I feel like this has already happened before. I feel like I have already replied to this e-mail before. I mean, the comments are the same as ones I have replied to a thousand times before. In fact just by reading even one or two of the hate mail replies on this page alone would give detailed answers to pretty much every comment and question in this e-mail. Why must people who send hate mail be so dumb? Or is it me who is dumb? Have I been sucked into another dimension where the stupider a human being gets, the more intelligent they are perceived as being? Must everyone be whacked upside the head with the obvious stick repeatedly before they start understanding such simple facts? Were you hit by a car when you were younger causing severe brain damage? Or was your mother’s picking at your marshmallow skull when you were still in the womb with a coat hanger cause irreparable brain damage?

Leif’s reviews are here for a reason, to make whiny, anal people, such as yourself, cry. Why? Because I don’t like people like you. I don’t like people who piss and moan because someone dares to think for themselves. I don’t like people who think everyone in the world should have the same opinions as they do and should express them the same way.

When was the last time you ate a cookie that tasted like dog shit and made an objective comment about it? Never! You said "This fucking cookie tastes like dog shit!" Now, you may have a thing for eating dog shit, I don’t know, but the average human being would say what they thought and felt, without holding back.

So what if he doesn’t go into great detail about the production and the song structure? The point was made; he hates the album. I personally love reading his reviews, and the reactions I receive because of them is amazing. The average human being who disagreed would just laugh and ignore the comment, toss the Opeth CD into their CD player and enjoy it regardless, and those who were uncertain wouldn’t stick to the judgement of one person, they would read about the album from a variety of sources, finding reviewers who have tastes similar to their own to see what they’ve said about it to see if they may like it or not. What’s the point in listening to the reviews of someone who’s opinions you completely disagree with? Only a total moron would do that.

As far as the sole reason my site is popular is because people merely want to see how bad the reviews are is pretty ridiculous. The reason the site is popular is because, believe it or not, there are a lot of people who happen to agree with the opinions stated on the site, a lot of people are not anal retentive and enjoy a good laugh when they read something funny, a lot of people don’t take it too seriously. Come on now, this is a style of music where the main lyrical subject matter is killing babies and worshipping the devil. Lighten up and get a sense of humor, even Glen Benton has one.
