I definitely think that music made by people making what they want to make is usually better than those that change for what they think will be more popular however I also want the artists to make music that I like and if they don't I should be free state my opinion be it constructive or not. People don't always have to be constructive when they critise music, sure it is better to be so but if I want to say that such and such is shit because I hate it and it's shit then so be it. The opinion is not invalid because I didn't detail the ways I would make it less shit. Basically I think artists should make what they want to make but to take any critism (constructive or not) on the chin. If they can't handle critism then they shouldn't release their music. Someone somewhere is always going to hate it and in our annonymous internet world they will have no fear saying it, a lot. All I hope for is that I can find artists that make music that I really like, from their heart. Generally they'll make one album like that before either changing away from my taste or trying too hard to meet my taste and it's never as good. Occasionally you'll get an artist who can make more than a few albums like that but they are very rare IMO.

Rum!

I'm so confused, I manage to agree with all oposing opinions This I definitely agree with. Go to Karaoke with some friends and belt out some of your favourite songs as badly as you can! I recommend The Pogues as you don't need to be able to sing

Ace! Still not going to turn Scorb off to listen to it though, but I might buy it

You're a junkie? IMO this is just crap. if 7 is average and 5 is bad then what the hell is 1,2,3 & 4? It's people that use scales like this that show us that introducing a scoring system will end in a big bag of fail. I don't mind a score, I really don't with decent reviewers but so many people have fucked up scoring system 6/10 mediocre crap or 12/10 WTF?? As would I if it was consistently used correctly. It wouldn't be though and we'd get some pretty crappy results if we made it that reviewers had to rate their reviews (well I really fucking hated this piece of shit album but I like the guy and appreciate that he is trying something he wants to do so I'll still give it 7/10 despite its crapness) I would too if I had a tried and trusted reviewer but that still doesn't equate to making reviews needs a score. I would go for Basilisk's idea if people would ever be able to follow it. However they'd fall into your second take and that's why I reckon this should be ignored.

As long as it's not all gay love songs I'm in! Is it? can't check samples at the moment because I am listening to Scorb - Scorb

Plus won

Kindzadza Para Halu Enichkin BOTFB Deviant Species Out: some crap

The only thing I hate about john's reviews is his scoring system. I would definitely vote against that and I'd be inclined not to have a scoring system at all mainly because most people can't score for shit. Worst album ever, what has he become? I couldn't even listen to it. 6/10 WTF???? Reviews don't need scores, it just distracts from the actual review.

Astro Pilot - Memories Maze

Distant System - Spiral Empire

Scann-tec - Signals

A pic of the island near my house.

I've added this to my saiko sounds wishlist. Tracklist looks really nice, good luck with this release.

I bought this blindly. Didn't want to be put off by samples. I can never connect with ambient samples on web shops so don't even bother. If Matt Hillier thinks it's good enough to release I have little doubt that it'll be tremendous!

Asura - Millenium 3

I have also ordered this one. I am very curious to hear a release on this label that is not Matt Hillier

That would suck if true Even if it was just a CDR I would buy it.

Not no more.

But this thread was made well after Mother's day in England so I would have needed a time machine

Still the advice is good, if I have a particularly steep-hilly terrain that is well set up for big jumps when not in fever. I actually thought I had to go from the 1st island to the end of the 4th album in fever mode at first until after I had done it and my bird told me it was just the 4th island

I am really curious to listen to this one but I am not paying CD price for a download. I'll wait to see if they release this physically before I part with my hard earned.

and you were winning for 3 hours too! Good job
