No, this site is for the most people that don't know good music. They think radio shit that no one has heard of is "good and raw".

Guess what? If they were so good and raw they'd have been discovered by now.

Fucktards.

dude, i really hate to be a downer but looking at alot of your reviews and the ratings you gave some of those albums i find it really hard to take you seriously.

the music that's popular tends to be the least sophisticated and easiest to digest. A band's popularity has nothing to do with the actual quality of their music, it has to do with how catchy or hook-filled their music is. It's not easy to sell, let's say, black metal or free jazz because they're not catchy and they're not hook-filled, but it's easy to sell a band that says "Let the bodies hit the floor!" more times than anyone can count without showing any musical or lyrical maturity, because come on, do most of the plebs really want to actually look into what the music actually is?

hoo needz braynz wen we gawtz brawnz?

No, let's look back at past history of bands who have been huge hits and great bands at the same time.

70s
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Rush
Rolling Stones
The Who

80s
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Guns N' Roses
The Smiths

90s
Nine Inch Nails
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Foo Fighters
Rage Against the Machine

THose were all great bands; and some still are. Tbey were played on the radio and considered godly. Most of these bands are considered godly on Sputnikmusic as well, but the bands that rule the 00s are considered trash.

00s
Incubus
Linkin Park
Tool
System of a Down
Three Days Grace
The White Stripes
Nickelback

Most of these bands are looked down upon on this website, but I guarantee in ten years they'll be godly. This is what happens with time. Everything gets better with age and it just pisses me off because I seem to see this and no one else does.

What's so different about it now?This Message Edited On 08.15.07

This is a really poor album.

Tribestros.

All the 70's to 90's bands you shown were immensely enjoyed at those times, and are still enjoyed. They had original material and were just overall better than your precious Drowning Pool and Nickleback.

Don't take it too offense but your mainstream rock obsession really shows that you try to protect it too much.

Incubus is good, and in years they should be known for their work. Tool, though i don't enjoy them as much, will be known for sure.

And finally, it's still quality over quantity. This Message Edited On 08.15.07

Nickelback is disgusting.

What's different?

Linkin Park is enjoyed.
System of a Down is enjoyed.
Three Days Grace is enjoyed.
The White Stripes is enjoyed.
Nickelback is enjoyed.

Linkin Park fused aggressive heavy metal with prototypical rapping and added DJ scratches with electronic beats. What's so wrong?

System of a Down is pure thrash, spastic, and random.

Three Days Grace rock hard and their songs are catchy and enjoyable

The White Stripes are pure garage rock with blues mixed in it.

Nickelback goes all out with pure hard, heavy rock and radio-friendly ballads.

What's wrong with Mainstream Rock?

Not a thing.

What's wrong with Mainstream Rock?

Mainstream Rock is the REAL rock.

Well then, I'm proud to say I don't like rock then.

70s
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Rush
Rolling Stones
The Who

80s
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Guns N' Roses
The Smiths

90s
Nine Inch Nails
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Foo Fighters
Rage Against the Machine

Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and Guns N Roses all suck.
Even mainstream music listeners note the huge lack of talent in bands such as Nickelback. Honestly, I don't know how you can fall for the same wannabe heavy, simple riffs and sappy, haphazardly catchy hooks over and over again.

Aside from Pink Floyd, Rush, and Smashing Pumpkins I can say that list is packed with crap.

you aint down with the zep?

No, mainly because Robert Plant has such an annoying voice. I can respect them but I do no consider them a favorite.

Album Rating: 2.5

What a gay thread.



All I have to say is that Drowning Pool were really good with "Sinner"



their second album Desensitized was ok.



This album sucks. Its not worth listening to.

this is ridiculous.
there hasn't been a decent comment about the album, all this is is sarcastic bickering about nothing. fucking nihilists. i love you all, great review, haven't heard album but my curiosity is peaked

This is a terrible album = my decent comment about the album.

Man After reading alot of your guys comments you are soo dumb. The band is doing what they love to do.

Album Rating: 2.0

Tribestros, I don't see the logic in comparing the members of the Sputnik community to regular people. We have access to information on whole genres that the average person doesn't even know exists. I honestly believe that a lot of people who like the mainstream crap would change their whole perspective (i.e. realize how terrible "radio rock" is and listen to quality stuff)on music if they knew about the more talented, yet less known bands.



I'll be honest, I liked a lot of shitty stuff before I joined and saw what I should be listening to. You could say that my musical taste matured and I'm glad it did. If I had not joined, I would still be listening to "hard" rock and thinking it was the coolest, heaviest crap in existence.



I always enjoy reading your well-written reviews on these bands and then laughing at the rating. No offense, but that's what always seems to happen.This Message Edited On 08.15.07
