Dude, you took a snippet of the lyrics and made them to look stupid when really, they should be read as a whole. I actually like the concept.

Fail.



Actually, after a few listens one will notice that all of these high-pitched riffs are pretty similar in sound.


What?



And all of them played atop the ubiquitous palm-muting found in nearly every single metal band recording today.




How does this even make sense? I guess every band sounds the same because they palm mute. Fail.



Protest the Hero stands as the epitome of what is wrong with metal today: as all other "scenes" are growing and becoming more liberalized, this genre seems determined to move in the opposite direction, marinating in archaic metal cliche's like misogyny, mythical bullshit, riff after riff after riff that amounts to the most obnoxious of instrumental masturbation, etc.




Epic fail! And I'm not even a PTH fanboy.



The review was a load of tripe and seems like it was written by someone who is simply seeking attention. I won't neg' because I'm sure the staff or other reviewers around here will tear you a new one as well.

Its not about that at all. I just wanted to point out for him the error of his ways. The review was immature and totally neg worthy. I'm done!

ilikemusicthatsucks, the thing is, you could heed all the advice amongst the users here and write a damn good review and people on here will still criticize the f*ck out of it just because it's you. what a shame

This is partially true. If he hadn't written the review like he was an pissy little teenager, I would have acknowledged him with a "Good Review". Unfortunately, his immaturity ruined any chances of him gaining any credibility for his objectivity.

i think you missed the point

this should not ruin his credibility as a future writer.

a few things since coming back.



the wizard did not "rip me a new one." Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about as far as the riffs being similar. I could go into detail and look up all of the guitar terminology to describe it perfectly but that is the most boring thing anyone could do in a review. Second, the point about the palm muting is obvious. There is CONSTANT palm muting in the background the entire song almost every song! And I don't need any more detail than that. Just listen to the god damn album. Behind all the finger tapping higher pitched riffs is repetative palm muting. And his third point was non existent minus "epic fail!" Not what I call "ripping a new one."



foreverendeared is right. If I suddenly became the next Robert Christgau, people would not like me just because I am the same guy who likes Panic, Cute, and FTSK. That and apparently, my sarcastic attitude demonstrates that I'm just doing this all "for the attention." The only bands you can direct any scorn at are pop punk groups or totally easy targets like that.



But hey guess what? I don't care. I like this website even if half the people on it have been complete dicks to me. I like this website even if smileyface keeps going back and forth between pos'ing and neg'ing my review depending on which opinion on it is currently popular in the thread and who he can pander to. I like this website even if some ICP fan randomly shows up in my threads all the time pretending he's not the same guy that's been stalking this website on and off for months. Even if I'm constantly getting negged with no given reason in the comments. Even if HighandDriving comes into random threads of mine every few weeks just to leave a short comment that my opinion doesn't count because I criticized one of his prog bands and rated a PATD album good. Even if my tastes are totally at odds with most of the people here.



So keep negging me and bashing me. It doesn't matter and I'm not leaving this website. I like some of the people on it, and I enjoy writing reviews. So, yeah.This Message Edited On 07.02.08

i think i remember him saying at some time or another he is like maybe 15 years old? that's rather young for an aspiring writer. i don't know about you, but when i was 15, i listened to sh*tty ass music and could hardly write ANYTHING halfway intelligent. i think he has PLENTY of time to redeem any qualities that have been perceived as bad
