I may have played volleyball for that guy, once.

Oh God I remember that fucking review. Ever since I've read it I've basically written off TMT as being anything other than shit. God reading it again is making my blood boil I swear I'm gonna punch the fucking computer.
michaelicious:
You wrote off an entire website because you disagreed with the opinion of one person?
I think this is my main problem with people getting all up in arms over internet music review websites. They look at the site like it is one monolithic entity that is trying to force its opinion on you, but these sites are just groups of people who love music. So, Jonathan P doesn't like .22. Who fucking cares. Literally billions of people don't like .22. Sure, maybe he was being a little bit dismissive but it's not like a music review is supposed to be an authoritative source written on a monument about whether or not an album is good or bad. It's just some dick's opinion.
Edit: I'm not trying to harsh on you or anything, Chris. I am sorry that it probably came off that way.
Inlander:
Yeah, I don't really see what's got everyone all up in arms about that review. He didn't like the album. He explained why he didn't like the album. He made it clear that he wasn't pissing on the album just for fun. What do you want, a completely bland opinion free track-by-track descriptive account of the album?

People do and will though, I get hate mail, but then i 'm often an utter dick when I review stuff.
It's when you have a huge stack of CD's to review & half of them are samey toss bollocks it's gets a little hard to "Sounds like Biffy Clyro, only bad" in an interesting way.
(Really I've got 6 at the moment that I just don't know what to write as they are so BORING they aren't even bad.)
However I would like to add that My Father (A Journalist, a proper one who does news and that) always said it harder to write something nice than nasty so you should always try and find something, one thing positive to write about.
I do TRY & do that. But for bands that have put no effort in originality that can be hard.
Plus fuck everyone else, it's my opinion :D
