theacademy: Lets Do A Thing Where We All Review The Same Album At Once

theacademy 02.01.13	suggestions (but obviously your nominations are more important): some lesser known drive-thru bands defunct/irrelevant early 00s metalcore or like http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/that-dog./17970/ http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Fake-Figures/37638/ http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/States/19537/ idk something random but not too random... something that might have gotten a mention on absolutepunk (if absolutepunk was even around when the album came out) idk lets just do it the front page will look funny we can make a day out of it and tweet about with tweets
theacademy 02.01.13	once we pick an album we'll set a date and then all review it on that date at like 4:00pm for some user (the user who suggested the winning album gets to pick the timezone where itll be 4:00 pm when we submit our reviews)
Masochist 02.01.13	The Apples In Stereo - 'Fun Trick Noisemaker' Catherine Wheel - 'Chrome' (Neither of which have a review)
theacademy 02.01.13	later i will make a poll i guess out of the nominations so ppl can vote
Atari 02.01.13	"some lesser known drive-thru bands" fuck yeah
Curse. 02.01.13	I'm on board
JokineAugustus 02.01.13	Meadows End - Ode To Quietus

BallsToTheWall 02.01.13	Adema or Hey Monday for sure
Winesburgohio 02.01.13	Ayo can this wait 24 hours is all i ask should have a review up by then and i don't want it getting bumped off the radar totally it's a matter of pride you see
Ovrot 02.01.13	Dixie Dreggs - What If
Winesburgohio 02.01.13	Also Faraquet-The View from the tower maybe?

BallsToTheWall 02.01.13	Adema bro
theacademy 02.01.13	comment was at winesburgo's first coment
theacademy 02.01.13	adema bro [2]
Atari 02.01.13	i'll decide once i see what the album is
theacademy 02.01.13	no the point is that you commit to reviewing it before you know its a small compromise worst case scenario you write a negative review
Curse. 02.01.13	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTOKnYNI3tU
Curse. 02.01.13	I'M GIVING IIIIIIIIIINNNNNN TOOOOO YYYYOOOOOOUUUUU
Curse. 02.01.13	Adema or Unloco obvi
Atari 02.01.13	fine fuck it i'm in.
theacademy 02.01.13	adema is like korn's little brother like it actually is
Curse. 02.01.13	Adema is the PM5K to Korn's White Zombie
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	I'm down as long as the album doesn't suck too much
apert 02.01.13	i'd do it never reviewed before so expect some amateur shit
bungy 02.01.13	I'm down. I don't really have a nomination in mind though
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	suggestions: Beck - Sea Change Feist - The Reminder The Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up The Girl Heatmiser - Mic City Sons Liam the Younger - Revel Hidden Worlds Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow Mansions - Dig Up The Dead McLusky - McLusky Do Dallas Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things Spoon - Kill The Moonlight These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home
Trebor. 02.01.13	lol Oasis, I'll review it as .5 it will be awesome
bungy 02.01.13	I agree about submitting them at exactly the same time
Ignimbrite 02.01.13	Good idea.
apert 02.01.13	all thats alternative/indie need a wider variety of suggestions
Ignimbrite 02.01.13	Ildjarn
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	"all thats alternative/indie need a wider variety of suggestions" yeah I was trying to pick things agreeable to many people
apert 02.01.13	almost everyone on the site is largely into alt, metal or prog so it should be something from one of those imo
bungy 02.01.13	It will be funnier/better if it's absolutepunk agreeable as much as I'd rather listen to heatmiser or Liam the younger
theacademy 02.01.13	the goal is to try and find an album that most of the people reviewing kinda know or might have listened to once or twice but don't really have a strong opinion about like we want people to go into it without "lol fuck oasis so hard"
bungy 02.01.13	ok lets review thrice
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	true, in that case The Early November - The Room's Too Cold Hey Mercedes - Everynight Fire Works Bad Astronaut - Houston: We Have A Drinking Problem or like Botch or something heavier maybe?
Cygnatti 02.01.13	I'd go for it but I wouldn't be able to write reviews for most genres outside pop/rock/alt/indie.
bungy 02.01.13	Mahumodo And what Eric just said
apert 02.01.13	should probs be something without harsh vocals
Aids 02.01.13	""the cycle" somewhat unknown alt/indie/metal/punk band is championed by good users/then 5'd by shitty, michaelsnoxall-level users/then 1'd KILL /then silentpotato comes in and calls everyone a faggot and asks why nobody listens to his esoteric recs... and then after a couple of hundred votes we have like a 3.6." ugh you so nailed it. I hate getting called a shitty bandwagon user for liking, for example, Laura Stevenson. It's like, bitch, this website likes that chick BECAUSE of me (I'm exaggerating to a disgusting degree but you get the point -- me/chan/sea and a few others were solely responsible for Sit Resist becoming the circle-jerk sput album of 2011)
bungy 02.01.13	Millencolin
apert 02.01.13	its funny how some users can 1 or 5 something and loads of people just follow them
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	"ugh you so nailed it. I hate getting called a shitty bandwagon user for liking, for example, Laura Stevenson. It's like, bitch, this website likes that chick BECAUSE of me (I'm exaggerating to a disgusting degree but you get the point -- me/chan/sea and a few others were solely responsible for Sit Resist becoming the circle-jerk sput album of 2011)" haha Laura is the perfect example Redsky and I talked about her on facebook then I reviewed her EP and brought it to moderate attention to like you and bigtuna and bungy and knott etc. then maniac got weirdly obsessed then Sit Resist came out and lots of people were all about it then Chan 5 reviewed it and a huge backlash began then maniac's obsession got even weirder then she turned kinda into a joke and a means of ridicule now her new music's releasing / will be released soon and I will love it regardless
theacademy 02.01.13	the adema suggestions were sort of on the right track altho im pretty sure nobody (myself included) would go into an adema review seriously... but thats like a funny band in the same vein that were looking for idea (and i dont want to have too much input bc if we want the most people to participate its gotta be legit from the hive, but give it a shot): 1. pick a tv star from late 90's WB or FOX. Let's go Katie Holmes 2. look up one of her awesome movies before she got legit famous and her career went to shit (Disturbing Behavior) 3. look up Disturbing Behavior's soundtrack. 4. pick one of those bands' albums. here are some movie soundtracks: Valentine (Katherine Heigl) Teaching Ms. Tingle (Michelle Williams) I Know What You Did Last Summer (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt) Go (Katie Holmes Again) Varsity Blues Urban Legend (Tara Reid's murder was kinda scary) THE CRAFT The Faculty Mimic Idle Hands The Rage: Carrie 2 Bride of Chucky Wrong Turn Can't Hardly Wait Phantoms all these movies have rich soundtracks filled with delightfully shitty alt. bands that never made it. They're all probably like music teachers now or accountants or dentists or some other job that isn't 'anonymous bass player for linkin park.'
Aids 02.01.13	hahaha one two fucking three you sexy running man you (@sea)
theacademy 02.01.13	ok looked up linkin parks bassist his name is Dave.
theacademy 02.01.13	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/The-Flys/19662/
demigod! 02.01.13	pixies - doolittle
theacademy 02.01.13	or on the other side of the coin, we could all do like popular 90's stuff that nobody our age really listens to anymore not like third eye blind or goo goo dolls but less successful bands from that radio era
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	millencolin I suggest starting with Tony Hawk soundtracks
Masochist 02.01.13	Millencolin, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Hot Water Music...(Tony Hawk) Lit, Candlebox, Cracker, The New Radicals, Enigma, Crush 40...(90's)
SeaAnemone 02.01.13	Lit [2]
Curse. 02.01.13	The Verve Pipe
