I can't stand this kind of music. Sorry, but it just doesn't have any soul--and that's where music's got to touch you, where you can feel it. This doesn't make me feel anything; it's just all technique. All form and no substance, you know what I mean? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate ALL metal. Metallica's early stuff was great! But this is hollow. All my humble, acoustic-folk-Dylan influenced opinion, of course.
