They then flipped off the crowd and threw a ton of flyers for Atomizer over us. I see now that Konrad was probably just trying to be diplomatic when he said "out with the old, in with the new", but if he had just said "JR wrote it and he's being a dick about it", I'd've probably understood a bit more. Regardless, it's a shame that the song seems to no longer be a part of their set and seemingly won't be in the future either, because apart from the last recording of "At the Mountains of Madness", it's pretty handily my favorite song of theirs.Bastardheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653810815019959177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141184874069158818.post-11055493786399132252012-02-09T15:59:41.388-06:002012-02-09T15:59:41.388-06:00I realize that this is a few months late, but I ju...I realize that this is a few months late, but I just came across your review on metal-archives and I just had to reach out to you some how. I too have been a fan from the very beginning. I remember seeing them at a small shitty venue when they were 14, looking at Jon and thinking "Pft, he's just trying to be Dan Lilker." The first song shut me up.<br /><br />I can't agree more with your review. Everything I've felt about the album is right there. It really saddens me to think that a band I loved so much has gone so far down.<br /><br />The reason I really wanted to reach out to you though is because of your comments on Criminal Justice. It seemed like you haven't heard about their issues with that song. Their old guitarist apparently wrote it and was really peaved that they were still using. So much so that he stormed the stage at a show while they were playing it. I've even seen the old guitarist's band play and he has a little Dave Mustaine-esque speech before Criminal Justice. There is definitely more to the story, but I speculate that this is the main reason for that song being left off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
