[Linda Ferreira]

bon jovi, metal?



I always rely on somebody else to determine the genres (bio pages, press releases, websites, direct communication). In this case, I got that classification off of the myspace page because the CD just showed up without a bio sheet or press information. I will be happy to change it if you let me know what I should change it to.

i dont really care
i just thought it was funny, especially if they actually call themselves metal
but rock/pop pretty much covers bon jovi, so does awesome

if it's not possible, find someone else to help.

We try. Believe me, we try. I work very hard to make sure that everything is sent out to someone and at least given a listen. AP also welcomes user reviews. Are you offering to help?

not necessary. We try our hardest around here to review everything. It's just hard to know how many albums are sent our way on any given week.

Linda is one of the hardest working staff member on this site. And she does it all behind the scenes, so that people like you don't even get the chance to complain. Cut us some slack.

[xtheagonyscenex]

August Burns Red.....probably the top metal album of the year thus far..IMO of course.

[abbietoeknee]

def review russian circles. those guys are phenomenal live!
