View Full Version : What Was In Our Mailbox?

In an effort to give the bands that are so generous to send us albums for review, listening, etc., a little more exposure. I've decided to start posting our weekly mail on Mondays with our other "weekly posts." Seeing as we may never get around to being able to review every single CD we get in the mail, this is our way of trying to get those bands who spend their (or their label's) hard earned money on stamps and mailings, a little bit of limelight. So please check out (a shortened version, I moved and we're getting the mail system kinks figured out) this week's list right here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=1777018#post177701 8), and all of the past weeks in our archive here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=148).

now now now, dont worry, we all will get what we want, some might just end up with a burned copy, just to hold us over till the cds are relased though, because we only take the ones that we cant wait any longer to take. now... who knows where jason lives? we shall find out and meet at the 7-11 closest to his house.

"stay on my side tonight, whoa oh oh oh"
That's one of those songs where 7 minutes just isn't enough...

the funny thing is that they dont review nearly 1/2 of what they get in.. hmm interesting.. I review like 70 % of what I get for AMP.. I know tsome are smaller reviews but even if it short, its better than not doing anything with the album

I get 15 cds in the mail a week...personally. It's impossible even to maintain a 20% review ratio.

Do they know who they are yet? If they do, I suck.
I think this is a cool idea. Could introduce people to some new bands. It'd be rad if you guys started posting little detailed blurbs about the albums.
I want Thrice badly.
lucky bastards getting all these CD's in the mail

idk how many cd's ap gets a week... but w/ this im betting they will get alot more. hell i should start a site that shows every cd a band has sent me for free and maybe i can get a shitload of free cd's. but probably not.

Am I the only person who's sorely indifferent to post-Bleed American JEW? This EP included?
