the production is fantastic, sometimes Geoff is hard to hear but that's because they were going to for that vibe on that track. The production really brings out how rich musically this album is. It's encompassing.

I think they found the perfect balance this time.

all reviews are biased, idiot

the user review scores don't mean shit here cause no one in this thread has heard it.

you are so off based here it's hilarious. Geoff has to work at a second job when they aren't touring because they don't make that much money.

The score is meant to represent that this album is absolutely incredible and worth your time, it's not suppose to represent 'oh man only 2% away from perfection!', cuz that's not how I do my ratings.

Please..

I don't remember writing that in my review?

A lot of swings and misses in here.

Reviews aren't relative to everything else in the universe: he's giving a rating based on his evaluation of a record. If I got a 100% on a writing assignment, it doesn't mean no one else ever can get that high again or that if someone else gets a 100%, that they wrote the exact same paper as me.

The only way to fix the issue is to disable comments on reviews. If people want to say something about the rating or feel it's unfair, they can listen to the album and write their own review and post it on their blog or website or submit it to the user reviews on this site.

I don't get it, no one has even heard this record. Why does someone saying it's amazing have such a negative effect? You should be EXCITED someone liked an album this much and look forward to hearing it so you can formulate your own opinion on it...that's the point of a positive review.

I could kiss you on the mouth right now.
