Magnificent, you refer to the cataloging of record shops. What a better source, this enlightening technique of yours. Anyway, no one here has written that "they are Metal." If you make things up on your own, then don't ask us for explanations; learn to read, then to listen, and then, maybe not, write. Everyone has explained the issue to you clearly; if your little brain can't analyze a thought more complex than "I am metal VS I am not metal," I truly feel sorry for your teacher, but she hasn't done a great job. << dude, obviously you don’t know the whole story behind the release of my war >> What story do you think there is in a date? Take the record, read the copyright: 1983, period. No stories, no reasoning... they're just dates. Either you know them, or you're just spouting nonsense.

Ah, then I wanted to point out this gem, << my war was released between '83 and '84 >>. And how long does it take for an album to come out, a couple of months? The label releases it, and then gradually there’s a little creature wrapping the records and bringing them one by one to the stores. My War was released at the end of 1983, period. The "release date" is always set on a specific day; at most, we can discuss the time of release, not the year. And thank goodness you actually play... wow, how knowledgeable you are.

Anyway, Wizard & Sleep draw heavily from both the Melvins and Saint Vitus, a band that the Melvins have also studied closely. Born Too Late, Mournful Cries, and V are respectively from '86, '88, and '89, and even there you can feel the germ of what would later become the '90s stoner doom. The Melvins have contributed a lot, but it’s not all about them. Always keeping in mind that, when it comes down to it, Toni Iommi's little amputated finger always pops up in any discussions related to heavy stuff. Even the Black Flag, for instance, owe a lot to Iommi. And Iommi, damn it, is Merdal!

The key point of this completely baffling reasoning of this Alessio is that he knows jack about Metal. He hasn't even heard of Wizard. As for Sleep, don't even get me started. He doesn't even know what Drone is. Doom? Forget it. This guy thinks Metal is all Vergini Sgozzate A Luna Piena; it's hard to explain something to someone who is totally oblivious to the topic. Why even say to him, "Think about Sleep, think about Electric Wizard"? When he thinks about it, he sees a black hole. This guy has four records at home and even dares to write something. Respect For Human Cases!

I have a nose for the human case; I never miss one. I’m Nick's left hand (because the right one is busy with other stuff).

No, you’re mistaken again, you’re ignorant on the subject. Come on, it’s not that it SOUNDS like Porn, it IS Porn. There’s quite a difference. It’s HIS project, he’s the Leader, he decides what to do, as well as when and how to do it. You call the distortions Heavy, in English that translates to - alla bene - Heavy. Heavy like what? Is it going to be like Heavy Metal? But no, how can it be? Anyway, you only answered one of the 15 questions I asked you. Tell me where I’m wrong, I told you where you went wrong. That thing about Buzzo’s Bible, for instance, is complete nonsense; you can’t take an interview from when he was 18 years old, forget the 9000 interviews that say the exact opposite in the 25 years that followed, and then impose his thoughts from when he was young and clueless. I don’t believe he would spit on My War now (besides, you even got the release date wrong), but don’t worry that it’s not at all his bible. And in Melvins, I’ll repeat, there are now two guys who are UNAPOLOGETICALLY METAL. You reviewed (the) Melvins, that (the) in parentheses is new; it’s a new lineup. Get updated, turn on your brain, look, just because the homepage is full of lost kids doesn’t mean we’re all like that; we have a few tons more records than you. It’s not like you come here to teach us. Just to give an example, I reviewed this album two months before it was released. You’re just the latest arrival; get in line. And maybe pay for the ticket to read our gems.

Nick, listen to me: this is a human case.

And all the people who played with the Melvins, where have they gone? Into Metal. And where do the two guys who are now the new wing of the Melvins come from? From Metal. And what are you saying? It's unclear. And where do you find reviews of the Melvins when the record has been on the market for 5 seconds? On Metal sites. And what do people wear at Melvins concerts? 70% of the time, metal t-shirts. And when you search for the Melvins online, where do you find them? From users with their hard drives full of Metal. And what are you saying? Again, it's unclear. But you're nice, congratulations. I WANT TO NOMINATE YOU AS A HUMAN CASE (And I've always had a Nose for these things, which has proven to be right).

<< I didn't mean 2006 or 2005, but metal in its entirety. >> You just gave a 5 to an album with a terribly metal sound. Played by people who have lived with metalheads for 20 years. One is even married to a metal girl and has two other bands, both metal. The other plays with various metalheads and if you ask him what his favorite albums are, 8 out of 10 are metal. When he had just finished high school, he said that thing about My War, but for 20 years now he has appreciated metal much more than rock. Moral: wow, what a genius you are. << why are there all these convinced metalheads among the comments of a review of a band that draws more from a certain type of punk (Black Flag)? >> Triple wow, you are a fantastic humorist.

Beautiful also Red Sparowes & Isis (though better are Agalloch), and also Solitude Aeternus from those pumped this year, Fidia. Then for the series "who knows," I would throw in Ocean Chief, Minsk, Hog Mountain, Gates Of Slumber and another 3/4, counting just this year. The point is that now metal has been around for over 20 years, and recycling has begun, stabilizing itself like other genres. Rock is full of shit bands, overflowing, but we are used to the fact that they exist, so we only select the best. Indie, don't even get me started, Punk stabilized two days after its birth, etc. etc. We have to come to terms with the fact that it’s no longer a genre for the few; it’s played by dogs and swine, and now even crappy records are coming out. We're just too spoiled; it’s not like we could expect the "golden age" to last forever; in fact, it lasted even too long. Now we just have to select. Nice review, senseless and full of nonsense, just as Buzzo would want. Too bad Buzzo says nonsensical things on purpose, while the reviewer might have wanted to be serious.
