 | mvdu Opps accidentally removed your reply. Yes check Julia Michaels out if you are open to pop music
|
 | klap yes! i like it a lot more than whiteout conditions actually. about on par w brill bruisers although Bejar is missed
|
 | xxm You are welcome.
|
| mvdu Thanks xxm! It was fun to revisit those albums.
|
| xxm Nice work on the Debbie Gibson shoutouts. You seem to have nice taste in mainstream pop music.
|
| mvdu They are one of those bands that is "cool" to like but really not enjoyable in my opinion
|
| mvdu Modest Mouse not my kind of thing for sure
|

| klap mvdu! long time no see. i really want to review it but i have to review the new trail of dead first and i'm also writing a large academic article (80 pages) so i'm slammed right now. if i do get a chance to review it which i want to bc it's way under the radar it'll be in november probs

 | breakingthefragile Thanks for the compliment man. A contributing reviewer Irving gave me a neg I assume. He didn't think I talked about the album as much as I talked about Fiona herself, pointing out that seven of the eight paragraphs begin with "Fiona". I see what he's getting at so it was a deserved neg, but I'm glad you think my review is well written even though we disagree about the album rating wise.
|
 | GamemakerPW I hope so because I think that's something she can really excel at, something to set her apart from everyone else. She rocks the slow songs too, but Bang Bang Bang was the killer tune on the EP!here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pfKno8RM34
|
| GamemakerPW Oh yeah the Suburbs is what made me fall in love with them. But now I like Funeral and Neon Bible even more. As for Christina Perri, she has loads of talent I just don't think she showed it all in her first album. Have you heard the live studio version of "Bang Bang Bang" on her EP? I loved that song and I thought they (somewhat) butchered it on Lovestrong. I wanted a few faster songs on the album!!!
|
| GamemakerPW 1. I like your take on Christina Perri, still a good album but have to say I was a little disappointed by it. I probably had too high of hopes for it, but still probably a 3.5 2. How can you have that long and awesome of a favorite bands and artists and not have Arcade Fire listed? Best band of the last 10 years
|
| mvdu Hi BSX - nope, haven't heard the demos. As for Bjork, she's an acquired taste I just haven't acquired.
|
 | BSX YAY a Madonna fan!!! Have you heard the leaked American Life demos? Also why don't you like Bjork's Volta?
|
 | heyadam Hey bromanjenkins, looks like you take a lot of s*** too for simply enjoying hey monday lol. I got 3 ghost negs for that last review with no explanation (save from sea). I just like them a lot cause they are fun, "Hangover" has such an awesome chorus
|
| mvdu I don't think you gave any good reasons for you thinking those things. Pretty simple.
|
 | SeaAnemone overproduction, trite musicianship and song structure, ATROCIOUS lyrics, underwhelming vocals, horribly uninventive melodies... I could go on. These are things I ALL mentioned in my review to justify the rating. I'm not being hostile here, I just have no idea where you get off trying to say I didn't provide adequate reasoning?
|
| mvdu thatoneguy726: yep - exactly!
|
 | thatoneguy726 ha, saw your 3oh!3 soundoff. dude ke$ha's cd is totally my guilty pleasure so far this summer. but streets of gold isn't anything like that? it's legitimately bad in every way?
|
| heyadam thanks for pos-ing the Hey Monday review. My other reviews were way better, and this one was rushed, but it still gets my point across.
|
| klap yeah had it in my itunes forever and finally got around listening to it on a cross-country flight. just my kind of thing good call
|
 | WvaSkittle ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
| mvdu It's inevitable IMO considering they are basically in the same genre.
|
 | ninjuice This is mad late, but why do you feel the need to compare Paramore and Flyleaf?
|
| mvdu Hi, Daveyboy - you can find it here:://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1
|
 | DaveyBoy Ahh, it was an alternate user-name. I still can't locate the Kris Allen leak. I'm hopeless.
