I always like reading your reviews, and this one was no exception.

1."spastic post-punk soundtrack"
2. "politically charged"
3. "danceable rhythms, frantic drumming, and occasional handclap moment"
4. Any of the references I made to Johnson's vocals.
5. The comparisons at the end.

Isn't that enough?

I really like how you use two paragraphs and an immaterial comparison to Robin Williams instead of the appropriate word for what you're trying to say: "abject." It was really innovative the way you didn't actually describe the record, but just referenced it to something in the popular zeitgeist. Chuck Klosterman would be really impressed.


P.S. I really appreciated the sentence fragment there at the end. The thud of grammatical ineptitude really helps send your message home.

Ha, very well written response! I'll address it with the following:

If I learned anything from English 101 and 102 in college, it's that writing by the rules is essentially the most restrictive form of expression. Masturbatory, even.

P.S. I am flattered that you would register as a user on this site for the sole purpose of commenting on one of my reviews.

this review sucks

i'm not sure how a three paragraph review in which one paragraph is a crappy anecdote and the only thing of substance are a few bare-bones phrases on the genre is acceptable

I've never read of any of your stuff (nor do I have any desire), but I'm sure you're writing in the same generic style as everybody else. You're probably comfortable with that, too. That's ok, I guess. It's just not what I do.

So I'm glad someone has the integrity to just delete my comment instead of just addressing it.

One of the best albums I've heard in awhile, Great live show too.

that's the lamest assumption i've ever read

it's okay to not be formulaic and still keep your review RELEVANT

and since when is "not formulaic" equal to writing a crappy two paragraph robin williams anecdote?

Obviously, there's a synapse problem with you because you don't comprehend the connection I offered. In the future, I'll explain things to you like I do my Kindergarteners.

who said anything about comprehension? that robin williams shit was lame, dude
