You've seen this? They tend to hate WL/WH even more from what I've seen. The things they tend to hate about TVU (the fact that its production isn't boringly polished, the fact that they repeat things, the fact that they made noise instead of sweep-picking solos, the inventiveness that idiots write off as 'PRETENTIOUS ARTSY BULL****!!!!!!!') are even more prominent in WL/WH than TVU&N. I know many-a-person who've listened to "The Gift" and have thought "THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Alas, metalheads (the stereotypical/cynical/boring-yet-somehow-annoying kind, mind you, not some of the cool ones you'd meet here) have terrible taste in anything other than their comfort zone.
