Mixtape Game ExTreME EdiTiON!

If you say: 'having "on base" musical tastes is not a virtue,' then the contrapositive is: 'it's a virtue to have "off base" musical tastes.'

By logical equivalency, it Is what you said.

False dichotomy, I simply don't see a consensus as valuable when it comes to art, which is entirely subjective. If you value base when it comes to music you like, you inevitably set yourself up for hypocrisy when it comes to a band you don't like.

You already proved that point with Angel Witch who are a universally well-considered "classic" band.

Best rebut you've ever had.

@Baroque if you wanna win just pick some trad doom and bask in the fellating that follows.

 

[Phylactery]

Nah angel witch is shit, it has literally zero musical merit. Rated highly by plebs with no taste/education

This is actually hilarious. Your (entirely shitty) point has just been turned around on you and now your comeback is that Angel Witch are only rated highly by plebs, whereas the ratings for your pick on MA are obviously by highly intelligent people with great taste. Just ridiculous.

Another example that counters this is Transilvanian Hunger's average of 87% based on 24 reviews on MA. But again you'll just say these reviews are from uneducated people with no taste because you don't like it. Let's just completely disregard the fact that Darkthone's members are more than capable musicians. however they decided to put their talents to making minimalistic songs dripping with atmosphere rather than showing off their instrumental capabilities. The fact that this is no easy task is evidenced by fans of this style not enjoying plenty of minimalistic bedroom black metal acts because they don't have the songwriting capabilities of Darkthrone. Flawless logic.

Or just submit good music.

He ain't wrong

 

[CiG]

Cry more faggots.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Or maybe instead of crying, submit songs. I'd like to have a few more.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I could still use more songs. Y'all are a bunch of ugly ass niggas.

I was hoping at least that @Phylactery would give me a backup choice. Well, I'll give it until midnight ET, then I'll post what we've got.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

O.L.D. - Die In Your Beauty Sleep 10/10
Top 10 grindcore album for me. One day I hope my own band is as retarded as this is.

Winds - What Is Beauty? 8/10
I really liked this.

Stormwitch - The Beauty And The Beast 5/10
This band was once great, this album marked their decline in my opinion. Sorrynotsorry.

Dawn - Diabolical Beauty 6/10
Typewriter drumming fuck off into the hells. Pretty good though.

Crowbar - Repulsive In It's Splendid Beauty 8/10
Hits all the right spots when I'm in the mood, feeling down or whatever.

Hooded Menace - Beauty And The Feast 7/10
For some reason I never got too deep into this band, death doom just isn't my thing, but it's undoubtedly killer shit.

Beyond Dawn - When Beauty Dies 6.5/10
It's going for something in terms of vibe that I like, but I think it falls short in some unexplainable way for me. Somewhat boring, but not bad.

Grave - Beauty Within 4/10
Braindead and boring groovy death metal. No thanks, this is for douchebags that wear flame shirts and chain wallets and have completely forgotten what death metal is.

Septic Flesh - Pale Beauty Of The Past 7/10
Heard shit from this album on previous playlists, it's pretty cool. I'd be willing to dig deeper based on this. The piano adds a whole extra dimension of awesome.

 

[Krow]

Im amazed my back up pick wasn't taken. Really, no one wanted to pick Raped, Embalmed Beauty Sleep?

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

O.L.D. - Die In Your Beauty Sleep
Fucking awesome and ridiculous. Will look into these guys more. 8/10.

Winds - What is Beauty?
Can't stand the verses. The strings are the only thing going for it really. 4/10.

Stormwitch - The Beauty and The Beast
I wish I was listening to the Disney musical instead. 4/10.

Dawn - Diabolical Beauty
These vocals are super dramatic for black metal. The riffs are killer as well. 8/10.

Crowbar - Repulsive In Its Splendid Beauty
This song chooses the road of blandness and revels in the unexciting. 5/10.

Hooded Menace - Beauty and the Feast
Pretty coool doooom. Need to listen to a full-length. 7/10.

Beyond Dawn - When Beauty Dies
The music is interesting enough but the monotonous, drab vox are putting a kink in the tune Had a little redemption in the end there. 5/10.

Grave - Beauty Within
I've been tuning this one out. It's pretty bad. 3/10.

Septic Flesh - Pale Beauty of the Past
Nice and eerie at times. Pretty entertaining, overall. 7/10.

 

[Sirjack]

O.L.D - Shite then and shite now. Even as the parody it was it failed 2/10 still got these guys on tape somewhere
and yeah, l did see the funny side of it - i was never offended - they just suck

Winds - Too typical stringy themes for me but l like the guitars and the cleaner vocals 6/10

Stormwitch - Sterile, and l expected much more from the solo. 3/10

Dawn - This could be any fucking faceless BM band. Toothless unoriginal and mighty fuckin bland riffage 3/10
Actually these are just second hand crap DM riffs thrown together with a synth. this is shite folks. That siad they at least have an idea on dynamics.

Crowbar - l got Obedience Through Suffering at the promise of a huge fuck of a heavy band and they didn't disappoint, but for me, they just never got past that stage of 'oh yeah that's heavy - good riff- cool tune' l always wanted more 7/10

Hooded Menace - This band l have not heard much, l thought these guys were supposed to be thrash! Listenable doom with DM riffs 6/10

Beyond Dawn - emo for the new generation 2/10

Grave - Not their finest moment for a long shot, maybe a bit too 'dancey' for me but that guitar tone is thick and sickly as fuck 7/10

Septic Flesh - Almost perfect. This tune wins you fucks! 10/10

 

[Krow]

O.L.D. - Die In Your Beauty Sleep
7.5/10. Cool stuff

Winds - What is Beauty?
3/10. Eh.

Stormwitch - The Beauty and The Beast
6/10. Good band, not a great album

Dawn - Diabolical Beauty
4/10. I don't really like Dissection and their ilk. Just not my style.

Crowbar - Repulsive In Its Splendid Beauty
6/10. Alright I guess. Not the biggest Crowbar fan.

Hooded Menace - Beauty and the Feast
8.5/10. Hooded Menace's albums have declined in quality recently but I've always loved them since they were on Razorback records.

Beyond Dawn - When Beauty Dies
5/10

Grave - Beauty Within
8.25/10. Worship Grave.

Septic Flesh - Pale Beauty of the Past
4/10.. I just.... In the past I loved Septic Flesh. I'm not sure what happened but I found this unpalatable.

 

[CiG]

O.L.D - Shite then and shite now. Even as the parody it was it failed 2/10 still got these guys on tape somewhere
and yeah, l did see the funny side of it - i was never offended - they just suck

I'll buy the tape off you.

 

[Sirjack]
