviews ?
They were doing something new and you Euro snobs just can't handle it. I'd rather listen to DDtM than any of the limp wristed metal that dribbles out of Europe these days.spacehamster wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:26 am I'm just saying the first time I felt like Metal wasn't really for me anymore was when I noticed a bunch of Americans on the interwebs splooging all over early Beherit because they thought it was some obscure gem that they could score 88 KVLT points a minute with when really they were just these completely incompetent morons that everyone laughed at back in the day because they famously showed up in the studio not knowing how to tune their guitars.

But....everything post DDtM is totally not Beherit. Totally weak.
No sodomatic slaughter no beherit.
Goat Vulva is the greatest band to ever come out of Europe.
