What's up with all the reviews lately? Lots of great albums being released by well-known bands seem to be being overlooked for the weird shit. I love discovering new bands, of course, and highly encourage you guys to continue reviewing that stuff, but don't forget the bread-and-butter releases, you know. Or am I just old and out of the fucking loop?

Heh, well... 
But seriously; things have been taking a more underground and experimental turn of late, something naturally bound to happen when you have a range of reviewers with individual tastes who aren't that constricted in choice of write-up. Someone says something like this every so often, of course - powermetalreviews! blackmetalreviews! and now weirdmetalreviews! It's a natural cycle, in a week or three we'll be melodicdeathreviews! or goregrindreviews! and there'll be a whole other bunch of complaints. Ultimately, we do pride ourselves on getting stuff done sooner rather than later - any examples of what we've overlooked is always welcome, of course, here, in the Request Zone or wherever. |

So there. Uh oh. I predict me defending it.
As for my initial comment. I'm basing it off of what I've seen over time, not as of late. It just seems that each week there's a bunch of bands and I'm like, "Who the fuck is that?" In the past, I'd know every band reviewed. Haha. So yeah, not really a complaint or anything. I used to make a point to review the more obscure and overlooked releases. |

As far as I'm conscerned, I have a hard time finding anything worthwhile to review right now, and it's not fair if I base the score or whatever on me being a little tired of metal in general. So I'm gonna focus on archives, and drop some labels from the promo-list. Some of you guys know my taste well though, so don't be afraid of sending requests. |

I prefer the obscure stuff, too; underground > overground, if trips to see what the sun looks like are enjoyable in themselves.
To everyone, however, if you note that a new release hasn't been reviewed, PM or email one of us and let us know! We are here to serve our readers as much as we are the bands and labels, after all, and there's no reason why people shouldn't speak up if they see a release going unnoticed. |

I'm starting to agree with Ken. This past week was solid on popular releases you guys have missed but still Starve for the Devil has not been done yet. |

So, you didn't agree with Ken when we were being all obscurist and underground, but now that we've reviewed populist stuff holy shit Ken has a point? If you want Arsis reviewed ask for it. |

It was just an attempt to say 'hey, stay on top of newly released albums'. Don't take things so offensively, brah. |

But we are on top of new releases! I got the promotional details for that new Dillinger Escape plan late last week, for example. What albums have we missed? This isn't at all what Ken was talking about, by the by. |

You're such a girl sometimes. The point is that over the past few months, and maybe longer, the bulk of the weekly reviews have been of more obscure/less popular bands, which, if you weren't so goddamn defensive, you'd know does not appeal to the majority of your reader base. |

Yes, I got that, as I said earlier in the thread, you're just repeating yourself now. I'm still waiting to hear what albums haven't been reviewed as a result of our shift underground. "Lots of great albums being released by well-known bands seem to be being overlooked for the weird shit. " Great albums... like what? Well-known bands... like who? |

Great albums... like what? Well-known bands... like who? Really? I'm supposed to make a list? This is a rather silly way to argue online. |

I see your point Mr. Anus, but it's not like we're able to get our hands on anything.. I'm a poor student, and new releases are expensive if you don't get any promotional stuff. |

Otherwise people might think you are talking bullshit. |
