You should. Most of it is nowhere near as bad as "Speed of light" (though there are many flaws, as I pointed out in my extensive review) and I've even grown to sort of like that now. But you certainly need to hear "Empire of the clouds", if only so that you're not the only metalhead left who hasn't.

I think the only way to really figure out if you can take it is to immerse yourself in grind until it ceases to become just an endurance test.

Believe it or not, I had considered three areas for "What's that all about?" next year, and they were metalcore, grindcore and avant-garde....
