I have actually had so much fun reading some of these. Some of them cracked me up so bad!

Is plagiarism allowed under this rule set?

We no longer moderate review submissions at all - but someone may take action even if we do not... I'd advice against it.

For the Metallica albums he's actually just copying and pasting every review (or at least as many as will fit the character limit) into his own.

EDIT: At least some of them, like Justice and the Black Album.

A few minutes ago when I was posting some I was just clicking on random albums to write random nonsense, I clicked on Rush's debut while not really thinking. I pasted something stupid (I forget what) then almost clicked "publish" when I realized I had a completely finished draft from earlier for that album already. :lol:

It's all going to be wiped after today so I imagine it doesn't matter.

I saw that in the updated band list the other day and filed it for future use :lol:

I'm probably gonna do some lazy, yet serious obscure Japanese ones for the fuck of it (well until time runs out).

[edit] Screw that, I think I burnt myself out. Was gonna do Tengusakura but my brain wouldn't cooperate.

I actually put a bit of thought (like 2 minutes) into the 2 reviews I wrote. I think my Lucifugum review should not be deleted because it is actually a legitimate description of the so called music on the album.

What about the album earned that one point you gave it?

Okay, so this has turned out hilariously. :lol: I must admit you all had me fooled. And for that I'm going to submit my own "reviews." :D

Nothing wrong with a little bit of fun. Luckily in my shitty time zone I can catch the end of this. :D

Not that, I just didn't think it was possible for you to be mean at all, like it is just physically impossible to the point of breaking physics. Go forth and be an ass!

Haha, I can be mean but it'll probably come off as watered down. Still keen to have a bit of fun. :) I'm liking your ones!

I would assume it would end for everyone in Hellblazer and Morrigan's time zone, not end only for people in each select time zone...

PLEASE KEEP ALL THESE APRIL FOOLS REVIEWS!!! I mean, I don't want them counted, but just a separate page where we can all go back and read strictly for comedic purposes. I've been reading all these on and off all day and I'm laughing my ass off!

You might be the only person who took this even somewhat seriously.

I think I've mostly run out of "witty" things to say. A lot of these are pretty funny. I know it's totally juvenile, but raspberrysoda's review for Alcest's first album had me laughing pretty hard.

I think some of the more serious reviews (or ideas, rather) I had gestating in my mind for quite some time. I could probably expand/mold them into something submittable down the road, dunno.

Around 50% of what I submitted I was serious on to one degree or another (there may be a bit of hyberbole at play with some of them though). I started off joking around then I got more serious later on.

Oh man... that was good. I can't do this anymore, I can only feign racism/sexism/creepiness/homophobia/(anti)-elitism for so long. Time to screen cap all 75 'reviews', making sure to take Thanatos' responses for maximum effect!

I'm conflicted whether or not to post here or the other thread, but let's just go with this one since everyone is using it anyway.

Oh man, I ran Bahamut7's Art of Life review through google translate.

Spoiler: show

OMG :lol: :lol:! I knew something was up when I noticed all these 0%'s on the reviews page for albums like The Number Of The Beast and fucking Tapping The Vein :scratch: :nono:... Infuriated with N_S's submission for an obvious thrash classic, I decided to check out the "review"... only to see "FUCK OFF MOT" as the review title. Ye got me! :lol:

N_S when you put "Epidemic of Vaginas" about 30 seconds after I put "Epidemic of Gay", I laughed so freaking hard for a solid minute :lol:

Trust me when I saw HB's review for Master of Puppets and the subsequent flood of 100% St. Anger reviews I was just as confused as you. Oh man this was too good!

Yep, that was the idea dude. Take whatever someone said and turn it on its head! And I had the same reaction when I saw 'Epidemic of Gay' written out! :lol:

Adrenaline Mob needs some TLC. I'm too burnt out to do anymore. :P

Can't imagine how anyone can do like 25-50 real reviews in one day (hell, even 5-10). Yikes!
