"Wtf is with the ghost negs"



I originally negged because the review is littered with grammatical errors, but just now undid the neg because the rest of the review content-wise is fine. Still, I feel like you should take some time to give yourself a grammar refresher (I do this from time to time as well), because it has been a consistent problem in your reviews.

Album Rating: 3.5

Get Low would you give some examples as I'm not sure what's wrong with it grammatically.

Album Rating: 2.0

"Whether it was the departure of guitarist and other main songwriter Alan Rigdon, Jesse Cash taking over songwriting duties or the move to Sumerian Records, the band went through a metamorphosis."



You need an "or" before "Jesse".



"On their fifth album though it is with great happiness to report that some of that old magic has finally returned."



You need a comma after "album", and another after "though".



"The first two things that are noticeable is the production is less polished and the mix places the vocals front and centre with the rest of the instruments revolving around them."



The "is" should be replaced with "are" or "are that". The sentence would flow better with a comma after "polished".



"Consequently the album feels very vocal driven but not at the expense of the other instruments."



You need a comma after "consequently", and one after "driven" would be preferable.



"The lack of extra polish makes it feel as if the instruments are bleeding into one other in the more chaotic, texturally interesting sections and brings a feeling of organic chaos and atmosphere that's been missing from the last two records."



You need a comma after "sections". Change "that's" to "that has", as "that's" is more commonly a contraction for "that is". Add the paragraph that follows to end of this paragraph, as those two sentences don't need to be their own paragraph.



"That being said this album isn't without it's faults." its*



"his riff writing and arrangement lacks the nuances of Alan Rigdon's songwriting"



This should be "his riff-writing and arrangements lack the nuance of Alan Rigdon's songwriting"



"(see 'Snowblood' and 'Gungrave' for examples)"



The staff members on the site prefer song titles to be italicized instead of quoted.



"To answer the question is this a return to form though?"



This should be "To answer the question of whether this is a return to form..." or something similar. The statement shouldn't be phrased as a question. Take "Recommended" out at the end; it's not necessary.

Edits complete, hopefully it's better now.

> You need an "or" before "Jesse".

no he doesn't, it would feel more clunky to say "or" twice in a row like that

> You need a comma after "album", and another after "though".

he only needs one after "though" not "album"

okay resident imma hit you with some pointers as well (to complement get low's/shift the focus slightly to what i think is more important) :]



- opening lines have some beautiful imagery!

- "clean sections would appear as if from nowhere" i'd say 'would appear from/out of nowhere' flows a bit better

- "and yet still sound" yet pretty much = still so you can cut either

- i'd suggest breaking up the second line as there are three semicolons in there. replace the last one with a full stop and cut 'and' and it'd look better i think!

- "What they'd lost in the process was that spontaneity, that organic sound, that controlled chaos that made the..." this feels a bit clunky due to the many 'that's, try something like: 'What they'd lost in the process was the organic sound, spontaneity and controlled chaos that made...'

- 'it is with great happiness to report that some of that old magic..' consider replacing with something along the lines of 'thankfully, some of that old magic...' for ~smoothness~

- "The first two things that are noticeable is the production is less polished and the mix places the vocals front and centre with the rest of the instruments revolving around them.": this sentence is quite awkward as it requires somewhat grammatical structuring (eg 'is that the production is less polished and that the mix focuses on..'), so if this happens i'd suggest just breaking it up into two sentences (one covering the first point and one covering the second). there's a couple more of these throughout the rev, so my main advice here is that short(er) sentences are always a safe bet!

- 'there's a real sense of drama and energy...' nice! you could perhaps elaborate a bit on this as the paras pretty short and it's an interesting point

- 'Yes but there's still work that needs to be done for the band to ascend to further heights. Recommended.' add a comma after yes and you can delete 'recommended' as that's clear from the rating/review :]



hope this helps a bit, either way: nice work n keep it up!!

"Whether it was the departure of guitarist and other main songwriter Alan Rigdon, or Jesse Cash taking over songwriting duties or the move to Sumerian Records, the band went through a metamorphosis."



You can take the "or" back out and put a comma after "duties". I read the sentence incorrectly.

can you critique the grammar of this sentence:

"Sm0nking on that pressureeeeeee, m/ m/ m/ P-P-P-P-Poggeritos"

Album Rating: 4.5

definitely impressed with this given how much i loathed Neon because of how obnoxiously stale it was. credit to these guys for finally mixing up their sound.

Album Rating: 3.5

for sure noler

- 'Sm0nking on that...' consider replacing 'on' with 'for', works a bit better

- 'pressureeeeee' is spelled with one s

- 'm/ m/ m/' nothing to add here that's just sick

Cheers guys will make the edits in the morning as I'm fucking tired.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah, this is so far for me atleast album of the year.. let's see what other bands bring to the table.. VOLA don't disappoint me in May .. and Ne Obliviscaris sometime in this year

These negs are pretty shitty and unwarranted don't know what that's about, even if you disagree with the review it's hardly poorly written.

Album Rating: 2.0

yeah a couple grammar issues here and there but his points come across quite well

love the fact that Get Low neg'd the review for grammar issues and then told him the line "On their fifth album though it is with great happiness to report that some of that old magic has finally returned" should be written as ""On their fifth album, though, it is with great happiness to report that some of that old magic has finally returned" lol

Periphery and Meshuggah worship definitely going on. This genre has really lost my interest since 2013. Same formula of cramming polyrhythms and 0-0-000-0-0 open string abuse. Along with all the usual tropes of the genre, I can't help but wonder if this will go the way of Nu-metal. Anyway, I don't know why I bothered with this album. I'll see myself out.
