My Score:

woops, i thought i gave the turbonegro album 4 stars

I thought you were...but at the same time I wasnt sure if you was being a sarcastic bastard. You can never tell anymore.

oh well.

good review. good band. but i like F-Minus better.

-!GreenVandal!

I know. That was serious. I wasn't being facetious.

Actually....F-Minus IS killer. I love that band.

-!GreenVandal!

OK, feel free to run my review of the Snuff greatest hits/b-sides collection:

6 stars
"Are you fucking kidding me? You don't own this? Fucking dumbass.."

Bam.

Dude…F-Minus is killer.

Hah, oops. I just figured, you know, in my stupidity, that someone at Punknews would have gotten an album to review.....it being Punknews and all...maybe I will.

Well, considering the Unseen is the only band on Hellcat I like, I would certainly love to review it (*coughcough*) if it got sent to me instead of DKM promos I mindlessly forward to Kirby.

hey mercedes...more like....bye mercedes HAHAH!! actually I've never listened to the band so I guess it sucks for their fans that theyre callin it a day

what good is having wayne gretzky as your coach when there arent gonna be games for him to coach in?

I know there is a big difference. That's why I separated them in my review. Although Loses Control is highly underrated.

Jesse, theres a BIG difference between labeling songs Loses Control b sides vs. Everynight Fireworks b sides.

Loses Control was a big pile of shit....Everynight Fireworks was brilliant.

Just found this on the City On Film blog:

http://www.heymercedes.com/cityonfilm.html

Bob does a better job of explaining the album than I could have ever done.

The label was created by Bob and Todd way back when to release Braid stuff. And in response to this:

score is for reviewers who check back every day to see what people have said about their reviews and then defend themselves.

grow some balls and have some confidence in your opinions and writings, jesse!

I don't check everyday, I check multiple times a day. I'm an internet geek, tried and true. I don't check back so I can defend myself; I check back to answer questions, and provide useful information. Of course, no one asks real questions, so all I end up doing is arguing viciously until I make fun of the person arguing with me for getting so into an internet battle that we become friends. Honestly. It's happened with BSD and Anchors. And others.

Oh wait, I forgot this was Punknews. What I really meant to say was:

go suk ad ick you homofagopolis! Ur soooo gay an du don't Even Knoe it!!!1

Score's for Wayne Gretzky taking the job as the head coach of the Coyotes.
Wow, awesome.

I've never heard of the label this is on. Ever. What kind of distrobution do they get, because I'm interested in picking this up.

This label is run by the Hey Mercedes bass player Todd Bell. They don't get that great of distrobution if you want the CD you'll have to order it from their site.

i'm not a 'kid'. i'm probably older than you, in fact.
and yes, please put the review up and let everyone shit-talk it without the reviewer's comments/defenses.

that way, if anyone thinks they could do a better job, they can submit their own review!

Probably, probably, and yes.

is it the same 'roulette systems' from the vagrant comp? and isn't 'warm chords' on itunes? and also doesn't bob use that same 'waking the dead' clip on 'lost my lights?'

the movie is "waking the dead" (not "wake") and it's pretty decent... go watch it now!

I miss these guys already

all of the songs were loses control b-sides, not everynight fire works b-sides.

No shit! Really? I figured they just saved two songs for about four years. Or maybe you should actually try reading my review, where I stated that all the songs were either Loses Control B-sides or written after that album.

Maybe someone should write it first, so we, you know, actually have one to post.

My Score:

I get that same "obvious B-side" feel for the second track - you can really tell it came straight from the Loses Control sessions. It's also ridiculously catchy.

Despite the understandably inconsistent production/mixing sound on this, it's quite good.

Damnit, when are my turbonegro and snuff reviews gonna be posted?

Maybe soon. We're just always hesitant on posting 10-scored reviews, if just for your sake in the likely ensuing comments.

What do these guys sound like?

hey mercedes was really good and it's too bad they broke up. that's all i've got.

I think this review can put the Jesse haters to rest. You could actually feel the melancholy in it. Good job.

boring

Their last show occurred around the same time as their last EP. If it was any sort of band that you loved that was breaking out and releasing their last EP, I'm sure you would have wanted the reviews. By the way, the reviews were actually 3 weeks apart.

My Score:

Worth it just for "Roulette Systems," the best song in this band's catalog. This score's for that song.
