About the Everything's Magic - Anthem Pt 2 riff comparison... who cares?

Here I'll give you something else to complain about...


Listen to the last half of both of these songs:

Box Car Racer - The End With You

Blink-182 - Easy Target


And that doesn't render either one of those to be horrible songs.

What does Tom's appearance on Larry King have to do with the sound of the new cd?

Criticism involves placing yourself within the context of other criticism. Ignoring what everyone else says is not good criticism. Not that Absolute Punk is a monumental think-tank in critical theory but I thought I'd say something.

but on the other hand, it shudnt matter what the review is, ppl will always either disagree and agree with it no matter what. good or bad.

Again, continue to prove me right, and this time I will elaborate.

I agree with you on the bullshit call, moron. But instead of typing like a invalid, ass-clown, why don't you present your argument like you actually know how the home row on a keyboard works. Then you actually have an intelligent conversation about why the review might be bullshit. And, *GASP!*, people might listen to you!

That's a shame. It's probably the best track on the album.

It's not typing like an invalid ass clown. You can read whatever I seem to type just fine, so why do you continue to deliberately criticize the validity of my personal comments? People on here have opinions and they can always be opened to new perspectives of looking at things, but it would be too tiring to try and convince every person on here to listen to me. As far as I'm concerned, I choose quality of meaning over quality of speech. You can have the best grammar of the world, but it wont do you good if that person is a retard anyways. So as I see it, there was nothing wrong with typing like that as long as I got my message across.

I bet ypur one of those hardocre ******s that wears girl pants and bandanas. that shit is so lame, go punch the ground and listen to your shitty music and most of all keep your mouth shut.

fuck you for insulting The Receiving End of Sirens with that retarded comment.

Good review. I actually really like this album a lot but I can understand why a lot of people don't.

Stop posting, you're a fucking idiot.

F*ck you. I have an opinion, it's not like you've never had someone disagree with something you said. Go out in the world, there are plenty of people who will think that you sir, are the idiot. I'm not judging you because I don't know you, but maybe you shouldn't either.

While you can type however you want and people will (most likely) understand you, you won't convince anyone if you type without proper grammar and conventions. You were already doomed because of your username, but the rest made you an easier target.

Yeah, I have an opinion too - it's that you're an idiot.

why does this website constantly gang up on angels and airwaves? tom has probably influenced 90% of the bands that you love and the local bands you play guitar for. the review was a joke ava is a good band

There's a big difference between respecting -- not enjoying -- a band -- not Tom -- for influencing a lot of bands making music today and forcing oneself to enjoy everything he ever puts out.

Your comment basically says that you think we should do the latter, and that the review was a joke for not agreeing with your opinion. I don't follow.

So anyone who has a username signifying something they like or find appealing makes them doomed? If that's the case, there are alot of people doomed on this site. Jeez, is it a crime to like something and then try and voice their opinion. I'm pretty sure you like something that isn't as loved by others, that's the beauty of musical taste.

And if you're suggesting that you think a staff review shouldn't have been posted because someone with less than 200 posts submitted a user review, you obviously don't know how this website works.

I wasn't suggesting that at all. I may have less than 200 posts, but I've also been a member here since 2003. The staff just informed me of a policy of not posting user reviews until after a staff member who already signed on to do one has finished it and posted it. It's no big deal, water under the bridge.

As far as I know, it will get posted with all of the other user reviews when they all get approved at once. I'm not in charge of that section, so I'm not 100% which day of the week that is...I want to say Sunday though...but I could be wrong.
