You've gone too far.

Yep, great album even though their rich-hipster-kid attitude is gross. The lyrics reflects this attitude a little bit, and that's the album's biggest flaw for me.

Have you heard it?

Sadly, yes. A lot of my friends like them. I think they're shit.

Any particular reason?

[powerslave_85]

I don't know, they're just boring and obnoxious in a "Look how quirky and clever we are!" sort of way. I think their hipster-ism has a big part in my opinion of them, but I would be willing to look past that if I liked their music.

Made some significant changes... I just acquired a couple new albums, which may have been a bad idea so late in the game, but whatever.

I have to check out that Rome album, your writeup at the time intrigued me

[overkiller]

Gah, I just can't help myself, and it looks like I'll have heard 50 albums by the time this thing is over. Once I'm done I'll re-work my list to countdown format.

What did you think of the Nas and the Satyricon?

Still haven't heard the Nas. The Satyricon, well, I think it gets too much flack just by virtue of Satyricon being a "sellout" BM band. It's still not great, or even good really, but there were definitely parts I enjoyed--Satyricon does black-n-roll better than they do black metal.
