Why Reviews Matter

- If music taste is subjective, then why do the opinions of others matter? This video explores the good things to come from reading reviews and critiques of music.
In fact, this video partially comes from my answer to people asking why I've reviewed old albums, or why I should even bother doing reviews since everyone likes different things.

SPREAD THE METAL LIKE A PLAGUE!
These kind of Killbot videos are my favorites. They’re very informative and well researched and can give you a new perspective on the subject he’s talking about.
Why thank you!
For real i love these videos, so well articulated and a cool perspective on things.
I've found multiple band's simply because they had interesting reviews, hell i got into Mr. Bungle because someone described one of their albums as sounding like "being beaten to death by an army of clowns who are bombing you with pies while your in a burning restaurant" and i had to know what the fuck that meant
That’s hilarious
😂
I’m so happy you reviewed this topic. Even if the reviews were trash talking these bands, people got into bands due to that. Like what you said about throbbing gristle, obscure band that got attention by reviews. Keep up the great work and Rock On!
Anal Cunt got reviewed in a newspaper in the late 80s. The reviewer TRASHED them for several paragraphs. The band were like, “wow, they had a lot to say about us!” Haha
Frick yeah, new Killbot video🤘
Damn straight
Personally, I like to listen to the album with an open mind instead of reading reviews before listening. But I can definitely see you’re going with you’re point though and how important reviews can be
That's great if the album is either VERY popular or semi-popular. If I never heard of a group before, I would like to know more about the group and album.
Good thoughts
Same. I prefer to make up my own mind. With songs going up on UA-cam, I have less chance of ending up with a cd I personally dislike. The downside is, my wishlist is starting to get out of hand. 😅
@@bezoticallyyours83 oh my wishlist got insane!
2:18 Hey men! What a great band is Left Hand Solution and their first album. That song is magestic. Good compilation, fascinating to see Sleep and DCD out there. Greetings.
I enjoy looking at reviews, this puts me in someone's else shoes and see why or why not an album strikes as a great/best/bad/worst in their opinion. I think maybe I'll do some albuns reviews somedayz and then even my opinion can influence someone else.
Exactly
The thing I love about your videos is that there’s no filler bullshit to make it to the 10 minute mark, you say what needs to be said and end it, bad for the algorithm, terrific for enjoyability, grind on🤘🏻
Now you only need 8 minutes to get more ads. So all I needed was another minute, but I’m a firm believer in brevity! Haha! Thank you for watching
Awesome video- great work Killbot! 🤘🏼
Why thank you
I like this review about reviews.
I find reviews useful for some things, although that's more to do with stuff that may have wide-spread issues with shoddy material, or a game with bad controls, bugs/glitches.
Exactly
This is honestly super interesting!! And I totally agree lol🔥🤘🏻
Thank you for watching, Ella! :)
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack Of course!!
Another brilliant video my friend, Hails!
Why thank you
I approve of the Crypta magazine on the front!🤘🏻Great Video too!
Crypta rules!! Seeing them in February
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack Nice! I might be seeing them then too if I everything works out!
Hey!
I'm sorry to ask you this, but have you heard about Les Rallizes Dénudés' "77 live"?
Groundbreaking japanese psychedelic noise rock album! i bet you'll like it
And about the video, you are right, I know this sounds weird but i find old music as interesting as newer stuff, both have their own respect...
(Sorry for the bad english, i am not from any english speaking country)
I’ll look into it!
Great video, Killbot! It would be a sad day when nobody heard of Pink Floyd, Rush or Kiss! Im 24 and grew up with all of those bands. I had cool parents......lol.
Exactly. Gotta love all three
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack ya gotta! They were apart of my gateway into more harder and weirder bands.
The legend is back
Yes
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack damn right
Great vid and have a happy 🦃 day, or at least a really great day. ✌
Why thank you! It will be
I am having a problem and your video came right on time. So please tell me if you can
How many times do you listen to an album before deciding whether you like it or not?
I have been going through Broken Hope albums these couple of days. I listened to Swamped in Gore a few times and I really liked it. It took me one time though to like The Bowels of Repugnance.
Then I listened to Repulsive Conception twice and didn't like it. I am asking because Metal music is different from other genres. Sometimes an album is bad the first time or it doesn't click right away. And it gets better with every listen,and sometimes albums are good the first time and you get bored with them.
Technical death metal Is the main reason why I am asking this. A story that happened to me is that.I listened a couple of times to Passages Of Deformity and Winds Of Creation and was like yeah they are not good. And then I decided to give them a couple of listens and now I can't stop listening to them. They are great and amazing.they are so technical that they don't click right away. So I guess the right time is about 5 times. But again an album might be just not good. And it won't get better with each listen.because it's poorly written. So what should I do? I don't wanna waste my time. If it's just bad. As I've said I didn't like Repulsive Conception after 2 listens. And I don't think I am gonna like it. ...... But again that kinda counters my idea of listening to an album 5 times before really deciding if I like it or not.
Also I think that it differs with each subgenre.
For example a complex written album like in Tech Death takes more listens. While a death metal might take few than 5 listens.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
Depends on the album. There are albums I didn’t like at first then grew to like as time went on (Nine Inch Nails “Year Zero”). Others, like Lords of Acid “Deep Chills” I think get worse the more I listen to them. Hard to say, really. All depends on if you’re willing to give things another shot. Sometimes you gotta come clean, and it’s a feeling like a switch in your brain.
cool stuff
Thank you!
My mom hates it when i listen to throbbing gristle because she thinks it not music. She says it's just noise.
She’s not wrong! Haha
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack well yeah ur right but I like some of their stuff
You should make a documentary
About?
@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack really anything because honestly your videos are very interesting. I mean you can make it documentary about really anything about your favorite band or something every time I watch your videos they’re like super interesting.
Yerrrr
Aw yeah
Tbh Lil Peeps come over when you're sober review by fantano is 100% justified. It's so awful and laughable I can't believe that I listened to that at the age of like 11-13 years old
first
Not quite
Reviewing music is gay
Seth agrees
they don't matter. grow up.
Crypta 🤣 what a joke
What’s wrong with Crypta?
You have to be the most milquetoast, boring metal takes ever...
@@DawnRazor-bx3mj mine's better.
