in Album Review: Death Magnetic on Consequence of Sound
Oh and why does everyone think Kill 'Em All should be included in their best albums? There were 2 good songs, the rest were skip-worthy, boring, and bland. Just a bunch of really fast, substance-lacking riffs, really. RTL was when they finally "got it."

in Album Review: Death Magnetic on Consequence of Sound
My hobby in the last 4 hours has been looking at all the DM reviews I could possibly find. Some of the things the reviews note tend to baffle me. People either love or hate the Unforgiven III. I personally love it. And I hated it the first time I heard it. The solo sucked, it didn't sound like the return to The Unforgiven that I was expecting, and I didn't think the intro meshed well with the bulk of the song. Then I listened again. Started to like it, like it more, then love it. It's just a fantastic song, and the lyrics have that sort of old-time sailing, or pirate-type theme which I think is a brilliant metaphorical background for the lyrics. And now everything seems to mesh. And the solo makes more sense to me now, as I can hear the subtleties in it better now. Although it doesn't sound at all similar to The Unforgiven, it follows the same philosophy - great job of building up, tearing down, then again building to a powerful climax. And it does so with ease - I've heard it now at least 20 times and still tend to get chills as the song builds to solo.

I don't see what the issue is with it being "sandwiched" between two other songs. This is not a rock opera - it is not an album intended to flow from one song to the next in a continuous manner. Each song could have been placed anywhere on the album, with the exception of the instrumental and opening song.

Oh and this is about the 4th review I've seen comparing that "The End of the Line" riff to "Animal" from Pearl Jam. Really not all that similar if you ask me. I think one guy said it, then every other review caught on after that... too uncanny.

Stopping by to show some love to a fellow music lover. I admire and am inspired by lovers of music...especially those willing to step outside the mainstream and remain true to themselves.

in This Primary Campaign Has Brought Out The Best And Worst In Me on Jack and Jill Politics
The thing that bothers me is that I don't know how to reach the reasonable Hillary supporters without having to first weed out the unreasonable ones who would rather see McCain elected than Obama, or who would rather attack Obama for any and all perceived slights than to attack McCain for any of his overt inanities. For months now those who are past the point of unification have comingled with those earnestly supporting someone they thought was a better candidate, and differentiating the two now is nearly impossible.


I'll gladly try and convince anyone I think can be convinced to support our nominee, but I don't see the point in wasting time and effort on those "Democrats" who would rather see a Republican president than a black one.

in Firstline Security Cost Comparison on odd time signatures
Hi there,

Had two college kids come by last week offering to sell their new Simon XT alarm system. I thought it was a good deal since I was told the alarm package would be free in exchange for the placement of the yard sign. The technician guy showed up minutes after signing the contract and it wasn't untill he had left that I came across this site.. The package total for the new Simon XT system came to $1595.00 and the monthly monitoring is $44.95 a month. I called the next day and had the technician guy remove the system. We then received a call from one of the college kids and he wanted to give us a month free and he also said sorry for the big hole in the wall left by the Technician and that the company does not cover holes in walls. We finally agreed to 2 free months.. the college kids came by the next day and had us sign a new contract because the Technician guy took the contract home.. dnt know why but the new contract had a total of $1685.00 for the alarm system..?? and also I just found out that they charged my card, $44.95 already!!

in The Evaluative Worthlessness of Happiness on Will Wilkinson
Will writes: "I do think this pushes me to a more Scanlonian view according to which our reasons for action are not even close to exhausted by considerations of "well-being." If being more free, more healthy, and so forth do not cash out in terms of happiness, then so much the worse for cashing out value in terms of happiness."

I agree that the impact of this research, if it's true, is huge. The good thing about happiness is that it seems like happiness-facts can ultimately ground claims about what is right, wrong, virtuous, vicious, etc. But if we have reasons to do things that do not get grounded in facts about happiness - especially if we say we have reasons to be more free, more healthy, etc. - the most unifying explanation of these reasons will probably be some kind of group-subjectivism, e.g., "That's just the way WE feel, after thinking about it. We LIKE freedom, we reflectively endorse it." Isn't this gross? Doesn't it turn all of ethics into a gooey war of rhetoric, just like Dick Rorty says? How else could we account for our attempts to convince outback bushmen and government-worshipping Germans to try out our ways?

in Dawn of the Dead Remake on The Daily Haggis
How can you guys say that this movie is going to be a bad zombie flick. I gaurentee this movie is going to be awsome. I liked the original dawn of the dead flick and it was sweet,it doesnt really matter if the zombies walk or run. As long as theres blood and guts. Now thats what makes a horror movie.
