Oh, fuck you. Fuck you for that bit right there, you shithead. You can make fun of me because Lysander is blind LOL!! all you want but for you, the only person on this BBS who's heard me sing, to come on here and say that I am not musically inclined, y'know what just don't. Okay? Don't.

Ah, see, so what you're talking about is one 5-second part of one song lining up with a different five-second part of another song, and then didnt' bother to tell me which ones they were. Also, they're a wole note apart, so forgive me for not immediately entering your brain with my many and varried *mind powers* and figuring out what part you meant that way. That said, I submit this point now that you've clarified oyur position. But all that means is that I add it to my list of repeat chord progressions.

Yeah, and Daqrren sounds terrible in it. Of course, Serj doens't, but Serj is an actually good singer. Darren sounds liek he's sucking down SonyBMG's corporate cock while singing the song, which is funny becasue it's exactly what he's doing now. Hense, my point, which is that Darren does not know how to "bring it down." Shit, for all we konw that might have been one of the (what, three?) songs Serj wrote. Or, y'know, Shavo or John. Hey, remember them? Those guys that are in that rock and roll band?

I dont' have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is you saying "this song sucks," and then when asked to expliin exactly why it sucks, you say "Well, I just dont' like power balads. And that grammatical error just got on my nerves." I dont' like Jemee Hendrics, but I dont' go around saying he sucks. Although maybe I should. If you dont' liek a song, say "I did not like this song." The problem is with you, not hte song. The sooner you admit this, the sooner we can all understand the meaning of life (TM).

I would counter that if you think that screaming "Ass!" over and over into a microphone is actually funny, then you do not understand how humor works. Which would be quite a shame, really. ON the other hand, I find the image of someone doing that with a serious frown on his face to be quite amusing in and of itself, so win some lose some.

That's not Metallica-y at all. That's more like Green Day-y.

Ah, now, this is embarrassing, because I actually have nothing remotely funny to say about this because it's right. So instead I will distract you.
Ass. ASS. Ass! ASS!

Jesus. That's what you've lowered to, now? Calling someone a "buttmunch" over an internet message board because he dared to criticize your making judgements of an entire upcoming album based on a third of one song? The fuck's next, man, are you gonna start telling me I have "fuzzy math"? What happened to the x-reader of Lysander's distilled escence of shit, man? I want that Ben back. Maybe the Zolloft is robbing you of your ability to think up creative insults, in which case, fuck the zolloft, if you can possibly get depressed living where you are now without drugs you don't need drugs, you need a .38-calibur bullet to let someone who actually possesses the capacity to appreciate the good things in life to appreciate your newly-vacated apartment.

Hurrah for missing the point. You're assumming that the other two thirds of that song--and, by extention, the rest of the album--is like that first minute that you could do about, and it's all because you're too lazy to actually, gasp, sit at a computer for two more fucking minutes out of oyur oh-so precious important existence and listen to the rest of hte fucking song. Did I roll over in bed and *miss* the part where it became passe to judge only the music you've heard and not what you haven't? Come on, Ben. You're better than this. When did you turn into MTV?

That's okay, some of us are not "musically inclined."
Bahaha! Zing! Oooh man, I got chu theyah!
Okay, actually try, you know, like, listening to the music you play, I know it's this incredibly difficult nad strange concept for peopel to grasp in this day and all, but stick with it here, ya might learn somethin' new. The best example of this is when it gets all quiet and then he yells 'ATTAAAAAACK!" You'll hear his microphone "clip"--IE buzz a little bit, becasue he's too close to it. I mean, its' the kind of thing that they really should have caught before the CD started printing.

Fucking snooty bitch, I knew that bit already, it's how that relates to anything else in the song I get confused at. I mean, great' "he said pussy and it didn't get censored, tee hee hee heehehehe," great. But maybe I'm old fashioned here, I just think that it woudl be a great change of pace if being clever like that was actually used for something, rather than just showing off how gods-damned clever they are.
