Yes, why yes I do. Without it, there wouldn't be Bon Jovi, and Bon Jovi is a musical past time. Nuff said.

Yeah hyper read my next comment in nevermind and well this all started with your
ego anyway so seriously you need to calm down with the reviews and all. Let people
who actually are trying to write a decent review have time on the front page. Also
this review isn't even good and I don't like the album. So much for your theory and
its not just cus I'm pissed either, I've admitted some of your others are good. You
really just say this sucks, that sucks throughout the review.This Message Edited On 07.24.07

They are bringing out the truth and a perspective you've probably never heard before


Most of what you said has been said before actually. Just maybe not in the time frame of a few hours on this site.

chimera-- and i thought i made it pretty clear why. i admitted it was probably getting repetative. i said what why it sucked in the first couple tracks, then i started repeating myself because it all sucks for the same reasons.

That dosn't mean we've never heard one. Sputnik is not the sole musical review website. Besides a friend of somones could easily of ranted to you why this album sucked and made it more apparent why than this review did.

Who says that corporate rock can't be good every once in awhile?

I think the most importaint key aspect to consider is that no matter what is on my I-Pod, I am the one who chooses what I listen to, it is not force fed by any corporations.

Very true sludge, this is real life we decide what we listen to. It's why a metalhead might have a couple my chemical romance songs hidden away in his iTunes or why an emo kid listens to classical along with his emo, because they like it. Yeah if my best friend told me some album was amazing I'd go into it assuming it was great. However if some ad told me an album was great I wouldn't be so trusting. Corporate America (this applies to me at least) dosn't affect my musical choices. Its my friends and well written, objective reviews along with obviously my own preferences that do.

I find this a very strange response from someone who seems as argumentative as you. :confused:

btw if you want to quote someone use quote tags and paste what they say within [ QUOTE=Meatplow][ /QUOTE] etc it makes it easier to read

The "man" isn't out to get you hyperboleking. This might sound hard to grasp, but sometimes, mainstream music can be listenable (gasp!). Seriously though, don't review like 6 albums in 2 days. Some people that put much more thought into their reviews are being skirted a chance at being read.

you were one of the first to comment dude. wake up.

astrel-- see my review of hendrix if you don't think i already grasp that mainstream can be good. albums produced by a band that literally conducted polls to see how much the public would like their songs are bound to SUCK. rock is revolutionary; rock is meant to shock; meant to push the boundaries. DRIVEL like Bon Jovi don't push a thing. they SUCK.

Yeah... i've got an idea we have a troll here. A dedicated one if it is.

It's Tom Waits hyperbole, from the film clip I Don't Want To Grow Up.

When people said your reviews weren't written well, they weren't lying. This one is amateurish and poorly written. I'd respect what you're doing a hell of alot more if you did it right, but you're not. Even though I somewhat agree that this isn't a particularly enthralling record. A bit of advice, go and take a gander at Illuvatars more recent reviews - they're stylistically similar to what you're trying to achieve, but much better written. Aggressive/Informal reviews can be fantastic, but they're incredibly hard to write well, and you're simply not capable of pulling it off. especially to get any sort of respect for the sort of albums you're reviewing.This Message Edited On 07.24.07
