In regards to your review, I get Jans' point about judging RIB by the criterias that it should be melodical and harmonious to be good a little unfair. However, I can't say I fully disagree with you as I too quite like melodies and harmonies.  |
melody is not a very good yardstick for metal, unless if it's power metal
it's got to make your hormones burn
yes,
RiB is fast and brutal, but it's a huge massive blur, because the song structures and arrangements just aren't very good, and a lot of the songs sound like each other
