When I read it I had the suspicion that he reviewed the leaked promo rather than the final version of the album.

I just thought it was weird that he took off 90 points for the drums being bad or whatever.

Come on.

I agree:

"This is one of the fastest songs of all time!" The drumming is insane." "Those riffs are played so damn fast!" "Best song Overkill has ever made"

Whatever!

Review for Hate Eternal's Conquering the Throne

Snxke wrote:
ROOOOOOOOOAAARRR!!!! - 75%
Written by Snxke on May 27th, 2003


BLLLLARRRGGG. ROOOOOARRRR. ARRRRGGGH!!! (Cue violent blastbeats and light speed guitarwork.)

This is about the best description of the CD. It's technically impressive and heavily violent but it's far from fun. This CD is seriously the most violent CD in my currentl listening ring.

The problem is that all melodies are lost to a grind-ish brutality which makes the CD violent but lacking in memorable ideas. I think the CD could have been 18x better with a new mix and some new guitar melodies added to the mix.

It's an "ok" first step, but hardly a world shattering event. There isn't much to latch on too mentally but blasting and more blasting.

Someone needs to sit this guy down and have a talk with him letting him know that the Metal Archives' review system is not a comment board where he can leave his half-formed opinions.

Snxke's reviews are great- short, enthusiastic and refreshingly free from pretension. Obviously that's a very short review, but there's still enough music description there imo. I've never heard any Hate Eternal, but from that review it's easy enough to tell what they sound like.

..It's also worth remembering that most snxke reviews were written when MA was young and I think review standards were a lot lower then.

Look at the submit dates on his reviews. The standards haven't always been as high as they are now.

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times

http://metal-archives.com/review.php?id=919#170

Quote:
An album you simply cannot hate - 95%
Written by HawkMoon on September 10th, 2002

Already by the time of 'Gothic', Paradise Lost showed they were a band to count on. Jump 4 years forward, and they've perfected the sound totally. Nick never growls here, instead he ranges from his regular clean voice (at calmer moments) to one of the most convincing metal-shouts I've ever heard, way to go Nick!

Musically this is melodic, slow to mid-tempo metal which never (and then I really mean NEVER) sounds wrong or bad in any way. Simply a perfect, masterful album that makes it into my top-ten of all time. A piece of treasure for every metal fan.

I didn't notice that before, fair enough. That explains a lot.

Ultraboris' review of Yngwie Malmsteem's eclipse:

UltraBoris wrote:
ONE good song - 37%
Written by UltraBoris on December 1st, 2002

So this contains maybe the greatest commercial song that Yngwie has ever done... in fact, the ONLY good commercial song Yngwie has ever done. And then a lot of random forgettable crap.

"Making Love" rules. It really does. It's a nice little song with some great atmosphere and of course you cannot contest the validity of the lead guitar. Then the rest... "Bedroom Eyes" is okay, as is "Judas", and "Eclipse" has some great soloing, but for the most part you are really led to wonder "what are you DOING!?? Play a SONG already!!"

Really, this is Yngwie attempting to be Winger most of the time. Horrible.


I didn't get any musical description from this, apart from one song having some great atmosphere and great soloing. I make forum posts that are longer than this crap.

A long-overdue cleaning completed. However, everything that was suggested did not get the sickle. I sense a bit of over-eagerness here, so please, people, hold your horses. Bad reviews will go, but mediocre ones are often just that: mediocre, not nukeworthy.

I don't know if this counts but a review of Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis's Aromatica Germenexcitación En Orgías De Viscosa Y Amarga Putrefación album is identical to an official review on another website.

Link.



I don't know why this was accepted to begin with as he starts the review mid-sentence.

(link to review here.)
Well, technically, it appears to be the same user, so it would be acceptable in both places, but since the copy here starts mid-sentence; well, it should be removed.

I did a while back, I think the other 4 have already been deleted. The review for the first Strapping Young Lad album and the one for Helloween's Chameleon were also in there I think.

Here's a crappy review of Suicidal Tendencies "Suicidal For Life"

http://www.metal-archives.com/review.php?id=3063

FUCK! - 25%
Written by chaossphere on September 25th, 2003

Wow, this fucking album has a lot of fucking swearing on it. Every fucking one of the first fucking six tracks has the word fuck in the fucking title. The first song is just fucking Mike fucking Muir fucking telling us what he fucking thinks about fucking whatever, then the first song starts and he fucking tells us repeatedly that he fucking doesn't give a fuck, doesn't give a shit, ad fucking nauseam. The actual fucking music is typical fucking Suicidal fucking Tendencies fare, except this fucking time Robert fucking Trujillo's fucking funky bass is way too fucking prominent and it fucking sounds like Red fucking Hot Chili Peppers except a fucking bit more metal. The fucking drumming is also quite fucking "groovy", not thrashy at all. Did I mention that this album has so much fucking profanity on it it would make fucking Snoop Doggy Dog blush? I fucking did, didn't I? Fuck.

The only standouts here are "What You Need's A Friend", which has crappy verses but a fairly decent chorus riff, and isn't drowned in constant swearing and stupid funky basslines. "Evil" is something of a ballad and "Suicyco Muthafucka" (FUCK!) thrashes it up a bit. Otherwise, it's just fuck this fuck that fucking fucker motherfucker fucking fuck with stupid funky basslines causing much of the music to become borderline mallcore.

Also, they say fuck a lot. Don't buy this, or even download it. I got the CD for free and I want my 45 minutes back. Fucker.

Ha ha, it's so clever, like the people who answer Myspace bulletins that ask you if you swear by saying 'Fuck yes!' Really, this is some rapier-like wit.

Quote:

The high expectations have been fulfilled - 100%
Written by Bracher on November 29th, 2006

The expectations placed in Darkspace’s second album were very high after the godlike debut. To be honest: at least my expectations were so high, that only another masterpiece could fulfil them. What can I say… They managed somehow to create a successor that is equal in genius, atmosphere and danger of addiction to the debut.

But two things have changed:

1.) The speed

“2.8” starts similar to “1.1” on the first CD: 2:30 minutes of ambient sounds. But then there are no brain-squashing riffs and drums. It continuous in mid-tempo until about 16 minutes. Only then the speed gets faster like we know it from “Dark Space I”.
“2.9” is even slower! At first I was a little bit disappointed by this one. It’s a more than 10 minute long ambient song with only a sample of a female speech (at ~5:50). The only thing that gives some sort of rhythm is a very hard distorted guitar with chorus (at least I expect it to be a guitar…). But it’s (like already mentioned) very slow: about 6 bpm. So you know what expects you. Like I’ve written, I was a little bit disappointed about this song because it’s has no changes in it. But after I’ve listened to it several times, it has become more and more interesting to me. Ironically because of it’s monotony.
“2.10” is faster again like we know it from their first release. This song remembers me very strong of Paysage d’Hiver (Wroth’s alias Wintherr’s other project).

2.) The length of the tracks

You may be a little bit confused when you look at the track list. The whole album contains only 3 songs. But they last about an hour anyway altogether. Unlike the songs on “Dark Space I” they last longer than 20 minutes (except “2.9” with 10:21 minutes) on this album. That’s an advantage because it gives you more time to dive into Darkspace’s cruel, cold and void dimension.

In summary it may be said that Darkspace created another milestone in Black Metal history. This release is unrivalled. Only “Dark Space I” is a competitor to this masterpiece!


Wow, the speed has changed a bit and the tracks are a little bit longer.

Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos

A step farther from brutality, but good nontheless - 85%
Written by PsyKoCracker on March 8th, 2003

This review is mostly in response to people who say "omg, they lightened their sound!!! NU METAL!!! I'll give them a 20%"

Soilwork indeed got much lighter, but IMHO, this was a step in the right direction. Back in the APP and CHM era, they were just another melo death band out there. With NBC they seem to form their own sound. Just because a band lightens their sound doesnt automatically mean that it sucks, or that they are selling out.

So I advise you to use your judgement and start liking music because it sounds good, not try to make yourself look 1337 by using the "They got lighter so they suck" rule.

To those who have not heard Soilwork, in this era they are melodic death with a mix of clean vox. It's comparable in ways to In Flames in the Clayman era, but much better IMO.

Give NBC a try, and then decide for yourself whether this was a step in the right, or wrong direction.


12 reviews for that album already, although today this probably wouldn't even be accepted as the sole one.

I love how the guy says this.

These three songs make a subpar album slightly better than subpar.


And then gives it 90%.

Hey I think you guys should nuke this review because it is not accurate as the writer is comparing an Autopsy tribute band(a band that has the same playing style as Autopsy, eg doom riffs, and is meant to put more emphasis on making the songs sound slow and sound like oldschool Autopsy) to Six Feet Under and Cannibal Corpse which is unfair, because it is a completely different genre of death metal than Six Feet Under and Cannibal Corpse.

My main point is that fans of the death doom genre that this album falls under, as well as Autopsy fans, will love this cd (just like I do), as it fits in nicely with its genre. While the reviewer is comparing it to bands that aren't in its genre. Its like comparing black metal to death metal. It's unfair to bash a death/doom metal band because of its slower pace. The death/doom genre consists of slow chuggy riffs that are there to create a dark atmosphere.

Heres the review

"Let me make it clear that Six Feet Under is the shittiest gore concept band ever, with Cannibal Corpse a close second. That said, Murder Squad has the similar "groove oriented, thrash and mosh omitted" style of music. Whereas I have to hate SFU and CC because every single one of their songs follow a tight knit formula, Murder Squad seems relatively diverse. One notable thing that I immediately caught is that the drums are not the usual death metal bass drum blast beat session that most bands are using as their claim to fame. Instead, Murder Squad has an old school, almost rock groove to it. Think Blood Duster in terms of groove without ear bleeding double bass. If you're into speed, don't bother with this. If you're in love with the all too popular crap that Six Feet Under and Cannibal Corspe churn out, well then pop this cd in and jack off on your posters 'til your dick gets limp."

Unfairness is not a reason for review deletion. Read your bible.

Yeah obviously the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion means you can troll as much as you want.

I wish you could bash losers for stupid and narrow minded perspectives of metal... they don't understand that bands dont have to be fast to be good. But I ll just write a proper review.

Yeah but when I post a review about how gay this Trivium cd is, that my friend lent me the other day,because I they think that they are a bunch of sell-out fags that don't deserve to be in the same category as metal, or even be on this website, they got bitch vocals, bands with chick vocalists (Adorior, Infinited Hate, etc), They take all my points away. Thats my opinion but Im not entitled to it. Hyprocrates

They probably took your points away because you just wrote a shitty review, not because of your opinion. There is no bias on opinions here. Plus, it's a review for an internet website, why does it matter?

Yeah you're kind of not mentioning here like you did in the other thread that you were drunk when you wrote it.
