It's like saying that Matt Freeman plays "guitar" in Rancid. <br/><br/>Here's my favorite part of the review:<br/><br/>"Sadly however, I think Darker Days might honestly be a step backwards in reference to emotion from Time Again's 2006 cut The Stories Are True, which stood stronger in both message and strong."<br/><br/>Stronger in both message, and strong. Those are strong words. Music journalist words.<br/><br/>What? The critic can't take criticism? <br/>It's fun just trying to get a rise out of the"music journalist".<br/><br/>Oh, and the album's great! But i'm not a "music journalist". So I apologize. Mr. technical likes to be vague. It’s like saying that Matt Freeman plays “guitar” in Rancid.

Here’s my favorite part of the review:

“Sadly however, I think Darker Days might honestly be a step backwards in reference to emotion from Time Again’s 2006 cut The Stories Are True, which stood stronger in both message and strong.”

Stronger in both message, and strong. Those are strong words. Music journalist words.

What? The critic can’t take criticism?
It’s fun just trying to get a rise out of the”music journalist”.

Oh, and the album’s great! But i’m not a “music journalist”. So I apologize.

And the bass is a what?

Do you have anything to say about the album itself, or are you simply going to attack my word choice?

Christ.

Lack of tonality in the internet sucks (I know you were being funny).<br/>Hey, maybe he was signing it "stupid bitch" like that's <i>his</i> name.<br/><br/>Seriously, though, DrinkFightPogoFuck: Accept the album and review it to be posted here. As the managing editor, I'd be editing it before it would be posted and Josh could tell you that I mainly stick to fixing up grammar/spelling and never change anyone's words. You've got nothing to lose and a Time Again album to gain. We have more than 8 readers, Joshua! Lack of tonality in the internet sucks (I know you were being funny).

So I'm giving you your soapbox, even if it is simply to call me a stupid bitch. However, I do feel the need to point out that I'm a music journalist. This is what I do. I point out the selling points and fault of albums, bands, and concerts to the general public. With this review, I focused on two situations which I believe to be major faults. Their last album, the stories are true, was MUCH better, and they sound like a Rancid cover band. Keep in mind that those are my personal opinions on this subject, and does not reflect the band in a way other than the fact that I was disappointed the album. I was hoping for something better. <br/><br/>However, since you feel very strongly that my opinion is way off the mark on this subject, I would like to allow you to tell me why. If you would be willing to email me your home address, I would be willing to mail you the new Time Again album, as well as the media press pack I received from hellcat records. With this information, I would allow you to review the album yourself, and email it back to us. We will, after editing your grammar and spelling, post your review for the world (or our 8 readers) to see. This should compensate for my poor review, allowing the band to be represented from both sides. I think this is a more than fair offer from someone who was cussed at based strictly on their personal opinion. But hell, at least you have that punk feel that I wanted this album to have. I respect you for that. <br/><br/>So lets see what you've got. I've given you your soapbox. Step up.

Obviously liek every other genre the bands have a certain element in common to be classified as that genre, if the difference is completely noticeable subgenres are formed. Which punk (not according to you) seems to have the most of. <br/><br/>How bias and ignorant are you for actually saying this in a review other people will read? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you should give it a shit review. I've got an idea! I'm going to go do a review for lamb of god and say they sound just like slayer! <br/><br/>stupid bitch yeah, fuck you! that’s just the same as anyone else saying metal, pop, jazz, techno or any other genre is conforming to be the same as their roots.
