Hell

Phenomenal review!

It may not be essential, but you have intrigued me a lot, dear Dok... 4.55 --> 5.

The review is nice but... Next time, divide it into paragraphs; it makes reading much easier and more fluid..!

I'll gladly download these.

Dj, it’s a duplicate but it expresses different viewpoints from the other two reviews that have simply panned the CD in question. If a duplicate has a different opinion, that’s fine, indeed, even more... The review is well done from the first to the last syllable. 5 for one and 3.5 for the other (but I round up).

But still, excuse me for a moment... "everyone wants to stand out, everyone wants to say they listen to complicated things, yet no one is willing to engage in listening." Who told you that? And then, what the hell does that "everyone" mean? And anyway, have you had empirical validation to draw this conclusion? But that "everyone" might just refer to the people you’ve interacted with; don’t you think it’s likely that NOT EVERYONE is like that? Why say "everyone" if you don’t have concrete evidence?

Damn ThirdEye, I'm about to make your comment look good...

And now why did he repost my comment?? O_O Anyway.. @Jaw: Well, I had quite a bit of time to study these Dark Funeral, their first album for me was Diabolis Interium, which in my opinion is their best, then the first two, and finally this one, which disappointed me the most. Of course, I never felt like judging something without first deeply understanding its characteristics, both positive and negative, and even though I initially showed skepticism about this band, I still took the trouble to listen to their albums, hoping to find something worthwhile. I didn't find anything (except for Diabolis Interium), and the last album reviewed here, as you can see after several listens, did not please me, so I came to discuss it on dear DeBaser. The empirical data is there, the judgment is there, and the conclusion is there; therefore, the matter is not lacking in logic and consequently does not demonstrate the existence of ignorance (whether musical or not, in the end it universally reduces to mental ignorance in general..). It would have been blatant ignorance if I had barely listened to the album, but apparently that's not the case. Should I have informed myself? Certainly. But, prior information or not, it wouldn't have prevented me from freely expressing my opinion about this group.

Jesus Christ, I have to rewrite the whole other half! Well, I don't feel like going back to it, I'll just conclude by saying that it's wrong to draw general conclusions that can be applied to everything; I'll tell you, I've dealt with 'metalheads' that seemed rather scrawny, so there are idiots in every considered field, that's undeniable. Evaluating the negative aspects of metal, and black metal in particular, is a good thing and is above all honest, but this shouldn't necessarily imply a total devaluation just because there are defects present... Then if you hate black metal and those who listen to it, there's really nothing I can do about it. After all, things are as they are and there's practically nothing that can be done to change certain aspects. Well, in the end, black metal is a genre that interests me just like all the others that exist on the face of the earth. I listen to black metal just as I listen a lot to classical music, and I love Celtic music and much more... It's always a source of inspiration for me and my writings, just like all the other genres. Music is an immense channel of thoughts and images with a thousand facets, and to fully understand it, it is necessary to refer to every single aspect, and among these, there is obviously black metal, so it’s a fundamental piece that I will hardly give up over time, regardless of the mountains of criticism that pour in from everywhere...
