One other thing tosspot. There is no way the vocals can be described as moaning. They dont exactly sound like Akerfeldt is having a dump

Yeah, this review fucking sucks. I read some of his other work too, just to see if maybe this was a drunken anomaly or something. Nope. The other ones blow too.

Kinda remember deth from way back. Although grammar has always been an issue with him i don't remember his opinions ever being this poorly formulated.

Sounds like "this isnt metal...fail....People only like this to be cool (lolwut)....album sounds gray (duh look at album the album cover, its supposed to)....mikael is a generic sounding vocalist (again lolwut)"

And come on, that "suicide note" goodbye? Way to shit on the bit of reputation you had left man

"wait if you are just leaving now how come i have still never seen you around"

Review is pretty bad, but I've never had any personal problems with this guy and we've had some pleasant interactions in the past. Anyways, take it easy dude.

well written, pos'd.



Although i strongly disagree with the reasoning of Damnation being a 1.5/5, i can see why an old school metal fan like Dethrasher would rate this with 1.5/5.



Plus, I'm wondering whether some people on Sputnik will EVER realize that pos or neg is ONLY about the writing quality of a review and NOT about the "quality" of a reviewer, in terms of his/her conviction towards an album.

It's not just about whether its well written or not... Seriously think about that for a minute. I could write a review that flows well enough but goes nowhere, does that mean I deserve a pos vote?

Even better question.

Why does pos/neg even exist if NOBODY cares/uses it correctly?

I don't think it should exist tbh. I use it, and I appreciate that people care enough to pos/neg my reviews (i only appreciate the latter when they leave constructive criticism or some reason as to why they negged it), but yeah, people get carried away and it's become a big thing for some.

This is an oxymoron, I'm afraid. One can't write something that has a good flow in its meanings, and go nowhere at the same time. Not in my book, at least.





does that mean I deserve a pos vote?



Opinions about music are highly subjective; However, writing skills aren't; Either one writes well or he doesn't write well, although i will admit there are quite a few stages between those two extrema.

Exactly, it's broad. I'd argue that you can write something that flows well but ultimately is compiled of weak points. I wasn't implying good flow in meaning, but rather structurally.

I'd argue that you can write something that 1. flows well but 2. ultimately is compiled of weak points



in case 1 I myself would pos.



in case 2, I myself wouldn't be entitled to neg in ANY case, due to the inherent subjectivity of opinions related to music.

You guys have got to be kidding. How can you call this review well written? Seriously, I don't think this album is that good, but the quality of the writing here is utter shit.

i just re-read it, it has several typos here and there, but overall is a well written ranting review.



It's just my opinion, though.

Grammatically, it's terrible. The way he tries to communicate his ideas is just bad.
