What other GMDers influenced your music taste the most?

It's incredibly edgy and self validating to mock Emperor's little quote on the back of their album with the luxury that time and hindsight provides, 2 or more pages bro assing over that, really?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Your standards for what constitute "high art" are pretty low if you consider Anthems "high art". :V

It's okay. We can't all be winners.

(Inb4 some "i know you are but what am I"-esque quip)

Just stop your trolling. If you don't have something substantial to critique the record on, then shut the fuck up.

Folkloric Necro Metal is high art.

Serendipitous choice as I'm revisiting that album atm. It's definitely a work of art, though I don't think "high" would be the right adjective.

 

[Omni]

I do, considering that tbe band used mind-altering substances while recording it, so they were literally high artists.

 

[JontRevolting]

Wasn't it 'Sophisticated Black Metal Art Exclusively' I bet they wished they wrote high instead.

Puns... the lowest form of humor. Nice factoid though.

 

[Omni]

I also happen to think that it's an album of incredibly unique vision and essentially flawless execution. It's one of the best ever in regards to minimalist black metal.

Puns are high art.

Something substantial? Like telling you you're full of shit on the "high art" BS, about a record that is musically haphazard and the equivalent of musical ADHD?

Crimson doesn't like what I say so therefore I must be trolling. Flawless logic.

Protip: We get the album. There just isn't much to get. It's fucking Emperor. They're second-tier black metal, and that's at their best (so, Nightside and Wrath).

people were mocking crimsonfloyd for saying 'high art', not emperor.

I can substantiate my position. Obviously, it's beyond your comprehension so you don't engage with it in a substantial way and cower behind the majority position (slave mentality) and petty insults, but that's not shocking in the least coming from you.

No, it's that you regurgitate the same position with no development at all. That's the sign of an intellectual dwarf or a troll. Take your choice.

Unless you have a real critique to offer, stop repeating yourself. You've made your position clear. If that's all you have it's time to shut up.

Damn, elitist opinions about food, beer and now 'high' art.

Who would've guessed?

Probably should throw grass-fed/organic as adjectives in there somewhere

 

[The Butt]

K

Also nah I'm going to keep going specifically because you told me to shut up.

No, no you aren't

"Serious mod" to the rescue lmfao.

No, no you aren't

Psssst. This is where you lock the thread that's been completely off topic now for more than half of its content.

We'd better lock every thread if this is the criteria used to determine whether they should remain open.
