I told Brian that my reviews were all going to be concise and well-thought out. I said I would quit bashing bands unabashedly. I figured that I had gotten to a point where it was just ineffective. People knew what to expect. I was going to wow everyone with reviews that were not inflammatory. Well, let me tell you: no band has ever made me want to go back on my statement more than A Moments Loss. They're a group that "is heavy without resorting to drop tuning or pummeling double bass drumming and emotional with(sic) falling into the post-Thursday cliches that are so prevalent today." I can only guess they meant to say "without falling into," but the way they stated it just fits better than anything I could have written myself in the old days. But a new Jesse has come around. I will not make fun of this band. Well, besides the fact that they claim they create "effects laden soundscapes reminiscent of Sigur Ros or Pink Floyd." I mean, come on. That's just laughable.

This band sent me their CD for review also, but I haven't been able to bring myself around to do it. As for the name, I think they don't mean to be grammatically incorrect (maybe moments is supposed to be plural?) but I don't really feel like giving them the benefit of the doubt. This release is unnecessary, and there is much better out there. i liked these guys better when they were First Things First... Oh, I forgot, my audioscrobbler: Actually, I'm a little bit chunky. Sort of full figured. I had pretty long hair, but I just got it cut shorter, so it's fairly shaggy. I don't really wear Chucks anymore. I have a pair, but now since Nike took over Converse they make them skinnier and I have wide feet. I wear Adidas indoor soccer shoes, Spezials to be exact, because they're really comfortable. I don't wear tight jeans, but I abhor baggy pants. Levi's 501s are a good fit for me, and I wear the same pair of pants everyday. I have a black zip-up hoodie, but I usually only wear it underneath my trendy German officer's coat on cold days. I also wear a black watch cap everyday because I'm too lazy to do anything with my longish hair. I used to wear the same red and black lumberjack flannel shirt everyday, but I got bored of that. In winter I have a black semi-long coat with a big fur lined hood. jesse, what do you look like? i picture you this like uber trendy indie kid with chucks on and a black zipper hoodie with tite jeans and shaggy hair. super cute. super thin. Maybe that insult would have some sort of weight behind it if I wasn't a transvestite. Try again. He was onlytwo years off Jesse, and it's your fault because you act like a little girl. hahahahahaha "nineteen, going on twenty" this score is for sickboi using the term 'wack-attack'. can't get enough of that term. Well, I'm nineteen, going on twenty. And if you look at all the other comments on this album, then you can see that your opinion isn't backed up. It's just like a conservative who watches Fox News – you're not learning anything new if your media source is just reinforcing your established beliefs. Jesse. You are a pompous Jackass. What bands are "preferred" in your skewed vision. If you'll read the other 30 reviews floating around on the internet regarding this album, you'll see A)How to properly write a review, and B) Your ignorant viewpoint is not shared by any other reviewers. Now does this make this band bad or you an utter jackass. I'll place my money on the latter. How old are you by the way. My money's on 17 or so. Idiot Hey, at least hair metal was about partying, scoring and getting fucked up. (fun to some of us) Hey, at least they don't have a weekday/month/season as part of their bandname. Still, this kinda stuff is the new hair metal. Only worse, if that's possible. Why does everyone hate Jesse so much. I get the idea of the band through his reviews. "I scream, you scream, we all scream for...NO SCREAMO!" It's as if you're dumb enough to spell my name wrong even though it's spelled right a few times on this page. jessie, Bahahaha. Shouldn't "Moments" be "Moment's"? wow, i can't believe kids still start bands aiming to sound like this. on a related note, i heard a band on the other day. it was college radio, and i turned to my friend in the car and asked him who this band was. They had shitty lyrics like "slit my wrists and blacken my eyes". That band, was hawthorne heights. And what the fuck is "the forgetting"? Shouldn't "Moments" be "Moment's"? "1/2 star does not count as one star friend" 1/2 star does not count as one star friend No, you got all three. I saw the band name, and album name, and immediately thought: First. |
