I rate this comment thread a ten because watching people lambasting strangers with impotent rage...frankly gets me off.

-Ken

This has definately got out of hand. People rate how they feel they want to - fucking deal with it. Jeez.

wait wait wait

did anchors just seriously take a stab at me

are we being serious here

it's cause i don't bang out five reviews a day chock full of silly anecdotes while i contemplate my lack of a life, isn't it

fucking homo

Yes.

I win. That makes the score:

Anonymous 1, Anonymous 0

you win ok. is that what you want to hear. imma go kill myself

i was never talking about how high people rank albums. you just came looking for a fight and were pissed about your bad grades in high school.

Hmm... what we have here is a failure to communicate. I was under the impression that I made a comment regarding how high this album was ranked and made a general comment, which you jumped on. And obviously you missed the metaphor about school, because I was saying that I got phenomenal grades in high school when I shouldn't have. Same as in college. People are happy when you show up and complete what was asked of you, which I find rather frustrating. I think people could stand to be a little more critical and demanding.

i was never talking about how high people rank albums. you just came looking for a fight and were pissed about your bad grades in high school.

so basically, with that last couple of lines, you stated my point, this WHOLE fucking time. and you chose to argue anyway because you are a dumbass? i guess so. way to write a huge paragraph insulting me only to come to the same conclusion as i did. i'm sorry you're so pissed that others were getting As in school and you never did, so you went on a crusade against them

I didn't state your point. You can't seem to understand the concept. The huge paragraph wasn't insulting you, just the first and second to last lines. It wasn't your conclusion to begin with, foolio. And if you were paying attention and understand the grading argument, you'd realize that your last sentence is way off-base.

Why are you so hateful? Because I said that people shouldn't rank albums as high as they do? That's basically all I have said.

Adam, I think everyone invloved recognizes that point. The many anonymous's all seem to be clear on that.

Kids, kids, kids... recognise that any sort of quantitative rating of music is inherently silly and unimportant. It's not something you should worry about.

But if I must...

4.5 out of 5 is the same thing as 9 out of 10. It's also the same thing as 2700 out of 3000. Hell, it's the same thing as 39 038 890.5 out of 43 376 545. We just use the smaller denominations because they're more general. The bigger numbers you use, the more pointless nit-picking you get.

-adam

i hate it when people write those long boring rants to prove their point...i have ADD so i'm not about to read any of that shit....call the person a douche and be done with it

hey mongoloid, i am well aware that the unit of measurement on this site is a half star. i am the one who explained it down below and can recall the initial discussions surrounding the peculiar star system. and despite being a vacuous dumptruck, you seem to have grasped my general point that the curve needs to be negatively recentered. why is it so ridiculous? i think that there is a tendency to rate albums too high (on average about two stars too high) and this tendency clouds the reality of the situation. it's like in school, an A should rarely be given and only to the truly exceptional paper rich with such qualities as originality, knowledge, relevance and clarity of expression. You know, papers that show a clear mastery of the subject; defend a thesis and arrive at a thoughtful conclusion; effectively recognize the complexity of the topic; contain strong supporting details and demonstrate a responsible and judicious use of evidence; be logically developed and very well organized; use a tone appropriate to the desired response; show stylistic maturity, e.g., through sentence variety and paragraph development; and be virtually free of typographical and usage errors, such as poor grammar and misspellings. Instead, it's assbags like you who think that just because something is pretty solid it needs to be praised. A 5 is a decent score for an album. A 9 or 10 is goddamn incredible. 7 is great. 8 excellent. 6 pretty darned good. Etc. Go fuck yourself. I love you.

listen dipshit. way to avoid everything i said. you do understand that a 5 on this site is 2 and a half stars, dont you? so my saying a 5 is average at best is saying the 2 and a half stars is average at best. now if a record is scored at a 5 you think thats too hich? and should be dropped to a 3 (1 and a half stars)? you clearly have no idea what youre talking about

It has nothing to do with "reading comprehension," assbag. It has everything to do with general conceptions of scale. People could pretty much drop all of their review scores by two and it would be more realistic in terms of the albums and in terms of helping to fairly assess the music scene.

look you fucking moron. how is calling a five out of ten average considered "patting people on the back" and how is that inflated? maybe if you had any reading comprehension whatsoever, you wouldnt make such stupid comments

My Score:

This band is better than 90% of the shit out there today. Everybody is a fucking critic these days.

*average at best mind you, you dunce

Well... you just have an inflated notion of numbers and scores. You're a candyass who likes to pat people on the back. We need to recenter the means in order to be more thorough and evaluative in our reviews and standards. There is a much broader range from absolute shit to flawless masterpiece.

"what the fuck. a four or five is mediocre, no ifs ands or buts about it....five out of ten can be viewed as average at best"

Uh...dude this website is scored out of five, not ten, so four/five out of five is pretty damn good

It's scored out of ten. Each unit is a half-star.

A half star counts as one, a whole star as two, and so on. So, 4.5 stars is a nine.

Check the options for giving an album a score when you post in the reviews section.

My Score:

If good music was a dick that was slapping you in the face, you probably still wouldn't notice it. I only say this because you use the word unique, where the word shitty should be.

Oh, and you also gave the Starting Line a 4 out of 5.

a four or five should be pretty good?

what the fuck. a four or five is mediocre, no ifs ands or buts about it....five out of ten can be viewed as average at best

I gave it what I thought it rightfully deserved.

Giving an album a score I don't think it deserves is Absolutepunk territory.

I don't know. It seems inflated. A four or a five should be pretty good. A ten should be not just a truly excellent album, but an absolutely flawless masterpiece. Nine just seems way too high.

hold me closer tony danza

My Score:

good band...but they should do more goofy parts like in cliff burton where they start playing a guns and roses song then go all crazy. you definitely have to be in a certain "mood" to listen to this stuff unless your really into tech-metal.

Anyone who says 2005 hasn't been a good year for hardcore releases doesn't have their head screwed on correctly.

I guess it should be expected, though, from somebody who jerks off to The #12 Looks Like You.

A nine?!?!?

I thought staff writers were supposed to be a bit more reasonable.

I gave it what I thought it rightfully deserved.

im not so into this music on cd, but i saw these guys live and they fucking slayed.
plus half the band is originally from my hometown, so i got a kindred spirit feeling goin on.

Alright Swingline settle down, this cd is pretty sweet, and so is some of the other stuff Sally Field has got me into. Go listen to Loftus and say that again. Biatch - it's just not ur style, it doesn't mean this person has no taste in music (or horrible, as you described). But yeah this band is pretty damn good.

My Score:

Who knew that the kid on Who's the Boss? was going to grow up to be gay? I did. When he was getting near the pre-teens, you could tell he had that "cock" glare.

For real. In all the later episodes you can see he just wants to lean over to Tony and be like, "Dude I totally want to toss your salad".
And yet, he probably got to see Alyssa Milano naked...No justice I tell ya.
-Dante
P.S. Score is for having non-Alyssa Milano former members of Who's the Boss toss your salad, especially Mona...YUCK!

Posted by RondoMondo on 2005-11-11 13:39:38
My Score:

They're not in the same vein as Ed Gein. Ed Gein is so much crazier than this band, but TDTDE is a good band in their own right. Just not one of the best.

A staff writer can make such ridiculous statements as the one this review concludes with? Jeez. Who polices the police, you know?

It would have been funnier if you said "along the Ed Gein vein."

And everyone knows that Tony Danza was a boxer, thus refuting its status as a "little known fact"

i bet they were so stoked when the thought up of that band name.
now, they are kicking themselves, guaranteed.

who cares about your shitty little band you dumb fuck?

ignore the score. sally field has horrible taste in music.

Who's the Boss is on as we speak and i gotta ask; why the fuck did they keep going so long after Tony and Angelarrrr hooked up. it's so awful after that. stupid shark-jumping.

"Tony Danza is also a racist, ignorant bastard according to that movie Crash.

Good album. Got kinda boring after a few spins though."

Crash was excellent. As for this, I've heard some good things, so I'll have to give it a spin.

there's not a fucking snowball's chance in hell that this is a nine

six at BEST, it gets completely boring and monotonous as it goes on

but the intro, where they are like a hair metal band and then turn into themselves, is so cool

but i'm disappointed in this cd, more lackluster hardcore music for 2005
