while it may not be “badass” or “cool” or “ambitious”, that album art does indeed make me giggle. plus, as you said, the music is absolutely fantastic, which has to count for something.

I fucking LOVE the new Dethklok album. It is probably 3rd on my top ten of the year. Fuck the haters…the band is “fake” but the music sure as shit isn’t.

I meant to say “when the only way available to buy music is digitally”.
I wasn’t really trying to predict anything. It just seems that it’s heading that way.
I have never bought music any way other than a physical cd (or tapes, back in the day) and I will be disappointed if they go the way of the cassette tape.

As far as Dethklok beign a cartoon album, that was kinda my point in never taking it seriously in the past. Give the full length songs a try, it’s got Gene Hoglan, and you know you like Gene Hoglan!

Because not everyone shares your opinion? Seems like that would be kind of obvious.
