06.18.10 | I never heard anyone until about a month ago to say it was "hilariously bad", now everyone seems to be saying it |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | I used to love it but then I payed attention to the painfully shite lyrics. |
Obfuscation24
06.18.10 | I wouldn't say it's hilariously bad, but it's not a masterpiece by any means like people here make it out to be |
Jonathan10
06.18.10 | I'm not saying it's a masterpiece or anything but it's still really good, what makes people think they can speak their minds freely? |
porch
06.18.10 | just because a lot of people on this site like it doesn't mean you have to
|
Inveigh
06.18.10 | yea I thought it was cool for about 5-10 minutes then I started paying attention |
Electric City
06.18.10 | i remember laughing at circle takes the square
then i turned 15 |
acorncheese
06.18.10 | That's honestly one of the only albums that's ever made me laugh at how appallingly BAD it is. |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Yeah I just cant seem to make up my mind on this one, I'm completely TORN. I'm ravaged. |
acorncheese
06.18.10 | Wow. My wording in that comment is also appalling. |
BigHans
06.18.10 | I've heard cats fuck with more harmony than is on this record. |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | Drew looks like he deserves to be bullied aswell |
WatchItExplode
06.18.10 | set it down for six months then try again |
Helvete
06.18.10 | needs moar jesse lacey |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Drew is still #1 on my list of artists I want to fight. |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | The whole album is like a turd curling out of a weakling's sore ass |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | i think if this had been around when I turned 15 i might have pretended to like it. as such, it's faggy hipster muzak ;-) |
Electric City
06.18.10 | lol sudden backlash to everything on the decade top ten |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | hey dude, just man up and listen to some METUHL |
Skimaskcheck
06.18.10 | why is it that people that don't like it INSIST on telling the whole world how 'hilariously bad' it is?
why don't you just rate it however you please and get over it? |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Probably because people pretend to like this to be cool. |
Skimaskcheck
06.18.10 | probably 'cause they actually like it idk |
Bitchfork
06.18.10 | The praise for it is fucking retarded. It's so boring and untalented it's unbelievable. |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | Yeah, why would people talk about music on a muisc website. Lets just rate things and be done with it. |
crazyblinddude
06.18.10 | the album grows on you. then it starts to grow off. its still decent though. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | it's because it's cool to hate this Sputnik album right now... it happens in cycles, where users gang up on one highly acclaimed 'Sputnik' album and collectively challenge its worth (sometimes well-founded, others not so much)... I think it was MPP like a month ago (still suffering) and ATRU is the latest installment of Sputnik Sheep Syndrome, SSS |
Jonathan10
06.18.10 | To say the band is untalented is just ridiculous |
luci
06.18.10 | I love the bandwagon hopping on this site. Three months ago it was 'everyone hate MPP', then it became 'everyone hate Jane Doe', now it seems like 'everyone hate As The Roots Undo'.
If you can't get into ATRU then just move on. It doesn't mean that the album is bad (fyi: it is amazing). It just means that it isn't to your taste. Maybe you just aren't prepared for the genre and should ease into it with less abrasive music. |
Electric City
06.18.10 | seaanemone got it pretty right |
BigHans
06.18.10 | I don't know Sea, I've been ripped on plenty on this site for making my feelings known about this inspid pile of shit. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | BigHans, of course there's detractors... but usually the majority praise this and the others are silent... now the majority of talk about htis album is overwhelmingly negative |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Lol Chambered, I've heard that about AC/DC plenty of times, doesn't phase me. |
acorncheese
06.18.10 | No, I'm pretty sure I'd still think this album sucks dick even if there weren't many others who shared that opinion. Wouldn't care if I was the only one on the site who thought it was completely atrocious. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | well aren't you edgy |
Electric City
06.18.10 | yeah man SPEAK YOUR MIND |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Ok Sea, I'll play along. I can see part of your theory having merit, and here is why. I would bet there are alot of people on here that thought this was an absolute dog shit album, but didn't want to speak up in fear of getting flamed. Now MJ has taken the brunt and made it "safe" for some, I will grant you that. I was never concerned about being flamed, I routinely talk about how much I love hair metal so obviously I'm not scared of that, but I think this has to do with more less antagonistic people feeling safe to say their true feelings about this more so than its "suddenly cool" to hate it. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | Hans: no argument there, that's what I was trying to get at (I mean, it's only PART of the reason, but still) but you took it a little further. |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Also, on a fun side note, I don't get into too many arguments, but so far every argument I have gotten into on this site, and every time someone tells me I have bad taste, and they have CTTS 5'd. Every time. |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | "why don't you just rate it however you please and get over it?"
because you can't rate this album below a 2 |
Jonathan10
06.18.10 | There's no such thing as a yeti you silly goose |
BigHans
06.18.10 | Sounds like a Hyena getting ass raped by a crazed, disease ridden Rhino. |
Electric City
06.18.10 | oh man i can't wait till i show you guys the lulzy hyperbole i just thought of about how as the roots undo sounds you are gonna laugh so hard bros |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | ^LOL
it sounds like Dustin Diamond's porno |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | god damnit Electric City... |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | also, I don't know if anyone remembers MJ's first list on this site (before his reviews) but it expressed outrage at not being able to rate this and Jane Doe below a 2. I don't think this would get all the hyperbolic hate it receives if people could take out their frustrations with a numeric rating :-)
I mean, MJ might not have ever written that door-opening review if he'd been able to rate this a 1 and move on. |
Electric City
06.18.10 | lol door opening review |
BigHans
06.18.10 | The lolz come from hipsters praising this like the second coming of Christ. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | sounds like every single insult on the site these days is either having to do with "hipsters," "staff," "Animal Collective," or "ATRU." seriously guys, get more creative. |
BigHans
06.18.10 | I have no problem with staff, I have a problem with this album. |
Gyromania
06.18.10 | Eric: You just spoke my mind. I don't see how a staff consensus bears any relevance to why an album's good or bad. I think with all the hype surrounding these album's, a lot of users tend to try to find reasons to hate it. I myself have done it before in the past. |
SeaAnemone
06.18.10 | hopefully they'll grow out of it and be super dooper mature like me and you, Gyro ; ) |
Jonathan10
06.18.10 | Why the fuck do them hipster staff members have to like Animal Collective and As The Roots Undo |
BigHans
06.18.10 | There are many albums on the staff list I don't like, but there are pieces in most of them where I can see why people would like it. This is a different story. |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | eh, consensus opinion has nothing to do with how much I like an album. Staff loves this, I don't. Staff loves Jane Doe and so do I. I'm really pretty indifferent on Animal Collective, though I don't ever listen to them. I actually liked most of the staff list. Still, wouldn't have bitched if I didn't (it's not like any of my top 5 was on it... save for White Pony) |
luci
06.18.10 | you guys just don't understand the pure emotion and pain and anger in this album so you don't get why its perfect |
Serpento
06.18.10 | every time i come back to this site i find discussions like this and think hmm i forgot sputnik is so far up its own ass it cant hear the word subjective |
BigHans
06.18.10 | What is Drew angry about? One of his organic beet gardens not coming in fast enough? Its false anger, the guy is a huge fucking hippie. |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | oh man maybe if my parents grounded me more when I was a teenager and I had tilted all the posters in my bedroom a little bit I'd understand... |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | My opinion has been changed by MJ's review, because it drew my attention to the lyrics, which beforehand I'd only glanced over. My feelings have also changed because I'm moving away from that syle of punk/hardcore - it's just not my thing these days. Can't see why every criticism these guys get is lumped into the 'bandwagon' thing. If people hate it, they hate it. |
luci
06.18.10 | you don't know the hardships he's been through! |
bloc
06.18.10 | Why are you crying? That album is nonsense. |
Inveigh
06.18.10 | oh his momma probalby wouldn't let him listen to As the Roots Undo when he was a teeny weeny huh? |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.18.10 | What's Drew been through? Please tell me it was rape. |
BigHans
06.18.10 | I will grant Drew this, he is locked into hipster culture. He knew that if he made an album that was sorely under-produced, had "emotional" angst (real or not), and sounded like random noise, hipsters would try to find credibility in it on purpose in an effort to appear "cutting edge," "anti-mainstream," and define their own sense of elitism. |
PlayCrackSky
06.18.10 | Haha I just checked this now. 87 comments. nd I'm not doing this because I want to be cool, I think that the 100 list opened up a lot of people's eyes to how unbelievably high sputnik holds this terrible album, including me. And I'm just dumbfounded because I find every 4.4 album on here listenable. Except this. |
zarquan99
06.18.10 | "I never heard anyone until about a month ago to say it was "hilariously bad", now everyone seems to be saying it"
exactly my thoughts Jonathan.
I remember someone made a list a couple a months ago saying they would start a CTTS and Converge revolution just like the Btbam rev. fuck you, whoever made that list.
As the Roots Undo owns and if you don't like it PlayCrackSky then fine. Like whatcha like. |
Bitchfork
06.19.10 | And I'm just dumbfounded because I find every 4.4 album on here listenable. Except this.
4.3 now.
"I never heard anyone until about a month ago to say it was "hilariously bad", now everyone seems to be saying it"
Um I've heard plenty of people flame this album since like oct. Where have you been?

ConsiderPhlebas
06.19.10 | Post it as a review, it's genius |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.19.10 | Drew: I know you're a dried up husk Kathy but when I look at you my penis becomes slightly less flacid.
:Kathy raises organic condom:
Kathy: suit up. |
Ire
06.19.10 | you might get it in a couple of months
you might not idk. I got it. |
qwe3
06.19.10 | well you do like brand new so |
BigHans
06.19.10 | Props to Bitchfork for putting on a fucking clinic of Drew Spaz bashing here. Cheers my friend. |
Jonathan10
06.19.10 | You put so much effort into that Bitchfork. |
fr33convict
06.19.10 | I'm just dumbfounded that this album has anything above a 3. I thought the first track was decent but it seemed rehashed all the way through. |
Yazz_Flute
06.19.10 | what SeaAnemone said |
fr33convict
06.19.10 | i really think that more people need to rate this honestly so we can get a real score. |
cirq
06.19.10 | City of Caterpillar >> Circle Takes the Square |
fr33convict
06.19.10 | I started speaking out against when it stopped being an incredibly overrated album and became the third best of the decade. |
Yazz_Flute
06.19.10 | haha in retrospect |
Thor
06.20.10 | idk album is still pretty great to me |
tombits
06.20.10 | I never liked that album, so I called myself a fag and moved right along. Seriously, I'm so fed up with the pathetic complaints that have been coming from the newer users on this website. |
ShadowRemains
06.20.10 | vocals ruin it for me... |
NeutralThunder12
06.20.10 | a. its major of lack of melody (besides the album's main melodic theme) is a problem for some. b. it's very disjointed and chaotic, and not accessible. Its very hard to enjoy, took me a while |
Bitchfork
06.20.10 | Ugh; it's not hard to get into by any means. It's not original by any means. It's just not good. Instead of complaining that we don't get it, perhaps take into account that's what we're thinking as well. |
Klekticist
06.20.10 | maybe you just dont like emo |
JWT155
06.20.10 | *I cannot get into vagina*
Fixed. |
tombits
06.20.10 | Maybe you should just accept the fact that it's a dividing album. A huge number of users enjoy it, so stop bitching. |
Mars Blackmon
06.25.10 | then stop listening fag |
cjgone
06.25.10 | I don't like it either. |
Emim
06.25.10 | "Why are you crying? That album is nonsense."
bloc, bringer of truth. |
qwe3
06.25.10 | album rules so hard |
liledman
06.25.10 | too much noise man, cant hear da riffz, and all the vocals are like screamed, i mean what the hell, is this screamo or something? sounds like saetia with a concept wtf |
vanderb0b
06.25.10 | Wow, so much hate for that album now. A few days ago, only one or two people said bad things about it, now just about everyone goes around saying that it's pretentious hipster nonsense. |
liledman
06.25.10 | its trendy to hate trends man. nothing more hip than hating on hipsters. |
bloc
06.25.10 | I don't think they're being trendy now, I think a lot of people were just shy to say their true feelings about CTTS because they thought they'd get murdered.
Now that we have multiple reviews showing dislike for CTTS, it's a bit safer to say what you truly feel because you have reviews to back you up. |
Prolapse
06.25.10 | there's still only 14 1 votes. The only people commenting on the thread are the people that hate it, which there aren't really that many of |
ConsiderPhlebas
06.25.10 | Still don't get why people are making out there is a sudden turn against this album. As far as I can gather most of the guys who hate it now have done for ages. Haven't seen anyone but me who's changed their opinion recently. |
Prolapse
06.25.10 | I listened to it a few days ago and i couldn't help but focus on the negatives, so i dropped it to a 3.5. I will probably never listen to it for a long, long time now |
Romulus
06.25.10 | So I like the album but not that much but at least I voiced my opinion before MJ came along and made a review about it you douches |
