I Too Am Ripping Off the Jackhammer Man
 
I would like to review albums for you good fellows and fellowettes. New music is cool and I don't know nuffin bout a lot of stuff. So PM an album and other necessities and I'll review it and the eclipse will begin I think. Por favor send me things gaiz.

Comus 02-05-2009 09:05 PM

Hokai, a quick scan of what I have uploaded I'm going to give you two albums.

Capability Brown - From Scratch

And Toad's self titled debut.

Roygbiv 02-05-2009 10:15 PM

Surell, you're awesome, and I want you to know that I think you are awesome so that when I say this you don't get offended:

Why should we send you albums? Jack and CA are both mods, people who have been here for a long, long time and who most of us know and respect enough to care for what they have to say.

But you're just a member. If you wanted to listen to new stuff and such, get a last.fm account or explore MB's Most Wanted. Otherwise people will just start posting threads like these all over the forum.

Unless there's something I'm missing...

Comus 02-05-2009 10:26 PM

Just a member? I'm sorry but we're all people here, anyways it's threads like these that could make a member one of the more respected contributers to the site. I don't think it's fair to pass judgement right now until at least he's started the reviews. The only way to lose face here would be to stop, also CA hasn't exactly done the best when it comes to his reviews considering he barely listens to the albums he's given to review.

everyone can do whatever they want which includes writing dismissive reviews of your prog gems

ixtlan22 02-05-2009 10:43 PM

Damn straight. Best review threads so far aren't the result of people that have been here forever.

TheCellarTapes, streetwaves, toretorden among others. Fuck this elitist bullshit. People do what they want.

ixtlan22 02-05-2009 10:55 PM

P.S.- I hope everyone knows this ^ (my last post) was sarcasm. I realized that sometimes people don't get that since we lack a tone of voice in text.

Comus 02-05-2009 11:04 PM

Nah it was pretty obvious.

Roygbiv 02-05-2009 11:16 PM

See, I knew I was missing something.
I wasn't aware that he'd actually review the albums, just sorta talk about them, say he likes it or not, but not review them.

Carry on then.

4ZZZ 02-06-2009 12:17 AM

I think this is a good idea and have no issues. The more the merrier. PMed you one Surrell

jackhammer 02-06-2009 05:24 AM

I should have patented this shit!

Why do you think we were made mods in the first place.

I know it certainly wasn't for my people skills.

I like the reviewing part.

That's what I intended.

I thought that was a review.

Comus and 4ZZZ: Sorry I haven't gotten you guys' down yet, Comus' didn't work and I haven't checked my PM's. I'll try my powers.

Comus 02-08-2009 05:32 PM

Didn't work? What problems did you get? Both the links work fine as far as I know.

Surell 02-08-2009 06:05 PM

I need to get the RAR files is it. I'll be sure to do that.

Comus 02-08-2009 06:13 PM

Oh right, you haven't checked your PM's, that's where they'll be.

Molecules 02-08-2009 06:53 PM

this is quickly turning into a scam for people to get free shit, somebody send him some crap it makes the best reviews

Surell 02-08-2009 06:56 PM

It is a scam how did you know?

Molecules 02-08-2009 06:59 PM

i'm a fucking telepath and your head will explode in approximately 15 seconds

edit: my battery's low. i'll get you later

Surell 02-08-2009 07:23 PM

Oh thank god for that. And I'm still trying the files. This is awkward.

Molecules 02-08-2009 07:30 PM

you know what Surell i've used my telepathic abilities to look into your mind and you're not a bad guy, so I'll forgo the psychic lynching. That would just be rude.

Oh yeah and best way to get rid of them is lye. Dissolves them straight off. Otherwise your neighbours WILL call the police on that smell. ;)

Surell 02-08-2009 07:35 PM

I was wondering about what I should do with that Leppers experiment.

Thats news to me. I didn't know mods knew more than members. Hmmm.

Mojo 02-13-2009 06:34 AM

Are you going to be reviewing stuff you find on your own also? I think a combination of the two would probably satisfy everyone.

But balls to it anyway, theres enough links flying around this place that I'm sure one or two dropped into your inbox probably wouldnt exactly be putting anyone out.

Surell 02-14-2009 08:23 PM

I think I might do my own reviews along with this for filler. I still have to learn a book.

Surell 02-14-2009 09:38 PM


I think that's the album cover but I'm probably wrong. So listening to this album was really an auditory pleasure. My main complaint would only be that every song sounds very similar to the last, but it's too much fun to mind that. The vocalist, when he decides they need a voice to come in and tell the listener there is a vocalist in a very subliminal message under the lyrics but this is just a conspiracy that we can delve into later, has a cool voice. Most of the album is jamming, which they do very well. Cool bass you can hear in the background, sweet classic rock guitar with that, and a great drummer to sandwich all this wackiness in there too. They're drummer's pretty damn good guys. It's one of those bands where the whole set plays well. I say this especially because I can actually hear the bassist play, and play well at that. I repeat, they do great jams. You can just sit back and let the music take you on a little journey through Rock and Roll. The opening is a great opening, and the ending is a climatic one. I have to say this is some damn good classic rock. Good fun, all around talent, and not a lot of variation, but I'm Ok with that since they succeed at playing good Rock.

I'd give it a 4/5 stars. Good music.
