Actually hearing that Liturgy record described as "the Lars Von Trier of metal" makes all kinds of sense.

Why is it alright for every publication that CW works for to have click through galleries but, according to him, not mine? Serious question.

Man I can't believe I'm captain save a cw here, but he already did kind of explain the difference itt or another one. Also, fwiw I don't think he's the one who gets to decide how Spin formats its listicles.

But I do appreciate that Popmatters added a "single page" option on their lists this year.
