Great review as always, man. I'd pos if Contributors weren't immune to pos/negs now.



I did catch this:

because Silver Tongue’s second track ‘Amalgam” is comprised of too much of, well, everything.

i'm sorry but i doubt your competences in writing reviews. with this album light bearer have done extremely well. they are not afraid of trying out things, and when i had my first listen i was so stunned about the production and mixing so that i had to smile. and i have quite alot of experience in terms of mixing ;). in my opinion this record deserves at least a 4 as it's produced extremely well, the compositions are tight eventhough the songs are nearly 20 minutes long and they experimented with clean lyrics, atmospheric parts and sounds and in my opinion they suceeded in every way. Please don't give a shot about this score and give the record the chance to convince you. In my case it just took a few minutes. It's a creative, harmonic but still agressive album with nice lyrics by an experienced band that won't dissapoint you. Taste is taste but objectivity is objecitivity. I think this writer gave this album one listen and that was it. I'm reviewing myself and to build myself an opinion i usually need more than a week. Silver tongue isn't even out for that long so please build an opinion yourself. This is not a good review!

Excellent review as always. It would be difficult to write a review where you say, "just skip it."

'This album isn't objectively good so don't try and act like it is.'

Are you arguing that there are albums that are indeed objectively good? (except for the obvious stuff like Pink Floyd's animals)

Edit: Damn it, Snorlax. You just killed my punchline.

I suggest you read rasputin's review (which is by far the best review I've ever read) of Animals so you can see just how wrong you are

I suggest you both hug it out and move on. Or you could solve this Holmgang style, everbody gets 3 shields and swords and you fight 'til death/disarming of the enemy.

I'm joking of course

but rasputin's review is a masterpiece you should definitely check it out if you haven't already

Sorry I don't hug I can offer you a celebratory fist bump though

"Also, judge a review by the way it's written, not by the reviewer's opinion on the album. This album isn't objectively good so don't try and act like it is. And get your head out of your arse. "



um, what makes a review good is whether or not the arguments defending the reviewer's point of view are well thought out and convincing, the actual writing is secondary imo

"LOOK AT ME I'M SO MYSTERIOUS AND SHIT AND BLAH BLAH I ONLY OFFER PHYSICAL CONTACT IN FORM OF FRAT BOY DOUCHERY YIH!"

Fix'd.

"How is how the reviewer writes and gets across his argument not part of his writing?"

No, I definitely agree with that, it's just the way you said it just made it sound like having a nice style of writing

and not making any spelling mistakes is what makes a review good

This is objectively a well-written review. I don't think he understands the band very well but the points are backed up decently, even if there's not much about what it actually sounds like.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.



Kind of rude to say it's not a good review just because you disagree with it.

I'm going to agree with this being a bad review, not because I disagree with it but because I feel like it hardly says anything. It mentions that there are two good songs and the rest are long and aimless. End. He mentions the words post metal and post rock in the very beginning of the review and other than that, I would have no idea what this music sounds like other than boring. It feels like you threw the album on in the background and the only time something caught your attention was the first and last track, so it must be boring. I'm not denying that this release is bloated but almost every single track has at least one portion that is fantastic if you are paying attention

I would have liked him to elaborate more on the good and bad, I guess. Tell me why it feels apathetic to him, because I obviously get a different feeling. He could have mentioned the lack of varied drumming, the use of similar structured guitar chords throughout, etc. Anything. Maybe "bad" was a bit strong.

band sucks good review
