Thanks a lot man. Tons of my reviews only get like 200 or 300 views because they cover somewhat obscure bands that play music not typically associated with AP.net and others get totally shit on by readers but this one seems to be generating relatively positive response. That always makes me a happy little boy.

P.S. I've always loved your RXB avatar. They're one of my favorite recorded groups and maybe in my top five live acts ever.

Excellent review considering I'm not huge fan of Cursive. They are pretty unique, and I like unique...

i'm even later on the bandwagon than you, i didnt really like them when i heard them back in my "pop-punk" days... but ive matured now and after reading your review, i decided to give them a few listens.. i think it may be love. thank you!

cursive is an amazing band, better than most of the bands on here.

thanks for exposing them to more people. hopefully they'll listen to the record and realize that a record can have complex, overarching themes with multiple interpretations to a song other than "some d00d is sad about a gurl".

awesome review for an HP scot...

Uh-oh do we have a Scot hater here? Oh well the school's pretty much full of assholes so I'm sure whatever negative sentiment you hold toward it is at least somewhat justified. I can't tell if that was even really a compliment, but thanks nonetheless.

haha thats basically because you are one of the few staffers on here with good taste in music. imo. shake the haters off and keep up the good work man.

Thanks. I'll do that man. You'll be seeing plenty more out of place reviews coming from me such as the new Young Jeezy. That's going to be a killer disc.

And thanks everyone else too.

to be honest, i dont think this album is all that great. i was expecting something a lot better, considering they spent such a long time on it. the album really drags on.
