Thread: The Official Metal Thread

  1. I just looked at your profile for the first time. You're 20. It all makes sense now.
    Boo, Hiss.

  2. ... the type of rudimentary beats and fills that even Slayer would be ashamed to insert as the rhythmic backbone in one of their albums.
    Good post.

    Ageist.

  3. It counts for something when you didn't live through the things you're criticizing.
    Boo, Hiss.

  4. "Had to be there."

    I see!

    I agree with you to the extent that there are events in the past with insufficient documentation that can never be experienced again, and for that reason, cannot be fully understood by those that did not experience it, but with the advents of recorded music and the Internet—which gives us easy access to interviews, biographies, live videos, etc.—we are able to—at least as much as a vicarious experience can— experience exactly what an artist was experiencing during a particular period of artistic creation, and accordingly, what he/she wants us to also experience with a particular work (again assuming that we are attuned to and interested in those intentions).

    So to simplify:

    You're right in regards to some things, but I don't support that line of logic when it comes to properly preserved music.

  7. Red Sky > SotS

    100%. No questions.

    I mean, SotS still rules, in a kind of catchy generic way, but seriously... nowhere near as good.

    See, what you guys aren't getting is that wasn't generic at all when it came out.

    ...and, Terminal Spirit Disease > Red in the Sky.
    Boo, Hiss.

    Maybe I meant "still rules, in a catchy simple way". As opposed to lol-metalcore.

    Also:

    Rwake - Voices of Omens
    &
    Minsk - The Ritual Fires of Abandonment

    Best albums of 2007. And they're touring together.
