Writ of Heavius Corpses (TM)
Wherein joanismylover takes issue with one of my reviews.
The issue on appeal is whether Inter Arma, as evidenced on
Sky Burial, is “boldly combining influences in new ways, or do they lack identity?”* The rule applicable is whether the release kicks enough ass to make the listener say, “Whoa, this some good fuckin’ shit.” (hereinafter “the kick ass good shit rule”).** Respondent argues in essence that the length of the release, combined with its allegedly mis-placed acoustic interludes and discordant influences present a confused but potential-laden release. We granted this writ because it presents an issue of first impression – i.e. significant disagreement between FMA and joanismylover. Because real-party at interest – Inter Arma – despite some minor mis-steps, ultimately satisfy kick ass good shit rule, joanismylover will, as explained below, give Sky Burial an improved rating.
