War...
I think I realized why your profile picture is so off-putting to me. It's cause it's from Brink. I had really high hopes for that game, but it really failed me... So yeah. It's that or the fact that your character is a darkie.

... Yeah it's probably cause he's black.

I love Brand New. The fact that I think your disliking for this album is related to that doesn't change the fact that TBS got yet another hyperbolic and misleading review from this website.

Ohkay
Well that actually makes a lot of sense. And yeah, I know that feeling.
To quote Touche Amore:
"Now I understand there's allure to fitting a certain mold
But bands dropping off the conveyor belt is getting fucking old"

El Paso, This Is All Now, Best Places and You Got Me are three of the best songs this band has ever made.

for fuck's sake, what is "hyperbolic" or "misleading" about listening to an album, not enjoying it, and then writing a negative review for it? just shut up

Nothing. Except everything. As a reviewer, he has responsabilities. Like the New Again review, this one is also a misleading review, he liking the record or not. This is far from a "very poor" album for its genre, it's actually the best record this band has done after TAYF and deserved more credit than a reviewer going "omg it leaked, omg it sucks, omg i'll write a bashing hyperbolic review about it since I'm a staff reviewer on a respectable website".



The album deserved better. Sputnik deserved better. It's not like this is the second coming of Christ, but it's almost a blasphemy to give New Again a 5/5 and right next give this a 1.5/5. When it comes down to history, it wasn't Adam Downer who gave this album this score. The same about New Again 5/5. Sputnik did, and this just sounds wrong. And a bad joke, from a website that is acknowledged for not only well written, but well thought out reviews.
