Atari
06.30.13 | I'll get this thing started again. A maximum of 50 people can play so let's see if we can fill this list up! NOTE: Please submit albums that actually need a review |
DegausserGuernica24
06.30.13 | Radiohead - Amnesiac |
Mister Twister
06.30.13 | Majestic - Trinity Overture
Every track is on YouTube, at the very least. |
Atari
06.30.13 | @Degausser, dude that album has like over 10 reviews including a staff review lol. You should pick somethng that acutally NEEDS a review |
YoYoMancuso
06.30.13 | Converge-Jane Doe |
Atari
06.30.13 | lol mancuso. yeah i'm not putting any albums on this list if they have multiple reviews already |
SpiritCrusher2
06.30.13 | Zealotry - The Charnel Expanse |
Atari
06.30.13 | alright so we have 4 takers so far including myself lol |
Atari
06.30.13 | depends how fast the list fills up but prolly a few days |
grish
06.30.13 | i haven't reviewed ever is this a good way to start |
Atari
06.30.13 | i don't see why not as long as you're willing to follow through and review the album you're assigned. |
Chortles
06.30.13 | i reviewed my album for the last game like 6 months late so i probably shouldn't play again |
Judio!
06.30.13 | Metallica and Lou Reed - Lulu |
Atari
06.30.13 | there's not really a time limit as long as you get it done lol at least you reviewed it even if it did take half a year ;) |
Atari
06.30.13 | @JudioRuso, lol it has to be an album that doesn't already have a review |
Judio!
06.30.13 | Oh, ok.
In that case, I say Havok - "Burn." |
Atari
06.30.13 | sounds good added to the list! |
Mister Twister
06.30.13 | I swear, if I get the Havok album, I'm gonna flip some shit. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
06.30.13 | Hank Crawford - Tico Rico (jazz). I can't add to database though cos my laptop is fucked and I aint doing that shit on Iphone, ya hear? |
Judio!
06.30.13 | Give Raise the Havok album! Give him the Havok album!!! |
Atari
06.30.13 | @butterybiscuitbass, i'll add it to the database later.
@judio, nice try ;) |
ButteryBiscuitBass
06.30.13 | Thanks mate. You should dig. Full album is streaming on youtube:
http://youtu.be/AK597ieohQ4
|
Mad.
06.30.13 | Bastard, Banana wouldn't let me host the Game.
Anyway my album is: Head Like A Hole - Blood Will Out since it didn't get reviewed last time.
Atari, make sure you match albums as close to the reviewers' taste as possible or this will go horribly. |
Atari
06.30.13 | "Banana wouldn't let me host the Game"
i didn't even ask him lol didn't know i had to hope it's not a big deal |
Mad.
06.30.13 | Haha it's probably fine, he deserved it for not making it himself xD. I reckon we should do one every month/two months, add some interactivity to reviewing. And there's a lot of stuff I'd like to do but can't be arsed to |
Mister Twister
06.30.13 | Man, Sputnik still hasn't approved the replacement (read: functional) image I sent in for Trinity Overture. It does have an album cover, it's right here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Amukz5IhL._SL500_AA300_.jpg |
TheGreatQ
06.30.13 | Centox - Centox
I missed the last one of these, and of course the next one comes while I'm banned. Made an alt just to get in on it lol. I'll do the review on my real account though. |
Mister Twister
07.01.13 | Bumping this. |
DegausserGuernica24
07.01.13 | Hot Water Music - Caution |
Atari
07.01.13 | @Degausser, you're fired |
Judio!
07.01.13 | "Atari, make sure you match albums as close to the reviewers' taste as possible or this will go horribly."
Agreed. |
tommygun
07.01.13 | i'm keen will get back to you later with an album
too tedious to search sput on me phone |
YakNips
07.01.13 | Mogwai - 4 Satin |
Atari
07.01.13 | "Atari, make sure you match albums as close to the reviewers' taste as possible or this will go horribly."
I thought it was supposed to be just completey random? lol but i can make sure ahead of time it's not something they will hate before assigning the albums |
TheGreatQ
07.01.13 | If you are going to want to see what we like, I'm [redacted]. |
Judio!
07.01.13 | Oh, I wasn't sure if that was the case, Atari. It's just that there's no way I can give a fair review of a genre I don't like. For example, if I'm assigned a jazz album to review, I'm not to know what to say. I'm not a fan of jazz at all so I'd instinctively give it a low score, but the album may be a masterpiece. See what I'm saying? |
Atari
07.01.13 | I hear ya I can keep users personal taste in mind just gotta wait for more people to participate before i worry about assigning the albums |
Judio!
07.01.13 | Ok. Is there a set date that you will start assigning the albums? |
Pestiferous
07.01.13 | oh very well i suck at reviewing but so does everyone else so i think this one could use some more recognition
The County Medical Examiners - Forensic Fugues and Medicolegal Medleys |
Pestiferous
07.01.13 | "Atari, make sure you match albums as close to the reviewers' taste as possible or this will go horribly."
seriously, if at all possible, please give me a metal album. my closed mind doesnt know how to critique any other genre |

Crawl

Mad.
07.01.13 | Another thing you have to do Atari is shoutbox everyone with the album they have to review otherwise they might never know |
omnipanzer
07.01.13 | I've seen better results in the past if the match ups are a little more well thought out but it is your time and I don't want to obligate you to more than you are wanting to do. |
Yuli
07.01.13 | Randomness is fun though! |
facupm
07.01.13 | Riff - Contenidos |
facupm
07.01.13 | If possible i'd like a metal album, its the genre i dig and it would be hard for me to review electronica for example.

JohnnyoftheWell

Evreaia

facupm

Atari

Give it a 5 |
Atari
07.01.13 | @Concubinary, it has to be an album without a review
@sonic, again nice try |
ConcubinaryCode
07.01.13 | It doesn't have a review |
Atari
07.01.13 | Look again lol. |
DinosaurJones
07.01.13 | I haven't written a review in like 2 years. This should be interesting. I kind of want this to fill up now :P |
facupm
07.01.13 | funny game |
Atari
07.01.13 | it's not meant to be funny lol ;) |
facupm
07.01.13 | and best way to contribute too |
facupm
07.01.13 | but it is i mean, you usually check out new albums just to check them, not to prepare yourself to write a serious review about it |
Atari
07.01.13 | it would be more funny if i gave you a pop punk album to review :P |
facupm
07.01.13 | lol it would be the worst review ever |
Insurrection
07.01.13 | justin timberlake - justified |
Atari
07.01.13 | lol all 3 soundoffs for that album are the same ^ |
facupm
07.01.13 | lol i noticed that too |
ViperAces
07.01.13 | looks like youre doing well ataru |
Atari
07.01.13 | wanna play? |
ViperAces
07.01.13 | nah i cant write a review under pressure |

Atari
07.02.13 | it's starting to fill up nicely : ) I will announce the assignments tomorrow |
klap
07.02.13 | wtf justified doesn't have a review? |

reportingbird

tcat84
07.02.13 | oooo so we submit and get assigned a random one??? i thought we were doing the one we submitted... this could get interesting |
tcat84
07.02.13 | i skipped to number 3.) in the rules... probably a bad idea |
ViperAces
07.02.13 | I cant think of another album so Europe - Wings Of Tomorrow |
Mad.
07.02.13 | If anyone wants me to choose an album for them, I'd love to :D |
Atari
07.02.13 | Last call for submissions before I update the list and start assigning |
Mad.
07.02.13 | Bump yo |
Atari
07.02.13 | I don't think anybody else is gonna join lol i'll start the assignments on my lunch break |
Judio!
07.02.13 | Sounds great! |
Atari
07.02.13 | we need ONE more submission so we have an even number of albums! |
manosg
07.02.13 | 16 is awesome, props to the dude that selected it. |
Atari
07.02.13 | 16 is the best submission so far agreed. manosg you should play! |
InfamousGrouse
07.02.13 | and 154 is finally gonna get a review, good stuff. |
manosg
07.02.13 | hehe, I'm afraid I don't have the discipline mang. I review one album every 3-4 months and I'm in the middle of reviewing one right now, so for the next 3-4 months I'll lay low, lol. |
Atari
07.02.13 | it's all good. grouse? lol come on we need one more player |
InfamousGrouse
07.02.13 | ah what the hell the last one of these was quite fun i guess
my submission is
UK Subs - Another Kind of Blues |
pissbore
07.02.13 | atari plz use my riffs of truth 6 list and get those albums reviewed thx |
Atari
07.02.13 | cool deal man.
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED!! |
ViperAces
07.02.13 | i actually havent heard any of these albums, should be cool |
Atari
07.02.13 | who likes Jazz in the group? 19 will prolly have to be assigned carefully |
pissbore
07.02.13 | also since SgtPepper disappeared (and thus his review is indefinitely MIA) plz add High Power - High Power to the list |
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | No!!!!!! Atari!!!!!! |
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | T_T why you do dis to me? |
Atari
07.02.13 | what man? |
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | I wanna submit one. T_T |
NuMetalFan2022
07.02.13 | I'm thinking of joining this, but judging by the reception of my other reviews, I think people would rather that I wouldn't. |
NuMetalFan2022
07.02.13 | Never mind, I just read that it's closed. |
Atari
07.02.13 | @Cygnatti, you realize if you submit an album you have to review one too right? lol
@NuMetalFan, if cyg joins and agrees to review an album you can join too but then it really is closed |
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | Yes, Atari. I realize that. Gosh.
Okay my album shall be: EMEFE - Good Future |
Atari
07.02.13 | Alright I'll add you and NuMetalFan but that's it lol. I don't think I've ever read a review from you :P |
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | I wrote 4 reviews last year and submitted them to ap.net. |
NuMetalFan2022
07.02.13 | Okay, I guess I'll list my album: Soulfly - 3 |
Atari
07.02.13 | @cyg, alternative press or absolute punk? why wouldn't you just submit them here too? lol
|
Cygnatti
07.02.13 | Absolute punk. And let everyone see my terrible reviews? hah. Though I should start reviewing on alternative press so I can write awful reviews where no one will complain! |
Mister Twister
07.02.13 | Holy shit, someone wrote a track-by-track review for 3 as a sound-off. I suppose technically it's a valid submission c: |
NuMetalFan2022
07.02.13 | Okay, I'll try to find another album. |
Atari
07.02.13 | nah you don't have to man that isn't a proper review just a soundoff your album is fine ;) |
Atari
07.02.13 | WHO LIKES JAZZ? we now have 2 jazz albums on here. Prolly won't have time to do the assignments until tonight now so thanks for being patient. |
InfamousGrouse
07.02.13 | are you assigning records based on piecharts or something? |
Atari
07.02.13 | not necessarily. It's gonna be random for the most part but a couple users requested they review metal because they aren't into other genres and Jazz may be difficult for someone to review if they're not familiar with it. |
Mister Twister
07.02.13 | I wasn't trying to dissuade you from picking that album, I was just saying that it's quite remarkable that someone went through the trouble of writing a full review in the form of a shout-out. I've seen actual reviews that are shorter. |
laughingman22
07.02.13 | I would be the least qualified person to write a review for the green day or timberlake album |
Atari
07.02.13 | ok i'll keep that in mind lol |
Atari
07.03.13 | Here are the assignments. If you're completely unhappy with your album, switching with another user is ok but please don't take advantage of switching only do it if you got a genre you don't like. Other than that, this should be fun get creative with it! There's no deadline for when the review needs to be submitted but please don't take a year. ;)

Mister Twister
07.03.13 | FUCK YES I GOT A STAFF REVIEWER FOR TRINITY OVERTURE :D :D :D |
Cygnatti
07.03.13 | "Cygnatti - Justin Timberlake (Justified)"
oh shit, shit's 'bout to get real mofos!!! |
Atari
07.03.13 | lol :D looking forward to reading all these reviews. Some of these albums look pretty interesting |
Insurrection
07.03.13 | dam the pressures on i got the creators album lol ill try to do it justice for you atari :] |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I really need to get into a post-rock mood, I guess. Meh, Majestic is finally getting some attention in the form of a staff review. I'll do whatever I need to on my end. |
Cygnatti
07.03.13 | chorts got an alt/prog metal band, he got dis! |
Vakarian12
07.03.13 | "Vakarian12 - Fit For an Autopsy (The Process of Human Extermination)"
sweet |
Atari
07.03.13 | @raisehell, If you really dislike post-rock you can see if somebody will switch you I just don't want people to go crazy with the switching kind of defeats the purpose but some switching is probably inevitable. |
facupm
07.03.13 | "facupm - Havok (Burn)"
omg gonna thrash never checked them, heard they were one of the best "thrash revival" bands but Vektor were better so
gonna thrash :D |
facupm
07.03.13 | god bless thrashmania btw |
Atari
07.03.13 | @Ins, ;) There should be a full album stream for that one on youtube. It takes a few listens to digest but I hope you like it. Not as good as Sacrifice or their Self titled but some great prog nonetheless it's a pretty chill album.
@facupm, haha they're definitely better than KILL makes them out to be but i haven't heard that album yet. Enjoy : ) |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I'm fine with post-rock, it's just not something I can listen to at the drop of a hat, you know? Gotta be in the right mood for it. I'm still gonna be able to do it. |
Insurrection
07.03.13 | already downloaded all three haha im jamming sacrifice right now. cant believe i havent heard of this band til now |
Atari
07.03.13 | Me neither lol i talk about sacrifice all the time :P but dude don't expect that album to be as good as sacrifice it's still great though |
NuMetalFan2022
07.03.13 | Okay, The Computers. Sounds pretty interesting. Does anybody know where I can listen to the entire album? Because I can only find a few of the songs. |
Judio!
07.03.13 | Green day? Hahaha oh my god this is going to be interesting! |
Trebor.
07.03.13 | Somebody find my album for me |
Atari
07.03.13 | @NuMetalFan, it's on spotify man which is free to download on your computer
@trebor, also on spotify lol.
In conclusion, spotify rules and has lots of music |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Spotify isn't in Canada. Fortunately for me Kokomo is on Rdio, but still. Rdio is a good second choice in case you don't get Spotify in your country, much like myself. I just checked and the entirety of This Is The Computers is also on Rdio. |
NuMetalFan2022
07.03.13 | Thanks. I'm Canadian too, so I wouldn't get Spotify either. |
Ecnalzen
07.03.13 | The Computers are amazing, and that sucks they don't have Spotify in Canadia. |
Judio!
07.03.13 | Agreed with Atari. I would be lost without Spotify. |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Yeah, the Excruciating Thoughts review tipped me off to that. |
NuMetalFan2022
07.03.13 | Oh, you read that? I hope my Computers review will be much better than that. |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Just some tips: don't rush yourself to write it, and make sure you cover the pros and cons effectively. It's helpful if the reader can understand what to expect from the album after reading the review. Doesn't need to be so that they hear it in their head before their ears, but just a basic thought of how it might feel. |
Ecnalzen
07.03.13 | I have high hopes for that review, Mr (or Mrs) Metal Fan. Please do them some justice, as they are an excellent band. |
Cygnatti
07.03.13 | I just want a review for my album so I can spam it erryday!! |
Insurrection
07.03.13 | make JT proud man |
Ecnalzen
07.03.13 | I am extra looking forward to that review, Cyg. |
laughingman22
07.03.13 | What is this I'm listening to? |
Mad.
07.03.13 | "Mad. - Europe (Wings of Tomorrow)"
My reaction: Oh bollocks.
80s hard rock... Half-hearted wooooo |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | "InfamousGrouse -AIHVHIA (Turritopsis Nutricula)"
sweet i can't even pronounce it 5/5 |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | ARE YOU SHITTING ME ITS TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG?!!? |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | omfg |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | hmm i have never heard of that band. but spiritcrusher2 has a good taste so itll prob be good.
on another note, i finally have a band for every letter of the ABC : D |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | Mad, you better give it a 3 or above!! but looking through your ratings im pretty sure you wont dig haha |
Mad.
07.03.13 | Yeah, I have no idea about cheesy 80s hair metal so 3 is probably the max it'll get... unless you wanna give me something else? :3 |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | its actually before they turned glam, sounds very much like accept if you know them. listen to the first track Stormwind on youtube, thats the best track. if you dont like it i have something else i want reviewed |
ButteryBiscuitBass
07.03.13 | I'm happy with mine. |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | oh man i feel so bad stealing from a band on bandcamp |
Mad.
07.03.13 | Yeah I've already jammed the whole album, couldn't get into it. Sorry man I just don't really 'understand' that kinda music :( |
Vakarian12
07.03.13 | just heard a song from the album I'm reviewing.
chug chug chug ROAR ROAR ROAR chug chug BREAKDOWN ROAR |

ViperAces

Mad.
07.03.13 | My taste is too pussy for metal, basically |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | dude youre making me work hard!
maybe if you rated more than 100 albums it would be easier.. do you have last.fm or rym something like that? |
Mad.

ViperAces

07.03.13 | Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness
|
Cygnatti
07.03.13 | It's too late for that bro. |
Atari
07.03.13 | sorry man too late same to you skeletor maybe next time ;) this is weepingbanana's game though so he'll prolly make it next time around
on another note i still get the pleasure of shoutboxing about 30 more people lol |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | p sure deathconsciousness would have a review anyway |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | 4 actually |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | i'd rather do a fifth than write on a 2 and a half hour symphonic metal record grumblegrumblegrumble |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | lolol mine is like 40 mins |
Atari
07.03.13 | "4 actually"
say what?
@Infamousgrouse, I now have the aborym record cause i switched with ecnalzen but if you'd rather review that I can switch you I'm honestly cool with anything. |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | so close to slashing my wrists |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | rather review what Atari? |
Atari
07.03.13 | aborym - dirty. i can switch if you want |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | lol do you really wanna cover an 152 minute album? i've heard 20 so far (on two sittings) and it ain't sounding great - though what the hell, i'm not learned in such genres |
Atari
07.03.13 | ha it only has 1 rating? I don't care man sure :) |
InfamousGrouse
07.03.13 | the masochist in me kinda wants to give it a real bashing but it means sitting through it multiple times... |
ChuckyTruant
07.03.13 | Of Glaciers - Heart Museam |

07.03.13 | @infamous, maybe it's terrible and user rapedbyelephants is trying to be a comedian.
@ChuckyTruant, too late buddy sorry : ( |
ChuckyTruant
07.03.13 | Fukkkkkk |
Atari
07.03.13 | lol it's been featured for like 3 days where were you :P |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I'm really excited to read Omaha's review of Trinity Overture. Love that album, happy to see it getting a review, let alone a staff review. Should be able to get some people to check it out :) |
Mad.
07.03.13 | Yo raise you got my shoutbox? |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I suppose we can try it. I don't have much of a problem with either one, if you want to try post-rock you can go ahead. |
NuMetalFan2022
07.03.13 | Okay, I posted my review. I would appreciate any feedback! |
Mad.
07.03.13 | Thanks raise, have fun with Europe! |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | raise hell youre gonna love that album |
laughingman22
07.03.13 | How soon do you want all these albums reviewed?
Having A little trouble with mine just because I have never listened to grind before |
Atari
07.03.13 | no there's no deadline i'd rather have them not rushed take your time as long as it gets done eventually |
Atari
07.03.13 | hey! the artwork for 2 is fixed : ) |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Huzzah! :D
I had submitted the proper one a few months ago, probably fixed it since Omaha is staff. |
DinosaurJones
07.03.13 | I'm at work, but I have the day off tomorrow, so I'll give mine a few listens and get the review started. |
DinosaurJones
07.03.13 | Nice, I've wanted to do a review of it for awhile, but never got around to it. So I shoved it off on someone else, I guess, haha. The title track of the album is sublime, IMO. I hope you feel the same.
EDIT: Also, see if you can get the damn album art to work properly. I've tried uploading it like 6 times. |
Pestiferous
07.03.13 | dont worry laugh it gets easier after the first time |
Mad.
07.03.13 | @Atari and raise
Actually it was ME, just got bored of seeing a blank artwork |
laughingman22
07.03.13 | @pestiferous
I listened to quite a few grind albums yesterday to try and write this review
this shit is crazy |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Trinity Overture doesn't get a staff review any more :(
Couldn't even have this one victory. |
Atari
07.03.13 | lol pestiferous will do fine man ;) |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I know, I just would have liked the exposure that the staff label would bring. I've been trying to spread the band around for a while, it would have been an excellent opportunity for people to look into them. Even if people don't like them, I just kind of wanted to see how my thoughts stacked up against the rest of Sputnik.
Also, it was power metal, not prog. Time Requiem is the prog one. |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | lol but you were so excited |
Atari
07.03.13 | I know i felt bad but omaha said he doesn't think he could do it justice :3 |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | Yep. They're my favorite band, and nobody has bothered to check them out. Just kind of brings me down, I figured a review from a staff member would have more power than my word. I'm not trying to take away from Pestiferious, he/she is an excellent reviewer. Just dat staff label :P |
Atari
07.03.13 | i get what you mean, but there are a lot of capable writers outside of the staff/contrib circle. Pestiferous will just have to step his game up but from what I remember his reviews are pretty good |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | im just happy there will be a thread to jam europe in. and i know youll love that album raisehell |
Atari
07.03.13 | one more thing: this isn't a writing competition. The last thing I want is for people to be worried about who's gonna write the best review the point of the game is to just have fun with it and maybe step outside of your comfort zone |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | His reviews are quite good, but I mean reviews I wrote two months ago have yet to reach a thousand views, while staff reviews that were posted around two weeks ago have over seven thousand. That's what I mean by exposure. I'm not trying to come off as whiny, I'm still happy that it's being reviewed at all. I'll see how I can work out the Europe review, I've only done metal reviews thus far.
Then again, my reviews are awful :( |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | europe is heavy metal actually so that shouldnt be a problem |
Atari
07.03.13 | your reviews are far from awful. Even the best writers have areas to improve that's part of being a writer! and you're fine man wasn't thinking you were being whiny I just don't want people to feel pressured they have to write some out of this world review I mean as long as people put forth their best efforts that's what counts. Basically it's a fun way for people to improve their writing skills : ) |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | I don't get why 50 people liked my Iron Mask review on Facebook. Makes no sense at all, I hardly ever see any reviews with likes, and reviews for more popular albums I've done have none either. Strange. |
ViperAces
07.03.13 | lol i liked your review now too |
Atari
07.03.13 | it could be because the band saw it and shared it on facebook. |
Mister Twister
07.03.13 | If you look up Iron Mask on Facebook, they just have that default Wikipedia page and nothing more. Band doesn't have an official page. |
Atari
07.03.13 | well then i have no clue lol. |
Rowan5215
07.04.13 | Is this still open for entries? |
Atari
07.04.13 | no it's closed sorry man : ( but i can just give you a random album to review if you want haha |
Mister Twister
07.04.13 | Nope. Assignments were given out the other day, sorry. |
Cygnatti
07.04.13 | rowan digs post hardcore so I can give him another album to review! ^_^ |
Mister Twister
07.04.13 | Or if he wants he could just put the amount of submissions in a random number generator, and pick an album from the list and add a second review to go alongside the one that is written for the game.
What's that? You got number 2? Looks like you'll be writing a review for Trinity Overture! :D /endsarcasm |
Trebor.
07.04.13 | ughh I refuse to download spotify again |
Mister Twister
07.04.13 | Could be worse, you could be Canadian like myself. Be grateful for what you have.
For less than the cost of a cup of coffee an hour, you could donate to fund getting Spotify released in Canada, to be ignored and complained about by all of the northern folk. |
Mad.
07.04.13 | @Trebor
Man up and find the effort to type "Spotify" into google and then click 'download' |
YakNips
07.04.13 | Aw Atari didn't want to review my album :( |
Atari
07.04.13 | @yaknips, haha I like mogwai I just switched with ecnalzen because he doesn't care for black metal ;) |
Trebor.
07.04.13 | My album is not even on spotify wtf
I downloaded that piece of shit again for no reason |
Ecnalzen
07.04.13 | Hey, yeah... Me and black metal don't get along very well. |
YakNips
07.04.13 | Well you like Cloudkicker, so you're a friend of mine |
Ecnalzen
07.04.13 | Mmm... Cloudkicker. Such aural deliciousness. |
Atari
07.04.13 | @Trebor, lol why do u hate spotify so much? Hmm that's weird I know I checked and the entire album was there |
pissbore
07.04.13 | Sad to see the lack of riffs of truth 6 albums on here |
Atari
07.04.13 | Dude that's not how the game works man if u actually wanted to review an album I could have added one |
Mister Twister
07.05.13 | I hope Pestiferious is one of those people who states the Highlight tracks on an album, so I can see if he agrees that The Breath of Horus is probably one of the best songs ever. |
chtrenne
07.05.13 | Is this still open? I'll put forward Benoit Pioulard- Hymnal just to keep it 2013 |
Cygnatti
07.05.13 | atari, you should edit this list so that we know which album got their review and who it was reviewed by. |
Atari
07.05.13 | i already put all the assignments in like over 50 comments ago :3 or do you mean post a link to what albums have been reviewed so far? pretty sure only 2 of them have been reviewed |
Ecnalzen
07.05.13 | I think he means attach the users name to the album they are reviewing in the actual list. But that sounds like too much work to me. |
Atari
07.05.13 | this is the same as what weepingbanana did. All the albums submitted are above and all you have to do is look about half way into the list to see who's reviewing what ;) I'll also be coming after people I don't hear from to make sure they're still able to review their album |
ViperAces
07.05.13 | nope, he meant to post the review link in list for every album |
Cygnatti
07.05.13 | if they've gotten the review, that is. and like you said, only two have, but still. |
Atari
07.05.13 | that's cool i'll post the links later tonight of whatever's been reviewed so far |
Atari
07.05.13 | speaking of which when can we expect your Justin timberlake review cyg? :D |
Cygnatti
07.05.13 | months from now probs |
Atari
07.05.13 | lmao wouldn't surprise me. I really doubt i'll have mine posted sooner than a month though so damn busy |

Mister Twister
07.06.13 | That sounds exactly like Havok to me. Their new album sucks wangs. |
Atari
07.06.13 | lol sorry man. there's no rule that says it has to be a positive review though ;) |

07.07.13 | most people on this list just disappeared after submitting their album, shame |
Mad.
07.07.13 | "most people on this list just disappeared after submitting their album, shame"
I dunno if Atari actually shoutboxed people, that would explain why |
facupm
07.07.13 | finished with Havok - Burn |
Mister Twister
07.07.13 | Havok is such an incredibly "meh" band. |
Mister Twister
07.07.13 | Do you agree enough to bump your rating of Abstract Symphony? c: |
Atari
07.07.13 | "most people on this list just disappeared after submitting their album, shame"
"I dunno if Atari actually shoutboxed people, that would explain why"
Not everybody is gonna submit their review within a few days lol. I shoutboxed people but i may have missed a few i'll double check right now ;) |
Lambda
07.09.13 | Will do mine sometime this week! |
Mister Twister
07.09.13 | Just bumping to remind people of their albums. I still wish we got Spotify here. EDIT: What the fuck, wouldn't it just happen someone bumps this for the first time in two days right as I go to do the same. |
Atari
07.09.13 | lol if anybody doesn't know what album they're supposed to review let me know. I tried to shoutbox all the people who haven't seen their albums |
Mister Twister
07.09.13 | Fuck off Droop. |
facupm
07.09.13 | how dou you bump a list? no kidding i just dunno |
ViperAces
07.09.13 | you comment |

07.18.13 | This maladie album is not something i'm used to, but i'm kinda diggin it and i'm gonna listen to it a few times before i review it |
Mister Twister

THERE I RECOGNIZED YOUR AVATAR PESTIFEROUS IS THAT ENOUGH CONVINCING |

07.29.13 | Shoutbox dat nigga |
Mister Twister
07.29.13 | Did that already, gonna seem like a pest if I flood it with "WHEN'S MAJESTIC" messages. |

08.04.13 | Pestiferous hasn't even listened to it yet D: D: D: D: |
Mister Twister
08.11.13 | I found a random album game from over two years ago, and it still hasn't received every review yet. /despair |
Mad.
08.11.13 | That makes me think badly of people who don't do their reviews, then I realised that I still haven't done mine... |
Mister Twister
08.11.13 | Glad you enjoyed them. Really looking forward to seeing that review go up, eventually. You should go drop a rating on them, would be awesome. |
Topaz
09.17.13 | i wouldn't get too excited for that rev raisehell, im fairly certain pest was permabanned |
Atari
09.17.13 | @raisehell, I can review that majestic album if u want |

09.17.13 | i'd do it but i hate that kind of music |

09.17.13 | yeah same here lol |
Judio!
09.17.13 | I tried to review the Green Day album I was assigned too, but since I hate anything that even remotely sounds like Green Day, my review was turning out really biased so I just stopped. Maybe I'll do a soundoff of the album sometime. |
Mister Twister
09.17.13 | I would love that Atari, if you wouldn't mind. Been trying to push this band for so long, would really mean a lot to me. Thanks in advance! |

I will review something |
Atari
09.17.13 | @raisehell, no problem man. I want to start writing more consistently again and reviewing random albums is fun. gotta hear the album first though haha ;) |
Mister Twister
09.17.13 | Of course, take your time. If you liked bands like Symphony X or Angra, you should enjoy these guys. I would also recommend their other project, Time Requiem, though only their first album. The group changed their name when they wanted to go prog, but their first album was sort of a mid-way point and takes the best of both worlds. A weird example of a transition album being stronger than the ones that follow in the intended style. |
Mister Twister
11.20.13 | imagine if i had a real bump |
Mad.
11.20.13 | Lol this
Never did mine.... was thinking of hosting a new one myself but I have to do that review first |
