Album Rating: 5.0

I don’t really get the lack of hooks complaint from a fan of the band. If anything, this is the only album in their discog that has more than a couple of hooks, in the form of some catchy melodic riffs.

Album Rating: 4.0

If there’s one important lesson that memento guy taught me it’s that hooks are bad, so you must be wrong (because he loves this album). I’m sure he wouldn’t be seen near it otherwise.

hooks all over their music

Album Rating: 4.5

@Demon I never said 'hooks are wrong', I merely stated, I generally prefer music that doesn't emphasize the use of 'hooks' as in 'easily reproducible earworms' (that are repeated often throughout a song). And yes, this Ulcerate album probably has comparatively more riffs/moments (in relation to their old stuff), which come close to something one could call a 'hook', although those parts are also quite complex, so perhaps the term 'hook' doesn't (entirely) apply.

Honestly, that is a pretty clever movie reference.

Is that a Far Cry reference?

Memento plz talk about the cosmic significance of death metal.

Album Rating: 4.5

@Egarran: Death metal has no cosmic significance: the very concept of death metal, as well as the musical phenomenon sic, do not exist extrinsic to the historicized socio-cultural, socio-economic relations of our own social reality. For something to have any significance on a cosmological scale, regardless of what such a categorization might precisely entail, it ought to be endowed with an ontology which can exist beyond social reality, which is furthmore ingrained into the fabric of the universe so thoroughly, it could effectively be described as cosmologically ubiquitous. To suggest that death metal is, in its current contingent, socially constructed form, cosmological, is to champion a postulation of unrivalled hubris.

Happy now?

>Death metal has no cosmic significance

I use DM as a representative for human consciousness. There seems to be no reason for the universe to create such complexity, and yet here we are.
Unless it has significance, we must accept that it's just a random configuration of waves and particles. And I ain't goin do dat, even though you regard such a stance as hubris. Which is a strong word for it, because doesn't hubris always imply a punishment?

Album Rating: 4.5

Human consciousness itself is a construct which does not exist extrinsic to our social reality, therefore, it could never be ascribed any cosmological ontology. Moreover, your equation seems equivocative, DM is merely a phenomenological experience, consciousness is phenomenology ansich. Therefore, to conceptualise of our universe as a metaphysical substrate unto which consciousness supervenes, is not merely an arrogation of the highest order of hubris, but also of prodigious ignorance. A stance only worthy of punishment, if one presupposes the validity of retributivist justice in relation to perceived flaws of character or decorum. Ultimately, we reside within an endless multifaceted sea of choas, death metal is but a lilliputian property within that indeterministic cosmic soup, don't get it twisted bro.

Hahahaha, oh Daruis, one day you will see the value in shitposting, I promise you.

Death metal music is the foundation on which the systems defining our reality are based; and these systems are the ones we must destroy to liberate ourselves. Let the music serve as a way to understand its essence. This basic reality, as they say, is not merely that we have overlapped, nor even that we share a political philosophy. The reality is that we must destroy the systems underlying the physical world to liberate ourselves from them. The music might not change anyone's life - or even the course of our lives. However, all of us, at one time or another have some stake in the music and its message, and all of us should have an active part in its evolution.
