Metal Reviews

No, not that, but I understand it that you're sad that I don't listen to BM anymore, just please will be just sad and not bitch about it 24/7?

I can't help it. I'm a generic metalhead.

And really, were you expecting no backlash after you stated that you'll be reviewing tango and shit ? Let me give you a hint, this is a metal site, metalheads dwell here and if you're doing tango reviews here you'll receive some criticism.

Of course I expected it, that as the whole point why I said I'll be reviewing nuevo tango. I'm just asking you to stop it.

Ok, I will. I didn't know you were such a drama queen.

Thanks a lot man.

Remember the time when I aske d you not to post the "pwnage of Dogan" thread ? Now it's payback time bitch. I'll keep picking on you 4 eva.

(wink)

Ok, then I know you're merely kidding now, you silly generic metalhead.

Haha. Of course I was kidding, you know I sometimes listen to stuff that isn't metal. (like King Crimson, Katai Tamas today)

Oh. Well I really was convinced of the opposite... So would you really mind if I reviewed stuff like Katai Tamas?

I'd like that. Katai Tamas owns anyway, people here should hear of it and a review is a good way of that. I get a metal feeling from Katai Tamas anyway, don't you ?

About jazz and other stuff, I don't know if I'll like them, but let's see if your reviews can convince me they're good.

Good band up until the turdfest they called Only In Amerika.

I think at this point most of you have been hear long enough to understand that the reviewers will review some albums that won't be up to your standard of metal—which is VERY subjective, by the way. As long as they're not too far removed from the metal spectrum I don't think you have an argument. The site is called Metal Reviews, sure, but everything evolves and you've been here long enough to know that this site has done just that. Should a new domain name of rockandmetalreviews.com be bought? Would that stop the bickering? Would you at that point run off to another review website? It's a goddamn name, virtually pointless.

The reviews here are still excellent and well written, if a reviewer steps out of the metal shadow for a review or two, so what? No big deal. We could be writing the half-assed, one paragraph reviews rife with bad grammar and spelling errors like most other metal review sites out there, too. As it stands, MetalReviews.com is still one of the baddest review sites this side of your third nipple.

Can you dig on those treats?

No Ken, those treats taste like shit.

And they don't smell too pretty either.

Actually I'm not sure what the definition 'metalhead' is. I hadn't heard the term before I started visiting this place.. I listen to a lot of metal but I don't really identify with metal subculture.. Am I a metalhead?

I'm a little skeptic when it comes to Misha's diabolical scheme of 'showing us the path' and converting us to tango dancing indie kids . I listen to a wide variety of genres and have a relatively open mind, but what led me to this side was metal reviews.. I don't have a problem with borderline cases, rock, and neo-folk. But tango and jazz etc. does not belong here, in my humble opinion.

Hmm... Interesting poll. I would say a metalhead is someone whose first priority when it comes to music is metal. Since i don't know Misha personally, i decided not to vote. As for the reviews, since i'm ok with other rock genres, i really wouldn't mind if he reviews something apart from metal. Even if he reviews some stuff that i normally don't listen to, i'll not read the review. Simple. I think it's upto to the moderators to decide what reviews to publish. As long as metal/rock is reviewed here, i'll continue to visit this site and use it as a guide.

Misha's review this week was infinitely less annoying than yours. TWO nu-metals and a shitty thrash attempt? Please.

While I don't give this Misha business much thought, you are wrong. There is a difference between reviewing stuff like Rock that Metal evovled from, and reviewing say, Dido(for example) because a Metalhead just happens to like it. It should at least have some form of bridge to the Metal world. You can say it's only a name all you want, but it's a site that is directly marketed towards Metal and it's fans. I listen to stuff that's not Metal, but there are plently of places that review that stuff. As you said, this is one of the few Metal review sites that is well-done and coherent, all the MORE reason for this site to be focused on Metal. There are 1001 "other genre" sites that have great info and reviews, but Metal has very few.

I work at a place called Budweiser and guess what? We sell beer, and only things related to beer. People can get soda from somplace else. That's kind of the point here. Don't want to be a site that's confined to Metal/Rock? Then don't MARKET it that way.

Basically.
