Pos'd don't know whats the deal with the neg's I enjoyed nice simple little review. Im probably gonna give this a listen soon I've always been a fan of danny so thats a must

According to kerrangs 5 k's we should be listening to this 'classic' and loving it for about another 60 years

Jesus, I haven't read kerrang for years, I guess it really has turned into the terrible fashionista rock magazine it always wanted to be

Consider yourself lucky mate, people I know practically worship it

I stopped taking Kerrang seriously when they gave My Chemical Romance's Danger Days a 5

Album Rating: 3.0

I liked Danger Days :^/

I think I stopped reading kerrrang about 15 years ago! They just follow trends and fashion, they do very little to promote decent bands.
I'm sure they gave St Anger 5/5 and also gave Machine Heads Through the Ashes 2/5, then retracted both statements. I don't mind what your opinion is but stick to it! Pathetic attempt to bandwagon jump.

They make a prediction of what the general consensus will be, regardless of what they really think (which goes against the point of reviewing in the first place).

They gave Sempiternal 5 k's ffs. I like Sempiternal and all and it's arguably BMTH's strongest work but it ain't THAT gooood.

Completely agree with you, Therapy

The day Kerrang! Actually review something that's genuine will be the day I listen to this album

it would be hard for this band to have picked a worse band name

What about "We are desperate" ?

that isnt even as bad

This band will soon enough fade away

Album Rating: 2.5

to be fair, Danger Days and Sempiternal were way way better than this



i'm giving it a curiosity listen and so far its main sin is just being boring, to be expected

Album Rating: 2.5

this review isn't terrible so i'm not gonna neg, but it's not really that great either. I'll give some feedback:



" In fact, the slower songs serve as highlights (Someday, I Tried) as opposed to purely filler. There is in fact not a bad song on this album." --- don't use phrases so close to each other, repeating "in fact" sounds awkward here. Easy mistake to make, but the more varied you make your writing, the more compelling people will find it. you also generally want to avoid saying things like "there isn't a bad song on this album" - just describe the ones that are good and don't mention any bad things and people will get the point and will get a better idea of what the individual songs song like.



You describe the types of songs on the album, but aside from some of the "slow" tunes you don't name or go into detail about any of them. we don't really get a good idea of what the album sounds like from this.



"And just being pedantic, the single version of Denial is different to (and in my opinion slightly better than) the album version." --- it's ok to bring this up, but the context you place it in makes you sound a little like a fanboy. You do a better job than most at concealing it, and it's ok to make no secret that you love the band in question in a review, but it's just something to keep in mind that you don't want to appear too already sold by something when writing a review, or people will dismiss it and not use it when considering whether they'll listen to it.



Finally, I understand you're probably using a mental structure for the closing paragraph, but there's no need to repeat the flaws you just described in the paragraph right above. if you're going for a humorous approach, you could have used that space more to expand on that.



Overall you just need to work a lot on flow, word variety, describing the music more, and not repeating things in your structure. All of that stuff comes with practice and time, so keep at it!
