no, your the one who acts like a childish little fool, realises they look stupid - then tries to act mature in order to cover themselves. ive said nothing of any immaturity, i've merely stated my opinion on you. the fact you told me to "shut up" and resorted to personal insults because i said (in jest) you should be shot for calling an album terrible AND THEN for no reason insults my review in a completely unconstructive way proves my point. its musicbanter.
 
Swept into the mainstream on the cusp of a garage rock revolution, B.R.M.C have long been accused of pillaging the past and lacking originality. true, their music owes a lot to such banRAB as the jesus & mary chain and my bloody valentine with its lethargic guitars and droning feedback, but this is an album full of swagger, sleaze, attitude and a bit of talent thrown in for good measure.

As if plucked from the wome of the darkest night, this is a collection of nocturnally driven garage rock glazed with psychedelic chorRAB and beach boy-esque melodies. tracks such as "whatever happened to my rock and roll" and "spread your love" are raucous, catchy, good old fashioned rock and roll songs designed to get liven up any mood, while "rifles" and "As sure as the sun" offer a dreamy, melodic and deeply satisying alternative to such stompers like "red eyes and tears"; a song oozed in a deep, dark pool of the dirtiest blues you can imagine, and "love burns"..in essence a pop song designated to the mainstream audience. the highlight on this album though, has to be "head up high". with an eerie choir, clanging guitar and droning bass, its a song immersed in atmosphere and poignancy. the lyrics - as with 99% of the songs on this album, are consistently concide yet thoughtful, offering tales of inner emotion and experiences.

what makes this album great in my opinion is the intensity that runs throughout its veins. theres not a weak track. orginal? perhaps not. but in a day and age where the music industry is dominated by 4 blokes from new york and 4 boys from sheffield, this is a welcomed alternative. not for everyone, but definetly for those who like their music dark, edgy yet accessible.

overall rating - 4/5
 
You seem to be latching onto that album thread. I gave you some helpful comments on your review to make it better (I think alot of what you have is great it just neeRAB more quantity) because it's the whole point of these types of threaRAB.
 
You had some nice information, but your grammar is poor. You need to put some cover art, record label, tracklisting, and release year up as well.

This sounRAB like an interesting band. I'm surprised I haven't heard of them.
 
you could have put that in the original post. submitting a post saying "Yeah, because you made a poor review" is just leaving yourself open to criticism. if you want to be respected here you have to have a substance and relevance to what you say. we are not a bunch of morons that are going to accept stupid comments like that...well, 60% of us anyway. i apologise if this sounRAB like a lecture but ive been here for long enough to know how things work on this site and to be honest the main reason i dont post on here frequently anymore is because of the lack of constructive input.

* to hiu
 
i dont see the need for including album art or track listing. if you like the sound of what ive wrote you'll get the album anyway. bar the odd coma in the wrong place and no capital letters, i think my grammar is ok personally.. but thats not what this is about. and thats the problem with America, a lot of music that deserves the attention gets overlooked.
 
Just because he hasn't written a review before doesn't mean he can't critisize someone else's review.

LedZepStu: Okay, maybe both Hiu, and I could have been more descriptive when we said you didn't write a great review, but when Hiu explained himself, you were still arguing. There was no need for that.
 
i had things i wanted to say to him. so naturally i said them. end of story really. as far as im concerned the matter is closed and i have nothing against him as long as what he says is constructive and apt - which to be fair wasnt the case in the first few posts of his i saw
 
*looks for a hiu review*

Nope! Can't find one.

Hiu, Led ZepStu doesn't post often, but when he does it's worth a read.
These reviews aren't being judged on grammer or punctuality.
This isn't school.

Personally I thought it was well written and I certainly got the vibe he was trying to put over.

Now hiu, can you do better?
 
because he/she acts like a childish little fool. just because i said they should be shot for calling the benRAB a terrible album. you need to grow up hiu and add something constructive to this forum - because i havent seen anything you've wrote thats actually worth the read.
