 | dcha Whereabouts do you live in Lawrence?
|
 | Satellite haha awesome man. was it as bad as i made it seem?
|
| Satellite yeah dude, i gained like 20 lbs. i was skinny as s*** before and i run a lot now, though. i was having wicked panic attacks and paxil definitely helped, but i'm still not convinced that it didn't do more harm than good.
|
| Satellite they cut my dosage in half, then i went every other day. cold turkey would ****ing suck even more dude.
|
 | Deviant. As cliche as it is, Untrue by Burial

|
 | CrackTheSkye Don't fret about your pre-order being a waste. This is just as good if not better than Somewhere...
|
| CrackTheSkye Ah, that sucks, man. Will be worth the wait though.
|
| CrackTheSkye Enjoy dude http://www.mediafire.com/?23ya08xi71hklgv
|
 | Jash thanks man! i appreciate you takin the time to listen
|
 | Jom It's all good, lad -- I just wait for you to become more self-aware to remind me now :]
|
 | kris. no s*** lol i live in emporia
|
| kris. where you from cuz im like an hour from lawrence 2
|
| Jom Rewriting No Mercy's lyrics to read: "Where did you go... on Tumblr... I WANNA KNOWWWW"
|
| Deviant. Scuba - Triangulation, Distance - My Demons, Clubroot (both his self titled and II-MMX), Pinch - Underwater Dancehall, Zomby - Dedication (the comparison is a stretch but it's just a great album, so...) Digital Mystikz - Return II Space and Urban Ethics (2 EPs that when put together make an album) and Desolate - The Invisible Insurrection (not actual dubstep, it's more just lo-fi/idm but production wise he copies Burial to a tee)
|
| Deviant. Glad to hear you're liking it man. You should definitely check his other stuff out, but Untrue is still his best work. I can give you some similar artists if you like
|
| Jom Well, I teach now, but private practice would be wonderful and then move to a uni to teach cour$e$ there. I know that $ometime$ people will $ay how it'$ not about thing$ like the money but for the greater good or whatever... well, I would definitely feel pretty ****ing $pectacular if I had a fatter $tack of ca$h than I do currently... hahaha. You?
|
| Jom I already did my undergrad, so now I'm doing all my stuff to preface the research, thesis, and dissertation for private practice. A lot of time and money going down the drain now, but hopefully it pays for itself later, ya know? Tuition isn't as bad here as I thought it would be, but I'm still learning the exchange rate.
|
| Jom Ah, you know, bulls***'s bulls***, we all have to deal with it. It's not so much the work that's the problem, it's getting blasted in the ass paying the graduate tuition fee after the uni accepted an 8.9% tuition spike. It's been nice with no kids for the past month... it was a weird year, the ****ing useless:nice kid ratio felt like 15:1 this year.
|
| Jom Oh, I don't actually have one, but when there was that blog post back in the day about people who Tumble I clicked and laughed and read a couple pages when I'm stressed out about work, work, and work. And other life things. But mostly work. Ha! Thanks again, dude!
|
| Jom Ahhhhhhhhhhh yes, there it is. Personally, I liked the old style you had with the header and it being up-down, but this is best. Thanks, dude!
|
| Jom The one about you being the third revelation, you sexy thang.
|
| Jom Hey dude, I don't know if you're still around, but I'm kinda devastated youd your Tumblr... it always made my day when I was having a s***ty one. Or maybe you changed names? Either way, please let me know if/when you see this. Thanks, dude! Hope all is well in the meantime.
|
 | BigHans Sinatra is more of a greatest hits kind of guy. Look for something that has like 40-50 of what is considered his best tunes, can't go wrong. In The Wee Small Hours is a great "album."
|
 | Maniac! I definitely like your reviews a lot. Let me know if you really want to help contribute to the site.
|
 | Eko the kid was awesome
|
 | DaveyBoy Cool. Interesting timing with the new Alk3 album not too far away.
|
| DaveyBoy His or Alkaline Trio. Hopefully I dont have to be on facebook to listen to it.
|
 | cvlts dude yes it was fcking amazing!
|
 | Romulus much appreciated, it's always nice to hear love for grover
|
 | Trebor. Ron Swanson's pyramid of greatnessChanged my life
|
 | BallsToTheWall I'm a vengeful fist pumper. I fist pump in defiance of American society's unworthiness.
|
 | Knott- I is are linguist. French
|
| Knott- I fully expect to fail my degree if I write it any time soon!
|
 | Kiran check your email dudester
|
| DaveyBoy True to some extent. I love tracks 7 and 10 though.
|
| Kiran word, i'll get back to you in a bit dude, in a lecture at the mo :(
|
| Kiran do you have an aim or email or something? itd be easier than laying it out across different reviews or in a shout
|
| DaveyBoy So whats your thoughts on the newie. Gonna be a 3.5 for me. 4 great songs, 3 good ones and 3 that are just ok.
|
| Kiran thanks dude! and yeah sure, i'll be busy for the majority of the day today but i'll hit you up later on!
|
| DaveyBoy I do. Im just going through their discog once again for the sake of comparison.
|
| DaveyBoy Only heard it once Nevin, so cant really fully comment as yet apart from saying its around the mark again but wont break them out again.
|
| cvlts dude, you should check out Joyce Manor. I think you'd love them
|
| Eko i am mr eko not hurley
|
| cvlts hell ya. sad ending, but it was fun while it lasted
|
 | Observer Thank you Nevin. I didn't think I'd get it tbh
|
 | Sowing haha nothing too special, at least that i am aware of. if anything sometimes i worry i rate albums too fast. it doesn't happen all the time, but every now and then my opinion of an album will drastically change a few weeks or months after i already reviewed it, then im just like oh well too late
|
| Sowing until i think i have an accurate read on it. also depends on the genre and how comfortable i am with it. on average i give it an initial run through not even thinking about the review, where i just kind of let the music happen to me. then the second time i sit at my computer as i listen and jot down some general throughts. then i put it together into a review, which may or may not require additional listens. why do you ask?
|
 | Mordecai. i like to think their is a bit of triforce in all of us
|
| Sowing thanks slum, keep up the good work yourself!
|
 | chambered89 it just hit me one night i kinda stopped looking for something profound in the music and just let the lyrics wash over me and boom it completely affected me in every facet thhat music can
|
| Sowing for sure...im not sure how it makes me feel. it's like i want to be angry with the music but it is too fun to sing along with to be angry haha
|
| Sowing it doesn't strike me as angry music though
|
| Sowing i havent made up my mind yet on the rating...its so different from what im used to, so that alone elevated it...the guys vocals are kind of gruff for my taste but it is growing on me...the opening song, closing song, and a pot in which to piss are all phenomenal.
|
 | mynameischan it is just their best album to me, and i listened to it a lot earlier this year when i was going through some stuff, and when things got better, the album still meant just as much to me, so i raised it to a 5
|
 | amoretouche420 By the way, Nevin you should check out This Town Needs Guns. There pretty legit music is kinda weird but i enjoy the lyrics
|
| Kiran your review wasn't too shabby either, my man, definitely keep it up
|
| Kiran thanks man, i really, really love that album so i tried my best to do it justice! still undoubtedly my aoty
|
 | SeaAnemone yeah I wish they'd just start working on a full length already haha
|
| SeaAnemone haha I don't have it yet :( we'll see... do you know when the release date is?
|
| SeaAnemone I havent had much time lately, and when i do have time to write i,m workin on the user decade list soundoffs, that really needs to get finished, so i pledged not to review any more until we finish that :/
|
| SeaAnemone I actually haven't yet, ugh, I have had so little time to listen to music, but I'll be getting a TON more time to do so soon, so I just made a note of it (literally) and I'll try to remember to say something on your review after I do!
|
 | Bitchfork kk just making sure you werent a noiz-hater
|
| Bitchfork why do you hate my Ep?
Too noiz for you?
jw for like criticism and such.
|
| SeaAnemone haha yeah I realized that 99% of my time was spent working/running/eating/sleeping/being with my gf and if I didn't get rid of that 1% that was my writing/Sputnik time my head was gonna explode. and yeah, take it easy man... ps I have a review up now if you're interested! :)
|
| SeaAnemone unrelated note: I still really need to listen to that band like I Can Make A Mess.. or whatever
|
| SeaAnemone was away from the site for 2 weeks or so, goin on a little reviewing spree this weekend like 3 maybe... then I'll be away for like 2 weeks. I won't be round here much til the fall, workin full time/trainings really kickin in for cross country/beach... summer stuff too. oh well,
|
| SeaAnemone sup Slum? congrats on the feature! :D you've been hard at work lately!
|
| Bitchfork How can an inanimate object be miserable?
|
| Bitchfork Esp. from Nevin.
Srsleeeeee: wudduuuup
|
| Bitchfork I love how your reviews get so many comments. I really just noticed.
|
| Bitchfork Why did you laugh at me on Alice's shoutbox?
|
| Deviant. No probs man, I can add more in the future if you would like me too
|
 | MUNGOLOID lol yeah i knew right from the trailers that he would be an evil prick.
|
| MUNGOLOID agree and it did show how close the toys were as a family than any other scene in any other toy story ever did before.
|
| MUNGOLOID i heard some people complaining how the fire pit scene could be a little too intense for some kids. one even compared it to the holocaust.
|
| MUNGOLOID i'm really having a hard time right now if it is better or not. i'm going to have to see it again but i will easily say that it was the most emotional of the three.
|
| MUNGOLOID finally saw toy story 3. yeah, it freaking owned.
|
| BallsToTheWall Who the **** is Pat Riley? Who the **** IS PAT RILEY? WHAT WHAT!!!!! STAB YOU IN THE FACE

|
 | bloc Haha, then do it!
|
| MUNGOLOID definitely. the action in pixar flicks have had major improvements.
|
| MUNGOLOID idk. i never bothered to check it out either and even tried watching it once but just never got into it. i still think that The Incredibles deserves a sequel more than any other pixar movie.
|
| MUNGOLOID real good to hear that and the overall reception of it. it's still lame that cars is getting a sequel though.
|
| MUNGOLOID nah not yet but i need to get on that asap! i'm trying to go sometime this week by the least.
|
 | Bulldog i might end up doing both, really. the reaction to a 2.5 recovery would be interesting, and as for a concept review, i was thinking from like the point of view of eminem's psychiatrist or therapist or somebody who was studying his mind in some way or another
|
| Bulldog Im thinking an Eminem release. Maybe a 2.5 review for Recovery, or a concept review for SSLP or MMLP
|
| Bulldog just chilling. i have reviewing fever yet again and im trying to restrain myself
|
| SeaAnemone I have a few ideas actually-- one is a concept review for a classic of mine, another is a 4.5 review for my fav soundtrack of all-time (not on the site yet), or I have a third idea that's considerably more creative/ambitious but might turn out horribly. haha im full of ideas
|
| Bulldog Fun intros are always awesome.
|
| Bulldog i usually go for a "connection to your world" intro. that is, make something interesting, and then, somehow link it to the album
|
| Bulldog for the one im going for, yea.
|
| Bulldog i've been trying to find a good point of attack, but i cant find anything. :(
|
| Bulldog glad to be back, and glad people are glad im back :D and hell yea man, but im lacking inspiration
|
| bloc Whether I'm at school or not or simply doing work, I'm pretty much always on my laptop. So, I guess that speaks for itself ; )
|
| MUNGOLOID YES! it's one of the only summer movies that I'm actually hyped to see.
|
 | SlightlyEpic one of those is easier to do than the other rgssdfasd
|
| SeaAnemone ... supposed to say PLUS 4 great songs... I guess they're not unreleased, just off the rare Japanese version. but they rival anything on the ful-length.
|
| SeaAnemone I have a special mediafire d/l of the full E!E! album four GREAT unreleased songs... their frontguy Keith latinen sent me it for the review I wrote! :D he kiiiinda asked me to keep it to myself, but I wouldn't mind giving you the link password if you don't spread it around :)
|
| SeaAnemone I knaw rite????!!! and ya... keep up the sooper reviewing!
|
 | SrightryEpic pffffttt your little water pokemon will pretty much just evaporate sorry bro
|
 | ninjuice Congratulations on apparently being the first to recognize him. Wargreymon wouldn't work well in an av. I was into Pokemon for about a day when they got popular and then decided to go non-conformist.
|
| SeaAnemone ha I was the last post too! anyway... for some good modern emo check out:this oft-d blog-http://lyricswillnotreachtheaudience.blogspot.com/and Empire!'s label-Count Your Lucky Stars2 good starting places.
|
| SeaAnemone ... crux of the argument. This applies when you're talking about the lyrics, his voice, and most notably the instrumentation, and I think that's why there's (too) many negs.Also, don't use vocab that's above you. That's not meant as an insult, but your writing seemed unnatural, and some simple reviews can still be very well-done. You chose one of the hardest albums on the site to review, I think, and that also contributes the partially negative reaction. Anyway, hope this helps!
|
| SeaAnemone I saw you asking for a critique on your latest review and I really enjoyed some of your previous but for whatever reason this one wasn't quite up to par... let's see...little logical thing that may bother people, you didn't "witness" greatness you heard itgrammatical: don't capitalize the words after :'s or ;'s now we get to the biggest problem, rather than saying "this is the greatest, and I don't quite understand why," an album (yes even ITAOTS) review requires that you explain why, the
