It seems I did but I forgot to download it. Alas, if you'd ever send it again I'd be like yay. I should send you those other tracks of hers that I have; if they're anything like the album, the album will be seven types of interesting.

I got the spud mods to get rid of that horrible description of him, if that's what you mean.

I second that, where I live school's only been cancelled once, 2 1/2 feet of snow. 3.5 is nothing, haha.

[Killtacular]

Because us southerners are less equiped to deal with a little bit of snow, whereas you folks have fancy shmancy plows and things of that sort to deal with it.

We rarely get snow, and when we do, it's usually very little in comparison to our neighbors to the north, but since we seldom see it, we get a free pass out of skool.

[Shadows]

I remember hearing about a southern snow story years ago. Some city in New Mexico got about 1" of snow and virtually all activity in the entire city shut down for the day. It was the first time any of the residents had seen snow.

I <3 living in the north.

[Storm In A Teacup]

3.5 inches of snow that all stuck to the road and made the streets really slick.

It sucked, it was all powdery and crud.



Setlist for band I might be joining-
Green Day- F.O.D. and Jesus of Suburbia
The Who- My Generation
The Beatles- The End, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Foo Fighters- All My Life- I don't really like that song too much though, I might decline since one of the guitarists refused playing any Coheed & Cambria :eek:

Plus a couple others, and then the 2 guitarists have 10 songs written, but no bass parts to them. I'm looking foward to writing some nifty bass solos that I plan on sticking in the songs. :)

I'm tougher than everyone here. I already have about 40 cms of snow around my house.

This drop of subscriptions here in the forums is so not cool... :upset:

I used it to monitor all activities here in the Site forum with a glance at my UserCP. Though I can understand the reasons, I wish I could get it back :(

[Storm In A Teacup]

What are these reasons? :angry:

[Jom]

Obviously, when the mods and the admins were discussing the reasons for removing subscriptions, they immediately came to the most logical, coherent solution:

"Hey, let's piss off Kripes!"

[Damrod]

What are these reasons? :angry:

Well, it decreases load for one. Since the subs have been kicked, the site seems more reliable.

And to an extend it has security reasons in the current situation. As mod accounts can possibly be hijacked scaringly easy with the right means, it provides a way to not let the hijacker see special forums (mod forum for example) from thread or forum subscriptions

[masada]

Yeah, so I never got a ride to the show at 6. I waited until 8 and I gave up, which is when it was supposed to start.

Turns out, the only person in the two bands playing that has a car is totally drunk, so they had no way of getting me there really.

Not only that today, but my sister's car broke down in the parking lot of a restaraunt in a twon a half hour away, and we sat for over and hour trying to find out what was wrong and waiting for my mom to come pick us up.

My day sucked.

IamHoppus just wasted a huge amount of space in a MCR review and is referring to me by my real name. Wonderful. :-/

Meh, maybe, but when you review serious metal it's a waste of time talking about the lyrics unless they have some kind of bigger meaning, like with Behemoth.

Hehe, those two words don't work well with SOAD.

I had a 120 watt behringer amp once, it was good until it pooped out and totally stopped working. I haven't tried their pedals but I'll stick with my boss and dunlop pedals.

[Damrod]

I'd go Boss as well, but I can not afford them right now. But one or two peddals... that's within my possibilities.

The tuner looks interesting. It's a floor tuner like the TU-2 by Boss, but for about 80 bucks less

[Jawaharal]

TU-2 is what I have and it works wonderfully.

[pulseczar]

I don't like Boss pedals, I go with Electro-Harmonix and Digitech, better sound and quailty imo.

[Damrod]

OMG!!!!!

I stumbled across some great stuff. A string ensemble playing tributes to all kinds of bands. Mars Volta, Tool, A perfect Circle...

I think I finally found something I might review :)

It's insane who they cover. A huge share of modern bands. Some good, some excellent, some... not so interesting. I will review some of their stuff for sure if I find the time in the next days.

[Jawaharal]

I don't like Boss pedals, I go with Electro-Harmonix and Digitech, better sound and quailty imo.
electro harmonix is good. I like their synth pedal and equalizer. Digitech is alright. I only use a whammy from them. But the boss loop station is golden and one of the best pedals I've used.

Boss > Digitech

[pulseczar]

pfff you and your drugs. The Boss vs Digitech thing is debatable, but EH is my favourite.

I once watched a five hour marathon of Battle for Ozzfest. It was the whole season, from 12am to 5am. I just started to watch the first two, then I was gonna go to bed. Hmm, I think I'll just watch this next one to see how it turns out, but then it's bedtime. Oh man, I gotta see what happens there. Just one more episode.

Repeat ad nauseum until the whole season was over. Good times.

Hey Twist, I just got done reading your review. Nice job.

Hope you don't get too lonely at home :naughty:

If I reviewed Mezmerize, I'd completely trash it. It's a horrible album; their worst yet.

Everyone should review it. Seriously. I think I may do it purely because people are bitching about how many reviews there already are, and I'm in that kind of mood.

Twist, if I were in your position, I'd be in the best mood I've been in for years. I value every second I have by myself here.

Kripes, let me get a few things straight here. First of all, there's been too many reviews on Mezmerize. Second... my review's much better than yours, my review can walk right through the door, with a feeling so pure, it's got you screaming back for more. But seriously, my review shows that I'm inbetween the people who like Mezmerize and the people who hate it.

I get to the bluegrass bar and it turns out it's been double booked and another band is going to play, so I talk to the guy and tell him I was promised till 7:00 and he says "sorry". So I ask him to at least let me play 5 songs and he says alright. So I get up there and start playing blackbird and then he starts encouraging the crowd to boo me and throw insults and stuff. So since he decided to handle things so imaturely I reacted the same way. I started breaking equipment and turned over a table or two. I ended up being thrown out of the place but I put I still put up a fight.

Bluegrass bars can bite me.

I'm not sure if I did my SOAD-Mezmerize review right. I think I was trying to make it some big thing when I should have just reviewed it like a normal overall review. I don't think it should be deleted, maybe I should edit it and change it all around. I don't know.

[Damrod]

Well, you can always edit it, so... :)

Work right now is getting boring. I did all the interesting stuff already, and all that's left today is waiting for the darn slow program to compute the stuff I fed it.

I have to go through 9 runs of data creation, and each run takes at least 10 to 15 minutes. Though it's nice to get money for sitting around... it still sucks. I can not listen to music here, or anything like that :upset:

I never lie *lying*

I have never worn a kilt in my life, why the hell do people think of Scotland in that way?

Stereotypes. The other Scot that I talk to on MX is a raving drunk on the weekends, which leads to some hysterical conversations. Plus, he admits to wearing a kilt, which just expounds on the stereotype, heh.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if people outside of the US thought of American MXers as fat, lazy, love to start wars, and whose citizens who eat McDonalds 24/7.

Another example are the Brits. The general stereotype is that they talk funny, say "Hello, poppet" and "Fo' o'clawk, tea toime!" all the time, and have bad teeth.

The Australians drink Foster's, put shrimp on the bar-bay, go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef all the time, talk like the Crocodile Hunter, and have pet koalas.

The New Zealanders **** sheep and eat kiwis.

The French are pussies.

The list could go on and on, heh.

[Neoteric]

Stereotypes. The other Scot that I talk to on MX is a raving drunk on the weekends, which leads to some hysterical conversations. Plus, he admits to wearing a kilt, which just expounds on the stereotype, heh.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if people outside of the US thought of American MXers as fat, lazy, love to start wars, and whose citizens who eat McDonalds 24/7.

Darn timezones, you should learn to sign out =/

I'm always logged into my private AIM address and MSN while at uni because I can seem if people left me messages or e-mails. It's rather humorous when the Aussies leave me messages at 3 or 4 in the morning, then forgetting that I'm 14-15 hours behind them.

*shakes fist*

But at least it leaves me with something humorous to read in the morning when I wake up, because they usually leave a quick joke or witty response to my away message.

On MSN, if I have my status set as "brb" or "away," chances are I'm at my computer. However, if I'm set as "Busy" or "Not available," then I'm not at my computer.

Well, you can always edit it, so... :)

maybe I should edit it and change it all around. I don't know.

It's like 3/4 rednecks and 1/4 yankees from Michigan (as a result of the Saturn plant).

Yeah it is, actually. Just like how their women are extremely hairy and have moustaches.

75%-25% doesn't exactly bode well for you guys, either.

Okay, Scruples, I knew that someone was excited. I was just seeing who specifically, and trying to spark a new conversation. Scruples, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. :-/

[ocelot-05]

Oh, and I'm British and my teeth are fine. :D

They aren't that white, but that's not because I don't take care of them. It's just that I've been drinking 2-5 cups of tea a day for nearly my whole life.

Ugh, what? I don't know. Oh yeah, Vince Neil-Exposed. Well, nah. I'll do this.

Or I could do some Mike Oldfield?

I don't think I've actually ever heard an Oklahoman in person with a country accent, even the rednecks, those that I know.

I don't think I've actually ever heard an Oklahoman in person with a country accent, even the rednecks, those that I know.

My defunct aunt's new husband out of nowhere (I'm not going to get into details here because she just pisses me off) is named Earl and he has the thickest, most extreme Southern dialect I've ever heard, Oklahoman or not. He's characteristically got that Southern hospitality, and he's some lame Baptist minister, but his dialect and his diction are hysterical. So hysterical, in fact, that I laughed at him when I first met him.

When I first met this guy (actually, it was the first time my entire extended family was going to meet this guy... we basically disowned this aunt because she was my mom's brother's wife [who died of cancer] and she went off and randomly married this dude), he had on a plaid long-sleeve shirt, jeans, the biggest God damn beltbuckle I've ever seen, tassles, boots, and a big, black hat. He also had this humongous ring on, so whenever he talked and shook hands, it was a riot.

"Hyuh, hyuh, hyuh, howdy ma'am, mah nayme's iz Earl, blessid ta meetcha, hyuh hyuh hyuh [rinse and repeat for all my aunts]."

And when he said Grace, I thought I was going to **** a brick or start cracking up in the middle of it.

"Dear Gawd, Hev'n'ly Farther, n our Lahrd Jebus Krist, we thankye fahr yer blessins', yer koindniesses... [to make a long prayer short]... n we happ'ly recoeive yer gifts from her boun-tay! Thriew Jebus Krist, arr Lahrd, AH-MIEN!"

When we finally all mustered an amen (that wasn't as enthusiastic as this guy was), my bottom lip had teeth marks.

This guy was a complete stranger, saying grace at a family function, blah blah blah. It was awkward. But bah Gawd, it was fun-nay, hyuh hyuh hyuh.

You have to wait for it to load after you click the "Edit" button. It just seems lie it's not working because it loads within the post itself.

In the near future I'll be reviewing alot of good country albums. We obviously need some more twang around these forums.

I'm discovering Podcasts. There is some interesting stuff out there. I should look for Podcasts on decent music and stuff like that

[Shadows]

Yep, their lyrics are drawn directly from Lord of the Rings, and they dress up like orcs, elves, hobbits, and whatnot for their shows and pictures. Possibly the cheesiest band (image-wise) to have ever existed.

Yeah, for sure. Cheesy as hell. I saw pictures of 'em in a mailorder magazine/catalogue. I had to laugh pretty hard when I saw them. They are kind of... like Slipknot, but more funny. :)

It is hilarious. Sadly, the music is as poor as their outward appearence, with a mere few redeeming factors.

Now for the fourth albums of my two-band entourage.

[Storm In A Teacup]

After my next review, I plan on reviewing a few metal albums.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter, who draws equally from mid-20th Century American folk (Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan) and 80s British pop (the Smiths). Read the review when the time comes, right.

Don't review Megadeth as I have to get through a bunch of Megadeth reviews in a month as then I'll have to give the CD's back to my guitar teacher :(

[pulseczar]

Well since we're all revealing our secrets about oncoming reviews, I'm reviewing Genesis - From Genesis to Revelation. Don't expect any praise. Or do expect some, just to make you mad :)

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think I've seen more Megadeth reviews submitted on this site in the last few months than any other band. And I finally plan on listening to one of their albums today, maybe.

[Shadows]

I've also been seeing a hell of a lot of Megadeth reviews. It's too bad I hate them.

[morrissey]

Why have you only listened to it once, Sylvia? Did you not like it, or have you just forgotten about it?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Oh, I liked it; I've just been busier than an ox during harvest season somewhere in India. Right now all I have access to is Back To Basics.

[Jawaharal]

****. I got a 65 on my math exam.

Oh, and Megadeth blow so hard.

[Hatshepsut]

i need help, i submitted my first review on this account a few days back but it never showed on the new reviews list and no one except me has seen it :upset: it's a straylight run review. can someone do something?

[morrissey]

A sputnik mod needs to approve it. Should happen soon enough.

edit: unless it sucked and they've rejected it. Wait for Med or Damrod to update you.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well, first off look at your user name, then Fear Factory, and quite possibly Cradle of Filth.


My next review though is Dream Theater-When Day and Dream Unite, which will be turned in today or tomorrow.

Oh man, you're doing Shadows Fall? :(

Is it the War Within?

[Jawaharal]

I don't really have the time to review much anymore :/

Hey, ShadowsFallen, stop trying to be so HxC and give a decent defination of black metal. I dare ya.

Good.

I'm ahead of you on that one. These ignorant ****ers are pissing me off. Maybe it's just my metal elitism showing thorough, but there are next to no people here who have the first ****ing about what black metal is.

I shouldn't even have wasted my time giving a description to that guy.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I almost shat a brick when I read the post saying Slipknot isn't nu-metal.

Remind me why Slipknot is being talked about in that review again. :confused:

[Dave de Sylvia]

I don't know what black metal is, so I just use the words 'death' and 'black' interchangably. I've got to be right some of the time :cool:

I almost shat a brick when I read the post saying Slipknot isn't nu-metal.
I dunno, a case could probably be made. Nu-metal is a pretty wide-ranging genre; there's a lot of bands which could be put into other places.

[Shadows]

I have no problem when people don't know what it is, but when a guy like him posts in reviews telling just how much he loves black and death metal when he doesn't know ****, I get pissed.

Like I am now.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Okay, here's the official Kripes' review plan's list:

Dream Theater-When Day and Dream Unite
Matchbook Romance-Stories and Alibis
Shadows Fall-The War Within
Mudvayne-Lost and Found (maybe, have to look at other reviews of it besides Jom's)
Cradle of Filth-Undecided
Fear Factory-Transgression

[Shadows]

I desperately need to re-write my Shadows Fall reviews. Back in my day, TxT reviews were the thing to do. :(

None of my reviews except The Art of Balance does the band any justice.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I wish you wouldn't re-write it, that way mine will seem so much better than yours. :D

I'm only kidding though, it'll be tough to do the band justice.

[Shadows]

I've been meaning to re-do them for a very long time.

I saw it to and copied it to comment on in here as well. I knew this would happen. I think that Wave and Cravinov are the same person, or at least Cravinov and Sick.Twisted.(something else.).

I think so too. The two guys in Cravinov's favorites list with the periods in between every word.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Okay Kripes, we'll leave you people to your poor judgement.


He's talking about how he thinks their black metal. :lol:

As much as I enjoy proving him wrong, I hate him.

[Cravinov13]

I don't know weither to be amused or insulted. You people are reaaaaaaaaal rich, you know that? Just peachy, you can't even let a guy have his own opinion. Who's being a bunch of low lifes now?

Fine, let's all lol at Cravinov. I wouldn't be so hostile if you people wern't such assholes, constantly attacking me and free to judge opinions.

I just found your review of a Straylight Run album if that's what you're talking about (submitted on December 12). Because I've been really busy recently I thought Damrod was approving all of them, but it looks like the approval mechanism's broken again. I'll get mx to look at it and when I can do I'll approve it. It's a good review though.

yeah that's the one. thanks, i just wanted to know what was going on. take as much time as you guys need.

i've got dibs on Muse- Hullabaloo, i'm halfway through mine so if anyone submits one before i do they will hang from a crane by their testicles or oth sore hangy bits of their body, they, they will be given papercuts over every millimetre of their body and immmersed in a mixtuer of citric acid, vinegar and salt water

thats how annoyed i'll be if anyone submits one before monday

I find it surprising that you guys can flame Crav all you want in this thread, but I flame Hoppus once in that Green Day review and get a banning. Ha

yeah, but thats because i was actually not a bad commenter and didn't warannt the flame, not too mention i had been getting picked on and wasn't flaming bands. crav, onn the other hand, flames every band he has a disliking for the goes schizo if someone says anything bad about any of his fave bands

But if this play involves using words like "hullabulloo", maybe it's better that you stay away.

Jesus Christ, I leave uni, drive for a few hours, come back, and everyone's relapsed into posting like morons again. What is the deal with some of you? Act your God damn age, not your bloody shoe sizes. It's ridiculous to log on to Sputnikmusic and see that very little comments are about the artist or review, and it's a bunch of sophomoric fellating of people or terrible flaming that goes nowhere. I don't understand how difficult it is to act responsibly. I'm not singling out anyone, but since you guys are the regs and obviously give a damn about the site, represent the site as you should. If you think posting like a dicktit is representative of a quality Sputnikmusic member, then you have another thing coming.

In short: I strongly encourage people to re-evaluate their goals and intentions for logging onto Sputnikmusic. Please, if you feel the need to act like children, then you should do the right thing and go outside and play or go running or stretch and get off the Internet. None of the flaming that commences there is remotely funny, and it drags the site down into being a throwback similar to The Pit. Honestly, some reviews have been featured on artists' sites because of the professional degree that these reviews had, and then to read the comments between two people carrying on about how one person is gay for liking this band and the other person saying, "dude ur mom is gay lol," makes me cringe.

Everyone, please. It doesn't take much to control yourselves. Have some restraint, for God's sake and mine.

I was watching/reading something about Tipper Gore's crusade to make CDs with explicit content illegal for people under the age of 18 to buy. Her argument was that children shouldn't be able to purchase albums by bands like Blink182 and 2LiveCru. In retort, the person commentating on her crusade made the good point, "who over the age of 18 listens to Blink182 or 2LiveCru?"

Jom, internet forums are mostly used by people under the age of 18. Of course most people are going to act like retards. And frankly acting like an idiot can be fun sometimes, however, I do agree that the focus should shift away from pats on the shoulder for mediocre reviews and throwing around stupid jokes. I just feel that your expectations are unreasonable considering the demographic you're dealing with.

This doesn't happen that often, so I don't think its that big of a deal, even though it really shouldn't be happening altogether. People make mistakes.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'd like to apologize anyway, but DFelon has a point. It's been proven that a persons brain hasn't fully matured until even the age of 21. Still no excuse for me or anyone else.

This wasn't just about the CoF review was it?

[Dave de Sylvia]

Act your God damn age, not your bloody shoe sizes.
Easy on the cliches there, chum.

Hey here's an idea: Let's not flame morons. I switch off my computer sometimes.

Still no excuse for me or anyone else.
Well, why did you say it then?

Seriously, being 14 is no excuse for making the site look like crap. If you want to argue, do it in here. Or do it on aim. Or die. Whatever.

It happens all over sputnik. I almost got into it with Cravinov in his Demon Hunter review when he called me "a jerk-off CoB fanboy", but I never said anything back.

Actually, I don't think I had any bad postings that would be construed as spam or flaming except that "pwnage" comment and I even tried to end the arguement in the CoF review.

I've been on mxtabs since I was 13 and musicianforums since I was 15. I'm now 19. The way I treat the website and present myself here has changed drastically since I was first here as has my taste in music, everything really. Nobody holds it against people for being immature. I still am. I bet in 5 years I'll look back at a lot of the things I do now and cringe a little bit. All I'm saying is there's a certain amount of stupidity that comes with posting on an online forum. It's just a reality.

Out of curiosity have you heard Kayo Dot or Maudlin of the Well?

No.

Who are they?

[morrissey]

There should be an option to link to Sputnik reviews without seeing the attached comments.

[Killtacular]

I was watching/reading something about Tipper Gore's crusade to make CDs with explicit content illegal for people under the age of 18 to buy. Her argument was that children shouldn't be able to purchase albums by bands like Blink182 and 2LiveCru. In retort, the person commentating on her crusade made the good point, "who over the age of 18 listens to Blink182 or 2LiveCru?"
:lol:
I think that's the funniest thing I've read in quite some time.

[Kingofdudes]

I really need to check them out

/reminder to put on RYM wishlist tomorrow

[DFelon204409]

No.

Who are they?

Well, though they're not your "style" of metal they are mind-blowing metal bands that you need to listen to. Maudlin of the Well produced three jazz metal (sort of) albums and then "broke up" but really reformed as Kayo Dot so that they could shed their metal reputation and write songs that are modern classical songs with a heavy metal influence. I just bumped the review I did of Choirs of the Eye. Check it out. IM if you want a sample.

I just looked them up on metal archives. They're listed as avant-garde metal. sounds like something I could enjoy. I'm always up for new music. I can't recieve transfers through AIM, otherwise I'd hit you up for that sample. But I do have soulseek, so I'll check out some of their stuff. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

[Kingofdudes]

Speaking of avant-garde..... do any of you enjoy Solefald?

[DFelon204409]

At that site you'll find the full song "Marathon," which unfortunately is one of the weakest two tracks from Choirs of the Eye and a bunch of clips from their new album that I feel, considering most of their songs range from 8-15 minutes long, are insufficient for understanding how the song works as a whole.

Jom, internet forums are mostly used by people under the age of 18. Of course most people are going to act like retards. And frankly acting like an idiot can be fun sometimes, however, I do agree that the focus should shift away from pats on the shoulder for mediocre reviews and throwing around stupid jokes. I just feel that your expectations are unreasonable considering the demographic you're dealing with.

Sure, understood. However, I don't think it's that much to ask of some users to be just a bit more patient instead of having an itchy "Post Comment" trigger. I'm not saying everyone should post like Zebra ("[This is what I think of the album/artist.] [double space] [This is what I think of the review itself.]", but I do certainly think that some comments, such as the examples you mentioned, could be curbed.

At any rate, I definitely respect your last sentence and work on it, even if I think that there is room for improvement there.

I hate it when I get in a lazy mood like I'm in right now. I've got a half finished 1044 word Final Fantasy IX OST review and a half finished Tangerine Dream review waiting to be completed.

On a side note, I think I've fallen in love with Tangerine Dream. Listening to Phaedra for about 2 hours straight has really helped me understand what all the fuss is about with all those early ambient albums. Kraftwerk (and it's fun fun on the Autobahn) ain't got nothing on Tangerine Dream baby.

*Happy winter break to me and anyone else off from school!*

I hate my school.......horribly. It's nothing but stereotypical idiot, bored white teens saying they're from 'the ghetto', but they drive BMW's and have $5000 stereos. Oh yeah, and the kids who only go to school to go to Agriculture, so they can smoke and drive a John Deer all day.

[Kingofdudes]

Where do you live? I love my high school.

Im in such a great mood right now :D

My tip is, don't do reviews when you are in a lazy mood. You're reviews end up being average (has learned from experience)

[DFelon204409]

NO POOFACE! You are reviews end up being average!

But on a more serious note, I only write reviews when I'm pumped about a particular album and sometimes even if I'm not pumped about a particular album, I'll start writing and BAM! I'm in the groove and excited to write.

[Storm In A Teacup]

But how can you be pumped about reviewing an album in which you are going to rate it average or below that?

[Jom]

Some people love trashing an album because it sucks. Whenever I write monologues that have a certain edge to them, I can't wait to see the reactions of the audience when I trash people, to see if they agree or not. It makes writing all worthwhile to get any reaction from them, be it surprise or "Hell yeah!" or what have you.

The quality of the review I mean.

[DFelon204409]

But how can you be pumped about reviewing an album in which you are going to rate it average or below that?

I was really interested in how I personally interpreted the As Cities Burn album because I had such conflicted feeling about the album. After writing how they were like Shai Hulud and how they were like Underoath I came to the realization that I found them mediocre despite their catchiness. I used my confusion about a mediocre/bad album to fuel the writing of the review.
