i heard i song i assume was from their ep a while ago on, on a radio rock show, i wasn't that impressed i though it just sounded like bullet for my valentine. you say this sounds more polished and more like bullet than the ep so i'll probably give it a miss :P

nevertheless a good review

lol you keep reviewing stuff I intend to

pos'd cos you used the word 'wankery' and I like that word

Album Rating: 3.5

Lol sorry Anarchist, feel free to put something up

well I probably never would anyway cos I'm lazy as fuck

Album Rating: 3.5

But you could put 'wankery' in thesummary

"this album is complete wankery"

"this album provides a lot of wankery"

yes I like

"this album is complete wankery"

"this album provides a lot of wankery"

yes I like

Album Rating: 3.5

"rise to remains debut album is a lesson of wankery"

so this band is actually good?
I checked out one of their songs on youtube and it seemed pretty boring

Album Rating: 3.5

I preferred the EP, people are just going to find most new metalcore boring. It's up to the individual to decide 'yes or no'

yeah
I think sputnik has changed my tastes over the past 9 months or so

Album Rating: 3.5

Mine changes however I will admit that I like more folk metal now rather than when I signed up to Sputnik

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Honestly, if metalcore were to die tomorrow (if that makes sense), I'd rather these guys be the genre's swan song. They seem to be in touch with their influences, and they all bring some much needed talent to the table as well.

Liked this alot more than I thought I would. The Serpent is awesome.

Metal Hammer (magazine)

Instead of putting magazine in parentheses, why not just italicize the title "Metal Hammer"? Italics imply that it is a form of media, and if you are concerned about using too many italics, eliminate it from the band name because italicizing Rise to Remain isn't really necessary.

however there are some changes that displays

"changes that display"

After a short symphonic introduction that features other sound media (helicopter) the album leads into ‘The Serpent’ where a mass of screaming crash into the ears of the listener.

would be more readable with a comma after 'The Serpent'

This song as well as others uses large amount of hooks that lift the catchiness of the song.

"use large amounts of hooks" would sound better than "uses large amount of hooks" which to be honest isn't even gramatically correct (I think)

Comparing the full length to the Bridges Will Burn EP differences emerge.[

"In comparing the full length to the Bridges Will Burn EP, differences emerge."

The track ‘Nothing Left’ which features on both CD’s is the most noticeable example of this.

"The track 'Nothing Left', which is featured on both CD's, is the most noticeable example of this."

It’s good to see that some metalcore bands can write a quality song without screaming, the only problem listeners may find with Austin’s vocals however is the slightly whiny tone that creeps into his highs.

You need a conjunction after "screaming"..."and" would make the most sense.

through in some guitar wankery and a soft bridge

"throw in some guitar wankery and a soft bridge"

listeners are almost guaranteed a top production effort and the high quality production
Used the word production twice in the same sentence

Given the amount of attention the band has had over the last year Rise To Remain are sure to receive support from many facets of the metal genre.

Comma would fit nicely after the word "year". Also, "facets" doesn't make sense to me in that context. Facets means acpects or parts of something. Anyone would know what you meant, but maybe be more specific because that just seems like a poor choice of words.

City Of Vultures has a high replay value and some intelligent hooks that will be sure to maintain its fans and see the band hit the metalcore heights alongside the bands they support.
A really weak closing sentence to be honest, quite a few mistake here...once again, "maintain its fans" makes little to no sense, maybe you meant to say maintain its "fan base" or "please fans". But I'm not sure what it means to maintain a fan. Also you use the word band twice in the same sentence.

-----------------

Overall, you have come a long way man. And I don't mean this to be disrespectful, but sorting through all the mistakes in your reviews used to be an undertaking, and as Irving said earlier in the thread, those days are gone. Obviously all the corrections above are nitpicking, but that's what you asked for, so take it for what you will. Nice review, pos'd. REVIEW GRADE: B+

Album Rating: 3.5

I will work on those man, glad to hear I'm not a chore anymore.

Once again, man, great review. Actually went to the iTunes store immediately after reading to give em a listen; oddly enough
only found one song. Liked it though.

I think I've truly grown out of this type of music

Thanks Muse, odd that's there's only one song, this stuff is what you would expect iTunes to have.
