Nooooooooooooooooo, don't simply not get it because a handful of people say it is crap! After all, some people like the "Destiny" album! Everyone has different tastes, my opinion of the Venom LP is that it doesn't give me a hardon like, say, "Black Metal" did, but then I don't think I've heard much in the last 10 years which gives me wood. Go for it - you might love it!
Aren't they on tour over there now?
