I tried, but fuck I still hate it.
The only place it divides the metal community in two parts is on the internet. They became the "cool to hate" band by a bunch of younger hipster pretenders, mainly ones who were introduced to the genre through black metal. I'm not a big fan of the album or band really but its where they found their true sound and stopped pretending to be something they weren't. Cowboys From Hell on the other hand is faaaar from being a classic and is mostly crap outside of 2-3 good songs.This album is such a hit or miss case. I personally detest it, and so does the majority of the board. It's an album that divides the metal community into two parts. Cowboys from Hell is a classic that most of people cherish, whereas this one is a stinking piece of shit with one or two redeeming qualities at best
