03.12.19 | The flagged reviews for Typhoon (USA-OR)- White Lighter and Arcarde Fire- The Suburbs rule |

03.12.19 | "Are you going to update it as you receive suggestions?"
Yes! Just started adding them |
Sowing

03.12.19 | Awesome. Surprised I hadn't seen this done before, but I'm sure it has at some point. |
Doctuses

it, uh, hasn't aged well in a lot of ways |
butt.
03.12.19 | ohhh shit i have read that before lol. "He hits the notez, but the notes themselves are gay" |
Brostep
03.12.19 | anyway https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/64444/Beach-Slang-Cheap-Thrills-On-A-Dead-End-Street/
as a review from a sput veteran, it's incredible. as a last review from one of the best writers we've had on this site, it's even better. of course its impact is dulled a little by the context by which it became downer's last review, in that its finality is less the result of the jaded beauty of the review and more internecine drama (shout out Mezzgate, like, 2016, I wanna say?) but still. haven't caught up with him in a sec but hope he's doing well in his post-Sput days at (checks Google), er, KnowYourMeme.com |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | It's no secret that I'm a fan of butcherboy's and this band and this review were some of the very first points where my liking began:
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/73626/The-Afghan-Whigs-In-Spades/ |
butt.
03.12.19 | butcherboy seems kind of absent lately? dude was pumping out reviews like no other for a while there |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | he's always pumping out with a speed of light and then lays low for a bit
it's a cycle |
butt.
03.12.19 | @brostep what's the Mezzgate drama all about? I wasn't quite as active around here when Electric City left |
Project
03.12.19 | TIL Downer's at knowyourmeme
Klap on Owl City is far and away my favorite review on this site: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/43959/Owl-City-All-Things-Bright-And-Beautiful/
also everyone talks about the first review Chan wrote for TDAG, does anyone have a copy? I've tried to Internet Archive it and I got nowhere |
0xME
03.12.19 | Iluvatar's Hail to the King review is amazing
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/58794/Avenged-Sevenfold-Hail-to-the-King/ |
butt.
03.12.19 | Chan wrote a review for TDAG before the one that he currently has up? |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | can I submit another?
cause this one's a legend by OFace:
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/46448/brokeNCYDE-Guilty-Pleasure/ |
BigHans
03.12.19 | lol I really wish I had submitted all of my Oface reviews under my own account. I made them bad on purpose, and at the time, I was concerned about my approval rating. They turned out to be some of my best. |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | so you are the very one OFace?
well, it's nice to put a faceless name to that faceless name |

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/37335/Selena-Gomez-Kiss-and-Tell/
all of these are fantastic, some of my favorite reviews ever not just on sput |
Brostep
03.12.19 | without rehashing too much private info, some staffers made fun of another staffer (or staffers, I forget) on a private group separate from Sput. staffer/s made fun of were not part of the group but caught wind anyway. feelings were hurt, discussions were had, a few folks were demoted from staff then re-promoted to emeritus after further conversation, a good number of people left the site for good as a result, etc etc. not fun |
Brostep
03.12.19 | also high key Brokencyde somehow inspires some of the best writing on the site https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/39301/brokeNCYDE-Im-Not-a-Fan-but-the-Kids-Like-It%21/ |
SitarHero
03.12.19 | Of fuck, that Beach Slang review. Ugh. Right in the feels...
But still, this is, and always has been, objectively the best review on the site:
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/59704/Protest-the-Hero-Volition/ |
butt.
03.12.19 | good lord that was hilarious |
Project
03.12.19 | yeah that Beach Slang review is still stupid good, and so is that Protest the Hero review for completely different reasons |
Voivod
03.12.19 | I remember having a great time reading this

BigHans
03.12.19 | so you are the very one OFace?
well, it's nice to put a faceless name to that faceless name
^ Lol yeah, I created the alt to write shitty reviews, but it turns out I like those the best. |

I would be disappointed you don't know BigHans but you also didn't know who Chan was so it's sadly on brand |
SteakByrnes
03.12.19 | https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/59704/Protest-the-Hero-Volition/
This is my favorite review ever |
butt.
03.12.19 | Lmao wait was he serious about not knowing who Chan was? I assumed that whole exchange was sarcasm. How?? |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | I don't know many things. |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | for a moment there I though that Brostep, BigHans and ButtBoy were the same user |
Papa Universe
03.12.19 | but I have read some of BigHans's reviews some time ago, so I know him. I didn't know OFace was his CompostCompote |
butt.
03.12.19 | Lololol to be fair, all of our names start with B and are roughly the same length |

mynameischan
03.13.19 | the original TDAG review was very standard. really long and probably a little overdone. i don't really remember much about it but i know people liked it. like the version on the site now, it had the most comments of any review (something like 3,300). obviously now the review has over 20,000 which is insane |
klap
03.13.19 | lol projectfreak thanks, forgot about that one |
Project
03.13.19 | I knew that thread was active but I didn't know it was THAT active
and cheers klap, obviously i did not forget haha. It inspired me to write a Nickelback review for another site in a very similar vein (though admittedly clumsier), unfortunately the site was deleted so now I have no proof |
Demon of the Fall
03.13.19 | I just pos'd that Eisley review making it 46/52 in total!
Thanks for the find, it was baffling yet bizarrely entertaining. |
NOTINTHEFACE
03.13.19 | This is a great compilation and I enjoyed reading some of these I had missed. Personally, I've always been a fan of chan's review of William Control's debut. |
onionbubs
03.13.19 | also shoutout rowan’s review of incubus’s 8 |
Rowan5215

My favorite positive review is Electric City's review of 'Viva La Vida':
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/25923/Coldplay-Viva-la-Vida-or-Death-and-All-His-Friends/
My favorite negative review is Tyler's review of 'Souljaboytellem.com':
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/13707/Soulja-Boy-Souljaboytellem.com/
And my favorite joke review is Iai's review of 'Iluvatar':

HypedMerchant
03.16.19 | Although yellowcards last album isn’t a 5, sowing’s review for that is also delightful. Basically Sowing is the best writer |
Voivod
03.16.19 | "All of Voivod's Voivod reviews"
My favorite from those texts, is the one for Phobos, because it was the hardest to write. |

EclipseInYourEyes
03.22.19 | "Pot’s ETID - Low Teens review. I wish he still had it. Funniest shit I’ve ever read here."
Damn I remember surfing on this site without an acc and seeing such an epic review about something from ETID with the term "beercore" mentioned a lot and even though I love this album, this review was the shit. Then I searched for it but never found it...is this that forgotten review? |
Trebor.
03.22.19 | I remember that |
EclipseInYourEyes
03.22.19 | "Trebor. will remember that." |
Emyay
03.23.19 | we need the blood mountain review by progmaster "A MASTODON GUITAR SOLO" |
Point1
03.24.19 | Rembrandt's review of Diamond Eyes.
"On Sextape, Moreno describes having sex with a female fan while her boyfriend waits outside for him to sign an autograph as the sound of the waves collide. It’s a beautiful image and really illustrates Chino’s newfound body confidence since losing weight."
Alternatively his review of TDAGARIM.
"My mom calls twice a week and we often talk about how much Brand New’s songwriting progressed, from the cookie-cutter music of Your Favorite Weapon through to the life affirming TDAGARIM. " |
