Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016

[HamburgerBoy]

Every black metal comment ever.

I've never made a single post in the main black metal thread, and when I shit on black metal, I shit on the music, not the people that listen to it. I know there are/were at least a couple guys here that listen to a lot of the typical atmoshit, but I never attack them because they don't go around shitting on every new member that admits to enjoying Pantera or whatever, they do their forestgaze thing and I do my thing.

Like a true out-crowd man of the people.

Hurr durr if you don't attack people with """bad taste""" you're the same as people that attack people with """bad taste"""

Another absolute gem, Trey Parker.

You literally conceded by logical necessity AT LEAST one of the two central points of your original argument ( (1) you consider Exodus albums after their first when discussing them; (2) Exodus is not tuff-guy metal), if not both, in that last quote.

i said 'most acclaimed', meaning BbB, and then you made an argument about BbB and i shat on it. then you conflated 'most acclaimed' with 'acclaimed' because you love inventing things to argue about.

That's not even what I was implying you retarded pillow-molester.

I like how having a "high" metal IQ is the new hip thing here like its some kind of big achievement.

I think I have less than 20 posts in the black metal thread. I like it but I don't know if I'll buy anything not already on my wish list for black metal

everyone's using it ironically to laugh at crimsonfloyd though

"Material" is a noun of indefinite capacity, not something discrete like "album" or "song". Fabulous Disaster is a highly acclaimed thrash album in most places that aren't your in-crowd bubble. I made an argument about BbB for the sake of the argument BECAUSE I assumed you didn't consider Fabulous Disaster to be acclaimed, which you took personal offense to and then claimed to be a fan of. Perhaps you tried moving goalposts from "most acclaimed material" to "most acclaimed album", but you stress that point when I brought up Fabulous Disaster, instead you simply admitted that it actually was a bad album you only enjoyed as a teen, which was the exact same thing you admitted about Pantera and how you had to defend the fact that you, horror horror, owned three Pantera CDs.

In-crowd vs. out-crowd.

What thread was that in?

In-crowd vs. out-crowd.

You're welcome for that. You may not like BLS but Zakk is a goofy ass dude.

i knew you'd talk about the definition of 'material' next haha. i'll concede that i should have said 'album' if that makes you happy. the central part of my argument was that there's nothing inconsistent about me liking the exodus stuff i like and disliking pantera (and that you're generally a presumptuous paranoid fuck), which i stand by.

I have a sort of nostalgic soft spot for Sonic Brew.

he coined the phrase when he said dak's list in the 2005 thread was further proof of his low metal IQ

My original post didn't even concern you specifically; I'm not sure if I was even aware that you liked Exodus at the time, and the other aspect of my post (Meshuggah and Darkthrone) was directly inspired by a particular member on the Metal-Archives forums, not anyone here. I've certainly made my Pantera vs thrash machismo argument many times in the past prior to that post.

Also it's funny going back to page 3 and seeing CASSETTEISGOD, "I'm not like the other elitists", shitting on someone for their inclusion of Marilyn Manson on their favorites list.

 

[CiG]

CASSETTEISGOD, "I'm not like the other elitists"

When did I ever say this? I've never claimed to not be an elitist at any point, nor have I claimed that I don't attack and insult people for their tastes, nor have I claimed that I only do it as a reactionary. Nice try though faggot.

Manson fucking sucks.

And I'd take Impetigo over the vast majority of shit the in and out-crowd masturbate over on a regular basis.

It would explain why you're taking the radical centrist's position on this issue.

You're being elitist by creating an elitist class of metal listeners to set yourself against.

So is this elitist class something I've created/invented, or are you now admitting that you are a member (or at least an aspirant) of the elitist in-crowd?

 

[CiG]

I don't seem to fit in either group, hence radical centrism I suppose.

And yes, this "in-crowd" shit seems very arbitrary most of the time, as if you just redefine it to suit your point in the moment and of course you're never included in anything that defines the in-crowd, even if you like to opportunistically point out that you like some of the same music.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Where have I used "in-crowd" to defend an argument other than one concerning the in-crowd? I don't use that term if I'm seriously defending/attacking a particular band/album/song/etc.
