Black Metal.

[The Ozzman]

Your personal inability to keep up with albums and remember your opinions of them isn't a problem that I share. As I've listened to black metal for several years, I've had the opportunity to hear many good albums and also many that were mediocre or just terrible. I would recommend keeping notes to help you remember things. You can even revisit them later and see if the notes hold up.

You are so conceited it's unbelievable.

edit: I should point out that I actually contradicted myself. I have RYM (in my signature!), so I do keep track of shit I buy (but not necessarily listen to and not buy). Opinions change as the years roll by though, so keeping notes isn't necessarily foolproof.

I still think you're exaggerating.

Tracking what you own and having an solid opinion on the albums that you own are two very different things. I generally take notes on anything that I don't listen to regularly and edit them during future listens if my opinion changes. It's just a statement that I find this to be an easy and functional method of documenting my thoughts at the time of listening to music.

That's an interesting idea; taking notes.

Edit: not sarcasm.

And yet I rank all my albums and when I revisit them and my opinion changes I will rerank.

You really do have poor reading comprehension and deduction.

Weird. I don't see anything in your previous post about ranking albums at all. It must have disappeared between now and when you claimed that I can't read.

If you have the ability to document your opinions on music, why am I exaggerating on my ability to do so? Tell me.

I thought the ranking part was implied given the account is at RATE Your Music

The volume. If it's all you do in your spare time, then I could see it as being feasible. But since you claim to have a social life (and a successful love life), I don't really think that's plausible. If you listen to music at work with no distractions, it's also plausible. I can tell you I can't listen to an entire album without being interrupted for something at work. If you can also listen to it without zoning out with work, then yes it's probably feasible. Being a supervisor, I can imagine it's difficult for you to listen to music for extended periods without interruption (if your employer allows that at all). I have no idea what your particular duties are for this position at this company, though.

I wish I were able to listen to thousands of albums and retain all of the aural details with minute precision like you claim. Unfortunately, I can't claim such a superhuman feat.

I will admit that I am exaggerating about remembering everything about thousands of albums when you can show me where I said that I can do that. I specifically stated that I use notes to assist me in tracking my opinions because I can not do that even though my recall is excellent. I'm certain that I could question your reading comprehension, but I will chalk it up to deliberately not reading what I said instead.

As for my job, I spend at least 6 hours per day alone in my office working on spreadsheets and collateral and can listen to music if I want to. I only submit these things electronically, so I don't have interruptions. As for my love life, who says that I have been in a constant relationship during the entire time that I've been listening to music?

Anyways...

So yeah Black Metal ist Krieg is pretty awesome. It straddles the line between rawness and melody quite nicely. Thanks for y'alls opinions on it.

[Slayed Necros]

Sounds good. Trend hoppers like Ketzer should take notes.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I heard that new Ketzer album and was like "Da Fuq happened here?" Shame, too. Their first two albums are great D666 worship, but I guess they want that skillrah more than they want dat pussah.

Well, at least this discussion clarified to me that Omni is less an asshole and more on the autism spectrum, though I always suspected a mix of the two.

This Black Metal thread is serious business.
