@ven



Sure, I can agree with the sentiment there - it echoes my point almost entirely. Some may not like the arrangement or general sound you mentioned liking in a record like this, but are much more into the "brutal" death metal you mentioned and any lyrical prowess of this isn't going to elevate it out of that canyon of unenjoyment

Regardless, on an emotional level, brutal death certainly feels more sincere than whatever panhandling this album’s going for.

Yeah and it speaks to how certain people look for different shit in their music. Tbh this isn't even the sound I usually love too so this shocked me but like it's close enough ig

And I'm not entirely sure what the litmus test for sincerity is for some people cuz artists that are genuinely going through shit get accused of being insincere and "romanticizing" mental illness all the time

"piss off certain groups elsewhere the same way Babymetal caused a stink"
i do not have the patience to give this the reply it maybe deserves, so surprise self-improvement workshop come up with five four three reasons why the two are fundamentally different in appeal and/or controversy

Yeah the groovy metal gist of this record isn't something I really dislike, I'm just not super into it, but the underbelly of cringe fuckin sequenced drums and imagine dragons-esque swag-rock is enough to make it a stinker that is definitely not crawling it's way out of that status

It's not even about Sput. Go into any metal group and there's equal parts people who like it and people who got hyper offended by it the same way metalheads got pissy about Babymetal existing. I'm kinda here for how much it pisses the elitists off.

Everyone kept shoving sanguisugmaballs down my throat like it was gonna change my life and then when I checked it out it was just okay. I was told I wasn't allowed to have a top 10 if that album wasn't there and mfs really psy opped me into spending 45 minutes on it.

Personally I’m here for this abrupt topic change

Most pedestrian grade dm is just as cringe as this, discuss
