You know I don't get why after someone attacks St. Anger they always feel the need to defend themselves with "and I'm a huge Metallica fan." I mean most people are in agreement it was shit right? Why do you feel the need to back that with "I'm a huge fan?"

They probably think their opinion of how much it sucks is more important and more powerful simply because they are a "huge Metallica fan." If I'm right, then they really should stop it.

I also like Orgy, too. Come get me.

Why? If anything, it is quite a powerful statement when you put it THAT way. If something is SO sucky that even the diehard fans of the band can't help but acknowledge it, that has to be saying quite a f'ckin' lot.

Well for one thing, I don't trust the opinion of die hard Metallica fans whether they are for or against any of their albums. But that's my own personal feeling about them.

Secondly, no one person's opinion is more important than someone else, despite who they are. Like, say a black man is fighting for his rights, eh? He fails time and time again. Then suddenly a white man stands up and sides with the black man, and all the white bigots realize the error in their ways. They wouldn't listen to the black man's plea for equal rights, but all of a sudden the white man who side him says he should be given equal rights. Suddenly his opinion is more powerful and more important than the black man's. I mean, if HE thinks blacks should be given equal rights, then that means they should, right? No. Despite who says it, black should be given rights. A person's racial or social standing or anything shouldn't define their opinion.

So to all the metallica fans; ya need to shut up and stop acknowledging the fact that they are metallica fans when they talk about how much St. Anger sucks. You saying it isn't going to make it suck anymore than it does. That's Metallica's job and they've done a damn good one at that.

Honestly, I just re-read this, and can't believe how big of a deal it's been made into. So to conclude, I'm sorry.

lol. all I was saying is that the point that even a Metallica fan can't force himself to like it is a strong indication that there's not much for anybody else there either.

Rage Against the Machine

Metallica has sucked ever since Mustaine left them, considering Mustaine has more talent in his pinky toe than the entire rest of Metallica has in their entire body.

...I'm going to get e-raped, aren't I?

And I mostly agree with the Cure's new one, but Muse's next LP may give the Cure a run for their money.
