The winner of the negative review competition is

Minus the Flair (Matt Wolfe) - for the new Sigur Ros album - http://sputnikmusic.com/review_26269

The review, while not really talking about pure musical reactions as much as I'd like made some pretty genius observations about Sigur Ros' schtick and made a compelling argument for the negative merits of the album. Also, it could use a little work on transitions and individual sentences but overall it was pretty great. Congratulations. You can post whatever avatar you want of a reasonable size or smaller and I'll give it to you. Mx should be giving you contributing reviewer status soon.

Honorable mentions:
•pianotuna - AJH - Como te Llama? - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_26179
•WillieFisterbut - Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise - http://sputnikmusic.com/review_26176
•mynameischan - Showbread - Anorexia Nervosa - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?p=26353

If you didn't win do not despair. There will be more contests.

Dude, way to be full of ****
I don't know if I've read your other reviews before, but I didn't particularly like this one. The first two paragraphs are wordy, self-indulgent, and add very little to the review.

I only got this yesterday and only heard it once, and it does seem boring, but I don't really like any of their albums all that much.
I went to read the review, and this gold down from the heavens

congrats Minus The Flair, dfelon pointed out the parts that mattered to improve your writing, so keep it up

At that point he did have it locked... not full of ****, just the truth.

yup. i was pretty critical of the review at first too, but he took it in stride, and ended up improving it significantly.

Great competition. Things like this are imperative for maintaining a community that is socially driven.

Well done to Matt, and the others.

Oh, well this is awesome. Thanks for the props guys, and for the advice and competition Dfelon. I'm in Kathmandu right now but I'll be back in a week and a half, have some half written reviews (there's not much to do in the Himilayas besides walking) which I'll finish and put up when I get back. And I'll find a new avatar for then too. Yeah, thanks a lot, much appreciated.

I had it first you squirrel beater. I would have just kept the same one but bigger, it is amazing album art. http://0day.kiev.ua/uploads2/1207964462_poster.jpg

But alright, I'll have this one. I can't resize it cos I'm still in Kathmandu. http://www-tc.pbs.org/wnet/americannovel/timeline/images/kerouac_pic.jpg

Or this one, whatever's easier. http://www.lumberjackmordam.com/covers/0992026-2_200x200.jpg
