It's Simon & Garfunkel's greatest hit. I don't get why a cover version would get so much hate :(

Judging from the length of the text and the quite ok capitalization, this is not a review but a song/album title of a post rock band.

Ah 2003, where track-by-tracks were common, nobody knew how to write, and the best musical description one could come up with is "it's pussy metal."

How have I survived for so long, without a complete Christian thrash collection?

One typo, three capitalisation errors and one punctuation error isn't that much, I bet most regular reviewers have reviews up with similar numbers of errors.

They appear to be reviewing something else... but occasionally bringing up Blackthorn as some kind of example in their unusual analogies. They also seemingly forgot to describe the music.

It's like someone ran an ANUS/DMU review through five languages then back to english in google translate.

The content of the review isn't that remarkable, but the formatting... yes, that's the end of the review as it was submitted.

I believe this user tried to say "James Hetfield or Jason Newsted" xd, whatever, this review is illegible, but somewhat >(somehow)< understandable...

Well, I just rejected my first review.
Image

It seems there is no way to find rejected reviews, so I'll try to recall my rejection message.
Quote:
The submission did not properly follow the guidelines. In order for your review to be accepted, you really need to improve your description of the music. Unfortunately, your review leaves the reader with little to no insight as to what the album actually sounds like - all I see is a brief history about the band. For someone who has never heard of Rhapsody of Fire, this could even be a review for a black metal band. Please read the guidelines carefully next time - in our rules, we have a list of content you should write about in your review.''

Thank you, Grave_Wyrm.

These ''awful submissions'' are actually more common than I had imagined. I thought they were just the odd once a week exception.

I actually know Battle Dagorath very well, and this review was fantastic but Interstellar Lord forgot to do one thing - describe the music. Image
