Were you here when that guy's dad signed up to defend him? "Why don't you love me, dad? Is it because I'm a fruitcake?" When was that?

Yeah, I was here... wasn't that a hoax? Back in '05, I believe.
It's hilarious how desperately everybody is being implored to 'JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE"!

This thread is pure gold in entertainment value.

No im not his dad, im a friend who knows what he is trying to say in his review. Because i actually read the review, If i were to review it id give it like a 70ish but i Understand where he came from with the Review, he gave it AOTY because it means alot to the new metal fans out there. its not by any stretch the Album of the year Musically but it helps get metal out there to new listeners. I Mean if you just take em by their image, like most of you are, their gay as FUCK but i mean get past the image and listen to the music, its not that bad, its not Phenomenal but its very listenable. Hey atleast its not that rap shit

I'd say, actually, that every review needs a bit of personal input, because otherwise you end up with this sort of bullshit:

Wiki wrote:

About a month and a half before the record had released, Faye Lewis of Rocksound.tv, gave the record a highly critical review, saying that the title track "Nightmare" was the only highlight, which generated much criticism. Rocksound later issued an apology for the review and took it down from their site. In their letter of apology they said: "Rock Sound recently published a track-by-track guide to the forthcoming Avenged Sevenfold album. We wish to apologize wholeheartedly for any misunderstanding in the article that caused upset to both the band and their fans. This was certainly not our intention and therefore we have removed the piece from the site."[36]

Does anyone have a link to the original rocksound.tv review that was so controversial? I'd love to read it.

Great thread :lol:

On the album, I won't be giving it a listen as I found their other stuff really boring.

What this garbage means to some pubescent who knows nothing about quality metal is completly irrelevant.

By putting the AOTY tag on this he saying this drivel is on the same level as something like Ironbound or Majesty and Decay,which is bullshit.

I wouldn't have a problem with a "surprise of the month" tag,but AOTY is an insult.

Does this mean Slipknot has 4 1/2 months to come out with another Album of the Year?

Now taking bets on who will get the last word:

Reviewer is pretty insistent but I'll have to take Ken for $500.

Well, since he's a reviewer and Ken isn't, I'll take the reviewer.

Ah shit, this is too easy. I quit.

So basically it was given AOTY to get the band some attention?

I'll give him credit, it certainly got our attention and got us talking.

Good heavens, this thread has truly degenerated.

He explained the score bump in the review - it may not have been the best decision, but it's hardly a lie, is it? Ditto for the AOTY tag - it was explained in the review, and assuming that people are intelligent enough to read the review instead of just going "ah, 90, and a picture of a skeleton too! I must order this at once!" I really don't see the problem. I think you're determined to look at this in the worst possible light - I can't see any lies in the review, score, or tag.

He does not think the album is a 90, thus scoring it as such lacks integrity. Tons of people are going to just look at scores. You know this.

And I'm not looking at this in the worst possible light. If you want to be a reviewer, then do it right. Simple as that. Maybe that's lost on you and the others here at MR, but I think it's ridiculous that someone is allowed to rate an album as nearly perfect when he admits to not thinking it's nearly perfect. It's absurd.

I wonder if Tyler will continue to write for MR. Sure is going to be hard with his credibility gone out the window.
