Even though "tattooed" was spelled wrong, this was a freaking genius line. Too boot, another absolutely stellar review. I have certainly missed your witticism/quips/humor/insight. It has been far too long. Cheers!

atrocious typo. fixed, and thanks for the well-wishes. I'm on school break starting tomorrow, so I will hopefully have a few reviews up during the next 3 or 4 weeks.

a collaboration on two different reviews by two different people for two completely different musical outfits? How does that make sense?

so you would rather have every score be the exact same? And also, how are either of us supposed to censor our opinion so that there aren't negative and positive reviews posted on the same day? I didn't like this record. Ian liked that one. I don't see how there's any way, sort of losing any of the opinion that reviews are supposed to have, that we could fix this problem that so unnecessarily plagues you.
