I need a hug willie. Can you ship hugs?
I can't, but what if I spray some of my cologne into a box and then send that box and then you could close your eyes and open it and pretend I gave you a hug and I'm so close you can even smell me...

Shit don't go Van Gough on me too soon Willie. lol



I can't believe how many people are so unforgiving on first reviews. The site is meant to share opinions and cultivate writing skills, and look at what we are now: a cesspool of hounds biting at every little bone that falls their way, until any trace that it was ever there is gone.



Grow up people. Having fun with trolling comments is nice to do and quite relaxing (and strangely time consuming), but we are quickly becoming a hellbent mob, tearing apart any new meat that comes along.

lmao! thank you Willie, I appreciate that, really i do. and thank you Jacktiger for the sympathy vote. I don't think the summary is stupid as hell.

Laurie: good to know that because you disagreed you negged, I mean, that mixed with like two or three spelling errors... I don't know how you endured it.

Surely, Laurie, your first review was PERFECT.


That's irrelevant



And you do realise it isn't JUST me negging this.

because you disagreed you negged


no, it's because i know for a fact that everyone i know that has listened to this album more than once listens to the Nunc tracks, therefore your statement is categorically false.



and there's more than 2 or 3 near the end, i could fetch them all for you.

I never once said that, you assumed it. And I don't listen to the Nunc tracks... so I could care less if you know people that do, I know people who don't. You could fetch them for me if you wanted to; go ahead, make yourself look better, I can take criticism, unless you're just being an ass.

'I never once said that, you assumed it'. Was going out to 'someguest'

I think the issue here is that people consider the review an attack of their opinions, and fail to realize the simplicity of the fact that it's JUST ANOTHER OPINION. Shit happens ALL the time. Think eggs and ketchup are great? Fuck, sounds nasty to me.



There is no insult in the review except maybe the immature stab at Hanson (which you should get rid of gyro); other than that, it's a perfectly valid opinion. Is it cultivated? Perhaps not. But please shut the fuck up with your prissy self righteous bullshit about how someone's innocent review has offended your sacrosanct beliefs.

so I could care less if you know people that do


then why did you say "that everyone will skip" then? it's like you are saying that no one enjoys those tracks, when people clearly do.

Are you implying that I should be offended by his opinion, someguest? I disagree with it, surely; I love this album. But he will think what he will, and if he wants to write about it, so be it. It was, perhaps, an ill choice to choose such an opinion to write about for his debut, but alas, what's in the past is in the past. I confess that some new reviewers are simply trolls, and an experiment was conducted to show how much a group of dicks we are; just look at Rasputin's Wintersun review. 700 angry comments within one day. The funny part is the review was written finely, but no one wanted to submit to an opinion so violently different.This Message Edited On 03.25.09

but as long as people like you exist, that's apparently not possible


Well there are loads of people like me that enjoy those 2 tracks so yes it's false to assume that!

Anyway my first post on here was just constructive criticism, but you took it as an insult. You could improve the review by removing the sweeping statement and giving it a proof-read to eliminate those spelling errors but whatever.

To clarify, this wasn't a troll review, but I must confess, I'm enjoying seeing people freak out about it.

I'm still thinking that I may delete it... If I fix the errors I won't start getting pos' so why bother?

I pos'd. The negging is getting out of hand. The problem is mostly due to the album being negatively rated not the review. I've seen much worse first reviews without any negs.



Also, what is all this talk of butt-darts? I was just offereing to send my masculine scent through the mail... I wanted to send cookies and he wasn't having it!

Thank you, I will. Someguest is a real asshole, but I can't let people like that put me down.

Thanks Willie... I will prove myself yet, I agree with what you said earlier, I don't know a lot about this genre or this record, and I should have spun it a few more times and took the time to write a more in depth review. But come on... it wasn't that bad, I think people are randomly coming on here and negging due to the rating.

Knowing willie he'd probably just send a demo CD with a bottle of cologne and call it a hug
