OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

i'll be honest, high on fire kinda bore me too.

I haven't heard Snakes for the Divine but you just took yrself off my xmas list buddy

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.

really digging this right now though:

looks like neo-thrash

I am completely over neo-thrash

Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:24 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

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.

i know, right?

still think this line from the dude's other review posted on the metal thread would make a great ilx username for someone:

"a pulsing vibe on the clit of aesthetic eureka"

scott seward, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:31 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

words of wisdom on the back of the bazooka album:

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

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link

this thread took a bizarre turn

Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:34 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

xps yeah I am trying hard here to parse the dog simile and it's just not happening

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

but that incongruity plays right back to the disconnect he's talking about

Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link

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

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link

The idea that the reader needs a backup example of 'disconnect' is also slightly off, to my mind

god forbid, an incongruous image

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)?

i like the dog line! wish i had thought of it.

scott seward, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:45 (fourteen years ago) link

can dogs flip pages with paw-static?

nakhchivan, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:45 (fourteen years ago) link

dog was using a kindle, obviously. paw pad.

scott seward, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:48 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ (dyao), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:56 (fourteen years ago) link

or should I say, tip their PAWS???

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ (dyao), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link

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.
