you clearly all know each other so why instead of bitching on here do you not just sort it out face to face? or would that make motive less interesting?

Never trust a review, always give a live band or album a listern yourself.

yeah don't trust it, but i think that it is a good guideline. i mean e.g. one reviewer reviews two albums.
the first album goes along the lines of: 'summery vocals accompany the shimmering 60's - esque guitars....yadda yadda yadda. buy this it's really good!'
the second: 'overtly grim opening from this bunch of noise merchants, tension and release their only trick, yadda yadda yadda. buy this if you like downwards smiling!'
99 times out of 100 listening to both records if i buy one i'll buy the second over the first. but i'd probably try to avoid the first generally. hence the relevance of the review.

Jamie, seriously man, did you read a single word i had written above? at first i thought your queries could be ironed out, and i figured i'd explained myself pretty well, but now i'm just confounded.
Your genre may or may not suck, and I didn't specify which. All i said was that it would not be a notable part of musical history, because it was bound to be short lived. The other members of your band didn't seem to be too bothered by the review. You can't moan if you get a shitty review.

Bloody hell.
What a load of twining bastards.
Some guy you don't like (as it sounds to me from this thread) didn't like your band. Do you care? There are billions of other people out there who might well like you.
One person's opinion isn't going to change what you play, unless you really are gay.
If you think the musc's great, keep playing it and you will find people that like it.
I bloody hate bitching of this kind on MS. What a waste of everyone's time.

What a waste of everyone's time. i actually never moaned about how fair the review was. i dident moan atall. what luke said was right in some ways there is no set way to how a review should be written. but i belive a review should be the reviewer giving his opinion on the music, be it negative or postive.

i belive a review should be the reviewer giving his opinion on the music, be it negative or postive. And that, my dear jamie, is exactly what he was doing. It is possible to comment on a style of music in a review if the band you are reviewing is playing that style of music. At the end of the day, what exactly are you talking about?

You can say what ever the fuck you like, y'know you read metal hammer or kerrang, those fucks give really bad reviews, what david said was relevant, he was saying that 'Metalcore' will not be around long enough for anyone to really get big.

"metalcore" is a blend of the both the metal and hardcore genre. so as long as metal and hardcore are around i imgine metalcore will exist. i never moaned saying the review should be fair. only that the review should be of relevence to the music.

The review is in the review section. And it's not bad. Just some headcancercases cant read.

Who fucking cares? Anyone who whines about a review of their band is clearly an idiot who cares far too much about what people think of their music.

HE BLOODY WELL IS TALKING ABOUT THE MUSIC
"The genre is typified by growling vocals (equally matched by a tuneful backing singer); epileptic guitar playing that veers from sporadic high-intensity picking of strings to stumpy doomful chug-fests, and a drummer who can’t seem to totally get over the novelty of using a double-kick drum."
Is that not referring to music?
Having re-read the review, I honestly cant understand what the blind fuck you are on about. David starts with an introduction to metalcore (as it is a relatively unknown genre of music that, for many people, could be anything) that isn't exactly comlimentary, but ther you go. Then there are three or four paragraphs describing what the CD is like. What more do you want him to say? He could go on about key changes, weird tunings or whatever, but its not neccessary for it to be a good review.
Please, for my own sanity as well as yours, read the review againi and explain where in that review David isn't talking about the music (or the style of music) that you are pplaying and let me know. I genuinely can't work out where you are coming from.

that was kinda his point... he was complaining that the review isn't about his band, but more about metalcore. to set the scene or whatever for the rest of the review. it's about half and half though, so still don't see the problem.
