  • Thangorodrim good evening
    May 10 03:39 AM
  • Gyromania You, sir, have excellent taste in music. However, you should let CTTS grow on you; they're one of my favorite bands, and I understand that the general consensus is that they're difficult to get into.

  • TheWayfarerElectric How the **** did you get a site rank of 67?
    April 21 12:52 AM
  • PirateSquid I will make sweet love to you if you can give me a link to download Thy Mighty Contract
    April 1 08:35 PM
  • TheWayfarerElectric yeah, i said it
    March 28 02:06 AM
  • TheWayfarerElectric oh, and i think you like skramz because it makes you a purist of some sort and you're thirteen so that's like different to be a 13 year old purist of anything besides mallcore.
    March 27 08:35 AM
  • TheWayfarerElectric so you make me ashamed to like tmc.
    March 27 08:33 AM

  • scissorlocked Hey man,I am listening to choirs of the eye for almost a week.How long do you think will it take to reveal its brilliance?I mean surely I like it,but its by far the most challenging album i have ever heard!!!!!
    February 15 03:36 AM
  • Jazzman85 Everything is opinion; for example, you don't like BTBAM that much, I happen to hate Pig Destroyer. All opinion. Thanks for your recs man.
    February 13 08:28 PM
  • Jazzman85 I like Tommy's voice, he's quite a versatile musician, he's unclean vocals were better earlier in the discography, but really not as bad as people think. He's very talented. Good pianist as well. All opinion though.
    February 13 08:27 PM
  • JulesWin awww did I hurt your feelings? well you need to step your reviewing game up
    February 13 06:01 AM
  • Nikkolae Pan's Labyrinth FTW!
    February 13 05:09 AM
  • JulesWin how do you have a 94% approval? do you create alts to pos your own reviews?
    February 13 05:00 AM
  • Jazzman85 Listened to Mars Volta discography (main) yesterday. I'm gonna rate them now, I got a good idea of my faves.
    February 12 03:04 PM
  • Jazzman85 Thanks so much for the recs. I have though heard of Toby Driver and all his stuff because my friend knew a guy who mixed with them, maudlin and Kayo Dot are truly awesome bands.
    February 12 03:04 PM
  • Jazzman85 Oh and I guess you, me and progmaster and half this site agree... Sufjan Stevens is the king... especially on Illinois
    February 12 03:38 AM
  • Jazzman85 lol I'm not progmaster and thanks a lot that cleared it up for me. I think I'll go with Frances the Mute for now, and see whats up with that. De-Loused is seriously, like one of the best albums I've ever heard. And Stars of the Lid is closed to a 5, but I don't know if it'll make it. Thanks for the Volta help, anything else you wanna rec me?
    February 12 03:37 AM
  • Jazzman85 suggestions for next Volta album?
    February 12 02:27 AM
  • Jazzman85 Hey thanks for commenting. I didn't see you so far on this site since I've been on here I think so whats up? Anyway, I think I just fell in love with The Mars Volta haha. I knew the name before I got on the site, but never got into them, but they are right up my ally. I listened to their album "De-Loused" and loved it. They might be my new favorite band, and I've only been listening to them for a few hours as I type this haha. And you do have a good taste in music.

  • TricksterGRex is that wold imperator rating a ****ing joke?
    February 9 10:14 PM
  • Deviant. I'll let you know when i've spent a bit more time with it
    February 8 01:27 AM
  • iranscam I mean the rating is obv a joke but it's probably a 3-3.5. Decent black noise.
    February 8 12:44 AM
  • Deviant. I haven't been able to give it a great deal of attention, but from what I have heard it seems pretty good. Interesting to say the least
    February 8 12:33 AM
  • WoodLawn When I think "****ing intense," I think Metric.
    February 6 05:14 PM
  • Electric City jokes like 3 years old dude
    February 5 07:09 AM
  • WoodLawn Just got around to checking out that link to Cogito you sent me a couple of weeks back. They're not too shabby at all. Vocalist has that absolutely demonic Usurp Synapse-y sound. Just downloading the Vital EP now. Thanks for the tip man.
    February 4 11:21 PM
  • Iluvatar To annoy chan
    February 4 11:10 PM
  • Electric City yes
    February 4 10:45 PM
  • mynameisfan His reviews rule though.
    February 4 09:32 PM
  • mynameisfan Thats disappointing to say the least.
    February 4 09:28 PM
  • mynameisfan False, I am just a fan of Chan.
    February 4 09:21 PM
  • mynameisfan Indeed I shall, thank you fellow steed.
    February 4 09:09 PM
  • Athom i know!
    January 31 04:16 AM
  • kingsoby1 what he said.
    January 28 04:47 PM
  • Dave de Sylvia If it's by mulitple artists, it's various artists.
    January 28 01:26 PM
  • Wizard So you like bm that has some actual thought put into it, not the cheesy, over-the-top type of stuff I take it.
    January 28 12:14 AM
  • Wizard Hey, I don't want to spam up your AW review so I thought I would throw you another symphonic bm band that I've recently discovered called Nazxul. Their latest album is called Iconoclast.
    January 27 02:43 AM
  • Athom i think you mean Dostoevsky reference, bro. way to s*** on my favorite novella.
    January 24 12:18 AM
  • TheSpirit Haha, yeah well i finally got around to actually rating somethings. Usually i just skip over that and only rate what i review
    January 23 05:28 AM
  • TheSpirit Don't worry about it man. I've barely heard the album and first come first serve anyway.
    January 23 03:13 AM
  • Foxhound Yeah didn't really think so.
    January 21 11:02 PM
  • Foxhound You watched that ICP movie didn't you? lol only reason I'm asking is because I saw you post "pos 'mothafoka'!" and I that's what I thought of.
    January 21 08:47 AM
  • KritikalMotion it's darker than black lol.
    January 21 08:09 AM
  • Progmaster85 By the way, Kayo Dot is incredible.
    January 20 03:58 PM
  • Progmaster85 But it's all opinion, hey man, listen to what you want, what makes you happy. I would however have to say that as a slight fan of The Mars Volta, I have talked with others about the fact that they take avant-gardeness to far, but I still like them. I'll check out that thing you posted on my wall.
    January 20 03:58 PM
  • Progmaster85 I actually like your reviews, well written. However, if you can find a spot on BTBAM's Colors that goes like this for 5 minutes: jwef;afjaklfbefkf;ab;k, I'd be surprised. The genre breaks are used as a relief for the layered metal sections, and usually, the second half of each song is a clean/jazzy take. The Mars Volta is so ****ing talented, but they take it too far, especially on Amputechture. Bedlam in Goliath sucks too. Octahedron is their best since De-Loused, and yes better than Frances.
    January 20 03:56 PM
  • Prophet178 Damn, that's impressive. I still need to get that cogito s***, damn.
    January 20 06:13 AM
  • Prophet178 Thanks man. You're a review machine dude, do you write those the same day as you post them?
    January 20 06:06 AM
  • Essence no edward is named edward. YOU are named stephanie
    January 20 06:04 AM
  • mynameischan well thank you. also 3.5 for digital ash that album suxxx
    January 20 06:03 AM
  • Essence okay stepphie hey i hear you put on your first training bra don't worry you'll be a woman someday
    January 20 05:55 AM
  • mynameischan hmm i am not sure if you are being serious or not, i am very wary of you ****ing with me
    January 20 05:44 AM
  • mynameischan is that a good thing
    January 20 05:18 AM
  • PanasonicYouth thought i'd warn you before mods caught it, but troll rating (ala rating the entire Emmure discography as a 1) is ground for getting all of your ratings d. might wanna change that quicklike.
    January 20 02:30 AM
  • Essence sup stephenie you lookin' for an adonis to romance? too bad you'll never find one hahahahahah
    January 20 12:18 AM
  • Progmaster85 I also see we have some things in common, such as a love for Godspeed , though F# A# isn't a classic in my eyes
    January 19 10:08 PM
  • Progmaster85 In reality, I'm just messing with you, no need to be harsh, everyone has their opinions.
    January 19 10:07 PM
  • Progmaster85 to your opinion. I happen to enjoy Mars Volta sometimes, but they use odd combos of random sounds as 5 minute filler to often. But, I see you love Volta, which is totally fine. Be happy with what you listen too, thats what matters.
    January 19 10:06 PM
  • Progmaster85 You are entitled to your opinion, friend. Planet of Ice is probably more of a 4.5 truly, but 5 to me because it's the first record in the genre that I loved. Many would disagree with you that Between the Buried and Me is annoying, I've actually discussed "Colors" with fellow musicians, most of whom would say that Between the Buried and Me are highly original and are fantastic musicians. Also, Minus the Bear is highly regarded by many staff members, especially on this site, but you are entitled
    January 19 10:05 PM
  • Progmaster85 Cassandra Gemini contains about 10 minutes of: EJSnfsJGNslkjgrkljgaklgblkgbrlkj
    January 19 03:51 PM
  • Progmaster85 hehe sure you do, and I bet you think robot cats having sex sounds good to. Hehe you make me laugh. Try some tasteful prog like King Crimson, maybe some Fates Warning or even Scale the Summit. Haha you think Frances the Mute is godly I love it.
    January 18 07:51 PM
  • Progmaster85 No, what I'm saying is that Volta is good but they like to masturbate with sounds and they think it sounds good, actually Cicatriz ESP has 5 minutes of Omar throwing up into the mic. Please fool, don't tell me I don't like Prog.
    January 18 03:16 PM
  • Progmaster85 the mars volta likes to masturbate with their instruments. In fact they recorded it, it's called Cicatriz ESP.
    January 17 08:34 PM
  • Progmaster85 I also see that you have The Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute" at 5. Unfortunately, you are wrong because the album is mostly all over place at times and Cassandra Gemini is abysmal. Don't tell me I'm a sad man at all, what's sad is that you have Leaving your Body Map at 5. Please kid, don't tell me I'm sad lol.
    January 17 04:51 PM
  • Progmaster85 metalcore is something I grew up with, mostly, I don't care for most metalcore anymore like Killswitch yet I do still love August Burns Red because of the song structures, they intrigue me. I actually listen genres like Prog, 70's Prog, Indie, Post-rock/metal and melodic death metal more than I do those bands any more.
    January 17 04:46 PM
  • Prophet178 Sure man.
    January 16 12:58 AM
  • kitsch ya i saw yr review of earth and downloaded it. in the woods... is really tight. ill check out the other one u said
    January 13 04:05 AM
  • Wizard Funny that you mentioned Torture Garden because that was the next album I was going to look into hahahaha. Thank you muchly.
    January 12 11:53 PM
  • BallsToTheWall I've been jamming to that Black Boned Angel album for the past half hour. I'm digging the middle section alot. Probaly wont get to finish it now because i'm off to run errands soon.
    January 12 10:55 PM
  • BallsToTheWall Yeah, album brings the win.
    January 12 10:39 PM
  • kitsch you seem like someone who could give me some avant-metal/drone recommendations that take more risks in their sound than sunn o)))
    January 12 09:13 PM
  • Wizard Naked City rules and I'm looking into more by the band. Thanks again man!
    January 11 10:26 PM
  • PirateSquid Thanks man, I know they made a good split with Off Minor. I was planning to check them out, but you gave me more incentive. Thanks : D
    January 10 06:09 AM
  • BallsToTheWall I don't know what just happened but I believe you just hit me in the face with a metaphorical brick and i'm all dazed.
    January 8 10:21 PM
  • BallsToTheWall Sure. Or it could be the absolute truth to the infamous Twilight love triangle.
    January 8 12:47 PM
  • TheSpirit i like to follow-up on certain users i suppose
    January 8 04:15 AM
  • TheSpirit Sure man
    January 8 04:02 AM
  • TheSpirit Okay cool, I'll definitely check out Omnio
    January 7 09:34 PM
  • TheSpirit *Heart of the Ages
    January 7 09:02 PM
  • TheSpirit Yeah, i have Heart of Ages from them and it's excellent but i still need to hear Omnio. If you like that you'd probably like Nocte Obducta. They are a tad bit heavier but good nonetheless
    January 7 09:02 PM
  • TheSpirit Both. And yeah, i was planning on waiting till about 45 -50 anyway.
    January 7 08:39 PM
  • TheSpirit Thanks for posting it man i really appreciate it.
    January 7 07:51 PM
  • rasputin once you become a contributor, all you really need to do is post every now and then. there isn't too much expected of a contributor. staff obviously have more requirements.
    January 6 01:53 AM
  • rasputin there really isn't anything to it at all. in the sputnikmusic section of the forums there is an application thread for both contributor applications and staff applications. read that thread, write up your own application and post it in there. whenever promotions are made your application will then be considered. as to what it entails, pretty much nothing. just post regularly, consistently good reviews - they prefer new releases, but that's more important for staff application.
    January 6 01:52 AM
  • kitsch i see u dig the cr00shness along with the mt goats. braid is awesome. good man
    January 2 09:55 PM
  • Prophet179 Hahahahaha thats the best. Knowing I made an asian obsessed woman queef makes the banning all worth it. I think Dave was the only one who didn't find it funny.
    December 24 05:37 AM
  • Prophet179 I posted a joke review of The Devil
    December 24 05:27 AM
  • Prophet179 My main account is banned until then.
    December 24 05:19 AM
  • Prophet179 No, sounds sick though, I'll definitely check it out, thanks. I wrote up a review for the Takaru split but I have to wait until Sunday to post it.
    December 24 05:10 AM
  • Prophet179 Hell yeah, it seems like no one around here has heard of them. That split is probably one of my favorite scremo releases of all time.
    December 24 04:57 AM
  • Prophet179 You ever listen to Takaru?
    December 24 01:54 AM
  • iarescientists when i first listened to it i couldn't stop listening to it and thought it was the greatest thing ever, but then i listened to it too much and got kind of sick of it and then i become a giant elitist **** and thought the blood brothers were really empty and superficial and s*** but then i stopped being a giant **** so i love them again
    December 20 05:30 AM
  • iarescientists oh yeah me and that album have had a very odd relationship
    December 20 12:30 AM
  • iarescientists idk i haven't looked at my ratings in a while
