Yeah but it wouldn't hurt to pick anything that isn't like the most mainstream metal you could possibly find. But I guess that's kinda the point, that it would be easy to recognize.

Honestly, I don't mind Nik's content, but the "How to [BLANK] in 30 Seconds" worked better as shorts than as full songs. Only exception to that rule is Primal, nothing else here hit me in the way I wanted to.

It's a fun experiment, but nothing more than that

Yeah they fit way better as shorts and I get the feeling he didn't actually want to fully flesh them out, but was pressured by the fans lol. Sure feels like it from how half-baked it all was.

The "making of" videos for each of these songs were pretty cool, but yeah, I wouldn't listen to the songs just to listen to them.

This review and all the comments miss the point by a mile. Of course it's half baked, That's the point. It's just some fun. This review is just nonsensical ranting of an elitist. If it's not some obscure local band then you hate it, huh?

@Ash: Hardly. I like basically every band here (except Lorna Shore post-Flesh Coffin). These just aren't very good songs to me. The shorts were cool, but it felt like he didn't even want to make these into full-lengths till his fans begged him to.

One of the bands he's spoofing here literally has my AOTY right now it's not that I "don't like mainstream" it's that this project just wasn't as good as it could've been, and the Lorna rip is so obnoxious it made me want to pull my hair out.

It’s even funner to fully bake something, it tastes better.
