Note - Please post in here when you have put up a review you had dibs on. It just makes it easier to edit the list when something need to be taken out of this post.

[GurS]

isn;t there one of these already stickied at the top of the page?

[Zappa]

There is, but it takes a lot of paging through to find what's still in the request queue, and what has been dibbed etc.

We'll have all that on the first post, and it'll be a fresh start for additional reviews.

[Bartender]

Yep, it's all above board.

[GurS]

My bad.

In that case:

Can someone review me "Tattooed millionaire" by Bruce Dickenson? cheers

[robnathanson]

I'd like to see a reivew of the Los Lonely Boys Cd
plzthx:)

[Iai]

Done, and I added all the requests and dibs from the last 3 pages of the last thread. I'll just go cross-reference the first post with the Reviewed List.

[The JoZ]

Dibs of mine -


TSO - Christmas Eve and Other Stories
The Section - String Tribute to Tool: 2
Nickelback - Silver Side Up (Although I don't think I'll see any competition for this trash :lol: )

[Bartender]

Done, and I added all the requests and dibs from the last 3 pages of the last thread. I'll just go cross-reference the first post with the Reviewed List.

Determination is up now. I think that's it.

[Well_Respected_Man]

hmmmmm

I call dibs on The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers

I started it a while ago but haven't worked on it since, hopefully I'll finish it.

Edit: oh shi I have the Fugazi ablums :cool:

[Iai]

Just added another dib of my own - Pearl Jam's Rearviewmirror.

[Shadows]

I'm calling Skinny Puppy - VIVIsect VI and the Emperor/Enslaved split, which Iaia already mentioned (sorry about that).

EDIT: Dammit you're right, Elevenfris is already done.

Everybody go post in my God Forbid - Determination review NOW. One single post. This is ridiculous. :angry:

[Dark Hero]

I'm calling Skinny Puppy - VIVIsect VI and Lykathea Aflame - Elevenfris if it isn't already done.

Elvenefris is already done.

[Well_Respected_Man]

BTW, I love the new setup Iai, it makes CD reviews way more interesting.

I have an idea too. Once the album is done on the dibbed list it should be moved to a recently done list or turned into a link on the dibbed list for a short amount of time just so people know it's done.

[Shadows]

Elvenefris (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228522)
Yes, I know it's already done. Thanks for making me look like an idiot guys. You don't have to keep rubbing it in. :upset:

[Bartender]

Sorry. When I started constructing that post, you still didn't know, is all.

[Shadows]

Understood. Now I feel stupid for mailciously attacking you when you didn't know. Man, this just isn't my day.

[Jom]

Can I have dibs on Mudvayne's "Lost and Found?" I'll obey the rules and review it either on the day of or after it's released.

[Bartender]

How long til it's due?

[Jom]

How long til it's due?

Early 2005 :lol:

/:upset:

[Bartender]

You could probably take dibs on it a little bit closer to release. Provisionally though, no, there's no problem.

[Jom]

You could probably take dibs on it a little bit closer to release. Provisionally though, no, there's no problem.

No, that's very fair. I was going to do the same for Cold's new album, but there's no definitive timetable for its release, what with all the band shakeups and record-label switching. Mudvayne has a more defined release date, so I figured that it would be safer to take dibs on it now... but you have a point.

I will re-surface when the date is clearly defined.

[Scott Herren]

I'll dibs The Cure.

[AfroMan]

I already have dibs on "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic.

:cool:

[Iai]

Dibs on Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths.

Bartender - I've edited into the Reason For Editing box which post it's been done up to. Just makes it easier to keep track.

[Bartender]

Ah, nice idea.

[keep on phishin']

Dibs on:

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
ZZ Top - Rio Grande Mud
Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm gonna be working on:

Travis - 12 Memories
Snow Patrol - Final Straw (gotta keep that Britrock corner going!)

[Iai]

I thought Final Straw had been done?

[The Ashtray Girl]

Unless I'm going crazy, it's not in the reviewed list.

[Happymeal]

I'd like to request a review for a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album. *coughTangycough*

[Tangy zizzle]

I'd like to see a review of The New What Next by Hot Water Music.

If noones interested then I'll do it.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'd like to request a review for a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album. *coughTangycough*

Ok, I'll give it a go.

I'll do either Orange or Damage.

[Bartender]

Well it's not in the List, and a search shows up nothing.

[manuscriptreplica]

I want dibs on Francis the Mute by Mars Volta, please

It's release is only a few weeks away, so I don't think it's too early to dib

[Jom]

This is sort of pointless, because I really don't care if I get recognized, but I've been guilty of doing a lot of reviews-within-a-review because the first review was in my eyes incomplete or really lousy, so here's my list, but you are under no obligation to put me in the Hall of Fame at all:

Barenaked Ladies: "Everything to Everyone,"^ "Barenaked for the Holidays"^
Ill Nino: "Confession,"^ "Revolution/Revolucion"*
Slipknot: "Iowa"
In Flames: "Soundtrack to Your Escape"
Modest Mouse: "Good News For People Who Love Bad News"^

* = review being written tonight
^ = original review

I mean, again, I may have more review-within-a-review threads, but you're under no obligation to add me. I don't get repped anyway, so 'tis all good :lol:

EDIT: Bartender said to post here for the Hall of Fame thing, hope I didn't grossly misread somewhere.

Isn't it coming out in like February?

[Shadows]

I've got an upcoming review that I'm pretty excited about. I'm finally going to review something that I really hate, which will be a much needed breath of air for me. I'm kind of hoping it will turn into a thread made up purely of people trying to flame me. Make sure to post about how much of an *** I am when it's finished.

[manuscriptreplica]

I heard it was out before Christmas?

You don't really have to point out when you've finished a review any more, you know.

[Mekkalayakay]

Yeah, sorry about that. :( It was steadily making it's way down the page, and I didn't want it to go unnoticed.

[Badmoon]

I request more Minutemen albums.

[vallely2004]

I call dibs on Desert Sessions 7 & 8 and QOTSA - s/t

[Shadows]

To follow up on my last post, I call dibs on Limp Bizkit - Significant Other.
But I'll probably end up doing their entire discography.

[manuscriptreplica]

That's a pretty good CD, actually, I listened to it last week

I call undibs on Gorguts - Obscura. It is far too hard to review. Sorry guys

[YDload]

I will dib Korn- Life Is Peachy. Knowing their primary fanbase, I may be the only one who could give this review an objective look in the eye.

[karkuss]

Can someone review "Life of the Party" by The Taj Motel Trio?

[Shadows]

That's a pretty good CD, actually, I listened to it last week
Well, don't expect to hear too many good thing about it from me. I've had a long dark history with Limp Bizkit and have grown to loathe them intensely.

[Happymeal]

I will dib Korn- Life Is Peachy. Knowing their primary fanbase, I may be the only one who could give this review an objective look in the eye.

I know Tiger's a Korn fan, though I doubt he'd have the time to review it.


I call dibs on Pinback - Blue Screen Life once again.

[Bartender]

Do you have any regular reviews?

[Jom]

Do you have any regular reviews?

:confused: What do you mean by "regular?" Did I mistype somewhere?

The ones that don't have a symbol are reviews-within-a-review. The ^ denotes me being the threadstarter.

Did I not follow the format, is that what you mean? I can fix that, if applicable.

[Bartender]

Oh ok. No, I misread your post. Didn't realise the ^s were those you had started.

[Bartender]

Okay, you're added, with 6.

[Tangy zizzle]

I call dibs on Desert Sessions 7 & 8 and QOTSA - s/t

I'm already half way through it, but you can take over.

[Jom]

Oh ok. No, I misread your post. Didn't realise the ^s were those you had started.

Yeah, I wasn't very clear, I guess. Thanks for understanding. :)

I'll take dibs on Flaw's "Through the Eyes," Mushroomhead's "XX" and "XIII," Ill Nino's "Revolution/Revolucion," Riddlin' Kids's "Hurry Up and Wait," Spineshank's "The Height of Callousness," and Primer 55's "Introduction to Mayhem."

This should keep me busy, I'll try to knock off one review a night, depending on how much I have to study for final exams that are this week and next. This will put me at 13 when I'm all the way done :eek: but I'm having a fun time reviewing, it's a good stress reliever from all the school bullshit.

EDIT: I would appreciate it if one of the mods leave a message about if my reviews are satisfactory. I read the rules and feel like I'm following them, but I haven't gotten many comments or feedback, so I'm wondering is it because I'm writing too much and my format is too wordy, or that no one likes BNL or nu metal :lol:

[A Brain On Ska]

Can someone review "Life of the Party" by The Taj Motel Trio?

I've never done a review before but I'll try.

[Bartender]

Have a bit of a read around beforehand, so you have some idea of what kind of review is expected.

[A Brain On Ska]

Oh I have read around a lot and have been reading reviews here for a long time. I plan on spending a good amount of time in order to give the most informative review I can possibly give.

[Bartender]

Excellent.

[juggalotricksta]

is anyone doing the other stephen lynch cd?

[Bartender]

If they are, they haven't called dibs on it.

[YDload]

I said I would, but I probably won't. If you can do it first, then go ahead. Maybe someday I'll add my review in your thread then, but not anytime soon.

[Bartender]

Ah, sorry.

Yeah, mine have been slack recently too. Though You Are The Quarry should be up pretty soon, and since the Pearl Jam and Placebo ones are track-by-track, I can do those in a few spare minutes rather than having to do it one sitting. So they should be done pretty soon.

By the way, dibs on Buck 65's Talkin Honky Blues. :)

Write them in notepad or something, and save it often.

are BSP like Delays at all? If I really liked Delays - Wanderlust, and hadnt heard any other of their songs, would you recommend buyuing BSP on a whim? I've seen Decline of BSP at a cheap price

[Scott Herren]

British Sea Power is almost like Britain's answer the the new post-punk scene in America with bands like the Walkmen and Interpol. So in short, they are nothing like Delays, but you would still probably like them.

[blueyxd]

Well I don't know any Interpol or Walkmen.. but I feel bold, so I might give it a go anyway.

Maybe you could just review it as The Complete Works.., with a small paragraph noting briefly the pieces you don't feel like reviewing (basically whether they're good or not, some background on Varese), and then devoting the rest to the piece(s) you do want to talk about.

We'll see. Thanks for the snappy response.

[Scott Herren]

Dibs on Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

[Tangy zizzle]

Been done.

[Scott Herren]

It's not on the reviewed list though, hence the confusion.

[xizoesira]

Dibs on Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm.

[Bartender]

To hopefully clear this up once and for all; Astral Weeks is not done. It was done, but it was deleted from the List at Badmoon's request, along with three other of his reviews. So Scott can do it, if he wants.

[theNameless]

Sorry, I don't have the time or the patience to read through six pages of posts. How is "The Section: String tribute to Tool"?

[Bartender]

There's no requirement to read through the thread. You could either use the search function, though, or check the first post of the thread, where all current dibs and requests are listed.

Even better, you could check the Reviewed List, to see if it's been reviewed before.

I've written a review of "Millencolin - Life on a Plate". But when i try to post it the site says I can't make a new thread. Why can't I that?

Because they instituted a new feature where new users cannot post a thread for 24 hours, because too many people were signing up to spam.

I just cross-referenced the original post with the Reviewed List and took off a few albums that have already been done. :) My Buck 65 review will hopefully be up today.

[Bartender]

Thanks for that. I took off what I knew had been done from memory, but I couldn't be bothered to load up the List separately on dial-up and check.

If you want, you could just leave this thread to me.

I take it you're back home, then, if you're on dial-up?

[Bartender]

Yep. It's good being back home (having food in the house for once, and so on), but the slower internet is somewhat annoying.

I'll keep checking on this thread (if only because I'm still online so much, and it's something to do), but it'd be cool if you carried on helping out too.

What happened to changing your avatar to a different Dylan? I thought you were going to use the one you jerry-rigged for Iai2, once you were unbanned.

I want to dibs "Untouchables" by Korn, simply because I have half of a review already written, and I don't want anyone taking that away from me. It'll be up later today, most likely

Lately I seem to be putting off writing reviews more and more, but I'd like to call dibs on Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin.

Well, either way I've called dibs on it and it will be the next one I do.

I appreciate all that one guy does for me.

Here's an interesting one.

I got a compilation out from my college library to keep over the holidays. It's got tons of great songs on it, and it's really worth checking out. BUT, it came free with NME and therefore, is not available for general sale. It will, however, be available from me on Soulseek.

Am I allowed to review it?

meh, it's a cd, sounds good enough to me. It's probably easier to find than most of the black metal albums reviewed on here.

[Bartender]

Yeah, I don't see any reason why you couldn't review it.

Only possible problem would be that it may lead to people reviewing the free compilation CDs given away on various monthly magazines.

[br3ad_man]

Hopefully they don't review the backing track cds that come with Total Guitar.

[Iai]

If they make them available on Soulseek then I guess it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Of course that doesn't apply to Total Guitar CDs.

Guitar Techniques > Total Guitar anyway. :p

I hate guitar magazines. All they talk about is classic rock and how good the Darkness are.

If compilations are allowed, would I be able to do a Century Media compilation? Its really good and I've been thinking about it for a while...

[Bartender]

I don't know. See, this is the kind of thing I was worried about, it setting a precedent.

[Shadows]

Well if its going to cause any kind of problem, then I can just as well not do it. I'm not attached to it or anything.

[Bartender]

Well I meant that's what I was worried about with Iai's compilation.

I suppose it comes down to what compilation, individually, each time, because there's no problem doing actually released compilations (like Trustkill Records Blood, Sweat and Ten Years thing), but reviewing the random assortments of tracks you get attached to the front of magazines would seem like a bad idea, I think.

[Shadows]

Well, this one was actually released. A friend of mine bought it from somewhere and gave it to me.

But I'll just let it go. I might as well not do it is it will simplify things.

That's what I thought too. But I'll make it clear in the review that it's only available on Soulseek, and I was going to link to other album reviews too. The main reason I want to review it is there's it packed with bands that influenced Nirvana, and who blow them out of the water, so maybe some fanboys might get some good music out of it....

*wants dibs to expire so he can do the QOTSA review instead of valley2004*

Well, cause it's like this: JoZ dibbed his review for Trans-Siberian Orchestra on December 4th, and that's considerably more than two weeks ago. So wasn't I entitled to review it myself anyway?

[Iai]

Trying to blag it, eh, YD?

[The JoZ]

...Well, honestly, I think that's a load of crap either way.

Some of us had exams last week, and didn't have the time to write the review.

I mean, why should I have bothered to dibs it if in 10 days it wasn't going to matter? To me, the point of dibs is to say "Hey, I really want to review this album, but I can't do it at this time..."

If I had dibsed it, say a month ago, I don't think I'd have much of an argument, but 10 days is just atrocious.

[YDload]

All right then, just start a new thread. Bartender can probably merge my review under yours.

[The JoZ]

Yeah he said he would.

I'll have it up later tonight sometime.

[Bartender]

Well actually, it would probably be kind of anachronistic to have my thread in with yours. I could probably just re-post my review in your thread. Would that be a better idea?

Yeah, it would. Posts end up in a thread chronologically when they're merged, so (I think) it would end up as if The Joz had posted his review in your thread anyway.

As for dibs having a life span, well yeah, they do. They'd have to, or people could hold up reviewing for ages. I've always said "two weeks" (or a couple of weeks), but it wasn't meant as a solid thing, just a vague guideline, because it's just never actually come into play before.

[Dancin' Man]

But the time period is different for different people. A new person who comes in and makes a dibs is not going to be honored for very long because we have nothing to base it on. If a veteran who's written many reviews makes a dibs, waiting a month doesn't seem that out of the question because it will probably be a god reviews and they will do it. I would reccomend asking a veteran if you can steal their review when it's been 1 week to a month because thats a hazy period.

[Bartender]

All hail Fast Fingers, for having a decent solution.

[Iai]

Yngwie Malmsteem should be in M. :)

/not helping

It looks right to me, anyway. Besides, it'll fix itself after a while. If someone posts a new review with those letters, or requests one, someone can search to see if it's already been done before. And I'm sure the people who wrote the reviews will complain about their reviews going missing.

[Bartender]

Yeah, I thought that too, but I think we're including him in Y because Yngwie Malmsteen isn't his real name.

Yeah. Some of them are difficult to search for, though. Yes and ZZ Top in particular.

[Iai]

So is Bob Dylan in B?

See, this is why I complained when you re-ordered it. :angry:

[Iai]

Would've figured the last three would be under the Mothers Of Invention (like Freak Out!), but those were among those deleted.

[Bartender]

Thanks, Medopalis.

Freak Out (and others) were kept with Zappa because the artist is given on the album as Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Which I would have under F, but if Zappa himself is going to end up under Z, it's easier to keep all Zappa related albums with him.

So is Bob Dylan in B?

See, this is why I complained when you re-ordered it. :angry:

I re-ordered it because more people were complaining the other way around :angry:

:)

For whatever reason, general consensus was that Dylan be in D, yet Yngwie be in Y. I'd have kept it all dont by first name, but I suppose this is what a little democracy brings.
