Okay, you're crazy.
...But seriously, when's the last time you heard a good speed metal song in a video game? And no, Brütal Legend doesn't count.

What, like Johannsson? With how much new material is being released every year the question isn't "where are the great works," but "how do we separate the greatest works from the lesser ones?"

This reminds me of Beethoven's Große Fuge, which some called repellent and other called a masterpiece. It's like how I don't understand Cubism but some people love it so there must be something I just don't see.
And remember Hitchen's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
