***** Ok, it is time for CLUE #3 to what will be my 100th review. The previous 2 clues are on the last couple of pages of comments to this review. This new clue should narrow it down quite a bit with regards to the timeframe we are dealing with:

The following is another excerpt from review #100:

"'???' is not only an even and consistently impressive album that should appeal to a wide audience, but it is one which has stood the test of time. In fact, it sounds just as fresh now as it did when it was released approximately 20 years ago!"

Album Rating: 4.0

Hysteria. Definitley.

I want this album to keep growing on me soooo much. It's getting there.

Keep giving it every chance lexicons. Something I occasionally do when I am in a similar position is to listen to the tracks on shuffle. OR in a different order; With this album, I occasionally gave it a few listens starting at track 6-13 & then 1-5.

Savior and The Dirt Whispered have to be my favorites. Just out of curiosity;have you ever seen Rise Against live Davey?

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Nope. BUT ask me the same question again at the end of March and my answer will be "YES"... I can't wait!!!

Not wanting to get you overly pumped up or anything...but it's good. Tim really makes the show

Mate, I couldn't get any more pumped than I already am & it's still 9 weeks to the gig!

***** Ok, I better start churning through the clues concerning my upcoming 100th review. Here is...

CLUE #4: The name of the album has 1 word.

Album Rating: 3.0

From First to Last: Aesthetic



I still think it's "Hysteria" though. Especially since you convieniently don't have it rated anymore.This Message Edited On 01.22.09

Nope Trey... I suppose this is CLUE #5: The album in question is indeed one that I do NOT have currently rated.

However, your insinuation that I withdrew a rating of 'Hysteria' is incorrect... I have never had it rated.

By the way Trey, if I do get to double figures in clues (time dependant), there will be one clue that will definitely pique your interest.

Album Rating: 3.0

Well that sucks. I had nothing better to do so I went through all of your ratings of bands with single-word album titles and now I find out you haven't even rated it yet. I don't regret it though; it wasted time, at least.



Edit: I'm at work with nothing to do... I love it. (I guess I could finish that Cannibal Corpse review).This Message Edited On 01.22.09

Where do you reside Trey? I always presumed the States... If so, can I presume you work interesting hours...

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm from San Diego, California but I've been in Atlanta, Georgia for the past year or so. Yeah, I work 11pm to 6am.

They are 2 rather different cities from having been to both areas in 2005. I even went to a Braves game! But yeah, Atlanta is a bit too far from water for my liking.

Ok, it is time for…

Clue #6: The album cover is rather bright with a common shape being prominent.

Album Rating: 4.0

dude it HAS to be Hysteria. Unless your one crafty bugger :P

Still can't believe your seeing rise against! I really wanna see them!

Clue 6???
Last time i looked you only had two. Your going too fast Davey.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Sorry Billy, but I may end up posting the review tomorrow night Aus time, so I thought I'd churn through the first half-dozen or so.

To recap, here are the clues in a nutshell:

(1) The album is arguably a little front-loaded, but there are still good tracks on the 2nd half.

(2) No current staff member or contributor had even rated the album as at 31/12/'08.

(3) The album was released approximately 20 years ago.

(4) The name of the album has 1 word.

(5) I have not personally rated the album as yet.

(6) The album cover is rather bright with a common shape being prominent.

***** And now, for CLUE #7:

The name of the group has 2 words.

I agree with Savior as #1 track on CD.

apology accepted
bahahaha, has to be Hysteria
Wait a sec how many clues are you doing, you might as well just tell us.This Message Edited On 01.23.09
