Why does music suck so much right now?

[Peregrin Toker]

Metallica gets a fair amount of airplay now thanks to their new album. I can't say I'm particularly enthusiastic about that album, though...

I've never actually heard "St. Anger", (as I don't listen to much thrash except for Sodom) but one reviewer called it "Metallica's midlife crisis"...

I'd join the metalhead usergroup, not many metalheads around me and I know very few metal bands, and no people to tell me new ones :-\

Okay, of potential members for the metalhead usergroup we now have:

Simon H.Johansen

Once in a while gems like Manowar and Metallica and Iced Earth make there way out of the woodwork, but when you consider the relatively small size of all the European countires, the band-to-population ratio is staggering. Considering that America has a population second only to India and China, the amount of utter shit that the country thrives upon is sickening.

I think the lack of good metal from the USA might have something to do with the genre's "satanic" image, which it owes to Black Sabbath, Venom and Mercyful Fate.

The first time I heard it, I mistook it for Linkin Park.

That should probably tell you enough.

Tsk, as if i was left out of the metalhead usergroup. Pfah.

It's funny how bands that giving inspiration to new bands end up sounding like ther inspired bands. Limp Bizkit are blatant Cypress Hill clones then Cypress Hill's last album ended up sounding exactly like Limp Bizkit. The same with Metallica. It's a shame.

Add me to the Planet Mosh Forum if it happens.
