Review Summary: Nerdcore Rising...nothing quite describes this album better. If you took a quick look at MC Frontalot. You can tell he doesn't really fit in with the Hip-Hop/Rap community. Yet he strives to make a place for himself & nerdcore hip-hop in the community. Instead of rapping about getting money, having sex, getting high, or a thousand other cliches. Frontalot raps about all sorts of problems that a nerd would have, NOT getting the girls, people forgetting who he is, and many other subjects. Now instead of having pretending to be serious about himself and his Star Trek collection he laughs at himself and doesn't get too serious. Which makes for a fun listen.
This entire album you can tell MC Frontalot has been through a lot of humility which is sad, cause the beats are nice and a lot of the songs are catchy as hell. "Charity Case" is Front's plea for people to buy his album and not to download, so he can actually "buy some new pants", while "Goth Girls" is his love for the ladies in dark, but not being able to talk to them. "Pr0n S0ng" has to be my personal favorite and a real funny song, it doesn't take a huge imagination to figure out what it's about. "This Old Man" shows Front's willing to throw more then the old FL Studio in there, as a banjo and piano come together and makes a real nice groove."Nerdcore Rising" which features guest spots of Jesse Dangerous & MC Hawkwing, is all of their rhymes about trying to get Nerdcore in the hip-hop catalog. It's a good listen and both of the guest spots bring this song together, makes you wish for Nerdcore to be considered in with the rest of em. The 2nd half of the disc tends to go for more of a "spoof" type rap style which isn't bad, the album flows together without it sounding like the same song over and over again. "Penny Arcade Theme" is Front showing his love for the nerds everywhere, and is named after the famous arcade. "I Heart Fags" is another personal favorite which presents Front defending his more curly friends in Chicago.
I could go on forever about how great each song is and why you should listen, but it's something you have to experience to understand. Each song has funny, yet honest lyrics, good beats without it seeming tired. MC Frontalot may sound like a regular Weird Al, but boy can this guy make Nerdcore sound great. It's something fun and different to listen to, which honestly is something that this genre can use after all the bull-crappery I get to see on MTV on Sunday. The only problem I have is that this disc may get old (as every other fun-to-listen to album) after about 5 or 6 spins around your stereo.

This album is gimmicky, and isn’t very good, but a mention of listening to it is redeemable for tw...

As always Constructive criticism!

Neg'd for various reasons. (this is your 12th review so I don't feel bad)
"cause the beats are nice" not at all descriptive
"Pr0n S0ng" has to be my personal favorite and a real funny song" same
"I could go on forever about how great each song is and why you listen" unsure what you meant by that but I wish you would have went into more detail.
Tip: take more time with the review and this on definitely doesn't read like a 4.5

Well, at least you gave a reason.
I cut back a lot on this review, cause I found that the compliments to each song I gave was about the same. (nice beats, & fun lyrics, repeated about 16 times).
This was my first Hip-Hop review, I found myself having a hard time describing the sound.
I'm usually more into metal/rock, so I think I'll just stick to that from now on, some reviewers can do multiple genres. I'm not one of them lol

Well then I admire your spirit. Don't give up on hip-hop just get a little more descriptive, when I write I always keep a thesaurus at hand.

This is what sputnik has always needed....an honest yet iron willed review enforcer. Unfortunately for me I dont give a fuck about writing spirited reviews so my approval will probaly drop to 23%.

Take a gander at my first 3 reviews, they were horrible.
I was coming out of a chronic capitalization problem, and it really took a bullet to my reviews.
I've been slowly improving, though by looks of my approval (52%) It hasn't been much lol.

no dude, continue if you want, just, you know, describe stuff and things. Also take some of TheEnforcer's advice, though he hasn't reviewed quite yet, he seems to know what he's talking about.

Fags like to FUCK!
I love this album.
| | | Album Rating: 4.5
nah, cause I don't know quite enough about the hip-hop genre to really describe things past "WOAH! Nice beats! Funny lyrics!"
as with more metal or rock bands I can at least describe the sound while knowing how to word it out.
this I didn't know how to quite word it out, so I winged it.
never doing that again.
cause I'm striving to be a decent reviewer, and I'm not quite there yet, so I'll stick to what I know.
I might re-do some of the things here, after I get a little bit more cultured.

You cut a lot of sentences in half, especially in the first paragraph. Use commars instead.

I will keep that in mind when I re-do this review.
