MicShazam

Forgive me if I have a hard time believeing I would find it as unique as you guys do. Try giving 5 different glasses of red wine to someone who doesn't like red wine. Then offer them a 6th glass and insist it's different. It wont be to them.

I may even give the god damn thing a listen tomorrow just to end this lame discussion.

I'm going to say exactly what I think, whether positive or negative, and make no attempts at showing respect for a supposed classic.
It wont get special treatment just because it enjoys an elevated status among certain people. I'll be fair and honest and 100% subjective.

MicShazam

Nah, It's good on its own. It's going to be of more value if you recognize all of the classical pieces that's been reworked into songs on the album. You probably do, I'd imagine.

Frownland

A better example would giving someone who doesn't like red wine 5 glasses of wine and a glass of orange juice and insisting that the orange juice tastes differently when they say that they didn't like the wine.

As it should be. I **** on classics all day. I at least listen to them beforehand though.

If you say so. That's the part of the argument I'll find out if I can agree with when I listen tomorrow.

Sure, that's the way to do it. That's the whole reason to listen to something: To earn the right to complain about it. Actually ending up liking it is an unexpected bonus.

So now it's elph's turn to listen to Gorguts or be seen as a bitch.

The **** does that even mean? And regardless you're starting to sound like MicShazam. You haven't heard the album, you don't have any idea what it sounds like, and I'm sure Frownland, any number of other members, and I will tell you that Obscura is the orange juice to death metal's red wine.

Well you went off on a guy for not listening to an album that you thought he should hear when he just made a pithy comment (everyone does here).

To start off the exchange you didn't even comment on his coming into a thread about an album he didn't like and another he hasn't heard, you cropped everything from the post but...

And then said...

And then proceeded to slag him off in multiple posts simply because he hadn't heard the album, had no desire to, and also didn't like a Lou Reed album. Seems to me that it would be poor form to refuse to listen to a highly different album in a genre you don't like while belittling someone else for the same, especially once that person has now agreed to listen to it.
