10.26.17 | You better bring it! |
butcherboy
10.26.17 | what? |
Papa Universe
10.26.17 | Write a review for an album that doesn't have a review. I'll judge both. |
butcherboy
10.26.17 | hmm.. alright.. i'll need a day or two.. |
Papa Universe
10.26.17 | Take your time, god knows some of you will need it |
bgillesp
10.26.17 | I'll take a while on this but it will probably be rainbow kitten surprise- Seven + Mary |
Frippertronics
10.26.17 | Oh this is good, you've outdone yourself.
The Stooges - I Got A Right (going to review those two singles anyways so this is the motivation I need) |
bgillesp
10.26.17 | Going against 2 contribs will be tough |
Frippertronics
10.26.17 | fight the power, gill |
bgillesp
10.26.17 | I've never even written a single review before. I'll give it my best |
butcherboy
10.26.17 | I'm writing mine as a three way acrostic |
bgillesp
10.26.17 | Actually I'm gonna write one for Avatar- s/t since I'll be more comfortable writings about metal |
Aerisavion
10.26.17 | I'll get in on this if still open, I'm changing jobs atm so might need a few days to get it written but the album I'm going for is;
The Heavy Horses - Murder Ballads & Other Love Songs |
Papa Universe
10.26.17 | I mean you can do it, but we kinda have a thing going for 11 rounds now (butcherboy, Frippertronics, bgillesp and myself) |
Aerisavion
10.26.17 | My bad haha tbh I just saw the list and thought it sounded interesting ;)
I'll have it written by some point in the future so ignore me for the list and it'll be up when I get round to it |
butcherboy
10.26.17 | can I incorporate mine into my review series? |
Papa Universe
10.26.17 | as long as I haven't heard it... so good luck with that babe |
bgillesp
10.26.17 | You haven't heard their s/t right? |
Papa Universe
10.26.17 | nope, you're fine for once |
Divaman
10.27.17 | I just reviewed The Cranberries' "Something Else". It didn't have a review. Does that count? (Actually, almost every review I do is of an album that didn't previously have one). |
Papa Universe
10.27.17 | Diva, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but this is a closed party... |
Frippertronics
10.27.17 | oh fuck butcher is gonna be a tough one to follow up on |
Papa Universe
10.27.17 | Nah, we went with too-smart-a-lexicon pitchforkian level of pretenciousness with his entry, you might top that with simplicity, as long as it reads well. |
butcherboy
10.27.17 | you mustn't be afraid of big words, Uni darling.. |
Papa Universe
10.27.17 | i no understand them tho |
butcherboy
10.27.17 | you're just like snoop dogg.. |
Papa Universe
10.27.17 | oi, i no snooping dog, i me name esta Lil' Bitch |
butcherboy
10.27.17 | sangano.. |
bgillesp
10.27.17 | Just finished a draft of mine. Gonna edit and ask some friends to proofread. I've made my first two news articles though. Typhoon and Avatar have new material coming out soon. |
Divaman
10.27.17 | No worries, UU. I'll still be reviewing the unreviewed anyway. |
bgillesp
10.28.17 | I suck at writing. Do I have to publish the review. Idk if I want a 20% approval rating |
Papa Universe
10.28.17 | yes, you do |
bgillesp
10.28.17 | Okay. I'm freaking out less now that I'm doing a complete rewrite. My first attempt was way too didactic but this one is more personal. I'll take the best out of both and then probably completely rewrite it again. Writing about music is very different from writing for a chemistry journal. |
Papa Universe
10.28.17 | it's okay, take your time |
Frippertronics
10.30.17 | whipped it out
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/75237/The-Stooges-I-Got-A-Right/ |
Frippertronics
10.31.17 | huh |
bgillesp
11.04.17 | http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/75251/Avatar-Avatar/
Aight, finally posted it. Didn't have time to really edit that second draft, but I hope its at least decent. I know you'll dig the album at least though. |
Frippertronics
11.04.17 | it's going down |
bgillesp
11.04.17 | Do you mean the competition or my review? It said the mods may remove it since its my first. Is that gonna happen? |
Frippertronics
11.04.17 | nah the comp
dunno why the review would lol |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | the fact that you all wrote those reviews means that i don't have to write out my thoughts for too long.
new scores:
bgillesp: 55,25 (won 4)
butcherboy: 55,1 (won 3)
Frippertronics: 54,15 (won 4) |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | but who am i to judge others' reviews.?.. |
butcherboy
11.04.17 | You've got gill's and fripp's write ups mixed up |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | fixed |
bgillesp
11.04.17 | Did I win? |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | eeeeeeeehhh |
bgillesp
11.04.17 | Woaahhh! |
Frippertronics
11.04.17 | JUDGMENT UPON YE |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | don't you have two full rounds to finish? |
butcherboy
11.04.17 | 3.5 for the writing? You sir, are a no-good bastard of elephantine proportions.. |
Papa Universe
11.04.17 | it's a good rating tho... |
Frippertronics
11.05.17 | "don't you have two full rounds to finish?"
10 is pretty much uninteresting, 11 needs butcher's input |
Papa Universe
11.05.17 | well, that's your fault, bub
just write out a sentence for each and give us some mediocre ratings, we'll be fine with that much.. |
Frippertronics
11.05.17 | it sure is
on the other hand, i don't want to put out some shitty half-assed rating to get it over with |
Papa Universe
11.05.17 | Really? It's been working out fine for me. You can be a phony for one round, we won't blame you. |
Frippertronics
11.05.17 | ehhhhhhhhhhh considering you DID give me a 3.1, I can let it slide
(butcher DOES need to give me a single/EP for 11 though) |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | Yeah, butch's review was better than mine for sure, but I still would've won because you dug my album rec |
butcherboy
11.05.17 | nah, gill.. I'd say for clarity and especially first review moments, you edged me out on all fronts, review-wise.. Write more reviews on here! |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | I'd like to get around to reviewing more, just usually pretty busy. I'll be starting MCAT studying in a month though so I'll be on here sparingly once I start that. I may get one or two more out before then though |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | Did a Discog run for the Afghan Whigs today and it was awesome |
butcherboy
11.05.17 | Good! The Whigs are best!! |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | Can't decide if I like Black Love, Gentlemen, or In Spades best |
butcherboy
11.05.17 | you like in spades, you fucking love gentlemen, and you goddamn adore black love |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | But I love all 3. I've listened to in spades like 10 times and the other two only once so far, but that'll change soon. Jamming In Spades again now though |
butcherboy
11.05.17 | I'd rec The Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle as well.. it's as strong and stronger in parts than In Spades, and sounds exactly like latter-day Whigs.. |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | Cool, I'll check them too. Opinions not fully formed of course but I felt Black love was more consistent but Gentlemen had a few better high moments. |
bgillesp
11.05.17 | Is Plaque another butcher alt? |
