My friend, you are misunderstanding the point of "joke metal" if you think its a spit in the face to TRUE metal bands. Take Tenacious D, for example--those guys wouldn't be doing what they're doing if they didn't actually like, or love, the stuff they're poking fun at.

Joke metal isn't made to make people like you and me, who take music seriously most of the time, feel like asses. Its to remind us that you shouldn't take anything TOO seriously--that is, to the point where you can't handle a joke about it.

Of course, joke bands are always much more fun if the music is good, which in this case unfortunately doesn't apply.

Good review Kyle, even if I don't share your enthusiasm about the covers.

I disagree. I think more things should be taken seriously on earth. I feel that this "so what" and "joke" attitude many have taken on many things will destroy the world.

Rigor Mortis has never left. They still play shows in Texas all of the time, especially Dallas.

As for this band, it got old quickly. They should have decided to become an overall parody band, instead of just an Arnie parody band. The well has already run dry for this subject matter.

Yes. Even the Bible says this.

I'd have to agree with both Husker and Walnuts on this one. The band sucks, as does Lambesis' other band.

I though As I Lay Dying had something going on Shadows Are Security but everything else they've done has been a huge miss.

I don't mind sarcastic, humorous bands, like The Dead Milkmen and The Meatmen. Because that's just how they are; it's a natural-sounding part of the music. It fits.

Shit like Austrian Death Machine—which tries way too hard to be funny and witty—is good for a few minutes, then it gets annoying. It's like the musical equivalent of candy corn—okay once a year, and even then it's not good for long.

Are you serious? What will "destroy the world" is a bunch of foolish asshats getting all pissed off at something totally insignificant to their lives.

Can he be b&, please? Thank you.

I don't like metalcore one bit, especially As I Lay Dying, but I had a chuckle at a few of the songs on the first album (not that you can really ever listen to them a second time). I guess I'll be borrowing the second CD for one listen, if I ever get bored enough.

There's a difference between taking something too seriously and having a "so what" attitude toward it. This isn't a jab at you, but I honestly feel sorry for you if you don't recognize that difference and live your life without a sense of humor.

Being serious for the moment, I fully believe a sense of humour is necessary if you don't want to turn bitter and nihilistic about life. Taking things seriously is not getting the cosmic joke.

So, then, you have no sense of humor. It all makes sense now.
