Liking Stuff You Don’t Like
Anybody who has been listening to this show for a while knows our own tastes have evolved and changed over the years. Maybe I am just biased, but I’d say this is more apparent in Nick, and this episode is one of many that helps prove my point.
Reviews:
Incendiary – Thousand Mile Stare (Closed Casket Activities)

First Impressions:
Origin – “Accident and Error” from Unparalleled Universe out June 20th from Nuclear Blast
Incendiary – Thousand Mile Stare
Hate – Tremendum
Witherfall – Nocturnes and Requiems
-Maybe you think Hate put out so many albums because it is such a generic band name that you are actually listening to multiple bands. There are 11 bands of that name listed on Metal Archives.
-Your review of Witherfall inspires me to listen to some Jeff Loomis.
-In your request to list Nick’s least favorite subgenres, you left out grindcore and doom.
-And it’s not too hard to find bands that Brian dislikes. Just find some proggy bands that are not very heavy.
– There’s that, but we did actually review four albums. I just forgot how/why we did the older one. There’s also they fact that they don’t have the most original sound…
– I actually listened to a Nevermore album. I haven’t listened to Loomis’s solo stuff since we reviewed them.
– Yup. I am curious where those would rank. He has been accepting of more grind things, though not so much doom.
– That is a start, but the songs have to be noodle and 12 minutes long. Also the less cohesive song structure the better.
