More than having a toxic fanbase, Ronnie Radke just comes across as a toxic person in general, and he's been like this for years too. I remember years ago he booted a bunch of people out of a show for wearing t shirts of a band he either had beef with or had just kicked off the tour. The man is a textbook example of stunted growth.

Progressive Imagine Dragons is honestly the most accurate description for Sleep Token. When checking out their discography, I honestly thought that they sounded like what would happen if Imagine Dragons became a Djent band. It’s refreshing though to see level-headed Sleep Token fans in this comment section because your Take Me Back to Eden review has lots of Sleep Token fans posting cringy insults.

[@wheelsofmercury]

As a Sleep Token fan... they're more like djent Lewis Capaldi meets a band called Issues (who they actually opened up for back when I saw them in 2019). I don't hear Imagine Dragons at all; I'm very puzzled by everyone saying this.

[@mindful2864]

The thing with Godsmack's fanbase is that the vast majority of people apart of it pretty much unanimously agree that those first three albums is where they peaked in quality, So you're not going to get much pushback for criticizing the rest of their discography. (Though I like every album to a certain extent) They are also not nearly as prominent online in comparison to bands like Slipknot and Linkin Park. I've run into a few die-hards on occasion but they're very few and far between. I'd even argue that Puddle Of Mudd has a more die-hard fanbase online than Godsmack do, As weird as that sounds lol

As a longtime Babymetal fan, I can say we used to be worse when they started to make waves internationally, because we were constantly trying to defend them from hate and eventually became over-sensitive and reactionary to any form of criticism. The fanbase also includes idol fans, so you also get the kind of obsessive fans you’d expect for a K-pop boyband or something like that, who can be pretty obnoxious and sometimes borderline creepy.

[@ManekiNeko1972]

you also had the endless array of pedophile comments because you didn't think they were the spawn of Satan. I must have heard that 200 times when all I said was that metal NEEDS Babymetal.

[@EncoreASMR]

Sleep Token are basically a boy band who can write progressive rock and metal music. They refuse to reveal their identity to give themselves a sense of mystique, but we know they are record producers. On top of it, it sounds like they're ripping off Breaking Benjamin, Meshuggah, BMTH, Architects, Death, Opeth, Slipknot, Korn and slapping RnB lullabies over it. And people treat them as something special, when I'd happily prefer to see an underground act, who may be poor at their instruments, but provide 100x more entertainment and enjoyment. Heck, give me Alestrom or Sabaton.

I'm a Metallica stan but the new album is pretty much a B. There's great riffs and basswork and even some decent drumwork but outside of the solo on There's No Light i felt Kirk phoned it in. Then there's a handful of songs they could have removed like Sleepwalk, Burn, Darkness, Crown etc and trim Inamorta down by like 4 minutes, and a handful of the other songs by like 30 seconds to a minute and it would have actually been a solid album. But that's been Metallica's biggest problem since ReLoad: they don't cut enough of the fat off their songs. 72 could've been very good with just some editing. But that's my 2.

[@doomguyrox1156]

Thought I was the only other person who thought that same issue too. Feel like Metallica has/had the capability to make some more banger records if they just cut some of the bloat from their albums. Really is unfortunate when you think about it since they clearly had talent, but unfortunately got too lazy to edit imo.

[@cctkid86]

@@doomguyrox1156 Part of it is the producer's job. To tell the band "hey this needs to be trimmed" or "this solo sucks" or w.e needs to be said. But either: A) they hired producers that won't speak up cuz it's Metallica (Rick Rubin produced DM so I doubt he would have issue but he still let some tracks linger too long) or B) they just don't care what the producers have to say. I personally think it's a little of both, since I know Lars is most involved with the editing process and we know how he is. Either way, we know when songs are tight they are great. Hardwired had numerous bangers on it. 72 needed trimming and honest feedback.

Church burnings, blatant neo-nazi idealogies, not to mention LITERAL MURDER. When I was first getting into black metal, I was terrified to get deeper into the scene because of the reputation it has because of people like Varg. I think that Burzum is influential. Influential in the way that Varg influenced the public perception of black metal. Because of that, I truly hate Varg for ruining black metal for so many people.
