I liked Scream Aim Fire at first but I seem to have outgrown it. I'll still go back to it every now and then, however.

This album isn't all that bad at all, The Poison and Scream Aim Fire are laughable

I really enjoyed this review . I love how when people are critical of Bullet For My Valentine they all become guitar aficionados and they can pick out each riff bfmv ripped.

I really liked The Poison, liked a couple of songs on Scream Aim Fire, but this last effort is incredibly disappointing. Nothing original, full of clichés, very lame balads, weak solos and less and less screaming. Remove all the screaming and you're in pop rock!

I was a fan , but not anymore

this was a response to the fact that you wrote this review, in part, as a reaction to the negative reviews that this album was getting. i dislike the whole "if you like this style then its good" attitude. no shit, music is subjective. if you like the sound of someone farting into a microphone at 300 bpm (fart-core, needs to be invented seriously) then its good.
This review was written entirely because of the negative reviews it was getting (and negative comments, even more). It seemed like the comments section was basically being used by people that don't even like this style of music to try to display how elite they can be by how vulgar/imaginative they could be with their announcement of how much the album sucked. That's where the "if you like this style" part came in, because it was nicer than writing a review that basically said "no shit, you don't fuckin' like it".





the trend i was picking out is that there seems to be a transition taking place from the focus on "underground" music to more mainstream stuff. this is still in the very very early stages, more seeds than anything else. i just hope this site doesnt become like PF or some bullshit like that. (yes, PF is relatively mainstream)
I think the trend is going both ways. There are a lot of people that have avoided the mainstream and then they come here and discover that not all "pop" is bad (Bat for Lashes, Dear Euphoria, or even Lily Allen). There are also a lot of people that came here loving Korn and Slipknot and are moving more towards the "underground" as well.



point is, instead of growing towards the mainstream, sputnik should dive even deeper underground. this broadens musical horizons as well as keeps the memberbase (who i expect a large portion would agree with me) happy
Sputnik needs to appeal to the mainstream to a certain extent because A) It's not all bad and B) It pays the bills.

Not sure if anyone has asked this already, but is that a shadow of Ned Kelly on the album cover??

Guys it's not that bad...

















hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Oh and I think Sputnik needs more mainstream people because the fact is this site makes out to be all bad becuase it's not

br00tal, foreign, or deep, which is not the case when most people listen to music.

Personally, I don't have any problem with a mainstream sound. What I have a problem with, on this album, is the fact that most of the songs start to get really boring halfway through. Also, a lot of the lyrics are bad. But at least As I Lay Dying's new album is coming out soon to balance that out...

The intro of Dignity sounds like the intro of Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow.

review was nice, thank you.



bullet were good back in the days of their first record, then SAF came and brought the worst: mainstream, hype² and metallica-fakes³. fever seems to be pretty much in between, featuring some good and some meh songs, overall much more enjoyable and catchy than SAF, even with their mainstream appeal.

it was in between a 2.5 and 3 for me after the first listen, so I decided to give ranks for each song and take the intersection of it.



4.5: 4

4: 5, 6

3: 1, 7, 8, 10, 11

2: 2, 3, 9



so the intersection(33.5/11) was 3.045~ and I finally give it a 3.

You only gave Breaking Out, Breaking Down a 3? That one was my favorite on the album (which I admit doesn't say much). It's very catchy.
