God I hate new users, also see emim was that so hard? Couldn't just have said that and left it? No, you had to be a cunt about it. Also I'm not pompous either. See when you get to 19 and you've had 2 devils threesomes you can talk, til then you can remind yourself that you are a douche and that no one loves you.




New is the last thing I am. I had to be a cunt? You sir, make me laugh.



Also, flogging the walrus to "gai butsecks" does not count as a threesome, just saying...





Have a Merry Christmas!

Haha. Puns.

And no, even if it did make him mad (which wasn't my intention) i wouldn't fight about something like that, it'd be such a boring and redundant fight.



"Yeah, well your opinion sux!"

"No, your opinion sux! Such a n00b scenester!"





So on and so forth...

boring and redundant




I believe that was the crux of the argument actually.

wow pretty ridiculous argument. here's my take on it in a nutshell...



Se2ondComing: don't ever try to become a lawyer. you have no idea how to defend your position.



ThePalaceOfWisdom: go back to your old username. this new one just makes your utter lack of wisdom even more laughably apparent than before. and the fact that you clearly have yourself deluded makes it even funnier.



It's fine if the overall message of the review is "this album is boring." but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to describe why this is so, and give us some specific examples that would be fairly unarguable. for instance, the only thing you mention about the guitars in the review is that they "can write some pretty technical riffs, but they're more flashy than effective." well, i for one completely disagree with that statement, and my entire review can tell you why. why exactly are they "more flashy than effective?" you give absolutely zero backup.



Well those people suck. Constellations is an attempt by August Burns Red to remain relevant to the ever-growing number of trend-hoppers who’ve become bored with mainstream Metal. I can’t fault them for trying, but I can fault them for failing. Breaking down ABR’s general song writing formula is pretty simple, much like a slew of other bands they rely on guitar dominance, combining this with an under usage of bass work and in a slight twist a competent drummer.


stuff like this is your biggest problem. #1: just coming out and saying "the people who dare disagree with me and *gasp*...like this record -- well they just suck" is second-grade smack talk (read: LAME). grow up. #2: who are you to say what the record "is an attempt to do?" you have no idea. just stick with the facts please, we can do without the false "inside knowledge." #3: what you describe actually isn't a songwriting formula at all -- don't use terms like that unless you actually know what they mean. and #4: it's a grotesquely generic way to back up your position. "guitar dominance, a slight under-usage of bass and a good drummer" covers about 97% of all hard rock music, and is not inherently deserving of a 2 rating at all. basically, you need to put more work into reviews instead of just aiming for shock value and then pretending to be the smartest guy in the room (since we all know you're not anyway).

in short, you can't write a painfully mediocre "2"-rated review full of logical holes and generic statements for an album that everyone knows is pretty damn great, and pretend to shrug off the disproportionate well-written to not well-written voting ratio as "fanboy negs." you simply did a bad job of supporting your case. deal with it.
