Music reviews of Destroy the Machines
Music Review: Are you kidding me?
Rating: 1 Stars
Okay, I normally abstain from entering these online reviews, but something about the previous remarks just rubbed me the wrong way; this, then, is not so much a review of the above album as it is a response to "Cotton Hell."
First of all, your ignorance is astounding, but put into context it's entirely understandable. Your statements are all I need to see exactly who you are. You're a vegetarian. Great. Good for you. I bet you're also a white male between the ages of 16 and 18 who still lives with his parents in a suburban, middle-class home. So you can afford to be a vegetarian or vegan or whatever you like. You regularly hit up your local venues where your local scene has seven bands in a row playing drop-D crunch anthems in which they tell others how to live their lives. You probably still mosh. But I don't want to make fun of you; that would be too easy.
Let's look at the environment. If you've actually made it through junior-high level sciences, you by now have at least a small grasp of evolution and the natural workings of the world. Everything lives, and everything dies, and through this basic process life is able to continue. Death begets life. In addition to this basic fact in its smallest sense, everything eventually goes extinct. No species will live forever, and that includes humans. And let me tell you now, one of the leading causes of extinction is overpopulation. Too many individuals = not enough natural resources = death. Wildfires are a natural phenomenon in parts of the world as they clear out the old and weak to make room for new growth.
So you like Earth Crisis because they're straight edge and vegan. But their CD comes in a plastic case. Plastic! This paragon album of environmentally friendly screams and power-chord sludges is packaged in a fossil-fuel based polymer that adds to the depletion of the world's oil supplies, and doesn't decompose, just taking up landfill space. This CD case has at the very least led to the direct death of one animal. Not to mention has probably provided the income for graphic designers, factory workers, producers, etc. who probably gummed down a greasy double cheeseburger while working to get this thing finished up by the release date.
Don't most people become involved in these underground scenes because of a desire to break away from the mainstream? And the problem with the mainstream is that everyone is encouraged to conform. Well why then is it okay for a hardcore band to scissor-kick on stage to guttural proselytizing? Shouldn't differences and variances be embraced in a subculture that claims to abhor a jock-like groupthink mentality? So you don't want to eat meat. That's fine. But it's pretty damn self-righteous to claim that your view is correct for all 6-billion-plus humans on this earth. Go into a starvation-ridden sub-Saharan African community and tell them why it's immoral to eat meat. You'll look like a jackass.
All that aside, my young, naïve, foolish Cotton Hell, there is one thing you said that makes me want to vomit half-digested meat right down your throat. That you could possibly call someone like myself "racist" toward vegans and vegetarians. First of all, of what "race" are you speaking? From what country/ethnicity are vegans descended? And-here's the important part-when was the last time you were attacked, lynched, sprayed with a riot-hose, shot in the head, or imprisoned simply for abstaining from meat? When was the last time a tyrannical imperialist rounded up six million vegans, worked them to starvation, gassed them, and threw their bodies in one giant grave? You need to choose your words much more carefully, or maybe read a book or something. You sound like an uneducated rich kid trying to fumble his way through complex ideas. The world's not black and white; there will always be variables and exceptions. But as long as you get to hang out in your parents' house, in your comfortable bedroom listening to an array of Victory Records bands trying desperately to convince yourself that you actually enjoy tofu, the suburbs will remain a wasteland of stale, cyclical ideology. I'd bet all the money I have (which isn't much) that you'll be eating meat again by the time you're 25.
If you need me, I'll be outside the steakhouse, smoking a cigarette, waiting to sober up before I drive home.
