"The last time I talked to a friend about Liturgy, he compared them with some of the other handmade, artisanal, organic products being made in Brooklyn these days, like menswear, pickles, or salsa—i.e., it’s the one heavy-metal product specially constructed for a certain class of people. Which is to say that the album has a kind of boutique appeal, which is the point I’m driving at."

Don’t you hate it when someone with a big audience says something really stupid about something you really like? You end up having to defend the thing from charges that that particular description of the thing is stupid. And in your head you’re thinking, “I KNOW it’s stupid! It’s not my fault someone with a bigger audience than me said that shit!”
Sigh.

It is very calibrated, very specifically targeted, which, yeah, most records are to a point, but the Liturgy record is so much this that it feels cynical? Also it somehow grows thinner on repeated listens. There’s no there there.
