Once upon a time, I used to sit for hours playing Starcraft. I remember always being Protoss, as they had high-tech weapons, cool yellow armour and generally seemed more organised than the crazy Zerg and quite frankly pathetic Terran. While playing, I often had Windows Media Player running in the background, playing a shuffle on all the music currently on my computer. Within the dozens of albums was Pay Attention, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones 6th full-length album, and also their final fanfare in the world of pop music.

Zerg > Terran > Protoss The Bosstones are pretty amazing. This record is pretty weak, overall though. "Anyone know when Starcraft 2 comes out?" Once I put some firebats in there, my medics were untouchable. The songs on this album rip it up live, as well. There's some really good lyrics and songwriting, especially given the times that the band was going through when this was written. I still think that 1 Million Reasons is Dicky's plea to Kevin, Nate and Dennis not to leave. I can't decide how much i like this album. It's got some killer songs on it, a few that suck, but overall just doesn't do it for me. However, i always kinda liked 1 million reasons. there was blood in my semen this morning after i masturbated I destroyed Rome Total War a long time ago. Irritating as hell when they riot. I fucking hate it when they riot. Fucking riots. "Bah this review sucked. Cut out the five shitty songsand this is their best album. Bah this review sucked. i agree with the dude talking about bomb the industry. that is the best new ska ive heard in a while Dude whatever...Terran kicked ass. Way to be loyal to human kind you traitor. Starcraft used to kick ass until it got lame. I'm too "oldskool" elitist to enjoy this album I guess. I am however going to listen to it again whilst I go play some Rome Total War, so who knows. i love the people who review the review like they're fucking literary agents or something. I'm pretty sure he means it needs to be reviewed. "And the live album needs to be done." They have a live album, 'Live from the Middle East"... And the live album needs to be done. I used to use siege tanks as a defence. No one gives a shit what you used to play. Stop reviewing. this album was just terribly inconsistent. no flow. too long, too all over the place. definately their weakest release, BUT it did have some classics, skeleton song and She just happened are great great songs. there were a few other real solid ones too. finally does drag. 'one million reasons' is horrid. I agree that this is their weakest album, but I still enjoy it. I think the MMB have always put out solid releases, and the skeleton song is so good it makes the rest of the album seem better*even though the demo is better). "Wow, I bailed on this review pretty quickly, what with all that dork talk." someone review the bomb the music industry cd. cmonnnnnnn best ska punk release in awhile. TERRAN, baby. Medics and marines, my friends, medics and marines. Is that the 5th MMB review this year? Still holding out that they'll make an awesome return, but I can't see it happening. For the use of Starcraft in this review - good laughs. Decent album but it should have been shortened to about 12 instead of 16. Score is for Blizzard and what they have done to the once amazing Zerg. a decent record but it's their weakest to date. this review is pretty spot on. It had a lot of potential but was just too damn long in some spots. Good review. I enjoy this album a lot, and agree where the "low points" are except for the fact that I think "Finally" is a great fun song that doesn't get boring. "I Know More" will always be my favorite Bosstones song I knew I'd never hear live. i really liked this album a lot. more than lets face it. and that was to the poster a few posts down. they never officially "broke up" jackass. the skeleton song is in their top five songs of all time The production killed this album. The demo version of the Skeleton Song on the 12" fucking rips. Wow, I bailed on this review pretty quickly, what with all that dork talk. This band has never done anything worth a fuck. I'm so glad they broke up-- except for the fact that their talentless bum of a fatass singer is going on to be the new Ed McMahon or the new Paul Schaeffer or whatever. I hate seeing his ever-widening, fratboy gone 40 face. Fuck that guy. using terran was the most fun. i had so much fun using the ghosts to nuke the zergs. what i would do is attack some of their structures with siege tanks to get it start bleeding so that it would make the red dots from the ghosts harder to find. it also helps when the zergs were red teamed. Starcraft is for jerks and lesbians |
