ChaosEnginesays...Ugh, no.
Of course you should enjoy music at a visceral level, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate it on an intellectual level too.
Being educated about music is not a bad thing
Oh yeah, and heavy metal is not just music for idiots either. You know those "weird time signatures that smart people love"? Metal is full of them, and they'll frequently change throughout a song.
In short, fuck idiots and fuck this pandering tripe.
Xaielaosays...Took the words out of my mouth CE.
chingalerasays...Excellent article CE. As someone who misses reading knowledgeable liner notes and critiques of form and structure, and listens to a well-balanced slathering of all kinna sounds, including Norwegian death metal, trad jazz, rockabilly, or forty-minute Ravi Shankar jams...Even dig me some traditional hymns and marching band from time to time. Fuck, I'd sing that Muslim adhan from a minaret in Morocco if they'd let me make-up my own words.
