As a big metalhead (figuratively and literally) I love the way the show balances true metal appeal and the fun part. I can pick out really obscure references to things that are gruesome, strange, or obscure for the sake of being obscure, but I can laugh at the absurdity at the same time. It also helps that Brendon Small is a really talented musician and actually does all of the music himself (well, he programs the drum machine, but that still counts.)
