don't get me wrong- i love metal, but i don't like screaming most of the time because i can't understand what they're saying, and most of the stuff i hear doesn't even sound good.
however it's because everybody i know takes musical advice from hot topic and likes most of the new bullstuff
I understand that the screaming is a major deterent for many people, and I know many metal listeners who don't care for the lyrics since they can't understand them anyway. That isn't to say the lyrics don't mean something though, which is all I was trying to point out.
Sometimes, the music just evokes emotion and passion into the listener, at least it does into me a lot of times. That's why metal shows are often the most energetic of any live show. Then, on another level, the listener can take a look into the lyrics and see that story is being told, poetry is being written, and a message is being conveyed. At least, this is the case with most if not all of the metal I listen to.
