Personally, I don't think many metal fans give 2 shits about lyrics, considering 65% are inunderstandable or drowned out by thick guitars or double-bass. I listen for the musical talent and brutality.
Thas wha i listen for also, i dont care if the lyrics suck or not. i like music, for the music. I jus got COB's Hate Crew Deathroll CD and it kicks ass. I love every song.
I only have 'Follow the Reaper', which is pretty good...I'm probably going to get 'Hatebreeder' and 'Something Wild' sometime, but I'm goign to get 'HCDR' when it comes out. The cover art looks pretty fucking cool. But unfortunately, that doesn't mean shit.
