Your review was better.

Album Rating: 4.0

Why thank you samizdat.

Not a problem. My take on JViney: dude was promoted to staff on a whim in the last staff-reaping or whatever you want to call it, was essentially a new user prior to the harvest, got lucky, and since then has failed to really live up to staff expectation. He isn't all that active as a user, the frequency of his reviewing is spotty and in waves, and honestly, is pretty textbook and/or safe. The Mr. Orange of the Reservoir Crew, if you will: I ain't 100% on this one.

Disclaimer: not trying to incite you, Mr. Viney.

I read an article on these guys where Corgan says this was the first album he has truly enjoyed making in a long time, and said the bassist helped write a lot of it. I'm thinking maybe she is the reason for the increase in quality?

A new Smashing Pumpkins album that doesn't suck? This I have to hear to believe.

Album Rating: 4.0

Or maybe he's banging a mod... Yeah... think of that one.

Good review. Still not sure if I personally want to venture into next generation Pumpkins yet or not, though.

Panopticon, Oceania (Oceanic), The Celestial.

someone just discovered Isis...

Does it really matter? Internet fights, come on now.

a bunch of guys that no one knows arguing about how some other guy that no one knows either got lucky

"My review is better. Deal with it."



If you were that good then you'd be staff. Deal with it.

Jviney is pretty much the best writer on the site



I'd give that to Adam Downer... I've always really liked his reviews, because he actually talks about the music and informs people about the album's style.

stop being a little bitch because someone wrote a better review than you OWhoadYo

Don't believe I am. Just have always thought Adam does a very nice job with his reviews. No need to use profanities, Costanza certainly doesn't deserve that.



I find it sad that 2 people negged my review just because they are sticking up for JViney. I'm not complaining about being negged, I don't mind, but the fact that they did it without stating a reason for their distaste. I really like criticism, as does everyone, anything to make my reviews better I suppose. So whoever negged my Oceania review, please tell what you didn't like about it. Thank you.
