and I agree with betray and asleep about the review, I feel like you need to get more to the point on why you think this is bad. You just end up making a bunch of Transformers jokes and not a lot of people are going to take you seriously because of it.

Album Rating: 4.5

Wait, is this a Starset review or a Transformers review?

Album Rating: 3.0

my point exactly

Great write up. Loved the comparison between this album and those horribly hyped up, substanceless films.

Yeah, I personally love this review. Never connected this band to Transformers before, but the comparison makes complete sense, and you explain why thoroughly without getting so wrapped up in the analogy that you lose the focus on the music itself. Great job.

Album Rating: 1.5

yeah i thought the rev was decent



tho the comparison does go on for a bit too long

"Vessels sounds, at least, like an over-the-top attempt to be featured on film’s butt rock soundtrack."

I died.

This is an okay review, but I think you went a bit far with the Transformers comparison. It worked for the first few paragraphs, but you never really transitioned into speaking only about the album in question.

"Megan Fox’s glistening midriff and lovely bosom dangling over a steamy radiator" lmfao

In my defense, I feel like I do. It's just metaphorical and not literal at first. Every review has the challenge of explaining how something is to someone who hasn't experienced it. Bay's Transformers movies -- as negatively received over for his Bayisms -- was a way to relate to this and describe and say why it's bad all at once.



Perhaps, this could have been more concise and the metaphor extends too long, fine, but, I do there is some detailed analysis of the actual music itself. Plus, I was having fun, so screw me, haha.

Sowing gets it, and the endorsement is enough for me.

Album Rating: 3.0

fair enough, it is a well written review but yeah the comparisons went too far. I feel like that entire second paragraph and some of the third paragraph could be cut out and the review would look a lot better.



I just think it's just way too long (just like the album :-P)

Yeah I agree, good concept but the section where you go on about Megan Fox is the bit that loses me a little

Album Rating: 2.0

Oh, well. The point is that she's pure sex appeal, superficial eye candy that everyone enjoyed when we first saw her in the original Transformers -- a guilty pleasure. Same thing, at least for me, with Starset's debut. But then on this LP and the Transformer's sequels we realize how overblown and shallow Bay's Transformers, Fox, and Starset really are.

Album Rating: 2.0

I do appreciate the feedback, positive and constructive, from everyone, btw. I do have a tendency to get abstract.

Chorus instrumental for Die for You is basically Doomed

No I got the point that you were making by discussing Megan Fox, my point was that it was excessive. Well deserved feature regardless

I like the comparison because it's pretty accurate. God, what a snooze of an album.



Also, pos.

I thought the first album was decent but went on too long; they were kind of a diet pepsi version of Thirty Seconds to Mars. How long is this album?

10 minutes longer than the last. I'm avoiding completely

It's 70 minutes. There's the unnecessary instrumentals in between way too many tracks.
