[quote=Senor Whippy]Final proof that Jack White is the greatest musician in America today.[/quote]

Yeah i belive so.Compared to all the Emo and Metal trash they have on the radio.He can play Guitar,Bass,Drums,Piano,Marimba and i think the Violin too.You can't really say that about the Dashboard Confessinal frontman can you.This Message Edited On 08.12.05

I argee that Trent Reznor is a great song writer and he has a great band behide but that's five different people.Not one.I was gonna get the new NIN album but i got the new Foo Fighters and i'm really let down by it.

Why don't you just stop comparing people to Kurt Cobain. It's bad enough that I have to read a review that rambles on about nothing, while there is only one paragraph actaully discussing the music.

For the love of God!!!.Something Vague please get your head out of your arse all because your in the Top 15.I was actually correcting myself cause of all the bad comments i got yesterday about 'Babyshambles' and watching 'Blackpool lights' last night quite inspired me to make up with my band and i also saw a very rare talent on stage doing his job to a fantasic effect.2 people on here thought it was a good review apart from you.Sorry about 'only one paragraph actaully discussing the music' but it was quite rushed cause i had to go and see my sick granmother in hospital.So thanks for everything bitch.

Great review and great dvd , nice job.

I don't know it's a bit over the top.I prefer 'The Colour And The Shape' more.I love 'The Hands That Feeds' by NIN.This Message Edited On 08.12.05

OK...first of all, quite a nice review. Secondly, I'd like people to start calming down when using this site. I appreciate people taking the time to review CDs here (seriously), but the purpose of the comments section is to be constructive. Not to flame people. This goes for everyone. I'm not referring to anyone specific either.

Senor Whippy-I posted something like this in your review for The Rakes, but if you do a review in a rush, you might want to consider whether you want it posted immediately. You can just save it in Word or something, and post it later...no hurry, you know? That would just be a good way of cutting down on needless arguments in the comment section. And I sincerely hope your grandmother's OK as well.This Message Edited On 08.12.05

Thank You Med57 i'm sorry if i caused any harm and i'll try and re-install my Word program tomorrow.(Computer crashed yesterday)

I kind of agree with Senor Whippy. It seems that most people in the top 15 think that their oppinions are better than everyone elses. It also seems that they sometimes will comment on a cd review just to bash the reviewer and tell him how his or her tastes suck.

Really? Prove it.

Oh, it's called an opinion. I didn't bash his review. Is there anything wrong with not liking someone's review? Or are you just looking for an excuse to blame the Top 15 for everything on the site.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever told anyone that their tastes suck, unless it was in a joking manner. So stop going around criticizing the Top 15, and actually be a productive member of Sputnikmusic.

I argee with both of you (Kdig and Something Vague) but some people in the top 15 use their postition to make sure that the sites runs smoothly and others use their postition to mock those who are lower than them.Plus Something Vague you have never once gave me a positive comment.Other top 15 users have corrected me on my mistake or have put their opinons across without bashing the reviewer's musical taste.

I'm not criticizing all of the Top 15, im just saying that some of the Top 15 are pretty harsh on others.

For instance in Senor Whippy's review of Open Season by British Sea Power Scott Herren's first comment is "This review sucked."

Can't remember Iai.I will take criticism but not stupid comments like ''your review sucked and the band sucked Whippy dude'' or people just quoteing what i've said without giving a reason for doing so.

I have to agree with the top 15 guys on this the whole point of a review is to give us an in depth review of the material, not one short very poorly detailed paragraph and then two paragraphs explaining how Jack White is the 21st century Kurt Cobain. If i wanted to discuss Kurt Cobain I would do it in a Kurt Cobain forum, not a White Stripes cd review.

Album Rating: 5.0

this is so a great band i ve just seen them yesterday in paris its was the best concert in my whole life you know I luv it !!!!

IMO; this is the last descent live performance from the Stripes, it showcases all of their descent material from their previous four albums, and they are in excellent condition whilst playing it all.
after GBMS was released, I started dissliking them and this wsa confirmed when I saw the Glastonbury set. Their live appearance used to be very simple, just them, a few instruments, a few amps, and maybe the Peppermint Triple Tremolo thing. Now on the other hand, when they arrive onstage, the stage is littered with all sorts of instruments and crap painted on the back of the stage. They used to dress in very simple dress, anything red and white, but always just a simple top and trow combo, NOW, he wears that goddamn flowing jacket, and is it just me, or has Jacks' guitar playing gone severly downhill, because if you watch for instance, the solo on Jack The Ripper on the Blackpool Lights DVD, and then watch Jack STRUGGLING through Blue Orchid in the Glasto set, you can see that he has become quite sucky.

And yes, his new tone makes me crave blood.... his blood.

Album Rating: 5.0

Raw. One word to describe this... beauty. Absoulutely Immence. I am going a do a review on this sooner or later.
