  1. Yeah I was all like whooshed, but then I reeled it all in and realized that I was doomed since you were still lurking after I posted that. However, I do think that we should implement that policy. If only to save the credibility of my post.
  2. Insulting me gets you on Incandenza's reject list. Is that something you people are willing to fuck with?
  3. No, I mean the whole bullshit surrounding the OMG WHOIZDATBIRDZFELLA and all the threads, posts, insults, winky winks, and everything else. It wasn't funny last year or the year before. It's not funny now. It won't be funny next year. Although bumping old threads is also quite the art of faggotry also.
  4. This fad seriously needs to just fucking leave.
  5. You told me that I needed to hear Brave New World so that's the one I bless with my metal knowledge
  6. It's not as negative as it seems. Just frustration in how the album played out in that it all just started blending together into the same format. Your BlackMetal point is well taken but yes it does all fall under the banner of personal taste. I find Black Metal's repetition to be less repetitive while also being better used in the framework of that style
  7. Jesus fuck, that Juggalo named poster is fucking 24 years old.
  8. No. Stay away from this piece of shit dvd with its awful mix, overdubbed vocals and worthless extras. Pure cash grab and it's just not worth it.
  9. Yes you bastard, I'm currently listening to a supposed masterwork of Iced Earth. My free flowing thought as the album progresses: About 4 songs in right now and I must say. I knew what this was gonna be and it is what I thought it was gonna be. Soaring drum beats, supreme guitar ability filtered into the power metal realm of soaring heavy riffage tempered by progressive emotional balladry. Jon Schaeffer is an excellent guitarist, no doubt. I'm really digging a lot of the riffs and they seem to logically fit into their proper form. He's an insufferable anus, but he knows how to craft a song. Another thing I hate about this genre: chug chug chug riff mad opening gets us going hard -> nice heavy song keeps the momentum going without moshing your head in -> singitty songitty balladry that makes me stab a ball point into my ears because it comes off smelling of cheese and pretense -> riffy song to get us going again. Ok, who the fuck is singing this? This guy sounds like Zakk Wylde if Zakk was wearing a white shirt with a frilly front and curly hair. He's a fine singer but he's RUINING this album for me. It all seems so off tune with everything else and his highs he uses to emphasize a riff or transition are godawful and forced beyond his range. Do it if you can, if not....just don't. Ballad -> chugga chugga again. Schaeffer is really saving this for me. But then I never really doubted his guitar playing. The drummer is doing well to know when and where to throw kick mad speed metal into the mix which helps things along nicely. Song 7 and this really starting to get samey to me. No song, as a whole, has blown me away as of yet and since this is a foray into a somewhat new genre for me, that doesn't make me want to go and investigate more albums and bands. Reaping Stone is on now and it's striking me as a far more sinister Mr. Tinkertrain and I'm quite digging this so far. This singer is still pissing me off with his Zakk-ness but it works on this song since his voice is lower of the register and it fits the dark nature of the song well enough. Well, The Coming Curse goes on like a mofo like all good album enders do. So there you go FS, I gave your boys a chance, but I just can't get into it that much. Schaeffer is everything you'd want him to be in a bandleader/riffman but beyond that everything seems quite...pedestrian. But it's not complacent so I can't penalize them for being lazy musicians anyway. But by the same token, they love sticking to their style a little too much at times when variation would be welcome. Too much chug riffing that goes into power ballad that goes back into chugging. Now I have to listen to Brave New World in some kind of analytical way.
  10. This article syncs up perfectly with "Oh My Fucking God" by Strapping Young Lad. It's creepy
  11. ok that's a little more palatable to me than the 'generic' description. That only ruffled my feathers because my description of a generic album is that it's alike to many other things. And this album can't be accused of that.
  12. Why even bother with the sarcasm
  13. Slayer's sig is too tall
  14. nobody can possibly hate my current setup.
  15. don't mind me, I'm just still trying really hard to figure this one out.
  16. I DEMAND that the list be edited to represent the true title of that Witchery album. Restless And Dead . It also needs to placed about 225 places higher on the list. Regardless, Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk by Emperor is number one, so whatever. This list is going to be ass anyway so I guess I can't be too mad at the inclusion of the interchangeable flower metal bands (symphony x, Fates Warning, etc)
  17. Reign in blood was generic thrash?
  18. I don't think even CWM is capable of working an entire board for several years about his CO hatred.
  19. Kotz is ghey???
  20. Yeah, after the incident I don't dare touch the pink thing anymore.
  21. I can't believe I've been goatce'd. That hasn't happened in a while. I guess I didn't learn my lesson well enough when that first hit.
  22. fuck the rest of the thread. Just join the conversation about Safety Dance and it's Heavy Metal potential I'm having with Big Swigg
  23. Fear Factory was brutal loud at their Calgary club show in 2001. The place shook to the gound when FF, Puya, and Dry Kill Logic got together and played Edge Crusher for the finale. I got my ass handed me in the pit and it was glorious. I actually haven't been to many concerts in my life (like maybe 30 at the very most?) so that tops it I think. And Ruby Soho was a great song.
  24. I've decided that my band is going to do a black metal version of that song.
