Metal CD packaging now quotes metal archives??[views:5764][posts:28]_____________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 12:53pm - arilliusbm ""] My friend sent me a picture of Kvist's release being in a newbury comics. I think it has been rereleased now, but I noticed there was a quote from a metal archives review on the packaging. What the fuck is that shit? Does that really dictate how good an album is? Who the fuck thinks a 17 year old's opinion on a metal album is worth sticking on an album packge? Who the fuck think it's justified enough to throw it on the album when there's more qualified writers/critics out there? Am I the only one that cares about this and thinks it's retarded khed? Does this thread have too many questions? |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 1:05pm - dreadkill ""] hahahahahahaha, that's goofy |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 1:06pm - Sacreligion ""] I totally misread this at first and thought you meant there was a sticker on the case saying "Metal-archives approves this album art" or something. While not quite as stupid as that, the actual circumstance is still pretty stupid. |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 1:15pm - blessed offal ""] yes, thats stupid. but no, i dont care. like the sac says, metal is stupid. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 1:22pm - reimroc ""] I really don't care what other people consider metal or good metal. If I like it, I like it and if it fits into the genre that is metal I will call it that. Everyone on the metal archives guaranteed is a hipster IRL. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 1:24pm - arilliusbm ""] True. I read most reviews to get a laugh or a general observance of what to expect. There's been plenty of negtive reviews I've disagreed with. That being said, I still think this notion is a slap in the face to music writers, and people like Conservationist and anus.com. And with Kvist, it's a kvlt album so you know the best place to quote is metal archives. I'm assuming the decision was made by the label that rereleased it? Angry hate mail time. |

Does this thread have too many questions? i hope metal archives' opinions don't matter , our first cd had 0 % rating for awhile . we have since managed to pull it up to 60 % , yeah that a D . still passing . |

| _________________________________ [Jan 20,2010 8:14pm - reimroc ""] Well metal obviously means metal. Archives, I would believe he is using the term to mean something large, or extravagant in size. So it appears he was just talking out of his his giant metal asshole. |
