I see...
 
and have you read my Endstille review???

Friday 20 May 2011 - 02:10:34
I did. I'd rather not Voice my opinion lest I piss you off.

Am I the only one noticing that this thread is basically just me and you jerking each other off over our reviews?

actually i'd like to know what people think of my reviews. They're obviously not the best but i'm still proud of a few of them.

Before I give you feedback, I'd like two things:

a) a link to your reviews cause I'm a Lazy ass
b) critique of my own reviews (link is on previous page)

please and thank you.

This should let you see all of the reviews i've submitted. If you all can't see them, i'll link the individual pages of albums i've reviewed.

As for your reviews, i'm reading your Divine Heresy review and I like it. it's snappy and pretty articulate with what you dislike about the record despite being a bit long. It's a minor quibble though, you're pretty good at reviewing.

First of all, judging by what you've reviewed you have some pretty kickass taste, mostly centered around OSDM and classic thrash. Nice.

Your reviews don't really grab me in one way or another, but your fundamentals in actual musical description are strong enough that I can overlook that. Gives me a good base of what the music sounds like, and usually encourages me to check the material out. Nothing really wrong with them, though there are a lot of other reviewers out there that also meet this standard. You need a gimmick or something

dude... I'm 16 and I live in Australia, I can handle it 0
besides, I don't even like it that much and thats why I'm asking for feedback.
 
@Loudpipes - Altars Of Madness is one of my favourite Death Metal albums, and its good that someone shares my point of view.
 
I think you have done a pretty good job of deconstructing the music components and explaing them. Also, you actually gave detail about the details which is awesome. But like what Enigmatick said, the only way I think you can improve is by adding some "vizaz" to the mix. (yeah I'd like to do that, but I need to check on other things before I attempt to) 0

Dude, you're 16? I legitimately thought you were 13.

Alright, well I wasn't a fan of it. The actual musical description was so vague I probably could have gotten more information by reading the band's genre tag. You basically just said that this and that was "good" instead of saying WHY you thought it was good. I tried to get a picture of what the band sounded like in my Head, and then I listened to them on youtube and it sounded Nothing like what I pictured. It would help if the grammar and Sentence structuring in it wasn't painful to read, as well, and it was wayyy too long for the amount of information you gave- you went over the same points over and over and OVER AGAIN.

tl;dr: You talk so much and say so little. Try to value content over length a little more.

yes, yes... I see
 
I have to admit, it's not one of my best and would have to agree
 
here is another review I wrote, now this is The One that quite a few people liked. (dunno why)

I guess I should post on here since I'm a reviewer and all.
I just put up my review of Autopsy's Macabre Eternal, what do you guys think? (Aside from the album art analogy which I put in there just 'cause I wanted to mention it). 0
