GMD Poll: Top 10 Metal Albums of 1992

"I am a perfect objective judge of art, as long as I enjoy it"

lmao. Even if you dislike that Solitude Aeturnus album, I think you'd have to be deaf (or just entirely unfamiliar with metal riffing, possible considering your usual proclivities) to not notice that there are a lot of things about it different from most other trad doom.

You obviously don't understand what it means to be unengaged. Keep swinging in the dark though.

The critical point is that if you cannot first engage an album (because of your subjective bias) in order to judge its artistic merit objectively, it contradicts the idea that you are an objective judge of music. Being able to engage any album is prerequisite to being objective. Writing off an album as "background music" after a couple listens sounds like subjective insertion of how much enjoyment you get out of the album, unless perhaps you're making the argument that it features objective qualities conducive to a background music experience, similar to ambient music.

You're too annoying to talk to.

Wow, a year I didn't particpate

 

[CiG]

That Manilla Road album was way better than I ever remembered it being. Having 3 different vocalists really makes it feel varied and refreshing, as much as I love Mark the Shark.



There's stuff on this album that would easily appeal to people who typically don't like this band that much.
