to know that this review is completely correct

Gold.

are my absolute fucking hero

Because he has Springsteen.

And no Abba.

Because he is the biggest fucking cunt I have ever seen in my entire life.

Best review ever.

god I love this album

100% absolutely fucking correct.

In the 'dealing with audience members' stakes.

Yeah, well done on saying the stupidest thing anyone has ever said.

I could have sworn you just claimed The National to be influenced by Coldplay... I must have been mistaken.

Musicians are so fucking dull

he justifies not listening to the black crowes album and then reviewing it, by comparing it to going on a blind date or to a meal and says "why would you wait for the main course if the starter consisted of rat hair and dog shit" (or something)

Well... BECAUSE REVIEWING THAT CD IS YOUR FUCKING JOB!

I don't go into work and say, "hmmm... I'm not a big fan of this new ordering system, I'm off home"

Something to Write Home About really is the best record... pretty much ever.

but I would be surprised if that was the case to be honest.

Regarding the 'do reviews matter' question:
I think that when you're younger and new to the whole music thing you take reviews and features on artists a lot more on face value. ie. when I was 12/13, if Kerrang said something was good then I'd buy it.

After a few years of buying hit and miss records you start to realise to take things with a pinch of salt.

Until you reach my age and just assume that all music is shit and everyone is lying.

In all seriousness, as much as I respect DiS' view on music, I'm also well aware that a review is based on one person's opinion that can easily differ from mine from record to record.

Ah, pedantic.

That's all I needed to know about that guy before dismissing his opinions completely.

I absolute abhor violence of any kind against any one for any reason. Even worse when it's a group of people on one person. EVEN WORSE when it's completely unprovoked.

Society needs to man the fuck up and get over it.

Great picture though it is..

like a bear on a rat

who feel exactly the same.

Some of them have massively eclectic music tastes but still rate post-rock a little differently because of that 'feel' factor.

it's like the BEST day :-D

then said it was?

I mean

I can only really say that it's music I love to play, simply because it can move me more than I have ever experianced with previous bands of other ilks.

A chord change, or a change of dynamics can get my stomach knotted up - and that's why I love it.

I don't know if we're good post rock, or bad post rock (i'm not entirely sure of the difference), but I just don't care.

I think, live every other genre in music, you like some of it, and you don't like some of it. I don't see how it can be viewed as any more or less stagnant than punk/indie/r&b/rap/dance etc etc etc.

MEGALOLZ

So so much

Over and over and over again

in horribly horribly wrong shocker

But great headline
