Metal Reviews

U2 are fucking terrible. the fact that they're all over the place only makes them more unbearable.

probably my "most hated" band right now.

Somehow makes me slightly less sympathetic towards the website.

Phil sounds like a douche, the guy from Metalinjection sounds like a whiner with too much time on his hands.

You know a band is overrated when people call them the best band of all time because of their charity work.

haha, that has inspired me to listen to Dopethrone

lols.

Scotland.

Brilliant.

Héhé. Charlie Hedbo, not my cup of tea (politically too far left for me), but they have balls of steel.

This has been the topic of discussion among many students in my social circle (many of them not Scottish). What I find surprising, enlightening and shocking at the same time is the abounding number of Muslim apologists who, whilst paying lip service to the obvious "well of course violence is wrong" will immediately insist that the newspaper should NOT have published anything so insulting to Islam, that satire aimed at the prophet (always with the obligatory PBUH) is NOT free speech, and that muslims cannot be entirely blamed for reacting to provocation. Moderate muslims are the worst kind, the apologists that hide behind facades of justice and integration.

I was with you until then.

The extremists make no excuses and set themselves apart as obvious toxins to Western society and civilisation. The so-called moderates tell us all the time that they want integration and peaceful coexistence, yet show themselves time and time again as being enablers of the vile extremists, making apologies for their behaviour. This has the result of making extremely valid critiques of Islam seem offensive and "Islamophobic" (a term I still claim to be an oxymoron- phobia implies irrational fear, and there is nothing irrational in fearing Islam). t least the jihadists make no pretensions and give us a very clear target for extirpation.

Yeah, doesn't really make any sense to me either Moderate muslims are what they are. Moderate. I personally know a fuckton of them, they all condemn the torching of Charlie Hebdo and all agree that in our Republic (as is many other countries), freedom of speech and the right to caricature > personal beliefs. Even if that hurts, sometimes. Those who don't agree with that are not moderate, period.

Supposedly Extraterrestrials kept all their esoteric knowledge in a "library of metal"

Think about it.

In related news, SG could have done a better job masking their lyrics from the un-enlightened:

Not long ago a plan was conceived where all could be revealed
Critical info delivered in secret, but kept out in plain sight

We're underground 'cause we have enlisted
Got data in our groove, yes, they gave us the guns
They made us the pilots, a battalion of six
Inside out it's all for one and one for all

Here we are, we're the band, we got your marching orders
It's in the music and the words that we sing
Sing along, sing out loud, and you'll join the answer
We will rock with the thunder of a thousand mighty horses

Um yeah rigggggggggggght

+1. Moderates will be moderates.

My contention is that the majority of so-called "moderates" are not moderates at all.

The majority of people who think they're bright aren't bright so much, the majority of beautiful people aren't that hot, the majority of people considering themselves kind are pricks, etc. The same goes with religion and politics. That's nothing new, really. But genuine moderates exist, and they are legion.

Let's be moderate about moderates.

Goddammit. Blue Record by Baroness is good but that bass drum sound ANNOYS THE FUCK OUTTA ME. Just listen to Swollen and Halo...so goddamn annoying. Hate when little stupid things like that can ruin an album.

I've mentioned this before I don't care
