I am not but hurt, and these are far from reviews. Reviews don't usually try how even though people like a band, they only do it to fit in/express masculinity etc. Making fun of bands fans, or the bands intentions isn't really a review of the band.

Oh; I'm mainly referring to anus' review section. Aside from it's nihilism front, it what it's mainly known for.
The opinions expressed on that site have been pissing people off for a long as I can remember.

is the guy with the gay haircut the one who wrote these reviews cuz... thats kind of the impression im getting. i dont listen to 99% of the bands he was ripping but i can still respect them for writing music and doing what they love doing for a living. id like to see or hear what this guy's accomplished other than acting like a snobby hipster.
PS
Ulver > whatever the fuck meaningful scenester bullshit that guy listens to

MikeofdecrepitudE said:There's no point to get upset over the opinions of others. Just because he say's those bands are gay doesn't make it a reality. You're still going to like whatever it is you're into. exactly. i wouldn't care if i was the only person on the planet who liked a band. if i like the way it sounds, i don't care if my neighbor thinks it sucks or a guy on the internet thinks it's gay or the queen of england thinks it's for pussies.

ITS THAT SPINOZA PROZAK MORON NO FUCKING WONDER!!!!!

I was looking at the website to see who writes this crap and there he was. Im surprised nobody's dragged this dork out of his parents basement and stoned him to death.

How did devil driver NOT make this list?
Funny fact about Devil Driver is that their original name is "Death Ride" and
chose not to go with it because it was too offensive after 9/11... pretty turdy.
[Feb 1,2010 2:58pm - arilliusbm ""]
I just remember booing devil driver off stage.
[Feb 1,2010 3:00pm - sir coughsalot ""]
remember when vanilla ice tried to make a comeback with that shitty nu metal band? buddy of mine pissed in his beer cup and nailed vanilla with it while he was on stage. i dont know why i just remembered that but whatever.

in the Cynic part -
"If you take a few guitar lessons, you really want to show you've got that knowledge, so you start listening to Big Important Concept bands and genres like jazz, which is sort of like degraded classical music for people who need ideas pre-chewed."
LOL!! Say what you want about Anus but it seems like their quality control department needs to be sacked.

i got a good chortle out of reading those "reviews". i expected nothing other than exactly what is written.

There's a difference between the type of joke Crotchduster is and the type of joke Dethklok is. Crotchduster is just a band, one that doesn't even play live. The band is the basis of the joke. Dethklok is something that started out as a sub-joke inside of a TV show created to be humorous. In that context it's funny and that context is where it should have stayed. The fact that there are Dethklok albums and tours going on tells me either that they are expecting to be taking seriously to some degree or the projects are being driven by greed and that's something I find disturbing.
[Feb 1,2010 3:59pm - arilliusbm ""]
I hate dethklok and all that it represents.

And not liking Cynic? "Cynic fans like to act outraged that anyone cannot see the greatness and complexity of Cynic"
Really? Where does he come up with this shit? "Traced in Air" is a beautiful album that sure, isn't metal, but who cares? It's great music, really relaxing, catchy, and melancholy. It's perfect rainy day music.
This guy seriously just thinks his opinion is the word of god. He sounds like such a duchepillow.
Aren't you doing the same thing?
This always cracks me up: people don't realize that by telling someone with a strong opinion that the strong opinion is wrong, they are asserting an EQUALLY STRONG opinion.

glad you recognized my allusion to the thread I made 2 years ago. A true rttp veteran who prefers frozen smoke over real smoke. I applaud you, Lamp.

I don't hate Meshuggah, they just bore the bejeezus outta me. Cynic is I guess interesting for the bass. Eh.
[Feb 1,2010 6:30pm - DestroyYouAlot ""]
Ulver does pretty much everything they do well, from where I'm sitting. But then, maybe two, three of their albums are even relative to a metal list, sooo...
And getting offended by Dethklok is like being outraged by Josie and the Pussycats.
[Feb 1,2010 6:52pm - arilliusbm ""]
Dethklok doesn't offend me. It offends one of my greatest interests and hobbies, and now exploits it for cash. Down with that blasphemous show. Burn it to the ground.

hahaha or what about Catastrophic at that Immortal show oh so long ago? all the bikers there for Manowar were booing at them and heckling them so bad that the vocalist was all huffy and yelled back at them and was all like "everytime we play here... i hate this fuckin place!"

That show will remain classic.

Though another thing that I find kind of odd is if the writer truly believes joke bands are stupid, why not put S.O.D. on the list... the original joke thrash band.

FUCKING WONDERFUL LIST! Been an avid reader of anus for nearly a decade.
if you still don't get anus, you're missing the point.

i wanna know if there is something he isnt opinionated about and let him write an article on it
[Feb 2,2010 12:47am - BSV ""]
i dunno people focus too much on these being "opinions" rather than common sense stating that obvious-just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good. It's not an opinion that I love to hate most of those bands, it's a fucking fact and I hate them because they choose to whore themselves out rather than make metal that is cool.
FUCK YOU ALL, LISTENING TO SUMMONING WILL FOREVER BE BETTER THAN WATCHING PEOPLE DEFEND MESHUGGAH FOR BEING AN INTERESTING BAND.
[Feb 2,2010 12:54am - Lamp ""]
Meshuggah fucking blows. Worst mind-numbing crap ever.

i hope that when Scaphism releases material it ends up slandered on anus.com, even if it's just because i love Opeth and Meshuggah. i'll be honored.

Nope. I wouldn't venture to tell someone why they don't really like a band, i'm only defending that i'm not trying to look smart or fit in by listening to it... like his "review" implies. So take your broad based arguments and shove em! oh ya!

Ya, you didn't really address that.
You said, in essence: "He says this is bad and he's wrong. How dare he tell me what's right or wrong?"
Thus doing the same thing you complained about. No universals = no universals, but it also means that your opinion on universals is not a universal.

yes i did, reread what i said.
