I think I'm going to kill myself because I'll never be as awesome on Sputnik as Deviant.

Guide to being a Sputnik elitist.



1. Spend all day/night on computer listening to new music so you are ready to jump on the new review thread as soon as it pops up.



2. Find someone who has a point of view other than yours.



3. Insert clever and sarcastic comments about said person.



4. Avoiding confronting actual issues about music being discussed by Laughing Out Loud at anything said person says.



5. Continue to try and make other person feel stupid when they respond.



6. Gloat in your victory of superior sarcasm as friends join in harassment.



More Opeth!!!

"Do you think before you type, seriously? I mean what the fuck are you even trying to say here? That's some of the

dumbest shit I have ever seen on this site"



There is a small group of you who consistently show up on a pretty ridiculous amount of review threads on here,

seemingly just to call people stupid. Get over yourselves. Must have pretty great lives, that you can spend so much

of your day going around and trying to make your selves feel superior to everyone else on a music review site. Now I

am finally starting to see why people think Sputnik is filled with a bunch of musical elitists.



Don't misread this as me saying that my opinion/rating of this album is right and yours is wrong. I still can care less

who likes this album or not. But to say that this album lacks structure, which is the main assertion I have been

arguing against, is still wrong. Anyways, I am sure this is all a waste of my time, as you will probably still not

understand what I am saying, and LOL at it.

P.S. I was actually being sarcastic above. You guys all win. I now see the error in my judgments and opinions. How stupid I must of sounded disagreeing with all of these perfect arguments you have presented. Good bye. Enjoy your victory, and I wish you all many more victories over other weak-minded fools, with their inferior opinions.

But what you don't understand is that unless one of you goes deeper than a surface-level assertion, his argument that it's not structured and yours that it is both hold equal weight.

choppy structure and unecessary genre breaks

You don't seem to understand though that you're guilty of the same thing you're essentially "accusing" Phleb of, just in reverse. I mean, you seem like a pretty reasonable and intelligent individual so I'm surprised at how black and white you're taking this.

My review spells out this structure, section by section, and even has a diagram to visually represent the structure. I

don't think I can make my case any clearer. Yet all responses to my argument and review, had nothing to do with

anything in it. Always came back to your views are stupid, and no one can be right because they are just opinions.

I tried to take the argument the next step and argue that there is a component of objectivity to music that can be used

in describing the quality of something. Their response, avoidance and insults. Some real intelligence going on in this

thread here.

saying "no one can be right because they are just opinions" and then saying "But to say that this album lacks structure,...is still wrong" is extremely hypocritical. please think things through before you say them. whether an album SOUNDS structured or not to an INDIVIDUAL is their opinion, whether you can accept that or not. you cant PROVE an album is structured; the most you can do is assert why you believe it is.

Okay listen, you think there is structure to the music. That's cool, but some of us don't. And sure there are a couple of idiots who would rather just say "you're an idiot if you like this" the more reasonable of us are just simply saying to ourselves "okay, he thinks there is, we don't though". You're the one kicking up a fuss and saying we're wrong. I mean has this somehow eluded you? Just because you haven't resorted to childish name calling hasn't taken away from the fact that you're being every bit as unreasonable as you're claiming we've been

Did you have to do this to justify enjoyment? Do we all have to think of music as some kind of mathematical equation in order for us to enjoy it, or deem it coherent? No. And what did your "review" prove exactly? That my god, these songs have recurring elements to them!

Look guys look, structure! It's based on a simple repeating formula

No matter what this band does, people are going to criticize the hell out of it. Either people will say they're going too over the top and wanking off all other the place. Or people will say that they're holding back and pulling out the same old tricks.

Poor guys.

I actually like this quite a bit. I think it has a good amount of fresh ideas, and avoids being overly self indulgent.

I agree, sometimes it is choppy, and sometimes the dissonant chords seem out of place. It really doesn't affect my opinion on the band, from my standpoint, they make a lot of interesting connections within their music, and that's what I would consider their form of structure. Not so much that a song will sound like they made it flow perfectly, but that they made interesting connections with parts that otherwise wouldn't match up. That's just my opinion, and sometimes I'm not in the mood for it either, but when I want to hear that, I'll go to these guys...



Hopefully that makes sense, and I really don't wanna sound like a fan boy...but I do like these guys a lot when the right mood strikes.
