Even though I enjoy this release (diet immortal is better then no immortal) I think all these points are very valid

Uh....NO! 5.5? Hell no. By the way You rated Babymetal with 9.0 and the legendary lord of the black metal Abbath with 5.5? Have you heard the album?
I rated Metal Resistance a 9.0 because I love that album and Abbath a 5.5 because I don't love that album. I respect Abbath for his work with Immortal, which I think is generally of a high quality, but I listened to this album to hear these eight songs, not Abbath's past, not his reputation, not his back catalogue. If you rated this album based on Abbath's legacy and not the actual quality of the album, my distaste for which I think I've explained pretty reasonably, then I assert that I'm not the one who needs to listen to Abbath again.
I'll also point out that the only thing you can deduce by comparing my various album scores is that I like some bands more than others. My opinion of Babymetal has nothing to do with my ability to discuss the pros and cons of a black metal album.

You called him 'self-parodic'? How much parody are there in Babymetal?
Babymetal isn't strictly a parody; its music is certainly predicated on humorous self-awareness, but the project is more experiment than parody. Precedent exists, as do signs of evolution. We're not here, however, to discuss the merits of an entirely different band. I referred to one moment on Abbath as self-parodic because it feels out-of-place and undercuts the mood that the album tries to establish elsewhere, utilizing a tactic common to black metal bands. Those keyboards sound ridiculous to me and I cannot take them seriously.

There's a difference between intentional parody and unintentional parody. Babymetal is the former, Abbath the latter.
Babymetal's situation, they are taking the piss out on themselves and having fun with it. The parody doesn't feel out-of-place as a result. Similar to how Gloryhammer is good because of how well they embrace the parody.
Abbath's situation, he's trying to be serious and live up to his old days but comes off as a parody. To give a parallel, have a metalcore band, Capture The Crown. They're pretty serious but everything about it builds up to the band being so ridiculously over-the-top when it shouldn't. They come off as a parody of the entire Asking Alexandria style when that's not their intention. Same concept with Abbath.

Did you not read the review? I used the word "batrachoid." That automatically makes it a good review.

I agree the production is odd and not very good. I also agree that the songwriting is not his best. It is however, considerably better than the latest Immortal album for the aggression alone. It is most definitely not a 5.5 album.
Sidenote: Abbath is Immortal, despite what some say. He wrote 99% of the material in the last 15 years, except lyrics (who cares about lyrics in extreme metal anyway). It may not have been the case had Demonaz not hurt himself...but he did. We will see on the "Immortal" album that they are working on.

I can see where you're coming from and respect your points, but for some reason I find this album extremely enjoyable and catchy. I have been listening to this as well as vektor's new album constantly in 2016. The only track that I cannot stand and think it's a joke is the bonus cover of judas priest's riding on the wind. I strongly think that 5.5 is way too low, but taste is subjective after all..

and you rated half of the top albums of 2016 1/10 even though you didn't listen to them to get them out of the top 20. You're no better, kiddo.
