Good review, but went back to read Thryce's and in all fairness, his was better =P
Either way, I'm interested. Thanks for the heads up  |

Grand old mindfuck??
Okay, I'm fucking on. |

"It's not the kind of metal I'm keen to put on."
Then why would you be reviewing this album? I can never understand why reviewers review a style they're not into. That makes no sense.
Also, no mention of the individual tracks? Weird. |

^Because its hard to take a review, at times, from someone who's a fan of the genre seriously, as they can always find something in it to enjoy, whereas if you can ''sell'' a piece of music to someone who isn't keen on this particular genre of metal, that's pretty impressive, and can communicate a sort of ''universal'' enjoyment factor of the music which can be appealing. As for mention of individual tracks, that sort of review content seems to be at the discretion of the reviewer on this site, from what I've seen.
Enjoyed the review, especially the Ron Perlman thing, that made me smile lol. Definately gonna give this a listen sometime, I like a good dose of paranoia in my music every now and then  |

^ I understand your point, but if the reviewer isn't familiar with/doesn't enjoy the style/genre, they don't necessarily understand what is going on/don't know what to look for stylistically. For example the statement "Tracks might not really ever build-up to anything satisfying or dramatic, and riffs may never give you much to hold on to" doesn't do the album justice because that is the style of music the band plays & very purposeful, I would assume. It's not standard writing here.
Anyways, the review was positive, just stating my opinion as I see plenty of reviews that don't quite make sense to me & I had to say something. |
|
|
|
| ^ I disagree completely. I think they are a killer band & this new album is even better than the last.. But I guess that's the beauty of opinion.. |
|
|
|
| Well written review. It was fun to read, but if you have to be high off your ass to enjoy this, how good it is really. |
|
|
|
This review reminded me that I've had a copy of this sitting on my shelf for about a month. I guess I need to listen to it eventually, when my mind and body are ready.  |
|
|
|
| ^ Nah, I don't party @ all & I dig this band a lot. The music is the drug in my opinion. |

| It won't surprise me if people like this. Loads of people bought into the absolute manure that was Diapsiquir. To be fair though Drug Honkey are many, many times better than them; they're at least listenable. |

| Honestly, it sounds as if you are just doing the reverse of what you accused the band of doing. Like you want to be - that guy who has to bring some negative view on the situation. Just because a band is different doesn't mean that they are "trying" to be different. Jeez. |

Honestly, it sounds like you're simply being defensive over a less than positive opinion of a band you like / are in. There's absolutely no basis in fact for the reasoning behind your comment; nothing but misguided deduction on your part. Unless you can somehow prove that my opinion is diametrically opposed to the comments on this thread purely for the sake of being "negative?"
In actuality I didn't say this band was different, in fact I'd say they have a very generic take on a very common concept of "extreme" metal, wherein lays my problem: it's uninteresting and unspectacular (not to mention averagely executed). I actually said that they want to be something but fail at it, not that they want to be different. I thought that was pretty clear reading back on my comment. |

|
| Haha.. Ok, we'll leave it @ that. You win. You're right, they suck. You are awesome. |
|
|
|
& no, I'm not in the band. I'm just a fan on the other side
of the world. Although, I wouldn't mind jammin with these guys. |
|
|
|
Ron Perlman's face crawling around in your ears... where do you come up with these images? Gonna listen to this just to find out what that kind of experience is like  |

Oh the arrogance.
(I'm refering to the classic "bought into" argument instead of people simply not having the same tastes) |

That's how I explain how so many people like Brutal Death Metal |

|
| Now I have to check out this band Diapsiquir. |
|
|
|
| You'll probably love them. |
|
|
|
| Haha. Probably. I love you too. |

| Now, now fellas. There's plenty of me to go around. |

| Poor musicianship, boring as hell...I don´t know why people keep saying things like "deformed and grisly in a captivating way", Please, its just bad music, if you want grimness and slow tempo, go pick up a good funeral doom record. |

As I'm listening to the album right now, it seems the musical pseudo-ingenuity just cuts off somewhere along the road, negating all the vibe and all the build-up with some randomly placed occasional echoes and droning whispers of guitars and vocals. The latter songs are as dry as a nun's chef, even by doom standards. It got more interesting in the end, though.
I know it may sound nonsense to say it but this band really has the potential to deliver better than this. |
