| Storm In A Teacup If you listen to those Emery albums twelve times over the next year every single rating will change. Mostly for the better.
|
| Sowing damn All These Countless Nights did a 180 for me, absolutely breathtaking record
|
| Thealwaysopenedmind Bro, I don't know if I can deal with the lyrics on Amvri. They burn so bad. Haha.
|
| onionbubs did you get a promo for mayday parade?
|
| zmol hey man, i see you've listened to divisi? any way you can share the album?
|
| ellagos https://open.spotify.com/album/4xXmum9nZC1FLS1kks1MkI I'd be shocked if you didn't like this friendo
|

|

|
| Jom Depends on the circumstance. For site or forum issues, they can e-mail one of us (mine is jom.sputnikmusic at gmail, Willie's is williefisterbut at gmail, etc.). If they're sending us promos, then it can go to sputnikreviews.
|
| Calc well i only asked cuz I wasn't going to if you did since contrib reviews take precedence, no probs
|
| Calc hey are you going to review bad rabbits?
|
| Jom For promos, you can contact the label/rep directly, but you'd have to wait until the formal release date to publish unless a stream pops up in advance. Cheers!
|
| rockandmetaljunkie sweet, that guy needs more reviews. Hope you find the time to do them. ;-)
|
| rockandmetaljunkie Dude, your review of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, is such an ace review. Really appropriate, you did that album real justice. You should write another one for Let's Get It On.
|
| ZachNyeScienceGuy Thanks! Yeah, I definitely think that 131 is Emarosa's best so far, I've enjoyed it much more than I'd initially anticipated. I think Versus was better produced but the music on this new one is just so much better. You can really tell what they were going for with the gospel and blues vibes, and it fits them so well especially with all of the lyrical themes on the record.
|
| cryptside s***, that sounds amazing. Definitely checking that one out tonight! I love Drake's recent stuff, period. The last few releases from him (including the Future mixtape) have all been incredible.
|
| cryptside Good to hear, man. I just posted my first review in forever, but have some more planned. I am getting so excited about writing more lol.
|
| Gyromania me too! i've been wanting to get back into reviewing
|
| cryptside I've been okay, much better as of late. Looking forward to writing more.
|
| cryptside Hey man, congrats on getting contrib.
|
| Arcade just sounds so painfully dull. will review it and rip into it in the coming days lol.
|
| Arcade not feeling you with that Zayn rating tbh
|
| Atari Wow, that's awesome man! Sorry for the late reply, had a really busy weekend. I don't know as much of his music as I probably should, so looking forward to it. It's always nice when people cover the older classics.
|
| Atari Right on man, what kind of series or is it a surprise? sorry Jom beat u to the Brian Fallon review but I'm sure people would still be interested in what u have to say
|
| Atari That's nice of you man, but u should just go for it! I'm pretty busy this weekend anyways, and it would be a good opportunity for u to show off your new contributor chops ;)
|
| Atari damn, I'm just loving this new brian fallon
|
| Atari looking forward to it. if you haven't heard the 59 sound for some reason it's probably their best
|
| Arcade i feel that... in my final year of my undergrad and the pressure is certainly mounting already. trying to at least still pump out reviews but i think my study schedule needs to come first
|
| Atari you think you might review brian fallon's solo album? I like the songs I've heard so far but still waiting for a stream ;/
|
| Arcade you should definitely review the new 1975 album
|
| TalonsOfFire The popular 1975 songs sounded a little too Vampire Weekend to me. I'm not a huge britpop guy besides later-era Blur and Tame Impala, neither of which are really britpop anyway haha but I'll give the new one a listen when I can find it.
|
| TalonsOfFire I'm sure they're a fine band, I just looked them up expecting something amazing given how much you praise them and found like Vampire Weekend 2.0 but I'll keep trying
|
| TalonsOfFire I accidentallyd your shout b4 reading the whole thing, but in any case fair enough. I'll give the new album a try and see what it does for me.
|
| TalonsOfFire Dude what is with you and The ***ing 1975 they're all you talk about and I checked them out b/c and they're sh-t lol
|
| Gameofmetal after one time through im with you tbh. album goes IN
|
| Gyromania what a pleasant surprise to see you among the contribs =D congrats dude!
|
| Arcade ahaha, well thank you for your kind words. it will be a pleasure to work with you.
|
| ComeToDaddy Congratulations on the promotion (: we haven't had much contact on the site but I'll look forward to changing that
|
| Gameofmetal thx dude, same to you. pleasantly surprised to see you on the list since for whatever reason I don't remember seeing you around the site that much in a while. maybe we've just been in different threads or something
|
| TalonsOfFire Thx dude, congrats to you as well! As I said I'll have to make more effort to read your stuff. You and Doofus were totally off my radar last year
|
| DoofusWainwright Thanks and congrats to you too dude, will look out for your reviews
|
| Jots also - contribs can get album advances. the way I did it was I would just email a label and politely ask. then, I'd mention it in the first comment. staff just get promos from Willie, which is a sweet perk, but yeah
|
| Jots you're a talented writer. congrats on the promotion
|
| Arcade congratulations on your promotion :)
|
| ExplosiveOranges Congratulations on your promotion, dude. I'm looking forward to having you on the team.
|
| ScuroFantasma Hey man congratulations on contrib, you deserved it
|
| Mongi123 No unfortunately :/ I know staffers do sometimes, but contribs don't get advances.
|
| Mongi123 No problem thanks man. Enjoy the higher stature haha
|
| Mongi123 Congrats and welcome aboard! Any questions you may have ask away!
|
| Pon Just wanna say congrats on the promotion :)
|
| ScuroFantasma Yeah I thought I'd go for it, I haven't been overly prolifous last year but I'm hoping to up my game a bit this year.
|
| ScuroFantasma Sup, just saw that you're applying for contributor and wanted to wish you luck since every review I've read from you has been excellent.
|
| ellagos 10/10 agree with everything you're saying about the new Mayday Parade man, to me they've kept everything that made them great in the first place but they're actually pushing themselves to write more interesting songs now
|
| VheissuCrisis They've grown into my favourite band, and brother/sister is their finest. Id say you can check any of them first though except for A
|
| VheissuCrisis Appreciate it man. Yours was genuinely the best review you've done so far, you definitely got the essence of the album. It was a tough one, and I wanted to like it more than I ended up doing.
|
| Hurricanslash I'm kinda back now, trying to get back into the site. I think I just needed a few weeks to come down again. Just so you know.^^
|
| BlueSwan Did you get to check them out :)?
|
| Hurricanslash I'm just so ****ing pissed off at the Hip-Hop community on here. It's all just this big mess of either white people who think they truly understand black struggles or people that think their opinion is LAW. I'm just soooooooooooo angry. Damn. Nice to see you digging the new Kendrick as well, listened to it today, it's amazing.
|
| BlueSwan No thank you man if you have any recs for me ever of something that needs more attention :o
|
| BlueSwan Dude I'm so dumb I got it now, well you know how ex- Attack attack is a genre pretty much now lol? If you dig phil's new band and/or BeartoOth you should dig Brightwell , the screamer is nick barham if you know who that is !
|
| BlueSwan What does that mean I'm stupid :p
|
| cryptside Thanks dude!! Yeah, it's an amazing album. If you liked that album, check The Amazing's new album, reviewed it a few days ago.
|
| cryptside Yeah man, always have plenty of those. I would say Aspherium - Fall of Therenia, Arsis - Unwelcome, and Darkest Hour - Deliver Us for melodic death metal. Check Autopsy's latest for great death metal, and My Dying Bride - The Dreadful Hours for doom. :]
|
| cryptside Haha yeah, I use it as my twitter name as well.
|
| cryptside Haha just wanted a change. Seemed like the right time for it.
|
| VheissuCrisis Only a year, but I've been at least semi active since I joined in 2008. If you continue to put the same level of effort into your reviews, and generally be a good guy then you'll do well here. I can check out your next review if you like.
|
| VheissuCrisis Appreciate that man. I actually read both of your most recent reviews, so you're more well known than you thought!
|
| ExplosiveOranges Actually, I know exactly who you are...... Creepiness aside, though, thank you. You're a damn fine reviewer yourself.
|
| cryptside Happy birthday! Have a good one, mine is the 1st of March. :]
|
| cryptside Thanks again buddy. You have the right attitude about it, so hopefully it will happen for you in the future.
|
| cryptside Thanks man, definitely appreciate it! Keep plugging away, you're a great writer.
|
| cryptside You've definitely had like 4 or 5 of your reviews featured, right? I think you have a fair chance, for sure.
|
| cryptside Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm hoping you and I both get contrib, honestly. You're a great writer, and even though you don't have too many reviews under your belt, you've been consistently featured.
|
| Hurricanslash That's amazing! Congrats! The discussion in the comments turned pretty weird, though.
|
| Hurricanslash Sounds cool, man! Also, yeah, congrats that people don't hate your review that much, I expected much worse from Sput, but alas, surprises apparently still happen. I still can't really look at the comments, because I am easily very irritated by people who aren't open to discuss their opinions.
|
| cryptside s***, tried to copy your fb link and accidentallyd it lol. Could you post it again?
|
| cryptside No worries, dude!! I've been well, work and life has been nuts but I like it that way. I still really enjoy FOB even once in awhile. What about you? Things going well?
|
| scottpilgrim10 Check Sleater-Kinney's new album it's only 32 minutes long and it rules
|
| Hurricanslash A german university in Northrhine-Westphalia, how about you?
|
| Hurricanslash But even on pop-artists they apparently like they can't decide if they really do. Yup, I am, you guessed it.
|
| Hurricanslash Yup, especially with Punk and rap. Added you on lastfm, btw. You're 19 as well?
|
| Hurricanslash It IS unjustified, but hey, it's Sputnik, so, yeah, Sputnik hates FOB anyways, so I guess this was no big surprise.
|
| AliW1993 Excellent, thanks a lot. 1 paragraph, 2 maximum. The ones we have so far average about 150-250 words, so something along those lines. If you could send it to arawelford@aol.com in the next few days that'd be great.
|
| AliW1993 Hey man. I'm coordinating this year's User's best-of lists, and was wondering whether you'd be up for writing a short blurb about Hands Like Houses' 'Reimagine' EP? None of the site's contributors have heard the record, and the review you wrote was excellent.
|
| cryptside I will probably check it sometime in the next few days lol. With kids and my work schedule this weekend, it's so hard to find time to download new music to check out.
|
| cryptside I haven't, but it sounds light and frothy, which will be a nice way to change listening gears lol. I will check them, probably before T Swift honestly.
|
| cryptside I see you dug T Swift's new one. I need to check it out b
|
| cryptside Thanks for checking it out my friend. Let me know if you do get the chance to check him out. Reviewing RtJ2 tonight.
|
| cryptside Mind checking out my most recent review?
|
| cryptside Job's been killer for me, so I know how that goes lol. Yeah, check out Childish Gambino if you get the chance, BtI is a very good album.
|
| cryptside Nice dude! What did you think of Glassjaw? Thrice is great as well, and if you dug Glassjaw I would check out letlive. and Finch's second full-length Say Hello to Sunshine.
|
| cryptside For melodic death metal, I would rec Darkest Hour-Undoing Ruin, The Black Dahlia Murder-Nocturnal, and With Dead Hands Rising-The Horror Grows Near (a mix of metalcore and melodic death metal). There is just more of a focus on melodic leads and solos, and most of the vox aren't as guttural compared to death metal. Definitely let me know what you think of these though!
|
| cryptside Hmm, well it is somewhat difficult to get into. My favorites are Cryptopsy-None So Vile, Decapitated-Winds of Creation, and Morbid Angel-Blessed Are the Sick are my top three. You may want to try out melodic death metak first though.
|
| cryptside Awesome review, man. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite writers on this site. We have pretty similar taste too, it seems.
|
| Gnocchi Hoping you'll get back to me yeah?
|
| Gnocchi Hey dude, would you consider writing for a music review zine?
