Not as good as Season One 4 out of 5 stars.

Season Two was entertaining, but it didn't captivate me like Season One did. Maybe I need to watch the episodes a few more times. I agree with "Mr Treize" in that a lot of the episodes just stop at random spots, as if the episodes were written too long and just cut off at the 11 minute mark. The few stories that spanned multiple episodes were much better.
One thing that has annoyed me since I got the first season is the censoring of the swear words. There are uncenssored bonus features, but not the main episodes. I get that it is necessary for TV, but I would like unrated episodes on DVD.
More disappointing than rewarding 2 out of 5 stars.

I'm a huge fan of the first season of Metalocalypse, but this second season leaves much to be desired. I agree with another reviewer that the special features on here are largely worthless, and having to search for them is annoying and unnecessary. Considering the huge fanbase this show has built, the creators could have easily put more effort into adding some unique band-related extras - you'll find yourself saying "that's it?"
The writing quality has declined considerably; many episodes here feel either rushed/incomplete, or dragged out to meet the standard episode length (several beating-a-dead-horse sketches will have you reaching for the FF button). Also, the plot development leaves the viewer in virtually the exact same place as the season one ending; the final episode here has lots of great animation tricks, but frustratingly brings you right back to where the season started.
Having said that, there are still a few good laughs here - episodes concerning Toki's father, Snakes & Barrels, and the band's weight problems are all great. Die-hard Dethklok fans will want this, but to everyone else: borrow it from a friend.

So when I was young, I was a huge metal fan and worked on crews for many a metal band. I grew out of it for the most part, but the first time I caught this show on TV I was laughing my butt off.
Mind you, a lot of the humor is really for metal fans and those of you that are not into metal music or never have been may not get some of it, writing it off as stupid. Let me tell you, to the correct audience, this is one of the funniest things ever.
From the song called "Mermaid Murder" on the album of metal that was written for fishes (Not for Human ears), to the 80's rock and roll clown Dr. Rockzo (Who does cocaine), I enjoyed every second of this first season and I am eagerly awaiting the second.
Good thing also that this show is one of those 15 minutes per episode shows because I could see the show getting a bit old after watching for 30 minutes or so.
The characters are funny and well written. I love it.
