Welcome to “Question of the Week,” a (not really at all) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue.

Following the not-necessarily-logical-but-certainly-MetalSucksian conclusion that we need to counteract our recent Albums That Will Fuck Your Face Off in 2012 series, in which we preview some albums coming out this year about which we are totally stoked, this week we asked our writers:

WHAT ALBUM WILL HIT YOU IN THE FACE WITH A LIMP DICK IN 2012?

Which is just a silly way of asking:

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF 2012?

The MS staff’s answers after the jump!

We haven’t done one one of these all summer, but we came up with a fun one for this week:

Welcome to “Question of the Week,” a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue.

This week’s query comes from an e-mail sent to us by reader Jaziel Ocampo. We thought it was such an intriguing issue, so we passed it along to our writers:

“I still buy and collect vinyl records and prefer them over buying a cd but they rarely have an access code to obtain a digital copy of the album. Do I have the right to download the album without paying for it since I already paid minimally twice the price for the record on vinyl?”

Presumably inspired by this week’s announcement of a Big 4 show in the U.S., this week’s question was posed by MetalSucks contributor/author of the Reign in Blood entry into the 33 1/3 book series, D.X. Ferris. Mr. Ferris was even good enough to join us for this edition of QOTW! And his query was:

IF THE BIG FOUR WERE THE BIG EIGHT, WHICH BANDS WOULD BE THE NEXT FOUR IN THE GROUP?

Last week we asked you, oh beloved readers, to suggest some QOTW, and there were actually a number of good queries posited. So we kinda just picked one at random, and then we’ll do some others in the coming weeks. In the meantime, this week’s question, from Tim, is:

WHAT ALBUM ORIGINALLY GOT YOU INTO METAL?

Welcome to “Question of the Week,” a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue.

We didn’t solicit a “Question of the Week” from our writers this week, since everyone is still getting back and settled after the holidays. So, since we’ve only had one reader-suggested QOTW ever, this seemed like an ideal time to ask you, the MetalSucks Maniacs:

WHAT SHOULD THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK BE?

Let’s consider this an official thread to suggest questions for now. Axl and Vince will then look through all the suggestions, and assuming anyone asks something better than “What does Eyal Levi’s dick taste like?”, perhaps the MetalSucks Media Mavens will address it in a future column.

And the real Question of the Week will return one week from today… we promise.

This week, Anso DF suggested the Question of the Week; unfortunately, he did so before Slipknot announced that they’re headlining the Sonisphere Festival this year, so it doesn’t seem quite as relevant anymore. Still, it was a fun question to answer, so:

TO WHAT EXTENT WOULD A SLIPKNOT BREAK-UP BE BAD FOR METAL?
