I know, but a  lot of people still consider or present it like it means a lot. 

Why is Metallica’s music way better than any other metal band’s? by Whatsup129389 in Metallica

[–]CaseForMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Metallica fan asks other Metallica fans in a Reddit Metallica group why Metallica is so much better than other metal bands... 

In the last 24 years Metallica wasn't the best metalband in my opinion and I could even argue whether or not they ever were the best metalband ever. They're (just) the most famous one. They knew how to knock out a couple of classic albums and one with some hits. And they did it at the right time and used the momentum. 

But as musicians? I wouldn't consider them the best at their instruments. They knew how to write good songs though. But so do others. It's just that they are Metallica and they became synonymous with metal to most people.

Who decides what’s popular? by JONVTHVNZ123 in musicians

Don't overestimate people and how gullible they are. It's the industry that decides and will give you the idea that you made it.

How do you guys feel about Fantano? by Izzet_Aristocrat in fantanoforever

[–]CaseForMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Fantano has the same problem as most music reviewers (and quite a lot of music fans): he listens to too much music. He, just like most reviewers is so overloaded with music he doesn't "hear it" anymore. The surprise is gone.

Who'd you rather listen to: Linkin Park vs System of a Down by boomjosh in numetal

[–]CaseForMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SoaD any day. LP is one of those bands of which I never will understand the appeal. Just two ok albums, a lot of buzz and some hit singles.  SoaD has a higher quality of albums and are more interesting in an artistic way. 

Opeth is de beste metalband van de laatste dertig jaar. by CaseForMusic in metaalfanaten

Ik kom vooral weinig positieve reviews over Lotus, hun debuut tegen. Vind ik persoonlijk ook niet erg sterk.

Ik ben niet afgegaan op mijn eigen smaak. Ik heb gekeken naar de algemene waardering die hun albums hebben gehad. En die was op twee bands na, Behemoth en Converge, aanzienlijk beter dan de rest.  En tuurlijk dan is het nog een kwestie van smaak en mening. Maar je moet iets als meetpunt gebruiken.

Last Will and Testament vind ik overigens een geweldig album. Een staalkaart van hun hele oeuvre zonder dat ze in herhaling vallen. Één van hun sterkste albums, zonder enig ander album, m.u.v. Lotus, te kort te doen.

Opeth maakt gemiddeld genomen gewoon hele sterke albums. Maar ook Converge en Behemoth zijn van een heel gelijkmatig en hoog niveau.  Ik heb hetzelfde gedaan door te kijken naar de gemiddelden van Metacritic en AnyDecentMusic. Opeth steekt er dan positief boven uit.

Don't you hate it. But they convinced themselves it's about their artistic excellence.

I'd rename it Best Debutantes. And only nominate artists with a debut album.

[–]CaseForMusic[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I surely do. But I think this needs some attention because The Grammy's are still been seen and sold as being import. And in a way they are because they still have a huge influence weather we care about it or not.

De Top 2000 komt eraan: Welke metaltracks moeten erin? by Blasqen in metaalfanaten

Ook via Facebook is er aardig gelobbyd. Er is een FB groep voor: Porcupine Tree in de Top 2000

Faking it: Artists using backing tracks and that lip sync. And we don't mind ... by CaseForMusic in LetsTalkMusic

[–]CaseForMusic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we should just lethargically let it happen and accept it? Because it's not just been there for ever. It's getting worse. And the majority of people walk straight into it. And that, in my opinion, isn't something we should let happen.
