Why? They make good music. Just because you metal heads don't like it doesn't mean it's bad

That’s the thing though...they don’t. Haha

I don’t give too shits about their aesthetics or theatrics. Hell, with the right talent, it might actually be a cool concept.

I also don’t give a damn about their Satanic lyrical overtones. Although, it does come across as contrived and silly more than anything.

Their sound is bland. It’s neutered and has no bite to eat. The fact that all of these goddamn music critics keep insisting that they’re this monumental metal act is downright ridiculous.

But genre labels aside, I wouldn’t care for them regardless of whether or not they are metal or rock.

Me being a “metalhead” has nothing to do with it. I grew up on ‘70s hard rock and I don’t need guttural vocals or blast beats to appreciate quality music.

The fact that Ghost is branded as a sort of retro act recapturing the ‘70s style only further illustrates how mediocre they are.

And Brosef, I’m not purporting that Machine Head is that much of an artistically intriguing act. But, their music does have balls.
