Good

I like that providing legitimate criticism of classic albums is met with the jeers of "he must be trolling"

like you can't have bad ingredients in an overall good meal

I was thinking maybe that's what ruined metal too

the dogma of "sacred" works.

I know for fact what I enjoy isn't necessarily good

softies / black metal ruined metal

black metal lowered the bar

ODB is right @devolved

it is clickbait

and @diversity_is_racism said as much

@Death Strike's Bat is there to rile people up, it's 100% clickbait stuff

The music is not melodic; there is no overarching melody; it’s like a three year old throwing cupcakes at the fucking wall. Yes, it’s saccharine until you must behold and clean up their handiwork.

About In Flames - Jester Race

you're retarded pal, deaf, some amusia shit

oh that's it

"overarching melody" what the fuck

it is not criticism first of all @vry_o , it's just attempts at comedic insult bitterman style

who's bitterman?

secondly, it's just bad, like Cynic - Focus may be terrible but the SMR is just lame and most importantly, not representative

Good morning @fallot

hi @Spinal , I wish I knew who bitterman was, did try to narrow it down to a couple of people but never could actually pinpoint

but it doesn't matter that much, I'll tell you what is known

some dude calling himself bitterman started to write hilarious reviews on metal archives for various albums

it got some traction both on metal archives, where a minority appreciated it (showing that there are always discerning people here and there)

and on the DMU forums/frontpage comments

soon after, we got Sadistic Metal Reviews which were written in the bitterman style, the earliest I suspect were by whoever was behind the monicker in the first place

enough talk though, I'll just show you

unfortunately you cannot simply click his profile anymore on metal archives, so reviews must be searched for individually

a pain in the ass
