I am not going to lie. I am not a fan of black metal. I have had bad experiences with both black metal and the man who wrote the songs on this album, who will not be named for his own sake. You see, the singer of this band, who for the sake of his anonymity I will call "John Smith" broke my laptop with black metal. It makes me very angry so I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Anyway, this album is alright I guess, for being part of such a bad genre. There are a lot of loud guitars and shit. I just don't think it can be called black metal. I mean, John Smith does not scream or yell or gurgle or anything, which is pretty much what black metal is known for. He just kind of talks over guitars. Like he is talking to someone while the music is recording. Because of this, I think I am going to call it "conversation metal." I used to enjoy his cool vocal stylings, but then he broke my laptop. But hey man, bygones are bygones and shit. It's just pretty messed up that he did that to me.
There's a song on this album that I was listening to once called "Through The Trees" and it was just kind of going on and on for like an hour, being droney and shit. I was like "what the fuck, John, hurry up and do something else" but then I looked at the cd player and saw that it was just frozen. You may be saying that that was my fault, but maybe if I didn't have to spend all my money on fixing my laptop I would have been able to buy a real copy of the album instead of making a burned one with mp3s I downloaded. But whatever man, that's neither here nor there.
Overall, the album is alright. Kind of. Maybe. I guess.
Score:
__/10
I have decided to withhold giving it a final score until John pays me back my $800 or, like, sends me a signed vinyl copy (vinyl is strictly for cool guys like me) of this album and, like, a tape of him doing various interpretations of the song "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.
Ball's in your court, John.
