i won't read a review until this has been streaming for at least a week. the sad thing is this will get a handful of reviews today because people are more concerned about getting their review up than giving the album time to really sink in

oh my god, enough of these gimmicky reviews that are supposed to be clever and have a deeper point to them than the text it contains

unless it's meant to be funny (which i dont particularly mind), just write a normal fucking review

In my opinion, it is a FACT that this review is really terrible. I bet you pat yourself on the back for turning in edgy essays because they are SO meta and nonconforming. The repetition is a concern, but Agalloch's always been a band founded on repetition. The worst traits to this album are how all these tricks have been played before and far better and how the structure of the album itself is a complete mess. You chose the lowest hanging fruit and ran with it. It's not clever or funny. The album's barely been out for half a day. Your review clearly shows that. You're just begging for attention.

the "coverage" that this album has been getting so far is just depressing

The things they used to repeat were actually dynamic and interesting

"Ok regardless of whether or not the album is repetitious, that's basically the sole reason for your 2.5. EXPAND. Otherwise your review is nothing more than a bad idea. "



Thanks for the comment. However, please read my first comment said to Odal, as it applies to yours as well.



And secondly- even if repetition was my sole reason for giving this a 2.5 (it wasn't, as the review demonstrates), why does that invalidate my opinion? Maybe the repetition was so disconcerting that it spoiled all the other elements of the record, which were solid. Again- that is an opinion. You may not agree, but that does not mean the review is bad. Indeed, it means the review is honest, which is what all reviews should strive for. Expansion, in that case, would be disingenuous.

If you remove all the lines you repeated we'd be left with a mediocre piece that is almost enough to warrant a soundoff. Don't believe that your writing is either strong or cohesive, because its not

I'm not saying your opinion isn't valid. Repetition is terrible to some people. but you really don't expand on other things about this people. People want more out of a review than just a "joke" about how it's repetitious. People want to know what the music is like, we get it's repetitious but WHAT ELSE.

Seems weird already having a review of an Agalloch album the day after it was released. Their stuff usually needs a bit to sink in at least.

If you are the only person who doesn't think your review sucks, then it sucks. Hate to burst your bubble man.

I like your idea for this review, but it was really annoying trying to actually read it
