    "Two clichés make us laugh. A hundred cliches move us. For we sense dimly that the clichés are talking among themselves, and celebrating a reunion."

    "Electric Wizard are the product of a hundred cliches. Everything about them is a trope, but despite that, they are stupidly heavy and even though they often sink into kitsch to the detriment of their songwriting, they're sort of a unique band in that they're the best at amplifier massage."
