@Radu: You have my full support if you would drop that Hässlig review in the comment section for the Wall Street Journal

That sounds like mentioning Warning in a Pallbearer review.

Instead we should go to politics webzines to talk about music

Oh and OK, let's not rile up old embers. Here, on a lighter note... [link]

It's not about coming to a music site to talk politics over the music, at least not for me. It's about discussing politics IN ADDITION to the music. There's room for both

In fairness, I wouldn't trust anyone who comes to a music webzine to talk about politics instead of the actual music, even for as politically-inclined as metal is.

Like they were all assholes, sure, but they also kept the conversation slanted in a direction that helped expose where peoples' true values and convictions are at. There's some worth in that, I think
