Yosif

it is also testified by the reviews. How many on metal and (the first genre that comes to mind) on downtempo? Come on.

hell is not your case, I saw that we have different tastes in common, like cold meat stuff, etc. Of course, I was referring to other characters like ilmigliore, andre86, defender, katharsis, & co. It would be hypocritical to claim that a good 60% of the users here aren't metalheads, or at least have tastes in that area. Don’t you think? Yosif.

icnarf, it’s obvious that I’m not questioning that story, nor do I have any interest in it; my example was meant to signify that you can talk to me calmly, without the need for petty insults and telling me to fuck off (as you have already done in another review). Because this is not debating. If you think you’re facing the katharsis of the situation, responding to you by insulting you, you’re mistaken. I have never and will never throw personal insults at you, first because we’re on the web and that would be USELESS as well as childish, and second because there’s no reason for it, just as there’s no reason to say “go pick maruzze” [a more veiled way to tell me to "fuck off"], so what should I tell you? I was right to avoid you and to continue the discussion only with those who have expressed themselves with sensible discourse. You should learn. ;) Discussion closed.

expose them *

I forgot -> only then will he have reached maximum musical maturity to discuss with me. Right now, the stimuli are close to zero, and the only people here who have been able to argue their points and expose them without childish insults are cooloras, stoney. The rest, no, perhaps there will be a way to engage in more interesting discussions elsewhere, but certainly not in metal reviews. Best regards.

<---- ..........as the good Herbie Hancock said, it is an ally, and not an enemy. You can make good music even by singing normally (generating any kind of emotion), rather than "singing" like slaughtered pigs; in the world there aren't just those 4 instruments, but you can go beyond, dare, experiment, RENEW (in short, a bit like the great Miles Davis), rather than playing the same song for 20 years (of course there are exceptions like Lukassen, Meshuggah). Only then will one have reached maximum maturity, musical culture, and be able to appreciate all genres, without mental barriers (typical of the average metalhead). --- all the responses on this post, and on the previous one, I don't intend to continue further. ;) de-salutations, Yosif.

Sure! Please send the text you'd like me to translate.

65: "beloved viruses"? Let's not exaggerate; just because I reviewed one of their albums (the only one I gave a 5) doesn't mean they are "my beloved." My favorite bands are different, and I have no problem telling you that in terms of look and clichés (since you brought it up), they're at the same level as Pantera, meaning they’re ridiculous. [Many metalheads won't admit this; they prefer to continue believing Phil is cool, that the Bill Kaulitz of the situation is a fucking idiot, that Hilary Duff is an incompetent whore, and so on.] [[[All characters on the same level, with artistic abilities close to zero, surviving mainly on a STRONG image they've created]]]. But back to the viruses, it’s clearly the music that counts, and in the end ---> the virus 1 Pantera 0 for life. _________________ __ POINT 2: It’s true that many black, metal, brutal, etc. albums to which I gave a 1 I haven't listened to (that's obvious), or at most, I’ve heard a few tracks on MySpace or YouTube to get a minimal idea (which other 1-givers don’t even do), I often vote by genre, so don't preach to me because there are indeed people here who give a 1 to albums they've never heard (I’d like to see how many of those 700 who gave 1-1 on Marco Carta's review have actually listened to that crappy album!). Go check out the comments from ilmigliore or trotadamare; you'll see that a good 80% are all random 1s. I reiterate that I’m not speaking out of bias; there’s something (but just a little something) in metal I like. As for Vulgar Display of Power, the discussion is different; unfortunately, I had the chance to listen to it a few years ago lent to me by a friend who was completely obsessed with that album. He made me listen to it, and my impression was that it was an absolutely bland, pseudo-aggressive product, with an irritating, boring Phil, in short, very hazy. If you want, I can go listen to it again and tell you more precisely since it matters so much to you (I would gladly do without it, considering that finding a compromise with certain CLOSED people is impossible). For this reason, regarding the rest of the discussion, I avoid responding individually; I've already written what needed to be said in the long post above, and here, moreover - drawing back to the parentheses - after what was said in the first four lines of the Stoney essay (I take this opportunity to let you know how much I esteem you; you're one of the few who can think here!), why continue? It’s pointless to think you can keep up criticism or question the category of metalheads-metal records and the like, at least in this venue. I’ve tried in other reviews, but the stimuli are genuinely reduced to zero. It’s superfluous.---> I’ll explain it to you simply with the examples they give in elementary school --->: I, a math teacher, explain to a first grader that 2+2 = 4; he doesn’t understand and thinks it’s 5. I explain it to him again, but it’s no use.... So if being a math teacher is my job and I’m paid for it, I insist until the little kid learns. Obviously, I am "the teacher," and you are "the little kid." Since there are no motivations to continue here (like a salary and the role of teaching), I see no reason to keep this discussion going. After all, if I don’t teach the little kid that 2+2=4, he will figure it out on his own a while later - perhaps not until he learns and understands multiplication tables. The important thing isn’t that he knows 2+2=4; the important thing is that he knows how to do all the calculations; it becomes irrelevant. The moral of the story: those who now praise this album, metal, Pantera (all stuff for a teen target) are expected to understand when they grow up (I hope) that in reality, the album was shockingly poor, just like the genre, after all. Maybe they’ll laugh about it; they’ll listen to something more serious; they might grasp Stockhausen's avant-gardisms (randomly citing the first great example that comes to mind) without saying (

great review as always.

a discussion that is nothing short of pointless. Sure, I honestly think Alkaline Trio sucks (you’ve reviewed better), but I find it useless to talk about "commercial," tier three, etc., when you’re praising as the album of the century the review on Pantera (a super commercial band for an even more teen audience than Alkaline). Keep it up, Taurus, review what you like most, without worrying about the mental gymnastics of metalheads, brutalists, rockers, etc. You should know that they prefer the 100th review on Maiden, Led Z & co., and the contribution to the site is nonexistent or almost (since many limit themselves to just posting or trash comments like the friend here trotadamare. :)
