Most Hurtful Record Review Ever
Johnny C:
I submit, for your amusement, a game to find the most hurtful record review ever. My personal winner is the recent Stylus review for the Bravery's album, which seems like it's going to be a really good review up until the last line stabs you in the sternum.
Inlander:
My favourite is from the Drum Media - a free street magazine - years ago. Writing about Rage Against the Machine's then-current single "Bulls on Parade", the reviewer concluded by writing:
"It will probably be a hit of some kind, but the word 'hit' should be placed after the first word of the song's title."
Kai:
My personal favorite record reviews have all come from the late Lester Bangs. To pick out one, however, would be impossible.

I loved this review. First off... theme reviews rock. Secondly, you hate the band BEFORE the kick in the teeth line. Thirdly, it is one BIG fucking kick in the teeth to this band.
Johnny C:
No, normally theme reviews are pretentious, overwrought tripe that doesn't tell you why an album is bad. Yours, however, was so funny that I'm willing to overlook those points.
