sorry i keep on adding comments, but brian is one of the good ones. another is (i think) tyler.. at least i think thats his real name. i actually cant think of his username on top of my head

for the record i also hate this band, its not about not agreeing

the reason why i bother to look at the reviews is because occasionally a good legitimate review will come through. I still have the right to point out the bad ones, nothing wrong with some criticism to make this site the best music site on the net rather than another stupid clique

The review makes me want the record..

.. NOT

Mike, you beautiful child of light, c'mere. You're like the lovable, wisecracking Nightcrawler to my cantankerous, memory-wiped Wolverine.

Also you have nice eyes.

So what do you like about me? My dashing good looks and vibrant and youthful spunk. Aw, shucks, just give me a hug.

-Actually, I don't consider this act to be pop-punk, which I stated as such in the review. For a good pop-punk record, check out the new Teenage Bottlerocket release. Or that glowing Bouncing Souls review, which I wrote.

-Just to echo Mike, everyone can write for this site, which is pretty cool. The only reason I even bothered with AVP is because it was mailed to me. I tend to keep my trap shut when it comes to shitty music, because I know someone out there loves this or that, and I'd rather let the site celebrate music than shut it down. Hell, 9/10 of the stuff I dump on was assigned, not chosen, with an exception here or there (I really do like Set Your Goals, and I really was disappointed by their new album). But given that this EP came out last year, I'm not so sure anyone gave much of a darn anyway.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Ya don't like it? Write a cohesive argument for this album's worth and submit it. But if this is the stuff you're willing to get riled up over, I feel sorry for you, because Artist Vs Poet really is a piece of crap. And if you're just trying to get a rise out of me, congrats. You, a person on the Internet, have successfully ticked off someone else on the Internet. You are a winner.

-Not to get all site pride or whatever, because I've never even met any of the staffers (Sloane is probably the member I best know, and she lives in another flipping country), but I generally dig the staff reviews. I love that Brian gets right to the heart of the matter with his reviews, but I also love that Greg's pieces contain virtually every thought he's ever had about a given artist/album and chart his growth with said musician/music. Both guys give me a great conversation about music, just in different ways.

its pathetic that i knew whos review this was before seeing the name. i feel like a lot of the main reviewers on this site just have their own little caricature personality, as if the org has some image to uphold

If you don't like us, ignore or submit your own reviews. You're just a pathetic little troll who isn't douchey enough to be Sydbarret and not funny enough to be eazyd.

with the exception of like 2 people

we get it, pop punk sucks.

you shtick got old a long time ago.

Mikexboobs - I JUST WANT YOU TO LOVE ME.

Jewone - At this point, I'm just fucking with you.

Mike - Dude, like 3/4 of my reviews for this site have been 3 stars or higher. So when I shit all over a record, you best believe I mean it. If it makes you feel any better, I'm running out of new ways to explain my distaste for crappy bar bands, with easycore quickly gaining.

*takes a deep breath* Jelone...

horrible horrible fucking band.

what the hell happened to Fearless? do they have ONE decent band nowadays?
