haha I just checked out the forums because I want to see how this squeal of fortune thing unfolds.



Apparently jagex changed their rules in the databse to adjust this not being contradictory. They got rid of the quote everyone was using against them. Just wow.

it's a good alternative if your pc cries for help when you try to play skyrim or consorts (the good MMO's ofc)

Problematic when most MMOs suck, also it's not really hard getting some proper parts so you can run stuff like Skyrim. It's not like you need a total nerd PC.

Aww too depressing for you? Poor kid.



This and High Violet are both easy 5s (although this is better).

No shit, give me a real number of how big your room is in square meters. How can your room be to small for a PC? It's not like you need a THX system accompanying it.

Ugh (glares).



I try to find bands or artists that I can relate to to make me feel better and not so alone.

As you grow older, things become grayer, less magnificent, and it helps to have some sort of musical

companion there to walk beside you.




In this sense [...] Boxer is a monumental, soul-sucking failure.




So, Boxer is a "soul-sucking failure" in the sense that it doesn't make you feel better and

"not so alone"?



It might seem like then that Boxer is a dark record, full of loss and depression and it

is




The punctuation in this review is really bad.

Some people take drugs, some go for a walk, other just wallow in self-destructive pity



I love how you try to distinguish them as two separate things haha

Interesting review, but I would expand on that shyte cuz it's a bit too general. Some music can be completely depressing with no hope but sound awesome, so I don't know that you can defeat the album based on emotion alone.

That said, this album (and the rest of this band's discog) does absolutely nothing for me so I'm kind of with you there. The thing that puts me off is that the music isn't interesting to me, rather than there being any lack of hope.
