I've said it here before and I'll say it again: that Kruel review is easily one of the stupidest things I've ever read. Nothing in that review makes any sense at all and he clearly wrote the review only to troll or over-analyze the band's gimmick, which is apparently the most IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD IF THEY AREN'T TRUE SATANISTS AND THERE ARE MESSAGES IN THE LYRICS ABOUT DSO BEING PRO-CHRISTIAN! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Fuck Kruel and his shit reviews.

*looks through Kruel's review list*

*sees review for The Sound of Perseverance with the title "Christianity and AIDS"*

*tries reading the first paragraph but closes the page from how stupid it is*

Noktorn's 0 was well done to an extent. He makes his point clearly and in that sense it's fine, but his 0% is clearly hatemail baiting. His arguments basically add up to "it isn't as completely unique and ground breaking as others say, therefore it is artistically invalid and worthless", which is a pretty stupid leap. I mean at one point he flat out says the drumming is good for BM, but tech death did it first, so it's worthless, which is just stupid logic.

I know there is more to a review than a score, but the score does put an expectation of worthlessness to his review, and he fails to justify his thoughts of utter worthlessness, beyond it not being what everyone else talks it up to.

It isn't even an album I think all that highly of, I never said anything about being offended by it, and I'm not a number sperg.

That's pretty stupid, Peroy. The 0% score is there for a reason and it's perfectly viable for reviews, though it's more to be said about the intelligence of many reviewers who just happen to over-use it...

Yeah that's stupid peroy, 0% scores are perfectly valid.

Seriously, how can there be zeniths without utter nadirs? If you have that philosophy, you might as well skip every review scored 100% as well...

And it's easy to see how someone could give demanufacture a 0, it's made out of lots of shitty mainstream elements, I like the title track and Pisschrist, without them it'd be down there.

There may be utter nadirs... but certainly, "Master of Puppets", "Soundtrack to your Escape", "Demanufacture" or "The Sound of Perseverance" arent to be considered as such. So a quick glance at the score will suffice for those...

any review that boasts a 0% score above it is a review I'll skip without even bothering to read a single word,

I actually make a point of reading 0% reviews. Why, you ask? Because! Evidence for why this is a good idea.

I certainly see why YOU would consider it to be such... as I said, those 0 percenters tell me more about the reviewer than the music.

:lol: Oh well. And Germans are supposedly known for being reasonable.

I'm surprised anyone considered STYE as not being at the bottom of the barrel, I'm a huge In Flames fan and have been since long before that album, but I think it's garbage. Maybe not 0, but 30-40 would be generous. Their last one earned the 0%, and the idea of making a vocal-driven album when your singer is Anders Friden couldn't have turned out well.

Peroy: Do you think that Rancid Entity's "best of" or Straight Line Stitch's first EP deserve above 0%? There's some really terrible music out there.

I like to throw this one in:

How do you deal with this? Merely from the point of view of the music or also from another perspective?

those 0 percenters tell me more about the reviewer than the music

Nothing they ever did earns a 0%... they'd have to play their instruments with their feet for that to be true.

We review the quality of the music, not the ability of the players. Just stop yourself now before it's too late.

... and STYE is a total 0%. I would know.
