Metal Injection pretty much does 7.5-8.5 for all albums. Whether it's to keep getting interviews who knows, it probably has something to do with it. It takes a lot for those sites to be at the top of searches (even when they are shit), and if the efforts could be undone by one average review it's understandably why they wont let it happen. But M-A and other sites that don't do interviews and freebies, where the users are the ones rating things, I think jsut thrive on negativity.

Under The Gun - Dezperadoz

Mortal Sin - Face Of Despair

Sadly I'm not surprised by the reviews anywhere, not just on M-A. However just one look at the threads on M-A are evidence that haters get more and more vocal these days. Be it a thread about the new Megadeth album, the new Blind Guardian album, a Pantera tribute tour, it doesn't matter, the results are pretty much always the same. The thread quickly gets populated with people who hate the subject matter. It's not just people who jump in with 'yeah listened to the new song and it's not for me', it's people with comments like ' haven't listened to anything the band has done for 20 years and wont listen to this because it's shit'. Telling people you don't like something is fine, we all do it from time to time, but to seek out a discussion just to tell people how shit you think the subject matter, and do it every time there is a new response to the thread seems like a pastime of 90% of M-A users.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Man, that really shits me. I was looking for some paperwork yesterday and the whole time it was hiding in plain sight. I'd used it to write notes on while I was on the phone a few weeks back and just left it near the phone. Took me ages to find it, then when I did it really didn't help me with what I was doing anyway!

My wife told me something similar but her comments were more along the lines of helping things along. Things have changed though, when we first met she claimed it wasn't enough to warrant taking care of things.

Bloody hell! I just spent the last 3 hours trying to change the details on my life insurance plan. The plan was set up so long ago it was done on paper (maybe even stone and chisel) and I've just spent the last 45 odd years paying it when it's due. About 15 years ago it was set up as direct debit and apart from a yearly statement that's the only communication I have with the insurance company. Now after all this time I want to change banks where the money comes from and while the staff at the company can see the account, can see the payments and can see the statements they can't access it and can't set me up with online access too it. The online world would be so much better if it worked

I did feel sorry for the private school kids, we only had 2 private secondary schools in the area and 3 primary and seeing those kids marched out in grey pants, dress shoes, shirts jumpers and blazers really made me happy my parents didn't value the higher cost of private education. My grand mother once told me that her and my grand father wanted to send their grand kids to private schools but once there was more than 4 grand kids they decided they couldn't afford it. I was so thankful for that, shallow because about 80% of the reason for not wanting to go private was the uniform but thankful just the same.

There is kid stupid and totally stupid though. Most of the hills we choose to die on as kids are little more than ant hills as adults. I only had to wear a jumper and a shirt for a uniform, even wearing jackets with patches wasn't a problem if the school jumper or shirt was underneath, but I just hated the idea that I was told what to wear. Then I got out of school and realised pretty much every job had some kind of uniform. Be it, hard hats and work boots, a shirt with a logo on in, even pants with a logo on them. Then in later years it was the day-glo shirt, which ironically makes a person almost invisible these days. Looking the same as the kids around you serves a good purpose, but kid brain can't always see such logic.

For me at school it wasn't about looking the same, I hated the idea that I was told what to wear. I took every chance I could not to wear the uniform. Then when I left school I realised the whole world has a uniform of sorts and that being a kid upset by what I was told to wear was pretty fucking stupid.
