@toxin,

I'm open to any other criticism on the review. I'm trying to get more feedback lately so I can actually improve my writing . I'm no English major so go easy on me ;)

Nice review, pos'd. I hate to be that guy, but the "band's" thing is plaguing you haha; it's in the last sentence as well. I'll have to check these guys out.

@lastsignal, thanks and yeah I just noticed that sigh lol I'll edit it as well

okay Atari if you remind me on Friday after 4PST I'll critique your review carefully. Busy with homework overload for today and tomorrow

@andcas, you mean am i in a band? nah

@toxin, cool no worries i'll remind you sometime

Solid review as usual. I really need to check these guys out. I've been hearing about them for awhile.

Those god damn apostrophes will get ya

thanks atrink

"Those god damn apostrophes will get ya"

@atari lol no. I was just reading the comments.

puhz.

damn thanks man :]

-‘Iodine and ‘Excandescent’-

Missing one of them-thar little guys after the mention of Iodine.

"The entire album is packed with exceptional drumming and creative guitar work and even the bass stands out to give the band a very pleasant and full sound. The instrumentation also doesn’t lack variety and songs like ‘Desert Sea’ and Capillary Life’ showcase the band’s creativity with some of the most exciting guitar work on the album."

I don't know what it is, but I don't like the way this section flows. It feels like you repeat yourself a bit between the two sentences. Maybe something like this:

"The entire album is packed with exceptional drumming, creative guitar work (songs like ‘Desert Sea’ and Capillary Life’ especially stand out) and even some audible and noteworthy bass parts that give the band a very pleasant and full sound, which also showcases their talents as songwriters."

I don't know, that ending kind of sucks. It would probably be fine if it ended at "full sound," but I was trying to incorporate the creativity part again. Anyway, something like that. Play around with it!

that was like a semi-backhanded compliment don't be nice to me about it lol

@calc, : ( do you think i should get more creative with my reviews then? I thought straightforward was a good thing lol

@ecnalzen, thanks for the feedback i'll consider editing some stuff!

Cool man. Good stuff, as per usual.

do you agree with calc that my reviews are too straightforward ecnal?

wel duh its good to be straightforward and not beat around the bush with blah blah language but I think you'd benefit by adding a little personality to your reviews. Either way you're gonna get 100% pos every time so who cares what i think.

@calc,

well i care what you think or i wouldn't have asked lol
and i get neg'd sometimes foo!

seriously though i appreciate the honest feedback. it's just easier for me to write a straightforward review but i'll see what i can come up with the next time around.

Well... Maybe. You tend to have a pretty similar format from review to review. They are always good, they just all seem vaguely familiar to each other. Kind of like Silverstein's discography :D

You might try shaking it up every so often. Try coming at an album from a different angle than you normally do and jump out of your comfort zone. I know this is easier said than done, but you may just have to screw around with it until you find another review approach that you are comfortable with. I hope that is helpful.

i'm gonna be honest errytime bud. though me saying anything not positive about you may reflect poorly on me lol.

anyway have a good night the game is gonna come on soon. OH! and i saw the new Overkill record leaked. I think you like them.
