I really don't see your logic if you used my post to build up an argument, considering that I mentioned how reviewers went wild over Colony and Clayman. You just can't deny the fact that R2R is sub-standard, and far from mind-blowing like the two aforementioned releases. I don't deny people enjoy it, for what it's worth. And I don't blame them or find it in any way wrong. We all have individual tastes, obviously. However, every album preceding Dark Tranquillity's Haven was given the thumbs up by the "metal communities" (don't know how else to say it), as was every album preceding In Flames' R2R. Sure, there were some people who refused to accept their direction. It's tough to please everyone. Carcass' Heartwork must have got so much shit from the diehard fans upon its release, and now it is heralded as a metal classic.Nifelheim said:
So what's stopping people from saying what they like and dislike? I play guitar. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I'm good. I've been making impressive progress over the past couple of years. Fucking thumbs up for me. I'm still in University doing a Biology degree. You think anyone gives a shit that I play guitar? I do it for myself, and it gives me little desire to look down on someone in a condescending manner because I think that it gives me some right to criticise music in a "know-how" manner. The fact is that you are generalising about quite a few people here who are disappointed with a band that they appreciate and enjoy for most probably the same reasons as you.Bozz said:
You know, I like a lot of stuff. Katatonia and Green Carnation are hardly typical "metal"! And yet they have received a lot of press and appreciation from people who typically enjoy the genre (metal, that is). Why can't you just accept that people don't like this stuff because they think it's shit? (someone has already brought this one up) For fuck's sake, you can't rob people the right to an opinion. Sure, you have the immature pricks that just come here to start trouble, but the majority of people I've seen here have stated honest and decent opinions of what they think of In Flames' new output.
Not really. He just didn't have the balls to reply because I fucked him from the get-go of my initial post. And not to be a prick, but if you're going to write one word sentences, you should make sure they are spelt correctly, or else you just look like a moron.Final_Vision said:
