^How about, instead of crying about this review, you write your own review substantiating your argument about how good the album is?

Get your point across; maybe people will agree. And do a good enough job to convince apathetic people to listen.

alright ill tackle this in stages



1) there's room for smart criticism.



2) as ive said before, chan wasn't complaining. in fact, he was offering smart criticism!



3) youre either totally delusional or very very selective with your comment reading to think your

opinion is the consensus



4) the lyrics to sad savior as posted in the review are missing the word "is". i'll edit that in so

you can shut your mouth about that



5) we've been over sad savior already, refer to my interpretation like 3 pages ago



6) your opinion isn't objective fact. i guess that goes along with everything but its worth

restating

This is the best Downer, or really staff, review i've seen in a while. Why are people ripping it?

Curse objective ratings and fleshed out ideas. They're the bane of journalism I say.

Xtoxin: it's not his opinion i'm disagreeing with. He just could have made the same points in a more professional manner and FAR more concise.

I disagree and think, as I said on page 1, that this is one of the best reviews I've read in months.

Lol ok Adam. Guess i didn't understand just how low the standards were around here nowadays.

It could be 5. It could be 1. It's not the rating that people are ripping. And I'm not talking about

what chan said, I'm talking about the staff member who said you wrote this after less than 24 hours

after you listening the album for the first time. It was a veiled criticism, it was posted but now

it's gone.



I wonder why.



And I love how people like to keep saying I"m the only one criticizing this review. Man up and

admmit this is a subpar review. I wouldn't be complaining, people wouldn't complain if this was not

the case. If the reaction for this record is mixed, so it's the reaction for your review. Just take

a look at the ratings and the comments on here.

i'm honestly a bit surprised this hasn't caused a larger backlash than just one proudly fertile dickhead.

I somewhat agree with you, actually, especially on the professionalism part, but I can't hold it against the review(er) because professionalism is dead. Some of the most important reviewers (I'm looking at you, Pitchfork) have created some of the least professional reviews ever.

EDIT: On second thought, I can't seem to remember what album Pitchfork had reviewed to which I'm referencing, so it makes my evidence moot, although I stand by my statement.

this is going to sound like bullshit, but if you took the first half of every paragraph and the entire 4th paragraph and either re-wrote them or deleted them, this would be an incredible review.

You just look like you were going through one big verbal orgasm of hate and childish complaints about

the album, man. You could review this objectively, but you didn't. I'm done criticizing this, I have

better things to do. Maybe you could take this as an opportunity to improve at your craft, but go

ahead and accept the sweet taps on your back.



It's easier, right?
