Herman are you sure your beef with this guy isn't that you disagree with his opinion, not that his writing is bad?

i'll be honest, high on fire kinda bore me too. but i haven't heard the new one. not really going out of my way to hear the new one though. they are way up there on my list of bands that - on paper - i should love but don't.

would-be challoping
how does this work? even in the absence of biters, a challop is a challop right?

just being honest. wasn't a big sleep fan either except for dopesmoker/jerusalem. i like OM okay though.

I think Songs take far too long to get their bearing and then flail about listlessly, content with grand declarations of emotional quagmire received in wholly disconnected and unfounded ways – sorta like a dog flipping through a Time magazine photo special on the Haiti earthquake devastation. is bad writing.

it's 9:23 a.m. and i'm listening to bazooka. how about you?
recorded at ASSLOVER studio in Taiwan. everyone should record there. i think its actually just a big hole in the ground wired for sound.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Bad writing how? That is very evocative of flailing listlessly to make an emotional impact but being too disconnected from the source material to be effective; it's likely that the anger generated by reading that glib comment is akin to the frustration this dude feels when he listens to this music.
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link
it is nu-thrash but it is really good taiwanese ASSLOVING nu-thrash. the riffs are great.

Q: You really went for a new sound on this record - what do you attribute that to?A: I have to say, it's Asslover. Asslover really left its mark on this record, no doubt about it.

well one way in which it's bad writing is that a dog flipping through a magazine is a wholly incongruous image

seriously though, i've had it up to here with the nu-thrash revolution as much as anyone, but this album rocks hard. very satisfying.

I spent like two hours the other day looking for somewhere that sold dogs playing poker on a button-up shirt in a size below XL - it's as if they only expect fatteys to wear them
― Originoo Golf Clappaz (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:38 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno abt that; a dog watching images of earthquake devastation on tv at least makes some kind of sense--with his construction i get pretty stuck on how the dog is flipping through the magazine without thumbs.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link
otoh if he meant the dogs that also play poker all is forgiven; i understand completely
The idea that the reader needs a backup example of 'disconnect' is also slightly off, to my mind

sorry incongruous might not be the right word--i mean it doesn't make any goddamn sense

isn't that construction like the commonest of common writing tropes (ie, allegory)?

dogs actually do have opposable thumbs fyi; they just don't want to tip their hands to their human masters

see if dogs were just holding out on us w/r/t the fact that their paws work really well for grasping, i'd expect them to also be affected by images of earthquake devastation
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
So the question is whether dogs love Chinese neo-thrash. As we already know they are asslovers.
