Seriously...if the debate on AYDY? must continue please raise the tone to mature, and stop repeatedly spouting bullshit when its already clear what your view is.
Thank you.

In your opinion you loved the album? Well, in my opinion you didn't.
Now, seriously: Have you considered the possibility that people are criticizing the album not because the previous person did so but because they truly think it sucks? I haven't heard the album, but if so many people say it's no good compared to "Something wild", "Hatebreeder" and "Hate crew deathroll", which i
have heard, then i don't think i want to listen to something that will shatter COB's reputation on my list (not that i would hate the band for just
one album, of course). This means that i won't speak shit about the album, but i still find this thread (of which the message is basically "people who criticize COB's new album should die a very horrible death because they're complete idiots") to be a very sad one in the sense that its infinite stupidity is saddening. If you liked the album, which you clearly did, good for you! That's one more cd you'll be adding to your collection and nine more songs to listen to than people who didn't like it have. But that doesn't mean that everyone else has to like it. It doesn't mean that
anyone else has to like it. Maybe a lot of people hate it. Maybe the vast majority of COB fans were horribly disappointed with it. Does that entitle you to flame them and wish death for them all? I won't answer that; i'll let you answer it for yourself.
You know, Day_Before_Dawn has a point. "Fanboyism"
is extremely annoying. I don't want to start a discussion about politics, but i'll use this analogy: to like every single album a band puts out just because you're a fan is exactly the same as supporting a stupid decision made by a president just because you were born and live in a country (i believe every moderately intelligent person who reads this will understand the analogy). "Fanboyism" is just as fucked up as nationalistic fanaticism is, with the only exception that fanboyism isn't important in mankind's history. Just think about it for a while.
To criticize an album doesn't mean you hate a band. On the contrary: It just goes to show how much you like the band. It means that you care enough to buy or download the album, carefully listen to it, form an opinion and write something comparing it to previous albums.

Shagoroth: Of course this is at least the 15th thread about AYDY. Or did you really expect COB fans to be silent about the new album? You can't say everything there is to say about an album in a single thread.

Seriously who can sit through 40 minutes of music?!?!?!
I can if the music is really good. And i'm sure most people don't just sit down and listen to a whole album. They listen to it while doing other stuff. Unless the album is amazing beyond words.
Is it really necessary to put so many !s and ?s at the end of that question?

Something_Wild: I, for one, would say the same things on a forum than to a band member's face. It's stupid to post shit on a board and then go on to say the opposite shit to a band member. Just so you know. I do agree on saying
why the album sucks, though. You have a point there. It's also stupid to say something without knowing why you're saying it.

COBSteele02: Wrong. I post a lot more on the Dark Tranquillity forum than i do here (because DT is my favorite band, but that's not the point), and that's a band who releases a different album each time around. They don't totally change (the essence of DT is still there), but each album is something different. I believe this enriches what a band has to offer. While liking COB's earlier work (namely the three albums i mentioned above) quite a bit, i do have to admit that it does sound more or less like the same album over and over with only slight variations, a different color cover and more or less different song titles. And i'm not the only one: most people on the DT board accept and even like that DT changes a bit with every new album. And they're not just stupid fanatic fanboys. Some of the people over there are quite smart and good arguers.

on a serious note, if i were sitting here sucking alexi's little dick like all you fanboi faggots, you'd love my music.
That is sadly true. Mindless zombies who go with the flow because it's easier than going against it; that's what most people are. And, since they're mindless, they speak illogical shit and say whatever they think will earn them a better reputation. (Not talking about any of you in particular, just stating a horrible truth about most of humankind.)
