Review Requests

[Jom]

Is there a record you would like to see reviewed that isn't currently in the database or you would like to see another opinion of? Post your requests here.

Here's how the thread will work for the time being:

1. A list of unfulfilled requests will be kept in the second post.
2a. Any user can call dibs on claiming a review request; first come, first serve.
2b. Exception to 2a: when the requester asks for a staff/contributor review.
3. Users should dib only one request at a time - approx. 1 week deadline.

The guidelines are only guidelines at this point and will prove to be malleable if necessary.

Format, for now:
Artist - Album Name (Requester) Dibber

I have the Klimt 1918 album and it's pretty good. If no one else wants to review it I will, but it won't be until after Mogwai is released at least.

[StreetlightRock]

I'd love to write that Okkervil River review.

Oh noes! lol, a few seconds too short.

[IsItLuck?]

[StreetlightRock]

You sure man? I could just as easily write one for Tricky's Knowle West Boy?

[IsItLuck?]

Can someone review Banner Pilot - Resignation Day

I really like it and think it deserves to be reviewed. I reviewed the bands first album, and added Resignation Day, but I'm not up to review it, plus don't have the time. There is a link to the stream in the band's last news article.

Edit: Spoon of Grimbo got this

[Cesar21]

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=27786

Released January this year, but hasn't gotten a lot of attention and would like to read up on what it sounds like.

[kattunlover69]

[beans]

can we have someone review the capharnaum album fractured?

its not even new but its good as hell and it hasnt even been touched

[notwillfellmarsy]

I'd like someone, staff or someone that doesn't suck, to review Everything is Borrowed by The Streets, i know it's not out in the U.S. but i think it's out elsewhere...if not i'll do it but my hip-hop review ability is, as they say in the hip-hop world, whack

[badtaste]

Requesting a 5/5 review of Stargazer's "The Scream That Tore the Sky".
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=31019

I'd do it myself but I've no idea how to describe the awesomeness that it is.

[Metalikane]

It would be absolutely awesome if someone reviewed "Deathwish" by Mayhew the Traitor (staff or contributor preferred). I'd do it, but I know them, and biased reviews don't always give an accurate representation. I'm not that great at reviewing anyway. They're a legitimately signed band, so don't think I'm trying to push the "hometown heros" or something. If I had to put a tag on them it would be something like: folk, folk-rock, alt-country, or something like that. They're good. Seriously.

[Minus The Flair]

Took a while, sorry about that. Got there eventually.

I'm gunna request a review for: Mono & World's End Girlfriend - Palmless Prayer / Mass Murder Refrain

[beans]

ok so i want someone to review the new bleeding through album (if its not too much to ask), but at least someone who has heard their previous efforts

[Altmer]

I'd do Bleeding Through but it'd be my first acquaintance with them.

k the 2008 Laibach album is an interesting project which should get some attention

http://www.laibach.nsk.si/kunstderfuge.htm

Album is the laibachian interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's work The Art of Fugue (Die Kunst der Fuge). The majority of the material has been created already in 2006 and premierly performed the same year on June the 1st at Bachfest in Leipzig.

Bach himself lived and worked in Leipzig from 1723 till the end of his life in 1750. In this period he also wrote the Art of Fugue, one of his most mysterious and baffling works. The Art of Fugue is a collection of fugues and canons that display the full gamut of fugal transformational techniques, such as augmentation and diminution. The theory that the work was intended as an intellectual exercise rather than for performance is borne out by the fact that no instruments are specified in the score. But although the Art of Fugue (the title was not Bach's own) reveals Bach in his most academic and puzzle-solving guise, it is no mere pedantry and there is much here of great energy and inspiration. Since Bach did not specify any instrumentation, the big question is: what instrument or instruments should the Art of Fugue be played on? There are many keyboard recordings, but versions are available for everything from saxophone quartet to orchestra. Since the work is very much based on mathematic algorithms, Laibach decided to use computer and computer program as the key »instrument«, providing a very special electronic interpretation and showing that J.S. Bach with his work could as well be understood as the pioneer of electronic, techno, computer music.

I want Chan do to Jackson Browne's Solo Acoustic Vol. 2, as he did a great job with Vol. 1.

[Cesar21]

Someone please review the new Cynic.

Edit: Just noticed the release date... I thought it was already out cuz of the 91 ratings and 90 soundoffs. I downloaded it without knowing It hand't been release, not that it matters much. Anyways, I expect a staff would be reviewing it so I'll wait.

[kingsoby1]

I'd like someone, staff or someone that doesn't suck, to review Everything is Borrowed by The Streets, i know it's not out in the U.S. but i think it's out elsewhere...if not i'll do it but my hip-hop review ability is, as they say in the hip-hop world, whack

I'm probably going to do this, but be forewarned; I really don't like the album much.
