Carcass (to pick an arbitrary example) may have written songs about serial killers, but their aesthetic and their perspective is going to be very different from someone with a different background/influences. I don't think using it for different reasons invalidates Carcass, but it does admit that the album is conceptually coming from a different culture (at least with regard to when it was released) and a different personal understanding. Serial killers aren't exactly shocking as an aesthetic subject at this point in time, so how we experience/approach the subject is naturally less related to shock value.<br /><br />Also, despite my regular use of it, I think the word "just" is a means of attacking something without offering justification as to why.Ryan Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392626484931054113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-77077563381993190072012-07-11T09:01:24.935-04:002012-07-11T09:01:24.935-04:00because i don't think that it's trollish (...because i don't think that it's trollish (yet).

It was also just a lame joke. <br /><br />The individual disparaging the record is probably right in some existential-nothing-matters sense, but whatever, there's nothing wrong with striving a bit for something more relevant to you. I'm not going to spend much time dissecting that argument because it is a well-used cliche and has been debated elsewhere numerous times, but I will say I find it odd how afraid some people are bands taking themselves seriously.Ryan Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392626484931054113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-71705309850938572332012-07-10T15:33:46.953-04:002012-07-10T15:33:46.953-04:00ah, not what's in my head at all when i say Ne...ah, not what's in my head at all when i say New Wave of Circus Grind, but whatever<br /><br />I figured it was someone from Grind and Laugh All Night Long web label, xBarack Obamax, Brutal Bong Hit, The Campaign for Hella Weed and Fucking Blasting Dude, or that Dutch idiot that perpetually talks shit on everything i doSurvivalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536852408184141383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-81640609523967089842012-07-10T15:28:49.967-04:002012-07-10T15:28:49.967-04:00Probably because they're not far from the '...Probably because they're not far from the 'circus grind' bands you were referring toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347021818574327333.post-66247620507642136962012-07-10T15:23:05.408-04:002012-07-10T15:23:05.408-04:00Brutal Truth?

I had suspicions, and this post essentially confirmed them. Looking forward to picking up the vinyl version of this, I've been listening to the unmastered version for a bit now, so it will be nice to hear the finished record. <br /><br />I had similar thoughts when one of my bands wrote on a similar topic. I find that its almost impossible to articulate when it is a justifiable decision to write about misogyny. It seems from your description that this series of killings became associated with or related to or representative of the larger cultural experience at a particular time. Perhaps I am simply applying my particular bias. <br /><br />Also what is circus grind? Brutal Truth?Ryan Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392626484931054113noreply@blogger.com
