Actually there are a bunch of ones because this isn't even sub-par retro rock: this is refurbished
yesteryear retro rock that doesn't even have to dignity to settle for mediocrity.

Album Rating: 2.0

Nailed it, except its worse than that.

I think that's the first time we've ever agreed on something in the same thread.

"Everyone just gives this album a 1 because it's Avenged Sevenfold and it's apparently hip to hate on them."

No, it's a crappy album.

Nice review.

"Nice review."

What? This is a horrendous review for a horrendous album. How anyone can think this review was well-written is beyond me. Grammatical errors all over the place, a pointless 5.0 rating that isn't defended properly, and pretentiousness seeping out of every syllable.

I honestly do not like this band. but whatever I am convinced to give them a second chance.

Lambda knows his shit

This album is everything that's wrong with music recorded to a disc.

Album Rating: 1.5

social stigma my ass



review is over-pretentious for the album it's reviewing

Lambda, I love you.

This review is not, in fact, well written, nor well supported, especially as copypasta definitions do NOT equal being "informed" (ironically enough as prejudgment is discussed using this method). The review's body does not match the rating given and so we are left with a poorly justified argument that is crawling with siege-mentality bias. Again, the irony is not lost on how an attempt to counter ill-informed naysayers led to a review of defensive, unsubstantiated over-rating.

Roads to hell are paved with good intentions. I can see what the reviewer is trying to do, and I respect the will to go against the tides of morons who do not even listen to records before slandering them. However, this alone does not equal a good review.

Album Rating: 3.5

a lot of truth

Thank you for your comment. How this review has 22 pos's is beyond me.

Album Rating: 1.5

Review's fine. People complaining about stupid little things like grammatical errors (there are multiple errors, but do not significantly detract from the argument) or the "pretentiousness" (the irony being those complainers are being pretentious themselves) are stupid. Obviously this is not a 5 album, but the people who neg either A) see a 5 and say Omgeeerd a 5..NEG!! or B) Try to find every single flaw, whether there or not, and pick it apart unjustifiably....while trying to justify it.

Agreed.

"Review's fine."

No it isn't.

"People complaining about stupid little things like grammatical errors (there are multiple errors, but do not significantly detract from the argument)"

"stupid little things like grammatical errors?" Are you serious? Yes, they do detract from the argument in that much validity is taken away from the statements made since they are stated in incorrect English.

"or the "pretentiousness" (the irony being those complainers are being pretentious themselves) are stupid."

No, I (we) are not being pretentious at all. We're pointing out all the flaws in this terrible and, yes, pretentious review.

"Obviously this is not a 5 album, but the people who neg either A) see a 5 and say Omgeeerd a 5..NEG!!"

No, we read the review and realize that a 5 is in no way justified by the badly constructed, pretentious, pointless, grammatical error-laden review.

"B) Try to find every single flaw, whether there or not, and pick it apart unjustifiably....while trying to justify it. "

It's not unjustifiable to find flaws and point them out. That's called constructive criticism.

"Thank you both. Granted, I might have exaggerated with the 5, but it's definitely a solid record."

This comment by the author makes the review neg worthy.
