well the last time i checked the focus of this forum was on production and mixing. slagging and hating is best saved for b-mouth (disclaimer: i like b-mouth and read it everyday, but i hate reading the reader's comments and most often avoid doing so.)
if you just cannot bring yourself to listen to anything you don't like, not for even one minute, not even just to hear and possibly learn something that you could perhaps apply in your own work, well then you just painted yourself into a box that's rapidly becoming more and more inbred and downright pathetic.
"watch out every one, don't listen to that awesome Staub drum mix!... 'cuz the band's music is gay and it will make your pee pee shrink".
seriously though, at least 99% of us are here to talk production and mixing.... including the gear, people and even bands that are doing it everywhere from at home in their basements straight through to those at the top of the spectrum of budgets, gear, facilities, etc. This won't always coincide with bands that every casual visitor will think are "brutal" enough to be worthy of discussing.
it's great, and most common here, when music we love also has great production values and stellar mixing (whatever those things mean to the person considering them), but sometimes it won't align like that for everyone..... so it's not really all that interesting or informative to hear about how you hate this band or that band, and how lame or insipid you think they are..... i'd rather read about how good sounds were achieved.... even if it's just opinion.
