alright, to me it sounds fine. It's just a summary too, and it conveys what I intended.
i had the disturbed discog rated before i got my ratings deleted sometime in march-ish.

Down With The Sickness was THE heaviest song back in the day. That breakdown was sick.

i always thought they were fucking terrible except one song that was average. It was called prayer or voices or something and it went der der der her.

academy, ill see what i can do about making the collective noun band singular (though if "band" is referrenced by a plural pronoun/noun in the same sentence, it must have a plural verb), but as for the band name, and since i often refer to it with a "they" and "their", I will always keep it plural.

Nice review.
I just dont agree with your headline, because how could they regress when every song they've ever released sounds the same?? lol

no. "band" is singular. it's your job as a writer to make sure it's not "referenced by a plural pronoun/noun in the same sentence."

Because people behave as both herd animals and solitary creatures, collective nouns can be either singular or plural, depending on context.
|
| |
edit: got there before I did ^^^
no. they can be either plural or singular, depending on context. If the band act as one, then it's singular, but if the members are acting individually, it's plural.

fair point, but i'm pretty sure they're "fucking regressing on us" in unison though...

It’s like the band have lost the last five years of their time together, coming up with a record that sounds like Ten Thousand Fists’ predictable commercial drive meets Believe’s overall diluted feel.
this is where you will run into trouble. I'm assuming you left this as 'have' despite switching the other perfect tenses to 'has' because of the way the sentence had been originally written (i.e. you used 'their time together' instead of 'its time.') Honestly, the latter would sound retarded, but they are 'losing time' in unison, so you need a singular verb, right?
In other news, did you mean 'predictable commercial drivel'?

I'm gonna have to disagree with you about how you see that as 'in unison', as "the band have lost the last five years of their time together" could easily be seen as the band members themselves individually have lost five years of their time together. The fact it sounds retarded as 'its' may be a reason why the way I interpret it is correct or not, I'm not sure.
No, i meant predictable commercial drive. Each song on ten thousand fists was obviously fashioned for the radio, imo.

are you honestly going to sit here and tell me that's not one of the most retarded things you've ever tried to argue.

in summary it's far too complex to really matter
