Man, I hope Altmers not trying to pull another Reign in Blood on us. But seriously it seemed like you took everyones negative arguments and used them vaguely in your review. This is an excellent album.

I'm not going to be nice like the rest of these p***ies. Straight up, dude who wrote this "review," if you want to call it that,...you're an idiot.

I think that any hype you heard about this album was generated by Victory Records. ANything BTBAM brought to the table was the music.



Also for every good riff there are 20 bad ones? What does that even mean. You didn't count them out. What riffs are good and where are the many many preceding bad riffs that cancel out these good riffs? Also, this isn't really a riff based album so why not complain about different aspects of the guitar playing.

ok how about "the melodies are just all weird aimless fuddling that goes nowhere"



I wanted to like this album very much. I really did not like it. I think this band has incredible potential. Amazing. It's sad I have to give this a 1. I bought this with all the good hopes in the world and I was so let down. This Message Edited On 09.25.07



Also I actually have that Britney Spears album and listened to it, so I can judge. This Message Edited On 09.25.07

I'll give it another spin sometime and see it if I like it more then, but I really, really doubt it.



On the plus side El Cielo IS awesome.

You said some parts were good and yet you gave it a 1, which as the lowest rating means it's hideous and beyond redemption.

Contradiction city.

Change the rating to a 2 - 2.5 and this would be a decent review.

There were like 3 minutes out of 64 in the whole album I liked. It's not much.

I think the thing is if you're going to tackle an increadbly hyped/much loved album, you either do it fantastically well, or not at all. Anything remotely in between and you WILL get torn apart, regardless of whether or not the hype is justified. This review is just that, well-written and all, but not fantastic, which is the standard you're going to be judged on when you write a review like this.

True dat.



You can really feel the hate with this review. I like it, but I won't vote because I agree with Jom. It's good that you did this though.

Lies.

Tommy's vocals are really offputting on here. They weren't so bad on Alaska, so i dunno what's going on, but it detracted at least a .5 for me.This Message Edited On 09.25.07

i don't even see how half the points in this review can be justified. 30secs of goodness in each song?! listen again and you'll hear the way the sound has peaks and troughs, whether those extremes are heavy/soft, or slow/fast, or atmospheric/brutal. sure, it's a simple tool in the use of dynamics, but the point is, it's effective. at the VERY LEAST, if you're being incredibly harsh on it, this record is a 3/5.



every word of this review smacks of the typical "let's call it shitty because it's highly acclaimed" type of review.
