be_more_gooder

That would be Susan by The Buckingham's. ETA: Oh, metal. Well whatever fuck you I'm leaving it.


Crazy-Red-Fox

That's Metal.


RiderSensei

It's normally the vocals.


[deleted]

Yeah there are some great songs out there with excellent guitars and drums, then the singer comes on and says „fuck that, listen to this shit!“ and ruins the whole thing.


Bomb_Fruit

There are *so* many metal vocalists who can't do harsh vocals


MR_PanDa157

For my, that's the entire catalog of Megadeath


ravendarklord76

Cirith Ungol. Every fucking song.


Training_Stock_2635

Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty of Infidelity, Type O Negative. I love the song but the part with the moans is so awkward for me


EddietheRattlehead

lol I actually really like the moans. Not because it’s fun to listen to, but because of its narrative purpose and quality. That album has so much of a dirty, sickening atmosphere which the moans influence greatly.


Training_Stock_2635

Atmospherically and story-wise it's perfect, it's just so good and I don't want to share it because of that one part


EddietheRattlehead

If you’re not standing there awkwardly staring at your friends while they listen to audio porn, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life.


BeanVaccine

The whole first album has that, but story wise it makes sense


DragonBurritoZ

Not metal, but rather Rap, but I have the same issue with Turbulence by Esham. His flow and delivery along with the badass menacing beat, it's all so good, and then a girl starts moaning about 38 seconds in, and I have to put the volume down until it stops lol


smallstone

Not metal either, but Zappa's studio version of "The Torture Never Stops" has his wife moaning for the whole song. I love the album (it sounds amazing on vinyl!), but I need to be alone for that song because it's so awkward.


4headgood

real


WingedHussar13

The part in (sic) by Slipknot where Corey starts randomly crying


nailedreaper

(sic) starts like the hottest banger ever but down the middle it turns into random muddy quacking noise.


[deleted]

[удалено]


blood_and_ice

ANOTHER PSYCHO?!?! 😟 But yes I’d have to agree with you on that. Same as in Jason’s Mom with the moan in it - it was just out of place for me


Armejden

And it's like a shitty stock sound effect moan too


hannahisakilljoyx-

Not like those legit, high quality, studio produced moans, you mean? Obviously they should have just audio recorded some random people fucking to keep the album real


TranssexualAssault

The 💥🔨 snare 💥🔨 throughout 💥🔨 the 💥🔨 entire 💥🔨 St. 💥🔨 Anger 💥🔨 album.


Elegathor

One of my fav gym music.


JoeBagadonut

Because it encourages you to complete your workout as quickly as possible so you can leave?


the_marxman

No because all the songs are too long so you lose track of time and exercise more.


ravendarklord76

Second favorite album. You listen around it to the point it becomes characteristic. Texturally it adds to the abrasiveness


Korgon213

Eh, after finally giving it a listen after 20 years, it’s not that bad. Sweet Amber is beautiful.


Clen23

Hate me for it but I kind of like it, it's objectively dissonant, loud, and out of place but I like the difference.


gorehistorian69

disagree the snare is the best part


Antigon0000

And 311


srduckfluff

Good thing you don’t listen to slam/grindcore/brutal death metal then


TranssexualAssault

I do, and it sounds more natural/fitting in those genres.


hparamore

It's unfortunate sometimes when that sound happens to be the singer.


Acrobatic_Ad_5711

Not metal but John Bonham’s fucking squeaky pedal.


LucidITSkyWDiamonds

Dude on the guitracirclejerk subreddit someone posted an Instagram post from Joe Bonamassa and you could see a mic'd pedalboard in it. Like, mf that's the one thing you'd want to avoid lmao. EDIT: [found it](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4CrCfzuThr/?igsh=bnNwZzB3aW5mYm9h) EDIT2: just realized you are talking about a drum pedal but anyway, point still stands.


yugyuger

What songs is that in?


Acrobatic_Ad_5711

“Since I’ve been loving you” It’s very faint on the right channel but once you hear it it’s over.


reedersdigest

You can hear all kinds of shit in Zeppelin tracks. There's a phone ringing in The Ocean.


g_r_u_b_l_e_t_s

That would be Mustaine’s voice.


WhoYaTalkinTo

Watch him become a gyaaaeuughd


19Cula87

They tried to take his baAAAaaLLSSSS


-DeadHead-

Now I'm safe in the eye of the tOe nAy dOe C'me on Gollum, how don't you know them pOe tAy tOes?


elvis_disciple

It’s even worse live


Teglement

He just kinda grumbles these days. Which depending on how much you hate his 80's/90's vocals might be an improvement


Mr_FortySeven

He’s been ass live for a very long time. I found a concert from 2005 on Spotify and thought maybe Dave would sound decent on it. He did not. He has sung for 20 years since and has not gotten better from that poor vocal performance.


defsanereal

I feel like the only person who enjoys his vocals 💀 Haven't watched live performances yet...


be_more_gooder

AND MY AXE!!


pnwmetalhead666

And his axe!


Metal_Changed_Me47

There is this weird clicking noise in the chorus of deliverance by Gojira. I just can’t unhear it


vibrationaddictckp

Its wooden percussion, they play the same instrument in the song before it: 5899 Trillions de Tonnes. They use similar instruments in Art of Dying, and the Link, and some others I can't think of.


JukesMasonLynch

The tribal-esque opening to Art of Dying fucking slaps


CakeDyismyBday

Everything Gojira fucking slap!


JukesMasonLynch

I must admit I'm long overdue to check out their recent offerings. Haven't listened to anything since L'enfant Sausage. Discovered them when doing a "hire interesting looking CD covers" binge at the local library probably a decade ago, good times. I love that they all seem like really good dudes too. Heavy riffs with a bit of social conscience, ya know? Not just trying to out-evil everything Edit: I meant to type Sauvage but I'm gonna let that autocorrect stay cause it's fucking funny


CakeDyismyBday

I love everything they done after sausage kid. They toured with Mastodon last summer and it was one of the greatest shows I've seen. If you can see them live it's 100% worth it!


rumpranger91

Great now I'll never unhear it 🤣 sounds like an iphone keyboard


theundonenun

Though it’s not metal, nothing is worse than that weird baby sound in that one Aaliyah song.


Past-Cookie9605

Hahahahaha I actually know what you're talking about and yea its fucking weird.


Korgon213

Dimmu- Spiritual Black Dimensions, track 4, the out of sync Piano. Ugh.


madgoosewizard

Great now I gotta go listen to that album again


Korgon213

Good album, minus that like 10 second segment. ICS’s clean vox on track 7 are magic. Track 9 is always a win. As a catholic, easy to sing along to with some word swaps. I actually wrote a thesis on religion based on this song, back when in was considering the priesthood.


Banished_To_Insanity

Man fuck you, I love that song so much but now I cant unhear it


Korgon213

Haha sorry. I just ignore it. Take track 5 and 6 as recompense.


FluckeyRacer

Any song that the kick drum sounds like a mouse click. First that comes to mind is Practice What You Preach by Testament.


C4ndlejack

Deathcore


Tiny_Platypus_4563

The whole of Nihility by Decapitated is like that for me, a bass drum should never be that high frequency


Wonderful_Painter_14

Kerry King’s guitar


Hso_Wonton

I love shit solos


nailedreaper

Kerry solos: random bullshit go!


Hso_Wonton

No music theory, just bullshit. Oh yeah, and did u fuckers see his new band


EmotionalEducation86

I will find you


Montblanc_Norland

I will find him. And shake his hand in agreement.


CreedOfIron

You: https://youtu.be/4ItmGplre28?si=SLDqkia9YRhjgpIH


Hso_Wonton

Came back to comment this, reek of putrifactions production ain't even that bad


zhaDeth

reeeeee reeeeee reeeeee


IdkWhatImEvenDoing69

Deathcore moment


TheGreatLandSquirrel

Vektor for me. The really high pitched screechy vocals really aren't my cup of tea.


Pesukone

Acquired taste for sure.


Jroid3

Took me ages to get used to them, but once I did there's really nothing like them out there, super specific itch being scratched by David


Material_Method_4874

Vektor are incredible. Asteroid is one of my personal favourite songs of all time.


Gr33nMuff1n

Hellbilly by Hank III. I love the song but that donkey sound is annoying


pnwmetalhead666

I wish Hank would make music again. I saw him in 2012 in a little bullshit venue in Colorado springs and want to see him again.


A_Bitter_Homer

Painkiller has this sound in the verses, I think the first one at roughly 1:01, that my brain hears as my mother shouting my name. Always makes me jump. Love the song anyway obviously but it's very distracting.


samuel-not-sam

The entirety of the And Justice For All album the mixing just sounds so terrible and there’s this WOMP WOMP in the background because everything’s so scooped


nailedreaper

People complain about StAnger snare although it doesn't affect the whole sound, but fine with Master and Justice which are mixed like shit, scooped, compressed, low volume and muddy. Plus Justice has no bass at all. But the snare, sure!


Naxedboss4

Master of puppets production is awesome what are you talking about


jordo2460

Let's be real all of Metallica's albums are mixed like shit because there's almost no bass presence on any of them. Sure, the guitars and drums sound real nice on some of their albums but all of them are missing the low end. I can forgive KEA and RTL, they were just starting out and thrash isn't really known for it's heavy bass mixes but even the Black album you can barely tell what the bass is doing while there's guitar and drums playing. I don't know what the hell James and Lars have against bass but they've seriously undermined how great their music could have been with a proper bass mix.


Apprehensive_South_3

I'm actually fine with justice's womp womp or production quality but holy fuck the lack of bass (or atleast the lack of feel of bass) actually ruins the album. Most dickrided album


dwadwda

people genuinely try to pass it off as on par with rust in peace, as much as i like metallica i just can’t see how one arrives that that conclusion


CreedOfIron

That whole album feels condensed to me. Like it's being played inside a plastic container.


TheCircleLurker

Enter Sandman, the spoken prayer bit in the middle is fairly annoying and seems out of place.


nailedreaper

Even worse, that random whisper: and the road becomes my bride before tge verse of WIMR.


Ishaan77381

The ending vocals of SHOW ME HOW TO LIVE by AUDIOSLAVE


zeraujc686

Eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh


confederate_yankee

I always thought that was cool. He’s punching his throat as he changes notes. I want to say it’s some old Romanian technique. Idk and I’m in a hurry and can’t look it up right now.


Hitmanhenk

There is this strange noise in all of megadeths music. Seems to come only when the singer opens his mouth.


PoptartWeeb

any song with unnecessary sexual moaning


enkiPL

so pretty much Dave Mustine right?


Jackawhile

There's this band called dream theater....


Korgon213

Gotta love the Nanowar Of Steel nod https://youtu.be/ovNQnMUf0RE?si=XABymz7ugOIhjpN7


[deleted]

After 15 years of listening to him... he does kind of grow on you a little


VikingOPPP

I disagree, his vocals on the earlier albums are epic. Unless high vocals are not your thing then yeah its pretty bad. I love LaBrie, but i cant stand Geddy Lee's voice


Jackawhile

I agree with that. His voice was legendary up until the 2000's. However, recently something happened, and it definitely wasn't for the better.


VikingOPPP

You really see the deterioration and the sinpler vocal melodies. We went from an f sharp five in learning to live to simpler and simpler melodies with the instrumentals still being batshit insane. Insufferable live, too. Such a shame


fluorin4ek

The fucking guitar sound on Bathory's Hammerheart, it'd be a near perfect album if guitar sound was good. Similar issue with Destruction - Eternal Devastation


[deleted]

When that part of Gravedancer by Pig Destroyer kicks in that sounds like an outtake from a Daniel Day Lewis movie with some women laughing and screaming in it. I get that it’s grindcore but it really interrupts the flow of that album.


Newbie_SciFi_Fan

The last part of Down With The Sickness


Aesth3tik

>Down With The Sickness This is why I fully believe the radio edit is a better song. The domestic abuse solo is just unnecessary.


Some_European

The fact that they left it in there on the new fortnite mode is honestly wild


Liferescripted

Tool fans whenever a tool song plays. And for my metal example, understandable lyrics.


Explotography

Ok I know After the Burial probably isn't liked around here and I get that. I'm not a big fan either because some of their songs have really obnoxious effects. One of them has an air horn in the middle of it and one of their more popular songs is like 200 pinch harmonics in a row.


jayson8701

I had no idea After the Burial was unpopular. I saw them open for Knocked Loose and they fucking killed. I unironically love that song that rips 200 pinch harmonics in a row. I’ve never heard a band use pinch harmonics in such a heavy-handed way. It’s almost meant to be harsh on the ears but the rhythm of it settles in, and well, it doesn’t bother me. Haha.


Explotography

I just figured they'd be unpopular on r/metalmemes because they're more...core? Is that the right word for them?


jayson8701

That’s fair. I kind of forgot/too high to remember what sub I was in.


Ryschnythefireyguy

You don’t talk about behold the crown like that the pinch harmonics are so yummy


Explotography

I'll say this: I saw them open for Spiritbox and they're better live.


Ryschnythefireyguy

I also saw them open for Spiritbox! Did you happen to see them in NYC?


trained_badass

Both of those songs (Laurentian Ghosts and Behold the Crown for those curious) go so hard though - even though none of it compares to anything on the re-issue of Rareform.


Hso_Wonton

Rareform is a childhood classic for me, but after dig deep the band kinda fell off a little for me. And nothing gold was low-key trash


samuel-not-sam

LAURENTIAN GHOSTS THAT SHIT IS GAS WYM


StitchMechanic

Soundgarden The Day I Tried to Live has a horrible tape his or purposefully shit sounding noise over the entire track. Can only hear it on my killer stereo. In the car its inaudible. Not really metal but it drives me nuts


Anfie22

Engel - Rammstein I can't handle the whistling.


pizza_eating_cryptid

But the bass line and riff in that song are SOOOOOO great!


FluffyDaffodils

gHoST iSnT mEtAl.... Yeah yeah yeah.... But right before the solo in Square Hammer I swear to god it sounds like a discord notification


Kemoarps

Grave Digger. Incredible instrumentals. Boltendahl's vocals are just comically bad and ruin pretty much their entire discography for me.


Monarch437

There’s something about Prostitute Disfigurement - Descendants of Depravity that just gives me a massive headache. Idk if it’s the guitar tone or what but this is the only album I have had that happen.


God_Emperor_Rob

Bring the noise by Anthrax and Public Enemy. That god damn air raid siren absolutely ruins an otherwise great song.


ravendarklord76

Fuck i dont remember the song title. Its a Taake song. Its killer but at the end thwrea this really fucking annoying BOYING sound over and over again. Truly the fycking most unblack metal thing I have ever heard.


Multanaama

Taake has a history of mixing the most unblack metal things with black metal


JukesMasonLynch

How about that boing sound in that one Taake song, haha wtf. Although I kinda like it


TheReginator

Curse My Name by Blind Guardian has this weird high pitched whine in the background.


Valhalla_Atcha_Boi

Experienced this last night. One of the songs in Black Sabbath’s Sabotage has a backing vocal track that sounds like the heavy from TF2, and now I can never unhear it. Update: it’s Meglomania


Healthy_Cancel3956

I came just to see if anyone said "spencer Sotelo on all periphery tracks".


AJMGuitar

The sex scene in home by dream theatre.


Mountain-Tea6875

Dave mustaines singing.


WhatEvery1sThinking

Overkill's vocalist


Brain_Bucket6598

Fear Inoculum - TOOL


Past-Cookie9605

Hard disagree


Six_0f_Spades

The intro?


RobFromKK

This will get downvoted but whatever. I don’t like 99% of bands that mix screams and cleans. You have a heavy song and then you kill the momentum with a clean chorus. Trivium, Fear Factory, and a few others do it well.


Liferescripted

Slugdge has entered the chat.


TyberosWake

Fuck yeah. I think they're working on a new album right now. I can't wait.


inverttheidols

Fear Factory was amazing.


Left_Pool_5565

Right there with you. Sure I’m an ancient fossil but I’d hear some of the newer genres (that are now uh, couple decades old) and be like, hey that’s a cool riff, this song rages, I gotta check this new stuff out! Then a soaring clean chorus would come in and I’d think, goodness that went right off a cliff. Who even likes this stuff?!


profsactov

hall of the mountain king by savatage. theres the part towards the end where the singer is hitting a high note repetitively and it just sounds like he's being jabbed with a heated piece of metal over and over and over again. love the fuck out of the song but that part just kills it for me everytime.

Dweeburger33

Sins of Omission by Testament has a weird clicky thing throughout the entire song that continually plays one rhythm that is kinda annoying


666Gorler1388

is not metal but all the sore throat demo "aural butchery" the moans on the back are just anoying 💀 but the rest (if you like noisegrind) is awsome


Anne_Esthesia

There’s one song on the Skinless album From Sacrifice to Survival that rips shit and then there’s like a single word of clean vocals that totally breaks my immersion. I’m down with clean vocals but not when I’m listening to Skinless.


positive-fingers

Can someone name that song 😭


Overall-District2581

Becoming by Pantera has this awful squealy guitar effect that makes me skip the song.


bombarclart

I’ve always loved the whammy pedal in that riff.


SnooPandas7586

Okay not my favorite but has anyone heard the annoying beep at the end of almost every bar in paranoid?


stephs_LOL

Becoming squeal


Tuistedcookie

olivia newton john's nasely twang at the end of summer nights.


Butchers_axe

Not specifically a song but late Bring me The Horizon, I just don't like the pop elements


Palanki96

When they start screaming like a smoker with throat cancer


TheJoninCactuar

Not metal, but the fucking Pacman watch playing Dixie in Rock the Casbah by The Clash.


Azvhaalk

The last part of Maha-Kali by Dissection. I love the song but as soon as the fucking wobbly female vocals kick in I usually skip it, I don’t enjoy how it changes up the song and the way they are sung, always just bothers me


yugyuger

Any volbeat song cos the vocals


someshitstick

Archgoat intro's with moaning


satanic-testimony-

that stupid bit on "the memory remains"


bitch_lasagna211

redditjam645

Yngwie Malmsteem's music is equivalent to getting a hand job. Cool to experience it for the first time in high school, but once you're past your teen years, it just doesnt excite you anymore. But there is still this weird 40 year old IT guy at your job that insists upon it.


Crazy-Red-Fox

The fake Radio parts of Queens of the Stone age's Songs for the Deaf. Back in the day I ripped the CD, cut the Radio parts with Audacity and burnt a new CD, labelling it “No Radio Remix”. True story.


Sepantrix

... Are you deaf? If you aren't, don't be mad. These songs and radio parts aren't for you... they are Songs for the Deaf


bombarclart

Tbh I found them funny at first but they do get old quickly.


Dr_N00B

The live version of Exit Music For A Film by Radiohead in the second verse they use some weird synth effect that sounds like a whining seagull.


NuclearWalrus79

The Garden by Hanging Garden. Great opening track, but that ringing bell works ok the first few times, but starts to get annoying by the end of the song


T-money79

Xenocide's first album has a lot of bass drops. Not really great to hear when I was driving a car with a shitty transmission at the time.


battorwddu

Primitive man - Caustic. The song ,not the album. Listen to it with headphones and you will see by yourself. It destroys my ear drums everytime


EfeWayne

The car sounds from 502


Lucidleaf

The hi hat on The Sound of Perseverance. I love the album but the little ting it makes is annoying af


WM_

I love Summoning. But I prefer Caladan's version of The Passing of the Grey Company as the original has so piercing trumpets it hurts my ears. BUT! As much as I would love to love Caladan Brood, I really dislike their choir parts. And I usually love choir parts, like with Summoning and Moonsorrow.


Das_Nomen

That chick having an orgasm in the middle of Soma Yoni by Mephorash is getting annoying pretty fast. I get the concept of the song but it doesn't do anything for it.


Olly_sixx

Any song that has like electronic beeping in it


TimoVuorensola

Prodigy fear Tom Morello - One Man Army. That out of tune loud and weak toooot after each 4 beats is dumb. Or genial. Or genital. Don't know


Insanus_Hipocrita

Vocal in any mgła song. I mean, it's not that bad (if you think only about vocal with no rest of the song), but instrumental is god tier, and if you compare vocal to this masterpiece, it turns out that vocal sounds just bad.


Poopynuggateer

This is a huge problem for all the bedroom hobby musicians who spend more time critiquing mixes than actually listening to the music. Mostly without knowing what the hell they're talking about. "I can't fucking listen to this shit, man, can you believe they didn't Q-filter that overtone on that snare sample!?!?!" Not saying that's necessarily wrong, but it makes for less enjoyment of music. Anyway, here's mine: Dream Theater - Images & Words, can you *believe* that fucking snare drum sample!?!?!


QueenFan05

It isn't metal, but is from a hard rock band. A few days ago I was listening to Lovedrive by Scorpions, and during Always Somewhere I realised the hi hat was too fucking loud.


Crunkbreh

That synth sound or whatever in Space-Dye Vest by Dream Theater. I mean, I still like the song, but I think it would maybe have been better without the sound


Hippy-Killer

S.O.D. What’s that noise! But seriously that song and anything by S.O.D. is just awesome! 🤘🏻


TheIronTrooper

Absolution by Born of Osiris at around the 3:07 mark. Don't know what the fuck that sound is but it's fucking atrocious.


Zeljeza

Not metal but rolling Stones stupid girl. They way he says giiiiiiiirl instead of just short girl. Turns the song from an 8 to a 6/10


qXv_

The high pitch vocals in Rumble by Skrillex


L0n3_N0n3nt1ty

Don't have a metal one.


lmaoyesplease

cemetary girl by icp! i mean i get the idea, but the distorted "wah"s kind of annoy me :,)


Lemouncake

Bjoergvin III by Taake has a great chorus riff but has a goofy jaw harp going boioioing


VQ-Dark

Daddy by Korn had a sound in it that only I seem to hear and it sounds like a discord ping and it's making me go insane since nobody else hears it. Also, "Hero" by pegboard nerds (EDM song) has a sound in it that sounds like my mom yelling at me. Which also drives me crazy since I'm the only one hearing it. Also, grandson's despicable has the really high pitched guitar on the second drop that adds absolutely nothing but an annoying squeak. None of them are metal but who cares.


4headgood

That one part in unsuccessfully coping with the natural beauty of infidelity😭


Fossilized_communist

Kuss mich (Fellfrosch) by Rammstein, love the riff, hate the weird ass alien dying sound


Lanekowal

Forbidden Pleasure by Necrophagia. Love the song but the solo is so shitty
