I really didn't think this was bad at all apart from a couple sentences that were a bit much

Honestly don't understand how this could warrant 10 negs. It's a 5 review, I think the style of the review definitely backs up the rating, I'm not seeing a problem here.

This does warrant negs. It should have many many more negs. The review is awful. Having several people saying they don't see what's wrong with it is a paramount example of how dumb/ignorant some of you are.

Samples of awfulness:

"Innominate raped senses and babies"

- the author's attempt at humor or just trying to get his point across falls flat with a statement like this. Even though most people will understand what he meant with this, it actually makes no sense at all and reeks of immaturity.

In reference to Off Minor's 4 LPs he writes "one could argue they are all classics". That's great. One could argue that all 5 Pavement LPs were classics. One could argue that all 7 Thrice LPs were classics. One could argue anything based on bias or POV, making this claim a moot point. It's interesting that a classic can be described simply as an album that "rapes senses and babies" or that it "has one of their best songs on it".

"The intensity, lyrical prowess, and slick musicianship conform into a ball of blazing fury and beautiful interludes."

- how do you conform into a ball? Conforming is following a set of standards or rules.

"Heat Death... is an excersize in jumping the f**k around and breaking ***."

- really really bad. A side note: what is that last expletive supposed to be? Ass? 'Breaking ass'?

When referring to This Is A Hostage Situation; "The first half of the song is crazy and skramz influenced enough..."

- the fact that this is a skramz album makes this comment completely superfluous.

"the music suddenly halts and all that is left is a constant pulsing bass that underlines a wonderful guitar lead that continues until a peak of fury."

- that that that that. Connecting descriptive elements together with the word 'that'. A less awkward description: "the music abruptly segues into a wonderful guitar lead, underlined by rhythmic bass; both building their way to a furious peak."

"The Heat Death Of The Universe will excite any fan of the genre and should be considered essential listening for all you crazy f***s out there."

- essential listening for all you crazy fucks out there. Retarded.

^Just some examples.

I have to agree with alachlahol 100% here. I like ya chambered but this review could've benefited from a couple of proof reads

probably because everything he said made it seem like he appreciated this album for all the wrong reasons (read: the reasons of a stupid 14 year old scene faggot)

I must have missed the part where you're supposed to neg when you don't like the reviewer's reasons for their rating.
