Does anybody want to see a really hilarious site? Hereis a hilarious review writen by some st00pid person.
The guy has the cheek to call "The Duellists", one of the greatest songs ever written, "flabby". [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

I don't like the way many reviewers simply hand out ratings around the 90+ mark left, right and centre. At least there aren't the annoying reviews you see on Amazon where people give a 1 star mark to a death metal album and draw the same old "Just noise" argument for the 5,969,858th time. But then again, some of the metal archives reviews have some good criticisms. Even some of my favourites get maligned in a manner that can't be denied. Darkness Descends and Pierced From Within for example. Darkness Descends was critisised as "pure rhythm in the classic populist mould, moronic headbanging drivel for those who really expect nothing of consequence from music." and Pierced From Within was considered "death metal as science. Unfortunately, what they forgot was the art. Underneath the precision and the expertise lies nothing but tepid pit fare. In the grand populist tradition, this is music for motion, music for your toes, your fingers, your neck. It's not music for the mind or the heart."
Oh well, I still enjoy those two albums anyway. [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/happy.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"^_^\" border=\"0\" alt=\"happy.gif\" /] Each to his own I guess.
