It's just not anything that's worth complaining about. It's one adjective used in a sentence that doesn't even affect the rest of the review, and so it just seems like needless bitching and moaning. Eh.

It's a verb.

But I do agree with your point, Empyreal. Many of these things might be ignored if a different reviewer wrote them, or merely laughed at. There's a vitriol towards ConorFynes that's so strong it almost makes me uncomfortable. After all, many of you would be in the same boat as he if you wrote nearly as much as he does. I know I would.

Overshadowed by other giants of the time, such as countrymen "Running Wild", "Deep Purple" or the mighty "Judas Priest", Accept lack many aspects here that should deliver the goods in a powerful and impressive fashion, or simply should satisfy. Let's take a closer look at what's going on here.

Gutterscream, I'm sorry you had to approve all those CF reviews.

What the fuck...He bashes the album, mostly with the shittiest justifications ever (most of which don't even actually apply to this record, and without actually describing the music in any way) and then still gives it an 80%.

Now, I like this album just fine, but WHAT?!

Your point being...?

but at the same time I don't see how "Higher than Hope" is a bad song. I like that one.

Regarding Shogun: What is with these Engrish reviews getting accepted? It is generally disheartening.

"But the art is amazing and some mysterious girl on the cartridge."
What the hell does that mean?

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the crazy Germans with their elaborate Gothic stage getups and pale ghostly faces are back and nobody takes them seriously. Next on action news at 10pm, water is wet. Seriously, anyone who uses that gay little “I can’t take them seriously” bromide in regards to a band like this needs to be subjected to 48 hours straight of nothing but GWAR albums until they learn that stating the obvious ought to get you a playful slap across the back of the head. But enough about everybody’s desire to claim a monopoly on judge, jury and executioner in all matters of what constitutes serious music vs. unserious music, there’s an actual decent album to talk about.

hells_unicorn on Powerwolf:



Pretty pompous and self righteous, undermining his own point by the use of 'gay', and although he has a point in that Powerwolf aren't supposed to be taken seriously...they don't make good music at all. But hey.

People who disagree with hells_unicorn are gay? Well fuck, I'm sold - sign me up for H_U's Opinions Monthly, I'm sworn against all that queer-ass shit.

Emp, I really wish you knew how to appreciate fun.

nowhere did I suggest such a thing lest I become a mere Ultraboris with a slightly better thesaurus

Have you ever considered a career in rap? Because you totally should.

Oh come on, did you even read what I was actually referring to as being gay, nowhere did I suggest such a thing lest I become a mere Ultraboris with a slightly better thesaurus? Man this is one tough room.

And BastardHead is just pissed that I don't like Powerwolf, he isn't talking about your review.

Some idiots, haters on batteries that is, call LoG trendy and shit, and other call LoG forgettable. So really do make up your mind please, because last time I checked something can't be both black and white at the same time.

Apparently "trendy" is an antonym of "forgettable". Also, "haters on batteries"...

Napero, I admit it, the review as a bit Dry-ed out.
