Translation: "The rest of my band was fed up with my ego and would've collectively walked out on me, so I preemptively broke it off with them to maintain what little dignity I have left." Tom Warrior may have given us some of the greatest recordings in the history of metal, but that doesn't change the fact that most people who've personally interacted with him, from what I've heard, describe him as a total prima donna and all-around dick. But of course you can get away with that attitude when enough people give a shit about your art. You'd think a decade away from CF would have helped him appreciate that, but whatever. Monotheist was an alright comeback, so maybe he knows what he's doing this time.

True, I would agree. Generally you can't make a solid argument by saying "wtf haters it's good".

Why not? Is it any more worthwhile to list the good points? Is it likely to win anyone over that doesn't already like it? I don't think so.
If people don't like it, fuck 'em. It's a great metal album that's all there is to it. Doesn't need any argument, if people don't like it, who are we to convince them otherwise. They're clearly fucking stupid.

This.
We were at the same show I beleive. Harpos right?
But fuck, I was really hoping to see them again. That show was ruined a bit for me by being with a friend who was being a total buzzkill.
Anyway, here is another statement type thing from Tom's blog.

I liked (and nothing more) To Mega Therion, and appreciate its influence, but thats about it with Celtic Frost. Massively overrated and overhyped band + Monotheist does suck.

Wow, he's really leaving the band. That's too bad.
I do not think Monotheist flat out "sucks", it is ok but I do not think it as good as To Mega Therion or the Morbid Tales EP. I just think that album was overhyped.

Yeah, given that it was Celtic Frost, overhyping was probably inevitable. But my opinions of Tom Warrior as a person notwithstanding, I think he did a pretty damn good job at assembling a comeback record that wasn't a total waste of time. He neither milked the sound of their past nor struggled to fit in with current musical trends, and perhaps more importantly, Monotheist wasn't a record that I'd say I'd have been predisposed to liking merely because of the Frost logo stamped on the front; it was a good record in its own right. Not excellent by any means, but it gave me the impression that the band still had lots of potential. They may have never made another Morbid Tales, but it's still kind of a shame to see things fall apart all the same.
Monotheist sucks so this does not bother me. I listen to Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion and that's it.
