I believe in judging music with as few preconceptions as possible based on concrete criteria: songwriting, musicianship, originality, etc. Allowing preconceived notions of genre and style to overly color an opinion seems fruitless and irrelevant to me.


If you read the review, it says the record is shit regardless of genre.

I wouldn't vote for Barack Obama if he was white, either.

Categorical thinking can fool both ways -- by denying the relevance of artistic movement (sorry, "genre") or by overly affirming it. I agree many people make too big a deal of it, esp. brutal dm and tr00 kvlt blvk m3tal kidz.
