UM ain't special at all and their hooks don't hold a candle to oodles more polished bands, I have no clue why you're fellating them so hard.
I 100% agree with Krow-- I do think about it too much, but I think about everything too much. My "dumb way" is how I got hired to write for metal magazines back when they mattered. It's also how I learned to write and play music, be a chef, be a cinematographer and make a living as a writer--now a fiction writer.
Analyzing art is how I learn, so to me it's the exact opposite of dumb.
To be clear: I'm not "fellating" Urogenital Macrophage. At this stage, UM is the best slam I've heard--in terms of what I want from slam-- but it doesn't compare to my all time favorite albums like Phoenix Rising (D666), Rust in Peace, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, Animals, Drama, Close to the Edge, Roller, Mob Rules, Heaven and Hell, Vol. IV, Minus Morgul, At the Heart of Winter, For Those Once Loyal, Grave Damnation, Heartwork, Defenders of the Faith, Open the Gates, Mystification, Crush the Insects, So Long Suckers, Minotauri II, Secret Treaties, Spectres, Red, etc.
That's the stuff I worship.
UM is the best of something I think is getting more interesting right now as it differentiates itself from technical BDM. Someguydude doesn't like their sense of melody---I understand. I think it's great and don't agree.
I've learned that most people on here---if not everyone---like technical BDM. Other than Nile, I don't like tech BDM too much. I like what's happening in slam--simpler, more space-- and where it's going. Kraanium. Abnormity. AP. Begging for Incest. Vomit Remnants (yes, I know this is older). Dysentery. None of this sounds like tech BDM, except some of the new AP.
