ODB is right @devolved

2017-03-17 07:15:50 UTC

2017-03-17 07:15:55 UTC  

and @diversity_is_racism said as much

2017-03-17 07:16:12 UTC  

@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.

you're retarded pal, deaf, some amusia shit

2017-03-17 07:25:43 UTC  

oh that's it

2017-03-17 07:26:38 UTC  

"overarching melody" what the fuck

2017-03-17 07:27:29 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:27:49 UTC  

who's bitterman?

2017-03-17 07:27:54 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:27:58 UTC  

Good morning @fallot

2017-03-17 07:28:42 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:28:49 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:29:19 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:29:59 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:30:17 UTC  

and on the DMU forums/frontpage comments

2017-03-17 07:30:55 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:31:13 UTC  

enough talk though, I'll just show you

2017-03-17 07:31:44 UTC  

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

2017-03-17 07:31:48 UTC  

a pain in the ass

2017-03-17 07:32:43 UTC  

re: the bitterman comments being deleted

2017-03-17 07:33:40 UTC  

Ah

2017-03-17 07:33:48 UTC  

Thanks

2017-03-17 07:33:55 UTC  

Was he banned? from m-a

2017-03-17 07:37:56 UTC  

Guess he was

2017-03-17 07:38:52 UTC  

No

2017-03-17 07:39:07 UTC  

Pretty good reviews, they have substance without being a bore

2017-03-17 07:39:14 UTC  

Yeah, substance, exactly

2017-03-17 07:39:20 UTC  

that's the SMR problem

2017-03-17 07:39:23 UTC  

no substance

2017-03-17 07:40:13 UTC  

you can google bitterman site:metal-archives.com and get all of them

2017-03-17 07:40:35 UTC  

I think the SMR's are justified considering the amount of enui involved in actually listening to the crap

2017-03-17 07:41:23 UTC  

Everything that ruined metal is documented in this one album. This album paints a picture of AC/DC shirt wearing pickup truck drivers heading to the meth house after swigging too much malt liquor while watching a marathon of Maury and Dog the Bounty Hunter. It's this single piece of drunken bafoonery that sapped all the creativity out of metal by showing people that they too can make money by playing groove based rock with faux-aggressive vocals and throwing pot leaf designs on t-shirts. It is the prototype for Korn.

2017-03-17 07:41:36 UTC  

So it's painful to the listener, the reviewer and the reader
