@SowingSeason I think it's really good (obviously). Judging by the fact that you commented, I take it you guys (Staff/Mods) don't mind if the review stays up?

Well I mean, I don't think I've seen another Staff yet (Emeritus and some Contributors though), so I figured I'd ask to make sure. I'm not going to deny that I'm not exactly sure of who holds what powers on the site. But it seemed innocent enough to ask.

"sowing you 3.5d the new muse so yea you'll 5 this!!!!!!!!!"



It's entirely possible I'll 5 this, but I haven't even heard it yet. And what's with all the hate for the new Muse album? I know they sold out a long time ago and have since spent most of their time making glam-pop for 13 year old girls to listen to while masturbating to pictures of Robert Pattinson, but I thought The 2nd Law was a nice recovery. The opening 4 songs all have great (if a little short) riffs, the middle is decent, the it loses steam at the end. It's good but not amazing, hence the 3.5.

A comment doesn't equate to approval, besides, I hardly speak for the mods. I'd save it just in case Ending, because reviews are almost always deleted if it's before the release date without a stream.

Does this even have an official stream yet? Review has come out awfully quick after this leaked.

It's only released if you see them at a show and pick it up. However, that still means that people have the physical copies so there's no reason people shouldn't be allowed to post reviews. Just because YOU (people who can't see the band on this tour) can't get the album doesn't mean that someone who does have the album shouldn't be allowed to review it. Really, it's no different than staff posting reviews when they had an early listen before everyone else.

@SowingSeason Alright, thanks for clarification. Like I said, I'm not exactly crystal clear on who runs what haha. And yeah, I'll save it just in case. Thanks for the heads up.



And I know that a comment doesn't necessarily mean approval, I just figured since it was a comment that wasn't a "warning" etc. that I was fine.

"According to reports from concert goers, the album is already available at the band's current US tour."



Just read this, so my guess is the review is safe to stay. But once again, I'm not a mod.

just because the album has been released on concerts doesn't means all audiences have access to the album legally. Most people are downloading and the stream is not official so your review is dead. You'll have to repost it because sputnik is not pitchforkmedia or Anthony Fagtano.

@eternium That was basically my mindset. It is available to all right now, so I figured that qualified as being reviewable.

@GiaNXGX Good point on the fact that it's technically not an official stream. Oh well, only time will tell I suppose.

@Tyraelxy I originally was writing it as a 4.5, because I didn't want to compromise the sacred 5, but as I was writing it and listening to it, I really saw no reason not to. I enjoy this more than Lift Your Skinny Fists, personally.



@GiaNXGX If I had a physical copy, I'd love to post a picture haha.

OK. I don't want to be nasty, but here's the sitch:

You can't give this a 5 this shortly after it was announced.

This review basically just reads, "I jizzed everywhere when this was announced."

End.
