Controversial opinions on metal

[CiG]

Also, can you please explain what you meant by "non-academic American"? Just curious.

What I meant was, I'm more inclined to take a pronunciation correction seriously if the person correcting me is an academic.

so was 2016 a really shitty year for doom or what?

There were a number of doom metal releases that came out that I liked. Especially the Barren Grounds EP by Altar Of Oblivion.

define what/who an academic is.

 

[CiG]

define what an academic is.

This is what I meant: a teacher or scholar in a university or other institute of higher education.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

and what makes you think i'm not a professor at one of the shitty universities out here?

 

[Baroque]

"shitty universities" *lives in the same city as Caltech and not far from UCLA*

and what makes you think i'm not a professor at one of the shitty universities out here?

Hahaha, oh... So many things, my friend.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

UCLA*

lol.

I'm not going to knock on Caltech

 

[Baroque]

lol.

I'm not going to knock on Caltech

What is lol about UCLA? Also USC is nearby.

Google "top research universities" you will find UCLA in any top 50

its a liberal driven school that's a part of the system that is and has been brainwashing the youth of this country since the 60's and 70's. the children of frankfurt and saul alinsky. filth if you ask me.

 

[Baroque]

So all of their other research in physics astronomy and so on is shitty because you disagree with their social science department

 

[no country for old wainds]

There were a number of doom metal releases that came out that I liked. Especially the Barren Grounds EP by Altar Of Oblivion.

well shit, this totally passed me by, thanks! anything else you liked? i've heard various solid stuff like spiritus mortis, lord vicar, stone magnum, mountain witch, spirit adrift - can't say any of it wowed me though.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

social science department

 

[Baroque]

social science department

Uh, yeah?

Did Manowar invent the whole manly/epic backing vocals/choirs/"ahhhh ahhh aaaaahhhhh ahhhhh" thing that Bathory incorporated in their viking era?

Unless you're talking about a different thing, I always attribute that to Priest (e.g. Run of the Mill, Dreamer Deceiver).

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

thanks for pointing that out, i had no clue.

One of the most liberal driven schools ------>>> "its just the social science department bro" ... do you not see why that made me chuckle? Actually, im going to guess no. But anyway, i'd rather not fuck one of my favorite threads up with all this talk about the poisonous universities out here.

 

[Baroque]

I mean I agree, social science is soft and a shitty degree to get. But I would never call all of UCLA a shitty school, they're one of the best research universities on the west coast. For California I'd go something like:

Caltech
Stanford
Berkeley
UCLA
USC

For top 5. But really that's also like top 5 west of the Mississippi.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Berkeley

edit: also, we seem to be on different pages, as you clearly don't get what i'm saying.

 

[Baroque]

lol I figured you would like that one. But do I really need to defend Berkeley as a research school?

 

[CiG]

well shit, this totally passed me by, thanks! anything else you liked? i've heard various solid stuff like spiritus mortis, lord vicar, stone magnum, mountain witch, spirit adrift - can't say any of it wowed me though.

You didn't like The Year Is One? I thought it was brilliant. I totally forgot about Lord Vicar though, I think I'll have to edit my Best of 2016 list.

Well, some other doom metal releases that came out that I really liked were Solstice's To Sol A Thane demo, Cardinals Folly's Holocaust Of Ecstasy & Freedom album, Blizaro's Cornucopia Della Morte album, Pallbearer's Fear & Fury EP, Cross Vault's Miles To Take EP, Garden Of Worm's Double Dose Of Doom Vol 2 was a cool little 7 inch record as well.

Also, this just came out.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

No i totally get what you're implying, and you are right. But i don't want my children being brainwashed into being progtard's and fucking their life up in order for him/her to study astrology or what not.
