 | Static wtf is up with your past review formatting
|
 | wabbit I would bet money that love is imminent. All three of their releases (plus the solo album) have been pretty incredible. It's like frank turner meets the flaming lips meets Australia.
|
| wabbit have you fallen in love with the smith street band yet?
|
 | Crymsonblaze maybe pay attention to the characters next time rather than the hot girls vs the less hot girls. it'll blow your mind watching something on more than the most superficial of levels
|
 | MO Right on man, make sure the volume is high, I find that's the best way to get Meshuggah to really make an impact.
|
| MO Yea I can see that, it's more straightforward and simple in a sense, but to me it still hits hard in the right places, hopefully it grows on you man. I definitely agree with "they seem tired". I can see this as being their last album unfortunately.
|
| MO no way, you didn't enjoy Koloss? do tell
|
 | Maniac! Ohhh... I think I heard about that. Ill probably wait a year after release, check the reviews, then buy it on sale for 5 bucks again
|
| Maniac! there's a BS3? Holy s***tttttttttt
|
| Maniac! lol. I got Bioshock 2 for 5 bucks on steam. Well worth the money.
|
| Maniac! The dude regurgitates extreme right-wing talk shows and "news" organizations without even processing it.
|
| Maniac! Go ask him if evolution is a lie. Then come back to me with all of your hair and vocal chords.
|
 | BigHans Thanks dude. Yeah man hit me up on FB. Peace out.
|
 | Vesper Haha, sure. I was just composing a reply to your last post, but I'm afraid we're just taking over the thread with our veritable walls of text. Can you give me your e-mail? I'll just send my reply that way. :]
|
 | Funeralopolis I just finished watching that documentary on population was pretty cool.
|
 | Gyromania Good to know, dude. I think I was just in a particularly bad mood (for more reasons than I care to think of) that night and I grossly misinterpreted your tone. In regards to your list, I have to say, agreements all 'round (well, for the most part :P) -- I just couldn't help but think, "How self-righteous", but it's more or less what most of us are thinking anyway. On an unrelated note: it's good to see that you're digging Mineral =D EndSerenading is absolutely gorgeous.
|
| Maniac! Lol nah. Just one of the better results for a google image search for judo
|
 | scissorlocked man, I finally understood where your name comes from. Only heard about Wasteland, but never read it.
|
 | Tyrannic watching children of men now (i'm a clive owen fan, btw have you seen bent?), and i seriously can't stop smiling at the addition of the pig to london's skyline. animals ftw
|
| Gyromania I felt compelled to give you a shout to let you know that I'm sorry for sounding like an ass in your most recent list, but it (the list) admittedly felt a little self-righteous and condescending to me. Internet lacks tone though, and I'm sure I'm probably just reading too far into it.
|
| Tyrannic so i found zizek on a ten minute youtube animated short (like ten mins on the ethics of charity) Seriously interesting stuff man, definitely will check his published works. thanks a ton
|
| Tyrannic wow thanks, sounds great. i'll probably watch that today or something
|
| Tyrannic i'm a guy rather interested in philosophy. you seem like one who's read a lot; would you mind pointing me towards authors that i won't find in 100-200 levels? i want the good s*** haha
|
 | hesperus Nice T.S. Eliot reference, dude.
|
 | SeaAnemone Haha good for you! It's much more pleasant on the other side. I've been very busy studying abroad in Europe and decided it wasn't in my best interest to concern myself with sputnikstuff, combine that with the fact that too many law papers have seemingly sucked me dry of any reviewing knack or flair-- and yes, I don't really review anymore. Hope all is well with you though, thanks for the message!
|
| Maniac! Orly? Road tripping atm. I plan on toying with it when I get back.
|
 | Irving We're starting to see you on here again. This development makes me happy.
|
 | omnipanzer Haha, Why do you have Peter Dinklage as your avatar?
|
| Maniac! Still need a decent logo, but it is getting there :)
|
| Maniac! hehe. remember when it was just a little blue and white page?
|
| Maniac! Hey.... remember this? http://wiredreviewers.com/ - Think you might be interested in reviewing movies or music there?
|
 | fromtheinside I just want you to know you're my favorite please, please never leave
|
 | HSThomas Dude, can't help you with any new music but you ever heard Secede before?
|
| Irving Dude. Y u no on Sputnik?
|
| Irving Check out the comments section of Butler's Incubus review for more of Philalethes' (or whatever the f**k his name is) sage advice.
|
| Irving You. Long time no review. Neg.
|
| BigHans If you go on a spree, make sure to get "greatest hits" instead of specific albums I listed. Thats the best way to do country.
|
 | Blindsided **** yes your avatar obligitory game of thrones ftw comment.
|
 | crazyhobo17 game of thrones is ****ing awesome, god bless you sir
|
 | qwe3 how ****ing awes is game of thrones
|
| BigHans **** yes, love the Johnny Cash reference in it, and the Johnny Cash rockabilly influence at the intro.
|
| BigHans Jizz. Play loud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mV_HHL-h6g
|
| BigHans Yeah man, they all rule, check my post in Mosnter Magnet thread. Youll love all 4 albums. YouTube the song Sad Mans Tongue off Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil. Just ****ing owns.
|
| BigHans Which albums are you listening to? Volbeat, that is.
|
| SeaAnemone cool, I just finished finals today myself. so yeah, anytime... just post em in my shoutbox I guess.
|
| SeaAnemone oh CP and your hostility towards America haha... anyway, any interest in still adding a few soundoffs towards a midwestern / twinkly emo list? enotron and i combined put together some soundoffs
|
 | savagecabbage Just thought I'd let you know **whispering now** I pee in my own ass.
|
| Maniac! You know it babe. Cheap too.
|
| Maniac! Nah, I was just trolling people yesterday. I was also kidding about you ;). The whole attention whore gimmick started back when tinkerbel called me one like last year. Now I just kind of run it into the ground to mess with people.
|
| Maniac! Sir. I thought we were sput-pals. Why do you keep trolling me? :o
|
| Maniac! You beat me to the easter thread. You bastard!
|
| Irving I saw them on the telly when they held Manchester United to that famous 0 - 0 draw a few years back. I consider myself a Man U fan, but in that game their superb underdog performance was simply heartwarming. I hear they play in League Two now - is that true?
|
| wabbit hey man I can't find a link to that album anywhere any chance you can point me in the right direction?
|
| wabbit Ya that's what I enjoy. Your complaints about both TKOL and Frank turner- Rock
|
| wabbit You are my favourite neg reviewer...even though you have written negs for albums I hold very close to my heart.
|
| SeaAnemone thanks! usually my similar reviews are met with a lot of (some warranted) criticism... and I know Sputnik's opinion of this album differs from mine, so I wanted to make it pretty airtight. Thanks for looking it over!
|
| SeaAnemone cool thanks. ignore the (s***ty?) intro and any grammar/sytax stuff, and please just let me know if my argumentations is cogent and compelling :)http://wloy.org/explosions-in-the-sky-take-care-take-care-take-care/
|
| SeaAnemone sorry for fillin up the shoutbox haha, but I had another favor to ask: I wrote a negative review of an album that's well-liked on sputnik... your neg-review argumentation is usually pretty airtight and well done, would you mind looking my review over if I link you to it please? no hurry... whenever you get a chance?
|
| SeaAnemone cool... I'm thinking it'll have 40-50ish albums, I was gonna ask eno to help out too if he wanted because he knows a lot of newer stuff, you know a lot of older, and myself a little bit of both... but I was hoping you could write a few sentences on why albums like "US Songs" were awesome... lesser known stuff
|
| SeaAnemone i was gonna put together a midwestern emo list (sort of a dumb subgenre name... but can't think of a better label, any suggestions on that?) and was wondering if you'd be up for adding some inclusions or tiny write-ups on some of the essential albums? I've gotten some good midw-emo from you (Elliott, others) and we have similar taste in it... so I figured you might want to? Dunno, just an idea
|
| Maniac! you have a colorful pie. I need to get mine to have jazz, blues, and soul again.
|
| BigHans Yeah they are, and SS actually has a running theme of characters. The whole thing is based around a character named "holly," who is basically a whore who seeks redemption through relgion. Theres also a pimp/local tough named Gideon. And Charlemeigne, who is in all of their albums. Yeah, I know way too much about this band. I really connect to it cause they are from Minnesota too and have tons of hidden references to Minneapolis, all of which I get.
|
| BigHans Awesome. Thats their most "intellectual" album. I tried to mirror that in my review of it.
|
| BigHans Great Mac review. yeah I think you would really enjy The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday.
|
| Irving So this means I have to write a 1.0 review for Britney Spears' Britney? OMG NOOOO!!! PHLEBAS - PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME!!!! NOOOO!!!
|
| Irving That's the spirit =) Just don't forget me when they let you run this place ;)
|
| Irving The only thing between you and a "Contrib" title is (in my opinion) your output rate. With a little more visibility, you're easily a shoo-in for the next round of promotions. There really is no one from the current user pool - aside from yourself, that is (and maybe Nagrarok) - worthy of Contrib status. All the obvious targets have been promoted already.
|
 | balcaen no worries, you didn't seem the asshole type. WE WAS JUST HEATED
|
| Maniac! you have the best profile pic ever
|
| Maniac! You need to write a 5 review before your negativity kills you. Might I suggest: Rishloo - Feathergun?
|
| Maniac! The video was hilariously awful, but the song was pretty good. Never listened to english hip-hop before.
|
| Maniac! s***, man. That sucks. I've been pretty decent. Working hard at judo, working less hard at school haha. Been trying to find an album that inspires me enough to review it, but that's been a nogo for a while.
|
| Maniac! the new mountain goats album rules btw
|
| BigHans Anthemic punk never loses in my book.
|
| BigHans Yeah man, that is up my alley, might have to d/l that tonight.
|
 | Kiran i've been listening to the gloria record all day. i seriously owe you one.
|
 | Knott- i hadnt, but now i have. like a less produced, more punk motion city soundtrack.
|
| Maniac! DON'T RUIN THIS BAND FOR ME
|
| Maniac! Why haven't you 5'd it yet?
|
| Maniac! If you have not heard Rishloo - Feathergun, we can no longer be friends. You have 24 hours...
|
 | Aids you had better not, I already ordered the vinyl haha
|
| Aids baaahahaha nice Defeater soundoff. I'm gonna neg your review so hard O_O
|
| Irving LIBERATE US FROM THE MIND-NUMBING OPPRESSION OF s***TY NEGATIVE KING OF LIMBS REVIEWS.
|
| Irving OMGGGGGGGG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
|
| SeaAnemone haha just seems like all your reviews and comments are so negative... I forget you like music sometimes.
|
| Irving Negative review for The King of Limbs please.
|
| SeaAnemone you're become a bigger downer on the site than Downer. what happened to Brokenjewel... that guy was so nice!
|
 | stillexist Ok I can understand where you're coming from. My essential point is just that I use post-hardcore as a term of convenience, and I do not attach ideological significance to it. For instance, All Music Guide is certainly not the authority on this, but they define post-hardcore much as I would. Post hardcore is just a term that I find useful in music reviews to establish what templates the music is building from. I agree that Refused are NOT confined to post-hardcore, they are REFUSED
|
| stillexist By the way, how about a little civility in this kind of discourse. The fact that you would be compelled to call me an imbecile over this matter makes me highly question your maturity and priorities
|
| stillexist ?It'd be funny if it wasn't insulting.??I wasn't offended in the slightest, you ridiculous fool?So you were insulted but not offended?By the way, I think it's funny that (1) you would even care what genre I consider "TSOPTC" particularly when I said it was merely a signifier for a sound that is extremely multifaceted (2) You think that saying something is post-anything is derogatory. It implies advancement, not digression, and progression was the core of Refused's ideology
|
| Irving But you'll still be coming back and writing and so on, right?
|
| Irving Phleb, where are you these days!?!! Is it just me, or you hardly around anymore?!!!
|
| BigHans ****in BS that your review gotd.
|
 | EVedder27 You really deserved it as well, don't understand why at least one of us didn't get it. I'll probably be around but not as much as before and I'm not sure about reviewing.
|
| Irving I'm leaving Sputnik in protest of your failed application for Contrib.
|
 | Tyrael Mr ConsiderPhlebas, if you have the the time, could you please take a look at my new review? I am getting negged and I they are not explaining why, and since you are pretty much the reviewing authority here, you will be able to tell what I'm doing wrong...
|
 | Bulldog I was disappointed by so much Bulldog hate.
|
| Gyromania Just read your Kanye review a few minutes ago, and I have to say, you're a very gifted writer. Your review exuded so much confidence and seamlessly flowed along.
|
| BigHans pretty awesome tune, cant say Ive ever heard of them but I dig it.
|
| Irving Thanks for the props on the Staff/Contribs thread man. I really appreciated it, and it definitely made my evening. Also, I notice that you put in an application yourself - all the very best on that front! You're a phenomenal writer (your Susan Boyle piece still cracks me up every time I read it) and I think you have an excellent chance.
|
 | Deviant. Anytime man, when I think of more I'll send them your way. Do you just want more dark and heavy stuff, or just anything that I think is good?
|
| Deviant. To The Edge Of Reason by Audio - another good drum and bass album you might dig
|
| Kiran i have no idea if it does the book justice but its worth a look! the only thing i've read by hesse is 'siddhartha' but it was brilliant, i should get around to steppenwolf
|
| Kiran edited that post below but YES it's great, i've got the book lying around but i never get around to it
|
| Kiran i unfortunately have not read the book yet but i saw the movie for a film class, max von sydow is a legend
|
 | Xenophanes Yeah I suppose that would be a terrible endorsement lol
|
| Deviant. One of those guys is in 16bit (which as you know pulled out that Noisia remix)
|
| Deviant. Phace and Misanthrop also have a split album I recently reviewed. First comment has a link to the whole album on Soundcloud
|
| Deviant. For dubstep I'd say Distance, Benga
|
| Irving Hey ConsiderPhlebas. Thanks so much for the compliments, it's very kind of you to say that - you actually made my day lol =) They say cynicism comes with age, so I hope I don't go too far down that path in the days to come! Haha! Also, unless I'm mistaken, you haven't put out a review in quite a while - get on it dude!! =p ;)
|
 | bungy Why is your left pant leg so much longer than your right one?
|
| Maniac! www.atheistforums.com ... it's fun to watch the religious people get demolished
|
| Maniac! Oh why the hell did I partake in a religious debate? :/ Shame on me
|
| HSThomas From the single song I heard from Angry With The Sun, it was pretty good though that damn snare drum is a pain in its collective arse. Anyway I will check those out regardless, many thanks.
|
| HSThomas Phlebas, what were the major bands of the Belgian H8000 scene? I know one of them was Congress; is Angry With The Sun really good?
|
| BigHans Hell yeah. They might be the greatest American band, or at least one of them. Ive never met anyone who didnt like them.
|
| BigHans They are all pretty good, the easiest way to go is just get the Chorincle: Volume 1 and 2. SUperb greatest hits packages, espeically 1.
|
| BigHans Its weird that it was never one of their biggest hits. I guess they had so many great songs its tough to choose.
|
| BigHans I think you would love this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz4aNwlNrsg
|
| Maniac! lmfao, nice job. Oh btw, I should have a review posted sometime soon... maybe today.
|
| Maniac! looks cool. Did you make the penis hard or was it like that when you got there? ;)
|
| Maniac! so what museum did you go to that allowed you to knuckle bump a giant stone penis?
|
| Maniac! Luckily I don't need good vision to be a government computer nerd :]
|
| Maniac! Actually I'm considering enlisting in the military out of highschool and going into a technical field. I can get work experience, tech training, and college tuition while I'm in. Then I'll decide where I want to go after that. The career path I'm looking at in the military will take me into the civilian workforce too. (Networking Technician)
|
| Maniac! I really only like reading philosophy and literature - primarily Greek literature
|
| Maniac! I bought John Locke's 'Essay Concerning Human Understanding' today. Can't wait to read it :P
|
| Knott- lol yr comment on the list about taylor
|
| Maniac! I just noticed that I'm your neighbor
|
| Maniac! Do you get the feeling that people take this site too seriously?
|
| Maniac! Thanks :D ... Oh and I'll make up for that.
|
| Maniac! Btw, it was more of a question to get the poets that you like, if there were any similar to him... If that makes sense. You don't have to look into that hard, but I appreciate it.
|
| Maniac! You ****ing liar! I am the biggest AiC fanboy the world has ever seen!!!
|
| Maniac! Thought of any poets? Also, you do not like Alice in Chains more than me! D:
|
| HSThomas Think of Hopesfall's No Wings To Speak Of but with a emphasis on using far more discordant melodies to evoke that same feeling. They were also one signed to Goodlife Records which was how I found them. They are beautiful.
|
| HSThomas Hey Phlebas, have you ever listened to Taken's Between Two Unseens?
|
| Maniac! Good sir, will you spare some knowledge? I would like some poet recs that are similar to poe's dark style. Please and thanks ;)
|
 | Bitchfork at least your libertines and suburbs ratings are right on
|
| Bitchfork Everyone says that and her voice never bothered me. I mean it sounds so charismatic you know?
|
| Xenophanes No homo, but I love you for introducing me to Opposite of December. It's a high four at least.
|
| BigHans oh yeah. The twon I went to High SChool in had 3,000 people, and most liked country. Then I went to college in Fargo (100,000 people, a ****ing Metropolis around here, lol), and suddenly it wasnt cool anymore.
|
| BigHans Dude I get s*** for listening to it, in the ****ing Midwest. lol
|
| BigHans oh, and this aint Hank, but this is considered to be one of the greatest country songs of all time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEo8poVlQrM
|
| BigHans This is considered one of the American "classic" country songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHjaW9sXl7s
|
| Xenophanes You should ask the mods to transfer your old reviews to this profile, I really enjoy reading your reviews
|
 | BigHands Dude Ive always wondered. What the **** does your user name mean?
|
| Kiran sucks you dont review more, genuinely enjoyed reading your writing on brokenjewel
|
 | IleftyspankedU you have the most evenly balanced pie chart i've seen! makes me wanna play trivial pursuit :)
|
 | porch you should start reviewing again, i liked your old ones
|
 | Kimmypants Thanks for the welcome. I'm used to dealing with people like that, believe me. I've had these discussions before, I just didn't really expect it would be so much so fast! Anyways, my list got taken down so I guess that's the end of that.
|
 | Intothepit It's all good. If it wasn't someone screaming for attention, I'd actually have more of a conversation, but anyone who decides to make their first list about that is definitely a troll.
|
| Intothepit It's a troll dude. C'mon, you've been here long enough to see this stuff.
|
 | Margatroid I always love having a debate with openminded people. I love debating about religion mostly. I am currently in college majoring in Bible
|
 | BigTuna cheers man, I sent an email, feel free to respond or not
|
 | wyankeif1337 Same to you: you're probably the most levelheaded person in that s***storm.
|
| Margatroid I have respect for you. You are not like most athiests I've talked to in pasts, they were all... "blockheads". They seemed more intrested in flamming the relgion then actualy debating about it. I just want to say that you seem very mature.
