[QUOTE=IsItLuck?]The last time I saw Britney Spears review on this forum?[/QUOTE]
and why might I ask, did you waste perfectly good space on the page, and in the forum database, to say that?

Music is opinionated. Get that through your freaking head. If they are your favorite band, that means that you like the music they make more than anyone else, which means for you, it is the best. Alter Bridge makes, IMO, the best music in the world, hence I think they are the greatest band in the world.
Yeah, so in a review when you are trying to be unbiased. See if I didn't like the Pixies and I saw somebody by the name of Pixiesfanyo review a Pixies album and give it a 5/5 then I would be like. "Oh well, he just likes that band". But if I see them give it a 4/5 or something lower I think. "So he is willing too admit the band has it's faults and he provided examples of what bands I might like that sound like the pixies. Well good review." When we see you say. Oh man, this is the best album ever released once it has only been released for "three weeks" (On the internet). Then we think. "Wow bias..I guess I should check it out..But this is kind of a meaningless review." The point of a review isn't an ode to your favorite band. It is suppose to encourage unknown fans that "Hey this band is good, if you like these bands check them out." I'm not trying too be an asshole if that's what you think. When I first heard Alter Bridge's single I was like..bah. But after listening too a couple of tracks I can see they are a decent rock band. The only thing is your review didn't make me want too download those tracks. It was your constant argument. I just wanted too see what you making such a big deal was. And in my opinion it wasn't a big deal.

Hehe. But you downloaded em, didn't you?
If Alter Bridge is your favorite band and writes the best music in your opinion then I don't think you should have done this review because it was completely biased. I did a converge review and I didn't rate it 5/5 because I loved the album. I thought the score I gave the CD was justifiable to the CD itself and to potential buyers who enjoy that type of music. I did not give them a 5/5 because they are my favorite band and the most talented band, such as you did.
This continues to confuse me. I want someone, RIGHT NOW, to give me the guidelines for a 5/5 (and don't give me that "groundbreaking" crap, it is almost impossible to be groundbreaking, everyone has done everything, some people just do it better now), and I want to know of some 5/5 ALBUMS. I still haven't gotten any response to that question. I wonder why. Is it because as soon as you list one, I could immediately disagree with you, and since I disagree with you, your review must be biased?
By the way, what other bands are your favorite bands, just curious.
Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, and some others.

That is called just being stupid.
5/5 Albums.
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
Most Zeppelin/Beatles albums.
The guidelines of a 5/5 album is that.
It would change somebodies opinion of a genre. Say you don't like alternative music. Ok Computer is a perfect intro too that genre because it borders on many genres rather than alternative music. Also many bands release ground breaking albums now a days. Coheed and Cambria have changed the face of Pop-Punk. The Mars Volta is working to bring back sound manupliation (SP). And The Dillinger Escape Plan is bringing jazz into the hardcore scene. The thing is Alter Bridge is just following the stencils left by other bands. If they released a truly amazing modern rock album. It is still just. a modern rock album. Therefore it should be a 4 or a 4.5. But if they make a modern rock album that starts too incorporate other musical ideas or does it more successfully than other albums. Then yes it should deserve a 5/5

What if I don't like the beatles? Is it still a great album for me? Didn't think so. And OK computer? I like that album, and, as I stated, I like Radiohead, but it HAS to be the most overrated album ever. It is good. But I mean, COME ON, just LISTEN to number seven on that album! And some of the other songs aren't all that great either.
As for Mars Volta... I haven't actually heard any of their stuff... so I wouldn't know. And I definitely wouldn't say "most" led zeppelin albums are 5/5's. At least, not by your view of the rating system.
So are you "biased" because you would give almost every beatles album a 5/5? "OMG he just loves the beatles he's so biased!!11!!11!"
Just because they were incredibly famous and sold a ton of albums doesn't make them good. Yeah, they revolutionized the industry, no doubting that, but Nirvana revolutionized the industry as well, that doesn't make them good.
I really am starting to believbe that "bias" in reviews, is sort of like "cheap" in video games, at least on this board. Whenever someone doesn't like something, they just shout "BIAS!!!!"
And yes, it DOES happen often.

....First off...Beatles and Zeppelin albums have been out for almost fucking thirty or so years. People still listen too them. They have infulence. Zeppelin basically infulenced every rock band at some level. The Beatles basically infulenced every pop. band at some level.
Second.. I agree Nirvana wasn't a good band in my eyes. I think they were a rip off of the Pixies. But their albums are pieces of art. They are incredible collections of emotional heartfelt poppy alternative songs. Therefore they deserve a 5/5 since they will introduce fans of that genre into it.
Third. You are being biased. Alter Bridge is your favorite band. You gave them 5/5. You say they are the best thing ever. That's called a bias. If you were to say. Alter Bridge are a great band in the genre of Rock n' Roll that'd be ok.

I finally got to take a long hard look at "Open Your Eyes" and I really REALLY don't like Myles' singing voice. He's got that deep bellow that Chris Cornell made famous, but he doesn't release it into a full-out spine-tingling scream that makes Cornell so great.
Also, if you're going to play a fast solo like that (good job on that Mark!) you should speed up the backing tempo. Even if it's just for the solo (see "Total Eclipse" by Iron Maiden for example).
Either way, Myles Kennedy is the worst name for a lead singer since Kip Winger. Doesn't reflect on him as an artist, just saying...

Horrible, Horrible music.
Plain and simple. It's all been done before.

Don't give up on the progression of music just because your favorite band brings nothing new to the proverbial table.

YDload you jsut lsot all my respect... "myles kennedy is a bad name for a singer"
...wow
|

^^^ One of the most bonafide true things said in this thread thus far.
Mark is an excellent player but the guy who said the backing for his solo in the single is dead-on. Something like that needs a different beat. That is why it's so out of place. It IS a great solo but with the given rhythm backing it up, it sounds terribly out of place and tacked-on.
|
| |
Im sorry but im gonna have to disagree with that. I think that the solo fits the song perfectly and ive never heard him being cocky about his playing or saying he is gods gift to music.
Exactly. People who say he is a show-off are idiots. There is simply no evidence to that fact.
It seems like this band is either hit or miss. You either love them or absolutley hate them.
Yeah, because people either like good music or they hate it ;-)

What does that mean? I already said that his name has nothing to do with his ability; it's just really lame. Also, I don't need your respect; no Creed fan has ever given it to me because they're too obsessed with the fact that I hate their favorite band.
|
| |
Why is Myles Kennedy a bad name?
And by the way, Alter Bridge isn't Creed, why do you hate it so?
|
| |
Funny thing is that people complain about music not having solos anymore. Then some guy busts out an awesome solo and people call him a show-off.
People will never be satisfied.
|
| |
Myles is a bad name; that's all there is to it. Also, I don't really hate or like Alter Bridge because I haven't heard enough songs to judge them effectively, but since that whole genre of music is "iffy" to me, and 3/4 of Creed is still a bad combination to me, I will refrain from giving this band my approval.

It's not really a solo. It is so short. And plus Frusciante whips out solos. And so do tons of bands. People who complain about their being no solos are just narrow minded idiots who only listen too the mainstream.
