i know the feeling, unexplained negs are bitches. but my comment was more directed at your tendency to write excellent reviews and get 0 negs every time, not towards your rant

@ Irving:

Would you think about the review differently had I omitted the more jokey lines? And if yes, how?

Absolutely. I was so busy laughing from your ridiculous metaphors/similes that I virtually forgot the purpose of the review. I know that seems silly coming from someone who loves using metaphors, but there is such a way to use metaphors so as to assume and provoke appropriate negativity.

"New Divide" - which has always been one of the band's weakest songs to begin with.

LOL okay XD For a moment there I thought that I had come across as a bit of a tight-wad and you were calling me out on it; my apologies in any case lol. And yes, unexplained negs = sad face.



@ kintups:

That was very helpful criticism. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time. Hmm. You've actually made me realize that I take a bit of a carpet-bombing approach with regard to making jokes in reviews. There's definitely more merit to using precision-guided missiles instead.



Here I go with the lame metaphors again LOL.

This is for pizzamachine, while we're still on the "metaphors" trail:



It is as clear as antlers on a moose that this particular live performance of "New Divide" was always supposed to segue into "Faint"



The original analogy that I was going to use was actually "balls on a dog". So yeah, it could have been a lot worse LOL.

@ Tyraelxy: EXCELLENT.

@ Brick: That's surprising! What were your favourite moments on it?



@ Bloc: Sorry...but what's a puta? (potentially n00b question right here)



@ Pizza: INDEED. I've watched it like fifty times. And I'm not exaggerating. In fact I may actually be understating it.

Why?

Yup, fair enough - a couple of other guys have been saying that too. Obviously I was aiming for a specific type of introduction, but what you're saying makes sense - I'll keep it in mind for my next reviews for sure.



And now, my customary expression of gratitude:



"I would like to thank theacademy..."

he he he

"puta" is "bitch" in spanish i'm pretty sure

The omniscient being that is Google Translate has just told me "Puta de Alcala" means "Alcala whore."
