Music Critics Need To Die

[DevilWearsPrada]

I think all music critics in general need to die. I mean, who gives a fuck what you think of a band? Everybody has their own tastes

Innit. Some cunthorse over at the Guardian called Sarah Dempster had this amazing article where she basically flat out said that while Rap/Hip-Hop/Pop/Dance Music etc have all evolved and experimented, heavy metal is the same now as it was 30 years ago.

Compare something like... I dunno, Anaal Nathrakh to Deep Purple, or Eluveitie to Slayer.

As a cynical metaller I'm all for mocking metal (because let's face it, at the end of the day 80% of it is grown men in leather screaming) but come on, that statement is fucking horseshit.

Kerrang's review of "The Electric Sleep" is hands down the dumbest review I ever read. They basically said this at the time it came out.

"This is the best Black Sabbath album in oh, about 25 years."

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage aren't my favorite albums either but they're still a million times better then this album here. Nevermind the amazingness that was HEAVEN AND HELL.

It's because these reviews are written by people who can only name four Black Sabbath albums, and regrettably only one of them will be from their first four albums.
It's a shame that their post Ozzy stuff is overlooked. Eternal Idol, Mob Rules, Born Again, Headless Cross are all fucking killer.

Flat out the only BAD Black Sabbath album is Forbidden.

And Technical Ecstasy. And Never Say Die!. And Seventh Star. And Tyr. And Dehumanizer (I love some of the songs on this but it's still eh.).
