In all due respect I would like to ask... what the hell is so mind numbly bad about this album compared to their previous releases. It's kinda like Danza III, but with a few atmospheric pieces. If the 1's are just for the sake of trolling I would like to say this: Sputnik is now the most non-reliable music review website there is. Can't the admins or whoever made this site make it to were you have to be a decent and non "KILL"-esque person to actually write a review... or rate... or breath."



want to know why he rated it a 1? How about you read the review you fucking twit.

Did you even read the review? I'm going to assume your a retard because he states his points quite well and goes into detail as to why this album got a 1 rating from him.

Bad rating ≠ Bad review

Harsh.

Nah.

yeah

It wasn't actually that well-written. It didn't read as being very professional. Wasn't awful, though, so no neg.

why is this shit the most popular album

Because some weird faction likes this group, contrary to common sense. It's like how people like Tool on this site :-P

Ok, just finished reading. Content is solid (if obviously biased and intentionally barbed), but you'll notice some recurring issues throughout. Here's the proofread (probably at least 2 posts):



"Stands" in the summary should just be stand.



problem with this album is that it's just unpleasant to listen to,

The comma here should be a colon. You could justify a dash, as well, I think.



aren't any interesting riffs that go over them leaving the music

Needs punctuation between "them" and "leaving." A comma would work best.



and it times it feels

"and at times it feels"



That was pretty cool wasn't it, well the trend in core music...

"That was pretty cool, wasn't it? Well, the trend in core music..."



seems to be just play rhythm guitar

Awkward phrasing. "seems to involve playing" or something similar would be a good fix.

Album Rating: 2.0

Generally on an album like this the guitar is the main focus

Comma after "generally" and after "this." ("on an album like this" is an offset [auxiliary] phrase and must be surrounded by commas).



and that's a bad thing

Comma after "thing." Yeah, I know it seems like a lot of commas. COMPOUND SENTENCES.



But sometimes some great vocals or a tight rhythm section can save an album, this is not the case here.

Commas around "sometimes." Change the current comma to a period and make "This is not the case here." its own sentence.



The vocals are fine I guess, they don't really add anything to the music, they're kind of just there.

Comma after fine. Comma after guess should be changed to a dash or a period.



they're kind of just there. Except when they're completely horrid like the death metal gargles that come out of nowhere on "The Alpha / The Omega."

Truthfully, I'd combine these two sentences, though I think you could swing it the way you have it ("except" is a hard word to lead on). Comma after horrid.

Album Rating: 2.0

The drums don't stick out at all, they're merely here to follow the guitar, and the bass is inaudible, but that was to be expected anyway.

First comma should be a dash. Comma after guitar should be a period. And is kind of a poor transition word, and you can either kill it outright or replace it (if you keep the sentence whole without changing the comma to a period, definitely change "and" to something like "while").



and top it all off that the album is so abrasive, it's unpleasant to listen to,

"and, to top it all off, the album is so abrasive that it's unpleasant to listen to,"



The album starts strong enough,

"strong" should be "strongly." (adverb describing how it starts [verb]) Comma should be a dash.



"Canadian Bacon" too

Comma after "Bacon."



somerandom TV or movie samples that becomes quite a trend

Two words. You're going to want to split this after "samples" (possibly with a period) and say something along the lines of "This is a technique that becomes quite a trend throughout the album.



mind numbing junz with little to no medley

hyphenated word - "mind-numbing." Did you mean medley referring to multiple pieces of music strung together as one? Or do you mean melody here? Medley seems out of proper usage.



The trend lately in core music is to make the guitar as low as possible,

Change the ending comma to a dash or a period. I'd recommend a period so that you can use a dash in lieu of the next comma. You also reference "The trend" a little too often and might want to back off on that.

Album Rating: 2.0

half decent

Hyphenated. "half-decent."



chords

chord



and the rest of the album is either redundant interludes, or mind numbing junz

Again, "and" is a bad transition here. If it were me, I'd say something like "leaving the rest of the album only with either redundant interludes or mind-numbing junz." Again, hyphenate mind-numbing and strike that comma. If you didn't catch that, "is" won't work by itself before "either," and must be replaced in a way that tells me that the album is merely full of the following two qualities.



out of nowhere into these ambient sections

You don't need "these" in this sentence.



There's even a track (Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid)

Track name in quotes.



where all the band does is turn the killswitch off and on for five minutes and it leaves me scratching my head

The "and" here turns this into a run-on. Modify to break up the action. I'd do something like "...five minutes, leaving me scratching my head."



It's often hard to tell whether a new song has started, or if an interlude has ended but it's still the same song.

This is sort of phrased awkwardly. I think it'd make more sense if you said "It's often hard to tell whether a new song has started or if it's merely an interlude wrapping up." Or something like that.

Album Rating: 2.0

how little the band is capable

Just say "how incapable the band is"[/b]



The album even ends with an interlude, as if to show how little the band is capable of writing actual songs, instead having to fall back on these ambient sections.

The final section after the last comma just doesn't make sense in this sentence. I'd cut it altogether.



staccato open chords sections

"chords" -> "chord."



track seems to have been composed at random, Going in and out of breakdowns and interludes, and the fact that it's instrumental doesn't help either.

First comma should be a dash. "Going" should lose its capitalization. The second comma should be a period with all following it becoming a new sentence, sans the "and."



until an instrumental track like this showed up, and it become apparent that the instruments cannot stand on their own at all

"and" is a bad transition again. Switch it to something like "where" or "when." "become" should be "became." (tense)



Speaking of hilariously bad tracks

Comma at the end of this phrase.



if the track "Hold The Line "is a joke or not,

Transposed space. Comma should be a period with all after it becoming a new sentence.



track to the troops,

Strike the comma.

Album Rating: 2.0

samples in the middle, and I can't help but laugh

Weak "and" transition again. Should be a "but."



droning open chords, I think the band was going

Comma should be a period.



What's the point of crafting an interesting polyrhythms

Strike the "an."



something a little more in my metal record

Kill "a little." Having that there makes the reader expect an adjective after "more" and gives it a dangling feeling (i.e. "a little more what?") whereas "something more" is implicitly understood. There's a "mind-numbing" earlier in the sentence, too.



Okay, that's it. Whew, sorry.

it seems they tried to get all serious and shit with this album, and just failed miserably in every way. the self-titled album and a handful of tunes off danza ii are really all that matters. this band died when everyone but the vocalist left.
