Hmm.
I actually can't listen to some stuff if the production is too clean - it bothers me. Reminds me of crap radio music. Examples: Dimmu Borgir, In Mourning . . .
There's really cool stuff in Darkthrone? Gah! That's the most simplistic, repetitive music on the planet!
*dies*
Note: Never say you listen to Dimmu or Cradle to a black metaller. They'll stab you.
23 times.
Well, not 23 times, you'll actually fall in some broken glass. But they will stab you.
. . . if you didn't catch that joke, you're not a blackmetaller
Unless you're trying to find out if they're actually a black metaller. If they don't at least pause awkwardly for a moment when you say you like Dimmu and Cradle, or worse yet if they're enthusiastic about it, they're not black metallers.
