'Guilty of Being White' has some of the stupidest lyrics and employs the same 'hey other white people fucked up not me' mentality that shows white ignorance by displacing and externalizing racism always on someone/somewhere else. It also represents the type of self-defensiveness people whip out when they think they're being personally attacked, instead of recognizing white supremacy as a system of thought + behavior pattern and an institutional reality which can - and does - reside in people regardless of race, even though it's quite clearly endorsed and perpetuated primarily by those who benefit from it the most. Anyways, that definitely isn't the same as waging verbal war against every white person without taking into account who they are individually.
It's just lame and uses a singular instance of prejudice against white people to say, uhm, what exactly? Suggest minorities are hypocrites and bitch too much about oppression since they take part in it too? That white people aren't as bad as they seem? I mean I know Ian MacKaye was talking about his personal experience as a 'white minority' and getting beat up for his skin color and that totally sucks and shouldn't happen to anyone but the song just comes across as subtly racist and doesn't offer a wider perspective on how, I don't know, white oppression can't be equated with minority oppression since the weight of power and centuries of violence and subjugation easily falls on the white side by miles and miles. It's especially disappointing when you consider all the other ways Minor Threat was so lyrically on point.
Barring that, every other song here is fantastic and 'In My Eyes' remains one of my favorite punk songs and has some of the best lyrics.
This exposition on race was brought to you by a half-white 'male.' illusionsofgranger out.
EDIT: the fact none of these reviews address how problematic 'Guilty of Being White' is speaks volumes about this site holy god.

I remember literally writhing on the floor and crying about some skinny girl I knew, on the first time that Children of God passed through my being. Not my proudest moment, especially since those were in teenspittin' days...
I cursed this album when I first heard it, probably partially out of the aforementioned circumstance that made me hate everything around me that moved or grazed me even slightly (fuck you you fucking carpet oh my god why are you a carpet you fucking c-), but also because I wasn't really prepared to digest Swans on a whim. I doubt many are, especially when I somehow convinced myself that their name implied that they focused on prettiness and affability. The former is somewhat true, but we'll get to that. Swans is more macabre than sixteen mimes passing around an ox's severed neck, all taking deep guzzles from it and grinning a crimson stare at any who they catch spectating. The terrors that a seven-year old fixates about his church, during sermons of eternal damnation and revelations and admittances that demons actually exist (I can't believe my mother affirmed that to me when I was a kid), is wholly present on Children of God, a thumping terror overtaking my sensibilities at times as I traverse through the dim morning on campus while trying to keep my composure. Dear god, why did I think that experiencing Swans in front of people would ever be a good idea?

whats the best a song from wild flower in your own opinion?
Used to think Taylor Swift was a great selfless role model but now that I think about it she's just as vapid, narcissistic and self-centered as the rest of them.
Who's with me?
I used to think, no wait, I never thought about Taylor Swift.
I used to think me and Taylor still might have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous
all for u

Are you friends with people who listen to Type 0 unironically?

>this thread again
>>66394909
The fuck with all these tiers and genres ive never heard of. TIL im type I
>>66394909
Considering pretty much everyone has heard film music and singer/songwriter, yes.
I mean "singer/songwriter" covers a wide variety of genres. The tiers dont actually mean anything, hampus himself has no reasoning for them.
Were the Beatles talented?
>>66394820
yes
>>66394820
Yes, especially as pop songwriters. They were pretty good singing and playing too, but their songs shinewriting ability is what I'd remember them for
>>66394820
yes they were, but personally find their stuff mediocre, with an exception here and there (THEY DISCOVERED THE COUNTRY OF INDIA BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AMIRITE) but on the whole if someone told me we were going to listen to beatles music in the car ride for the next two hours i would be really fucking upset about that
>just burned bridge with my only friend because I've been in a shitty mood ever since my gf left

McCafferty - BeachBoy
Townes Van Zandt
Does this count? Beartooth - Disgusting
It's probably the worst case of Dave Mustaine's penis-envy towards Metallica in his entire career. I'd take 'So Far, So Good... So What?' over this overhyped, overindulged turd.
>>66394536
I tried listening to this album today.
I was enjoying it up until halfway through the second track, then I got bored due to the 50 guitar solos.
I'm not a thrash fan though.
Every year I get more annoyed by the people who say this is metal perfection. However, it's still a great album.
I also like to place My Creation before the closing track, it's a really epic buildup.
>>66394558
This is "technical thrash," most thrash doesn't indulge so much in the guitar solos. U might like Sepultura instead
