Thanks Willie... I will prove myself yet, I agree with what you said earlier, I don't know a lot about this genre or this record, and I should have spun it a few more times and took the time to write a more in depth review.
Definitely should have regardless of the rating. The best way to get better at writing these reviews is to make your first handful of reviews on albums you're intimately familiar with.
Knowing willie he'd probably just send a demo CD with a bottle of cologne and call it a hug
Wouldn't that be better???

Albums that I would give a 4-5 star rating, you mean? A negative review is very hard to take on... I just thought I'd try to be somewhat ambitous and be outgoing on my first review.

Gyro, look up my first review. It's for an album called "Adultery" by Dog Fashion Disco. The format I used in that review is very simple and easy to follow.





Willie, what if what I really want is a hug?

More than likely they'd be in that range because you're probably a lot more familiar with albums that you think are 4/5 star range than you are with albums at the opposite end of the spectrum.



If you only want a hug then I, sadly, can't help you from this far away. I'm willing one to you as we speak.

I try to only do really negative reviews of albums I feel no one will be able to like.



Thus, Wold and Svedhous OH THE MEMORIES GAAAAH

Wow this got ridiculous. If it's any consolation gyro, I don't think this review was bad enough to neg, just not good enough to pos. Don't give up just because some people don't like it. Practice makes perfect. Review Sigur Ros; it's much less contentious around here.

review is decent but the PTH honor at the end struck me as ironic

Notice how it is the account's first review. The PTH fanboyism leads me to believe that this is Cocaine's alt account.

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but I read all the comments and didn't find anything about what I wanted to say. I just think that your arguments are extremely weak and at times don't make sense.



You say that the vocals are overproduced but Paul uses a vocoder...it's an effect to his voice, if you have a problem with that then specifically mention it. Also you say that the drums are overproduced sometimes which makes no sense because there is one drum production style on the album that stays consistent throughout. Lastly, you say that the guitar work in Adam's Murmur is underpar, but compared to what? Is it not catchy, does it not flow well, etc...



If you're going to call out sputnik's community and a specific reviewer you might as well have a good review to back it up.

Several months on, and I still don't (and probably never will) understand why people cream themselves over this album.

^^Agreed. It's by no means the best review in the world, but there have been way way worse ones on this site.

This is technical. This is amazing. This is a classic. This is the best of the year. I am being serious.


This is what makes you such a sad individual. Lots of bands are technical but I mean whatever man it's your opinion. To neg him because you disagree with him is pretty homo if you ask me.

Userword, unless I have grossly misinterpreted you, are you saying that if music has emotional depth, or someone believes the music they are listening to has emotional depth that the artist or listener, in turn, must be an 'emo fucker', as you put it?
