YMMV / Despised Icon

Go To

  • Broken Base: Let's put it this way: The Healing Process is literally the only album that the fanbase can agree on. Consumed was either an incredibly strong debut or a dime-a-dozen brutal death album, Ills was either a major step forward or was a sellout album, Day was either the natural progression of Ills or was emblematic of everything wrong with deathcore in the late 2000s and the point where they turned into a parody of themselves, and Beast is either an incredibly strong comeback or a massive disappointment.
  • Signature Song: "In the Arms of Perdition" and "MVP".
  • Vindicated by History: During the 2000s, the media thought they were just another Deathcore band. Following the band's reformation in 2014, Despised Icon are now considered one of the genre's founding fathers, with The Healing Process and The Ills of Modern Man being some of the most influential deathcore albums among newer deathcore bands.
