No, he does not. I really don't see how it's an "over-emulation" of emo, and he seems to completely miss the fact that this is a fairly pop punk influenced album. Also, he doesn't like Snowing.

Album Rating: 4.0

this album is solid at best. doesn't do much for me.

Album Rating: 3.0

not sure if this is my thing although it has its moments

Album Rating: 5.0

Meh, I don't like snowing either. Don't really hear this in the same way I hear most modern emo, and the band don't think of themselves as that either so I don't think he's right making that connection

Housebroken is one of my favs in this.



And yea Joshie, might just bump it but right now i think i've binge listened to this enough in the last days. Gonna give it some time

Among the wildflowers and Life in Drag it is for me



i think fantano gets this record pretty fine. i feel mostly the same.

Album Rating: 4.5

The guy seems to know what he's talking about more than i ever could, he seems to know the emo/rock scene fairly well. Having that said, i still feel like this band is miles ahead of the average emo band tbh.

ey if you guys like this shit here's an Australian emo/alternative kind of pop-punkish band called Ceres

fartano's review is kinda bad

who is this fantano dude and why does he matter? i've seen his site and a video or two, but i just don't get it

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed, the review wasn't that good. The dude seems to know his shit, but i still don't feel like he

nailed the review at all



Great dig Emyay

he doesn't, people just like to think he does

This thread's review is far better when it comes to "get the album". Adam absolutely nailed that.



Haha i guess, knowing the background of a genre doesn't make him instantly apt to review a band in 2014

Album Rating: 4.0

its just boring sometimes tbh. not memorable enuf. nothing sticks out nothing i would find myself listening to in one row without getting bored

gotta disagree, sry

Fantano is /mu/ 's poster child. Overly pretentious and 'pretending' to get all these high order things from 'intellectual' music when it's more about just enjoying music or not enjoying it. Sometimes he absolutely nails things but most of the time he says his opinion and people quote it and rely on it like it's the word of God cos it sounds like he's being so knowledgeable and objective.



Hint: he isn't really

Album Rating: 5.0

That being said, I don't dislike the guy, he seems really cool if a bit up himself musically. He doesn't try and present his reviews as fact, but the plenty of people do take them like that.

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah but if you're gonna be like that then there isn't any point in reading review on sputnik is there? music criticism is kind of stupid

yeah i just watched a couple of his vids. he's better than i thought. he's got an interesting little thing he's got going on and like you said js, he doesn't act like they're fact or anything so i'm fine with it
