I haven't slept in roughly 32 hours, due to massive amounts of work due for my senior research paper due in a few weeks. If I do poorly on this project, I more or less won't graduate, so it's of utmost importance that I work my ass off with what little time I have left to make it the best I possibly can.

Nice first album ! Ok some of you don't like billy talent thats fine then don't but i say bily talent fucking kicks ass :) so screw you people who do not like billy talent we seem to me doing fine without you "billy talent sux they got no talent and should call it quits cuz no one likes them" i didn't see this coming from scott Ok first thing, Canada kicks Americas ass SOOOOO much. America sucks balls. This album was amazing. Billy Talent is awsome. AMERICA IS GAY!!!! Billy Talent rules. it's sweet that they are on this year's warped tour. The River Below is sick. billy talent sux they got no talent and should call it quits cuz no one likes them This album fucking rules. Their songs is full of energy a plus you never get teird of it. When I first got it I never stop playing it becuase it is so good. These guys are not posers or anything like that. If you don't have the album get it. This is a really good record Pretty frickin sweet CD I must say. Very enjoyable. i love this band even more now i like their song "line&sinker" so much the singer has an awesome voice !! i I could not stop listening to this cd...so I memorized a lot of it so I could play it over in my head during school. I'm listening to it now. Fuckin awesome stuff. Billy Talent rocks! So does Canada! That is why I live here! billy talent kicks major ass.....i love them!!!.....i listen to their cd alot..even my 48 year old dad likes them!!!!come on thats gotta tell you something cause this man has been partying since the day he could and he knows alot of great shit and if he has the billy talent cd in his truck and knows most of the words.....well...then ...... This Record is the best punk record ever! I've listen to punk since billy idol but billy talent really kick ass! Now the the initial buzz has worn down, let me say this: this is for all the haters out there whou gave this album anything less that a 7, ur a fucking idiot they can rock!! but some songs are more fillers than killers. but a good record i've just a word to say : Pat Jablonski You gotta give props to this band for bringing out real punk rock to crappy mainstream music. Billy Talent are fuckin awesome. For some reason I really dig this cd. DUDE! Truly a great album. i hope these guys stick around for a while if this album gets some kids who have been raised by the family television, and the rest of america's bullshit pop culture, thinking critically about even a few socio-political issues, then good on billy talent. This is pretty good... I bought it before Feb. vacation and it made me happy. The lyrics aren't as deep as I'd like them though. I think this is a homework disk for the whole time I'm in middle/high school speaking of when the canucks made it to the finals....how about that pavel bure penalty shot eh? "...and as much as I love the Pens (I still do... Koltsov for rookie of the year!) I gotta say, I loved the Naslund for Stoyanov trade. Almost made up for us trading Neely for next to nothing..." I don't get where everyone is getting this Billy Talent sounding like The Living End I remember that save... The Pens have been my favorite team since I was just a wee lad, but in these parts, we call Kirk McLean's save on Robert Reichel (then of Calgary) in game 7, overtime round 1, the year the Canucks went to the final, "the save". Now don't get me wrongz Billy Talentis a great band and all but im sorry im a huge fan of the Dead Kennedys and uh Benjamin's vocals don't come close to Jello Biafra's. You should get some sleep Scott and listen to them once more. And it felt goooooooood. bsd just called scott a negroid... Shut up negroid. "ethnography is the study and systematic recording of human cultures or a descriptive work derived thereform...how are you relating or describing a systematic recording of human cultures about punk rock??...uh oh, somebody better find a new topic!!!" this string of comments makes me want to cry and go back to when i was 10 and played hockey every day all day. Pietrangelo made what is referred to as "the save". Big time glove save in the playoffs. The man with 3 first names (they always called him that on Sportspage here in BC)- Frank Pietrangelo (sp?). Old pens backup to Barrasso, which is a pretty sweet name itself... Vincent Riendeu (sp?) was the man for a brief period of time. hi we're bill talentless...and we like to copy the living end!! ethnography is the study and systematic recording of human cultures or a descriptive work derived thereform...how are you relating or describing a systematic recording of human cultures about punk rock??...uh oh, somebody better find a new topic!!! Yeah, whats up with the counter Scott? This has only been read 89 times....HAHAHAHAHAH. I somehow find that hard to believe.. Rick Tabaracci. what more do i have to say? the reason he did shit when he was w/the rangers was A. he was coming off a near carreer-ending injury when he went face first into the ice shattering the bones of his face, he went into the ice unconscious after checking someone in the corner; he was never the same and kevin stevens did shit when he was with rangers, only thing he did notable there was snort coke off a hooker's ass crack. "Is everybody forgeting the man with three first names? I know you know this one forty." someone better tell me who else was on the crazy 8's line, i swear it was renberg but i know i'm wrong. was it reichel? gratton? fuck! tell me! yea mario does play w/ a bunch of stiffs, its sad when i go to games and people are like 'cmon mario, what hte fuck' when its like, yo , he's fucking 38 plahying w/ highschool players, he's not gonna get 50 goals like that. Brent Fedyk. I don't really think Lindros fucking Brind Amours wife was why he was traded... but that's another story. This band is an audio suppository. Any and all attemps to like this band should be met with violent resistance. I could go for a Tim Hortons or two. He used to sign my pay checks when I worked at Wendy's. This score is for the comments on this review going from fighting about Billy Talent to fighting about Canada vs. the US in general, to Hockey talk. Maybe now we'll have Tim Hortons in the Burgh. That would be sweet. P P FUCKING S I spent all the money I had as a grubby youngster on fucking hockey cards and those stickers. They were as good back then as listening to the BRONX is now (GILBY FUCKING CLARK baby!) You can only have so many Basil Macrae's out there before Hockey gets boring. Hey to the dude who posted below about Randy Carlyle and shit (I HAD A CANUCK TEAR OF JOY IN MY FUCKING EYEBALL) More like Billy No Talent...Yeah, I got nothing. I'm taking Mario too, because I'm from the 'Burgh. Gino's fights: http://www.hockeyfights.com/player.asp?pid=21 Gino Odjick! hockeydb.com is awesome. When they have hockey trivia on CTV, I always go there for the stats. The Crazy 8 line from Philly was sweet, but it wasn't Renberg, as he was #19, though wew was one the Legion of Doom line with Lindros and LeClair. Then Lindros had to go fuck around with Rod Brind'Amour's wife, causing him to get traded and ruining his career. Man, Lindros needs another concussion bad... BOOOO!!! Billy Talent proves that most artist from Canada sucks. Sure theres like 3 or 4 good bands from Canada but most of them suck. Billy Talent has no talent and comes across sounding like a harder Simple Plan. Simple Plan eats ass. i say from now on, any time an album that no one really cares about is reviewed, we just start talking about hockey instead of shit talking each other. Pelle Lindberg Suck on these This record rocks. Fuck the haters. Jimmy Waite I could always break out my NHL Pro Set cards and go through the sheets. Man those cards sucked. Upper Deck Collector's Choice was the shit.
Scott, hockey is a force that cannot be resisted, just give in! What the hell is going on in this thread? Hmmm... Two words.... Gary Leeman i agree that gretzky was too respected but as a pittsburgh native i also know that lemieux is respected to and isnt hit as much as other players. however, lemieux is also 6'4'' and has snapped and kicked some ass in his day too. another major difference why mario is better than gretz is that mario did not have the supporting cast gretzky did for most of his carreer. yea the 92-97 pens were sick, but from 84-89 he played w/ god awful players on his line, unlike gretzky who had like messier and kurri for alot of his carreer. Fes, not Fez. Foreign Exchange Student. Anyone wonder what kind if career gretsky would have had, if he would have been hitted and hooked like a regular player? And anyone wonder what kind of career Lemieux would have had if he had been "respected" as Gretsky on the ice? One of these days I'm definately gonna get an old school Harold Snepts Canucks jersey with the V. hey no cheating on the trivia! but yea it was brett hull. NOW the big question More than one of the guys in this band look like Fez from That 70s Show (yknow, as opposed to all the other famous Fezes) making different faces. I'd have to say Brett Hull with that trivia answer below there, he had 86 in 1990-1991. If anyone is looking for a great hockey website check out www.hockeydb.com {Amazing like Billy Talent live!} Nice work destroying the scene, that is a good question. Plus Link Gaetz and Darren Puppa those are classic. One of my all time favorites that I totally forgot about is Mike Foligino Trivia-who had the most goals by a right winger in 1 season ? hint-he still plays in the league, he set the record in either 89 or 90 actually i believe the drinking age skips province to province.. 19 in ontario, 18 in manitoba, 19 in saskatchewan, 18 in alberta, 19 in BC... 18 in quebec, 19 in new brunswick, and nova scotia and newfoundland.. well i don't think they give a flying fuck how old you are as long as you are drunk. Does anyoen else think the guitarist looks like claudio sanchez with an equally weird and mezmeroizing hairdo Whats with the guitar player's huge/gay Static-X hair?? My rmates and I honestly play EA sports NHL on Genesis from time to time 94,95,and 96. Its great. My one rmate tried to get me a Winnipeg Jets Jersey. One drunken night we also did a google search after smoking about 8 bong loads and CONSTANTLY mentioning Moe Mantha TO A FUCKING ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE...great times. Other laugh generators were the aformentions in this threat like "Zalapski, Kordic whoa I fucking forgot about my hockey post below there. Damn I could talk Ol skool all fucking day. Take that Allan Bester AND...Darren Pang The first song on the new get up kids "guilt show" is going to make anyone who loved "Something to Write Home About" Jizz I dig this record. speaking of pure crap... this album is pure crap. So overproduced. There's like 8,000 overdubs for that one guitar. Pure crap... Does anyone remember when Gary Roberts cried on the ice?? mike ruutuu! jason weimer! paul ranheim! worst hockey player ever? Dale Hunter. I know from experience, ie: he was at a bar in London, grabbed a bunch of girls asses, so he got his fucking ass kicked by me. Word! I love this album.. and they were great live when I saw them. It's nice to see a band display energy on stage - and they played every track except for the last two And Roenick is one ugly motherfucker, but I guess numerous sticks to the face will do that to ya! the 50 and 200 are: 50 Goals and 200 minutes in penalties Per Djoos was no Tommy Sjodin. Forty minutes west you know your hockey shit like I would have totally forgot about some of those great names. That's awesome your a big fan of Beukeboom like I am. Here's a great hockey trivia question one of my buddies asked me the other nite. I couldn't believe how he stumped a group of my hockey mad friends like he did My favorite hockey name will always be Who gives a shit about all of you hating this record because Billy Talen get airplay or good promotion ... if you pretend to hate it, go out and buy some stuff nobody ever heard of and enjoy it all alone in your room, don`t ever tell anyone about the band/record you`ve just bought and hope the band breaks up so you can sell it as a collector item on ebay ... what I´m talking about is, that all you haters out there are so busy playing the role of the cool punkrock kiddy that you can`t even recognize a good record if it`s in front of you, just because you would have to admit that you like something that`s not entirely "punk" in your book ... please do me a favour and play your childhood games somewhere else ... this record beats most of the other releases in 2003 by far ... What about Jock Callander? Didn't he set some IHL record? Bester is good but he couldn't carry Mike Palmateer's jock to the rink. Or even Mike Liut's for that matter.
Beukeboom is one of my all time favorites. I picked number 7 for Joe Mullen when I played, but my second choice was 23 for good ol' Beuks. I love all the old hockey references, there is some great players being mentioned in there. Here's some that I thought of from some other team's that were money players: Is Jim Paek anchoring the defence on that team, because he is awesome. Wonder if he is in Korea now teaching kids to play hockey or something like that. Haha, I unlocked the '92 Pens in ESPN Hockey 2k4, but they have the wrong jerseys. What's up with that? 1992 Stanley Cup Penguin's Roster: Billy talent? oh i didnt know these were supposed to be obscure penguins. well, how about alec stojanov? we traded marcus nasland for him in 97, one of the worst trades in pens history. alec no longer is in the league. nasland leads it in scoring today, and almost one the title last year. Dude, Kevin Stevens is a god among little children. the best there was i disagree. kevin stevens was a coke head and got caught w/ a hooker and reportedly would drink in the locker room (w/ many other of the 91 stanley cup winning pens), but managed several 50 goal seasons and was a great power forward. lets go pens! Alright my Harold Snepsts props is still holding strong but I'm gonna through you all a new one to chew on. hahah, i'm from pittsburgh. yea tibbets was fucked up. it was great how mario used to defend him in interveiews like "he's come a long way, hes overcome many obstacles", like its an accomplishment to have made through a statutory rape charge etc. hey and we beat philly the other night ahahahhaa. i went to highschool w/ ryan malone and my friend trace played on a line w/ him in 97 USCHS actually i believe the drinking age skips province to province.. 19 in ontario, 18 in manitoba, 19 in saskatchewan, 18 in alberta, 19 in BC... 18 in quebec, 19 in new brunswick, and nova scotia and newfoundland.. well i don't think they give a flying fuck how old you are as long as you are drunk. are they really that terrible live? i refuse to belive it but since i've seen over 50 people say it i might have to belive it..i really really like the cd, it's a fresh breath of air from all the fucking indie crap. "Fuck with Canada and you fuck with D.O.A.... " Who gives a shit about all of you hating this record because Billy Talen get airplay or good promotion ... if you pretend to hate it, go out and buy some stuff nobody ever heard of and enjoy it all alone in your room, don`t ever tell anyone about the band/record you`ve just bought and hope the band breaks up so you can sell it as a collector item on ebay ... what I´m talking about is, that all you haters out there are so busy playing the role of the cool punkrock kiddy that you can`t even recognize a good record if it`s in front of you, just because you would have to admit that you like something that`s not entirely "punk" in your book ... please do me a favour and play your childhood games somewhere else ... this record beats most of the other releases in 2003 by far ... "Fuck with Canada and you fuck with D.O.A.... " Tikkanen was gritty, but Francois Leroux beat his ass. The Pens could use Leroux right about now. You cannot possibly compare any of this bullshit to Jello Biafra. Seriously, that was some pure bullshit. Billy Talent sucks ass and if they were next to me, I'd tell them that. Yeah, I've only heard "Try Honesty" and it's pretty catchy. But I'm digging the obscure hockey references ... but the world needs more Esa Tikkanen's! That fucker was sweet ... I'll be sure to pick this one up tomorrow. Fuck with Canada and you fuck with D.O.A.... at least canada isn't involved in a bullshit war for oil. "Billy Tibbetts played D for the Pittsburgh Penguins no? Thats hilarious. This one goes out to Moe Mantha and the Winnipeg Jets, and a special shout out to the Hartford Whalers circa 1991" Fuck with Canada and you fuck with D.O.A.... "Oh, and I'm totally reviewing The Darkness' album." |
