if you ask me there's way TOO many right now, and it's boring and uninspired as all hell.

i want something new dammit! i'm sick of hearing rehashed shit that was perfected in '82.

Agreed, tack on all the shitty Sabbath stoner rock clones that keep popping up too. While its great that so many kids and new bands are rediscovering the great elements of '70s, '80s (and probably '90s again soon) metal, the vast majority of this stuff doesn't reach out into employing said components creatively... and they just come across as carbon copies of bygone bands, and not much more. Embrace thy roots, but forge ahead.
