No I was wondering how someone so enlightened could find death metal to be cringey.

I dropped an avant-folk record yesterday, I guess some people would call parts of it noise if they weren't aware of that genre.

That was clearly a comeback so transcendent it had nothing to do with anything

Not if it's the guitar equivalent of Kenny G.

Well you ain't no Bob Drake that's fo'sho. 2deep4me

In regards to my comments on death metal, I've just seen countless arguments here on stuff that's all so similar ("this is bad" vs "this is good") that you end up laughing at the insularity of it.

I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

This is good and everything else is Dream Theater

I think we found a weak spot in musiclord Anteater's wisdom.

Darkness in a Different Light (2013) was the first Fates Warning album I ever heard that I genuinely liked. I'd only heard their first two, which are alright, but just sound like 2nd rate Maiden worship with some more complexity thrown in to fill the gaps. Then this was just cool as **** and I went back and had to change my opinion on them. At least from No Exit and on.

But the infinitely different answers to the question "What is brutal?" are a legitimately interesting aspect of death metal. I don't much like a lot of Norsecore black metal, but I know there's the same kind of dynamic, so I don't begrudge them their "insularity", even if I don't get it a lot of the time. But Dream Theater are just nauseating.
