I'd have to give it to Drew. I also love Blake's reviews, his sense of humour is outstanding.

Anton and Joe. I cheated.

Greg. I don't really know who he is, nor do I ever fully read the reviews, but he seems to review some pretty decent albums. Had to give him some love.

Blake. Even though he's kinda mean.

But I read the Tate ones the fastest because they're so rare.

Alex DiVincenzo

Ha, oops.
Haha, it's fine. I don't review that often, and when I do they're certainly not the best. We've got a lot of talented people. I can't even pick a favorite.

No offense to the others... I like Drew and Blake the most. I voted for Drew.

I have probably five whole reviews in the system from the past three years...it simply must be me!!!

I put Jeremy just because I like a lot of the albums that he reviews

Blake has the most flair to his writing and thus got my vote, but Jeremy and Gregory are both terrific writers with classy taste, and Chris is spot-on much of the time as well.

drew because his name seemed most familiar to me.

Drew or Blake. I voted Drew but didn't realise he was winning by such a landslide... Sorry Blake!

The only reason Gregory is losing is probably due to the massive unpopularity of the music he reviews. However, he is my favorite on the site.

For me it's a tie between Gregory and Drew.

Drew or Steve Henderson who isn't on the list...

Haha, I'm not a reviewer though.

Drew because he reviews what I listen to like The Bled.

03/14/10, 01:26 AM
I always thought Steve's prose stood out. Does he not review anymore?

I have to go with Greg, even if I don't like the music which 50% of the time I do like it I always read his reviews because they're well written. Also he is the only reviewer that makes me feel dumb and have to pull out a thesaurus. Fallon is another one of my favorite reviewers just because he has mostly the same taste as me.

I love Blake. He gave Common Dreads by Enter Shikari a nice review.

Yeah yeah let me have my bias :wave:

From this list I'd say Adam (most similar tastes) and Gregory (best overall writer).
Those not listed though would be Julia (she seems to be reviewing a lot less these days though) and Garett (mentioned for being the only staff member last year to give David Bazan the nod he deserved).

Jeremy and Chris, hands down. They are by far the best writers out of all of them, and their reviews are actually informative and articulate rather than just full of obnoxious, mostly-irrelevant anecdotes. Blake tries way too hard to be funny and creative and it makes his reviews fail in their main purpose (i.e., actually describing in detail the strengths, weaknesses, overall quality of the album). Drew's and Greg's are good too though.

I agree with pretty much everything you just wrote. Chris is easily the best reviewer, regardless of if I agree or disagree with him.

I'm a Drew and Blake fan. But Chris has done some great reviews. And I also enjoy some old school weebs reviews.

I picked Jason based on his review of the Gatsby's American Dream album Volcano.
(I know it was 5 years ago....)

Anton and Chris ftw. Blake's reviews are hilarious. I respect Drew's reviews for the most part. And Tate hasn't done a review since Manchester Orchestra so...

I went with Fallon. Blake a close second.

I don't know if they write reviews anymore, but I always found Julia Conny and Steve Henderson's reviews to be the best.

If not, then Blake Solomon and Drew Beringer.

Based on the fact that he writes really good reviews, and not that we have similar tastes, had to go with Blake.

Drew easily. The results of this poll are suprisingly almost exactly how I'd rank them. I mean Jeremy Aaron gave Mayday Parade's new album a 77%...
