if only i were paid! and hey i like taking back sunday but this album's pretty bad =(



and yeah, munro, i listened to it the day it leaked, thought it was shit, and started writing.

Subsequent listens happened during the reviewing process, and it was still shit. I do this pretty

often idk. I do think that this is a review where I didn't need to post a rating; I feel like any

rating between 1 and 2.5 is pretty arbitrary.




You wrote a review from a leak. Even theinterlude.com that's a crappy as fuck website got to hear an advance copy, with full quality and access to the lyrics. You write a review that's a hate fest and you ask me about credibility?



You looked very hard to hate on this record. Tried way too hard to find arguments to judge this as immature when if it's anything, it's the most mature record they've ever done. You could find flaws on this record, if you judged correctly, there're flaws, just not the ones you're pointing. It just reads poorly, you know? Like if a kid tried to look wise and failing miserably at doing so. What goes well with people saying that the writing on your review looks forced.

In your opinion.

this made me laugh so hard. what an awesome thing to call someone out for




Good, since I was laughing while writing it, I thought it was a funny way to prove my point that above 30, we're all just kids when it comes to get a girl pregnant without planning ahead.

youre badly misquoting chan, that wasnt his point at all. his critique had to do with the style, not

the opinion expressed in the review. edit: lol and you misread him again



and it wasnt too hard to hate this record tbh, its pretty bad.



also i like how you think i have a civic duty to sit down and force myself to listen to something

until i like it because anyone who TRULY listens to this album would see its not, really not, just a

poor, overproduced, badly written, boring piece of shit because dammit this is objectively their

best album since tayf cmon guys no really.



im not paid for this shit. this is what i think of this album. you will have to deal

No, as a staff reviewer, you have to judge a record from the original source, not from a leak. Even the fucking theinterlude could do that, since they've asked for advanced copies to listen. You didn't. You don't have to listen a record until you like it either, that's not what I'm saying at all. I don't care if you like the album or not, what I'm judging is the way you went to review this.



If you didn't get my point, I don't care what your review says. I'm just laughing at it.

no, youve made clear youre butthurt about the rating and are scrambling for reasons to discredit it so youve concocted some bullshit about journalistic integrity. pretty much everything here is reviewed off a leak. guess all our reviews are by unpaid undergraduates with passionate opinions. even the ones you agree with

I'm not butthurt at all, my friend. I'm just pointing the flaws on your reviews. I can pinpoint flaws on every record I like. You went with a rant about how TBS are immature and called a review, that's your problem, not mine. Even if the same was written for New Again or Daisy, records that clearly deserve a hate speech, I'd still call it bullshit if you haven't spend some time at all to vomit your review.

This is a message board about music or are we here for the lols and taps on the back for the so called
