as for the Pantera, I HATE PANTERA, and I have no problem shouting it to the whole world. If you can't handle that, well, get used to it, because I will never say I love them, when for me they are worse than Britney Spears (well, let's not exaggerate). Moreover, musical culture doesn’t depend on tastes, but on how MUCH YOU KNOW and UNDERSTAND about music, so the fact that I hate Pantera doesn’t mean I don’t know them; quite the opposite (logic presupposes that in order to criticize something, you need to know it). And if my reviews are anti other bands... well, that’s my destructive style!

But excuse me dear anonymous, who tells you that besides you and your four loser friends, there weren't some other losers who back in '98 spent their 40,000 lira, or their 870 Belgian francs (like yours truly) to buy the album of a loser band and made a maniac face? And who tells you that in 2001, thanks to word of mouth or thanks to festivals (some of my loser friends), there weren’t another 6people eagerly waiting for the release of Toxicity? Who says that I and some other loser didn’t steal this album! (since there's also the review, maybe pathetic, late-teen, snobbish, from a little immature girl angry with the world, on db...). Then who tells you that the kids angry with the world don’t understand a thing about music? The Clash were angry with the world, RATM too, in fact as someone else would say, they were against the system... but, I had forgotten that you, apparently, delude yourself into being omniscient, and so of course you know by heart the albums I own, how I did and when I bought them... that the review is pathetic, on this I can’t blame you, and I accept and respect your point of view, and I don’t expect and don’t even want to insist that you must necessarily like it... BUT for you to claim to be an elite fan of the System, it seems to me that the one who deludes himself into being nonconformist is you...

People tell me that I don't understand anything about music because I don't like this band. But will they ever have anything beautiful? For me, they're just technique and nothing more. And what about emotions? Ok, Petrucci is an excellent guitarist, but that’s not enoughaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. You who surely understand something more than I do, tell me what is exceptional about this band. Wasn't the good old progressive better?

I've never been a big fan of metal, but this album is really great.

I know I'm always boring, but what you sing doesn't matter, it's how you sing it, how you play it, so... Zack made a mistake leaving Rage. Because if he wanted to dedicate himself to politics, then he should have done something else. I gave 5 stars in the review because besides the last part (PERSONAL OPINION), the album description is nice.

I like it. I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm so in love with Eddie Vedder that everything he touches turns to gold for me, I don't know... but I like it.

same

thank you

me and rage are one unique thing, so many memories.. for me, better than ratm. anyway, the rec is really beautiful

People don't understand; and it's not that they're not trying, they just can't grasp it.
