@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
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
re: the bitterman comments being deleted
Ah
Thanks
Was he banned? from m-a
Guess he was
No
Pretty good reviews, they have substance without being a bore
Yeah, substance, exactly
that's the SMR problem
no substance
you can google bitterman site:metal-archives.com and get all of them
I think the SMR's are justified considering the amount of enui involved in actually listening to the crap
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.
So it's painful to the listener, the reviewer and the reader
may be a good idea just to avoid it then
I could never do an SMR personally
