Yeah I pretty much just get away with it by making every review an opinion piece(my old account was infamous because i'm fucking retarded, still kind of am, but i got pretty good review scores) |

03.04.17 | you're going to give Ten a 4.5+ now, aren't you boy |
Drifter
03.04.17 | Siamese Dream is bad agreed |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | It has a lot of great songs drifter, space boy is one of the best songs ever, it's just so plodding and honestly it's just really overrated
If you've ever seen Doof's track ratings score, on his scale Siamese Dream would be a 5 from me because having more than 2 5/5 tracks basically guarantees a 5 on the doof scale |
DoofusWainwright
03.04.17 | Yeah they're no Ariana Grande |

03.04.17 | ALA I have 15,000 songs rated on iTunes and only 1,300 are 5 starred so yeah having three 5 star songs on one album is pretty rare for me :/ |

03.04.17 | @Ars I mean I definitely might seem contrarian man but it's just my honest opinions : )
also pretty sure that Sach doesn't dig something Like Sufjan Stevens that much |

Drifter

talktothehead
03.04.17 | Billy Corgan's voice works for a few songs but very few |
danielcardoso
03.04.17 | Sach probably gave Sufjan a 2 in multiple alts. |
Drifter
03.04.17 | There was two songs I enjoyed but I don't remember what they were and I'm not gonna try and find what they were |

TVC15
03.04.17 | Yeah I don't think Billy has a "good" voice but I think it works very well for SP's music |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | It's weird because even in normal songs Billy's voice occasionally works
I mean Tonight Tonight really didn't require him to change the song around his voice, his voice just sounds so great in it |

Artuma
03.04.17 | "Wow. The first 3 songs are so good and the rest is so bad/mediocre. This is really not what I want out of a Post Punk album or just an album in general."
i wanna see this review just so that i can bash it into oblivion |
EphemeralEternity
03.04.17 | Lol Goodluck arguing that point here. |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | I mean I guess Artuma but that's really not a good mindset to go into. I really try to give all music a chance and if i can't describe reasonably why I don't like an album I simply don't review it. If I review it i think it will just be a difference of opinion rather than a real problem in the writing or explanation that could be criticized, and then you're not really critiquing the review you're just hating on the man behind it.
Besides, the first song is maybe the best opener of all time tbh. So it's not like I hate the album. |
UndineParty
03.04.17 | "When you realize metal isn't a good genre tbh"
What you currently dig isn't much better lol |
Artuma
03.04.17 | no i mean with that description the review doesn't really even have a chance of being good. of course i will try to be as objective as possible with my critique but it seems like you definitely haven't delved into the album enough to write a detailed review |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | I've delved into it a lot but ok?
I'm not in a rush to review it anyways. lot of time to grow. I have listened and considered it's themes a lot tho. Honestly when you say "doesn't even really have a chance of being good" when referring to a description you're already being a bit close minded. Unless of course it's the most knuckleheaded description ever. But that's a review i'm not doing for a long time anyways. |
hal1ax
03.04.17 | Why such a low either//or rate ? |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | It's easily the worst out of his first 3 albums for me hal1ax, but i'm not a big fan of his stuff to begin with. |
Artuma
03.04.17 | "Unless of course it's the most knuckleheaded description ever."
it kinda is if you really think of it. it's prolly the fact that you didn't put much effort into the description that makes me have negative feelings towards the possible review. i wouldn't know if you've listened to the album once or a thousand times, it's about how it looks like to me while reading the description |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | I guess but it's just a short description. Fair enough though, honestly not including Ten it's probably the album here i'm closest to hating so it probably reads like a bad description. it's just a small piece though. |

theBoneyKing
03.04.17 | Why not review lesser known albums with no reviews instead of these, even though your opinions differ from the majority on these? I mean you're far from quiet about your opinions so I feel like most users already know your feelings on these. |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | good question.
i find that the best way to start a new account is to make prolific reviews and even though I could do that by showing new stuff(maybe), I don't think the new stuff grasps enough attention. Besides, i'm mostly covering more basics nowadays than finding something no one's ever found before. Most of the stuff i have listened to that isn't reviewed is out of my league anyways(Tim Buckley).
My original account has a *lot* of original reviews and discoveries. I'll definitely get to those sometime. |
Frippertronics
03.04.17 | The new stuff is what gets the site traffic. It won't help the site if you did the thousandth review for TDAG or Ten. Plus, you never know what could happen when you review new/obscure stuff -- you could have a Sunhouse scenario on your hands. |
Dewinged
03.04.17 | Please do 14. |
theBoneyKing
03.04.17 | Fair enough. I looknforsrd to reading these reviews if you do get to them.
I guess it's a bit easier for me because even though I don't listen to super obscure stuff a lot of my music is country which means it's less likely to have a review than an equally popular (in the grand scheme) rock album. |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | That's true fripp I just feel like my new stuff is either unimportant so i feel uninspired, or i don't have enough history with the band(I was gonna review anthrax's new one)
I did have a situation like sunhouse and i didn't even have to advertise the album much.

there's a reason why people review a bunch of bandcamp stuff |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | i mean i have that track record with like ... 3 albums? Remain in light, Moon and Antartica...and uh ..................................
okay 2. These ones i've all listened to multiple times. It's okay though Pbateman, thanks for the valid criticism |
theBoneyKing
03.04.17 | I mean review whatever you want of course but for me at least the primary reasons behind reviewing are to give exposure to something and to have a thread that I can post in about it. |
talktothehead
03.04.17 | That's true Fripp. I think these reviews would be fairly original though.
Regardless, i'd love to do new stuff too. But it usually surprises me anyways, I don't go out looking for it.
By the way, 9 out of 17 of my original reviews where original reviews. 2 of them were major label new releases. And I didn't expect to do any of them until i found them. |

So a lot of people like this album : ) I do not : ) It's ok though, because I like other albums. And Spaceboy is good!!! : ) Really though you should stop reading this now and just listen to Built to Spill because it's like the same thing but better, lol : ) Also, in case you haven't noticed, I have what some might call a disturbing obsession with Billy Corgan and his music despite claiming constantly that I find it quite unremarkable! : ) But enough about that... onto the revieeew!
