No but I do like to go there from time to time to check out different band pages.

I do a lot of submissions and corrections...mainly for bands I am involved with or that are on my label...but I just realized I've been a member since 2003...11 years! Shocked

What about Rate Your Music or Discogs?

I'd forgotten I was a member until you asked. I don't have any reviews or anything, I forget why I made an account. I go there all the time for reviews, it's one of my favorite sites for that.

I checked there and they deleted a review I wrote about Exodus´ Pleasures of the Flesh, but I think there are some few reviews of mine left. I think Decidion D has a review of mine and Napalm Death´s F.E.T.O. page also has a review of mine

I rarely read reviews, but I am obsessed with complete and accurate discographies insane

I used to be many years ago. I have no idea what my username was though. I used to do reviews, but the elitism really turned me off of the place.

I don´t always have the patience to have the reviews there. I tend to read more reviews from NLTM

Agreed. It's run by 20-somethings who are metal heads (not the most agreeable demographic) so there's no point in arguing ANYTHING with them...I just smile and wave Metal Archives 337331

Good site for investigating bands, but their reviews are a F****** waste of time!!!!!!!

Pretty much. The arguments just turn into what "is" and "isn't" metal. They'll decline your review for being "too biased" because it doesn't match how they personally feel about it. I just use the place as a reference point.

I was a member there, but the discussions on metal there are ridiculous. Also, I've received numerous emails from people telling me they wrote Ultimatum reviews there only to have them turned down by the elitists there. I've read the reviews and there was nothing wrong with them. There there is the fact that they have bands like Thin Lizzy, but won't add Kiss.

I don't participate in discussions or anything else but making sure profiles and discographies are as accurate as possible for the bands I give a shit about What a Face

I cannot stand interacting with anyone on that site. A bunch of stupid kids incorrectly changing album/band info for points, just so they can get some title like Elitist Metal Douchebag. And the reviews are generally complete jokes. No thanks.

I'm a member, I wrote one review on there for Sonic Syndicate: We Rule The Night but haven't gotten around to writing any others. I wouldn't call them "elitists" necessarily, but they do seem confused about genres, there are some bands that used to have pages on that site that no longer do, Rob Halford's "Two" being one of them.

While it's true there are some bad reviews on there, I think some are actually pretty well written(at least better then a lot of reviews by major critics anyways).

Did you ever write any reviews on there?

Here's mine:
