What?  No.  Prong vocals are in the same vein as the ones in likeminded bands like Helmet and Godflesh: hoarse, hardcore-inspired barking.  Amateurish, maybe, but that's part of the charm and surely rather intentional.

Yet again, indie rock-oriented reviewers are simply not going to talk in depth (or at all) about the music on hip hop and metal albums, especially when there's a juicy sociopolitical angle to beat to death instead.  Which is unfortunate, because this album is easily the guy's best work as a producer.

"Radical"?  Oh brother.  Now bear in mind I liked the album at the time, and still like U2.  But "Achtung" was released in November 1991.  You know what had already happened by then?  Jesus Jones and "Right Here, Right Now" (early '91); EMF and "Unbelievable" (1990); Nine Inch Nails and "Head Like a Hole" (late '89);…

It's not.  Jamaicans are chuckling over this whole Snoop Lion thing to begin with, and this is the least reggae-like song he's put out from it.

"Doggumentary" was solid and the Mac & Devin soundtrack was even better. But holding them up against "Blue Carpet" is a little unfair, since that was his best album other than "Doggystyle."

They locked down "staying in your lane" before that was what basically everyone was doing.

Phish wannabes?  Similar music styles?  Did you lose your ears as a child and have, like, chunks of your butt grafted on to the side of your head or something?

This conversation is giving me these kind of creeps: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Was wondering the same thing.  I kind of hate Fuller.  We raced through "Dead Like Me" but the relentless quirk and seemingly indifferent plotting left me cold; it's fair to say that the performances (especially Mandy Patinkin, of course) were what really sucked me in.  I only made it through three episodes of…

Two word refutation: Twin Peaks

Sepinwall loves it too.  It's on my DVR until further notice, but I too was quite shocked to hear it. 

*mumble mumble* gay paniii… *mumble* *sly look implying a punchline that no one heard*

I think he means the opening riff, not just the snare roll, judging by him talking about it separately later on.  But yeah, not getting the lyrics, or not getting "Just go ahead now" - it's not complicated, dude.  It's the other thing.

Why is that 4:30 thing so damn memorable?  I don't know, but it just is.  I never even KIND OF liked the Spin Doctors, but my friend (who did like them) started doing that and I immediately picked up on it and joined in what was, to us, an inside joke.  Years later the internet disabused me of the notion that we were…

It was a capital-M Movie.  Refn picked the right guy - someone who would simmer nicely and otherwise stay out of the movie's way.

Nah, it was good.  It was pure cinema, stripped down to the point of having almost no dialogue in it at all.  The style was the substance.  Really enjoyed that movie.

Really?  I thought it sounded better.

You magnificent bastards.  I hate the Tolerability Index.  Therefore, I'm in.

Rust in Peace, LOUD.  You died young and left a beautiful corpse.  :(

It's not that his opinion is negative; it's what he said (which is inaccurate and assuming) and how he said it (as if anyone who likes the show is an imbecile).  Honestly, I'm not sure how the rest of the AV Club writers didn't smack him.
