Wow, that was pretty unexpected.

To Teh Grimarse: I can agree with you, that an opinion of someone who doesn't like a particular style of music is almost always biased an unfair and in many cases ignorant. For example my opinion on metalcore is relatively worthless because I don't care for the music - however, I am an...

The point I'm making is that these 'measurements' are essentially general measurements based on a general perspective and that is created via general opinion. They were never there to being with, but people created them. Therefore all art is subject to opinion - and society deems what is good or...

Some pieces of artwork are arguably bad, and some are arguably good but Art is an expression of oneself. Obviously a nice oil painting that took dedication and hardwork is better than, for example, a wall that has simply had paint splashed upon it. But society and general perception drives whats...

I definitely agree, for example I enjoy Naglfar's last two albums because of its sheer aggression, hatred etc - I listen to ambient for its atmosphere, mood etc. But for me, when it comes to death metal I'd much rather listen to bands like Behemoth, Nile, Panzerchrist & Belphegor's later albums...

I know,thats the point I'm making - it was an opinion to begin with. But if you were to ask the general population or have a vote, they would all say Opeth, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, At the Gates etc.

lol, I knew that was coming. But those are just some of the bands that I listen to and have released good albums recently. I could have easily gone with "everyone's favourites" like Opeth, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates but I'm not that big of a fan of those bands. I know not everyone likes...

In my opinion Europe's metal scene is vastly superior to almost anything that North America has to offer, and on so many levels. Without a doubt in my mind Sweden is currently the best country for metal. Bands like Naglfar, Face Down, Dark Funeral, Lord Belial, and many other bands including...

A question to Teh Grimarse: Would you say N'sync are good or bad? You could argue that they are "bad" for being completely 'manufactured', unoriginal, fake, and lacking any artistic and respectable musical direction etc. But would you say they are good because they helped pioneer the...

As much as I like a thrashy element in metal, I'm not such a huge fan of the bands that actually play 'thrash'. However, I'm not really aware of that many thrash bands out there. I guess this sounds a bit particular but any recommendations for a band that sounds more like a thrashy version...

Well, I listen to music on my computer but I've got a 5.1 and its fantastic. I bought mine on sale for just over $100 cdn. I don't particularily know much else about the speakers other than I am more than pleased with the sound, I don't really care if they're the best speakers or not just as...

Not really, its not the first time this has happened. Its not that they call themselves a super-group, its just the common term used to described a collaboration between highly regarded artists/musicians.

The art is only bad, if the artist intentionally made a bad piece of art work on purpose - if the artist truly believes his work is incredible (contrary to general opinion) then whose to say his artwork is bad? To the artist that would be considered ignorant. And what defines good and bad art in...

Nah, everyone knows "V" is the best letter of the alphabet. "I" is far too narcissistic of a letter. I guess you could finally say "I is better than that band" with all gramatical correctness, and not have it sound like an "urban" thing.

"Universal measurements" is based on a general perception and for the most part, it is a good method of measuring something but in a lot of cases it isn't especially when judging art. You can't define art in such a black and white fashion by saying its either good or bad. "Good" or "bad" is...
