I have another wonderful track by track for you. This one is worse though, because he gives a numerical score to each individual song.

Diamhea, BastardHead, your day is not complete without an ancient track by track from twelve years ago.

Finding these things is so easy. You just go to any popular band, find the album that has the most reviews on it, take a look at the oldest one, and odds are it's a track by track.

I wound up destroying the three oldest ones for Rainbow. 2002 was definitely a different time for the site.

Maybe I'll do some cleaning up like bored mods used to occasionally do back in Ancient MA sometime this weekend. Usually reports and the band queue take up the most time with us, with review queue coming in a distant third, and witch hunts for really old and really bad ones are in a much more distant 43rd. But yeah, you haven't brought up a shaky borderline-3-pointer yet, so maybe a small sweep could be necessary.

That is your opinion, and this is that reviewer's. Let it be, it delivers sufficient description.

ok, I just found that it was not describing what is actually on the disc but more what he expected to be there (thrash metal and satanic lyrics whilst it is none of that), but indeed my opinion...

A couple of these might still be acceptable, but they're all really, really short and/or track-by-track.

All right I was biting my tongue but I've been warned for piling on with the review deletion requests. You might want to edit that to 1-3 or you'll get the warning, too.

I'd say all three reviews for Solace are worth nuking. All of them are one large, megalithic paragraph...

As much as I hate ruining my own joke, I think there are still a few Penis Metal reviews that need to be scrapped due to possessing more penis innuendos than musical description/April Fool's Day-levels of effort in general:
http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/H ... iro/192119
http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/H ... ine/277555
http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/H ... laze/88697
http://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/H ... 123/307490

(There are some other reviews that are short, but considering the album is only 11 minutes long and devoid of musical variation or substantial content I figured some leniency should be exercised.)

Spoiler: show
You take the good, you take the bad-you take them both and there you have…A legendary album!
Well, not so legendary in a positive way and it’s a shame because musically ``StillBorn`` is every bit as violent and as visceral as ``Retribution`` was and in many ways, overwhelms that particular album in the said violent and visceral department. A would be vicious assault of razor sharp riffs and pummeling artillery disguised as drums was reduced to a tin can being scraped against a cheese grater… And a type writer, just being a type writer. Not to mention the vocals that while still have bite, angst and a few 15 second long mega shrieks vomited by a rather unholy abomination are just half hearted and rushed. And what a shame, the shame of all shames in my opinion; that ``StillBorn`` world wide was shat upon when new and is still pissed on many moons later.


What is it about this album that so many people are quick to hurl stones upon it and join the mob in the witch burning? Is it the fact that ``Retribution`` was so powerful and this follow up is nothing in comparison? Is it Brett Hoffman sounding like he has a cold? Is it that there were less blast beats? Or what about the whole picture, those horrid type writer drums, the lack of urgency in some of the songs and the absolutely bottom of the crap pile guitar and bass “production”? There are many reasons why ``StillBorn`` still, over a decade later is devalued and destroyed by so many. But to me, it’s all superfluous; besides the production values, and Brett suffering from some type of allergy this album has no flaw! If you will, accept it as such: A wondrous excursion into malicious brutality in theory, a victim of circumstance in execution. Please, do not smite or belittle ``StillBorn``, pat it on the back and say “there-there, I still love you, I will always love you”. Accept it’s faults and revere it’s glory!!!


Starting with a haunting, invisible approaching hoard of esoteric and monstrous agony, the album has a wonderful intro, rapidly lashing forth until the absolutely aggressive opener ``Dominated Resurgency`` attacks the listener with near reckless abandon. Yes the sound/production is uglier than 10 million sins, but try to look past that and get lost in the music therein, it might be difficult the first 6 years (HAH!) but eventually you can look past it (mostly). …Other highlights are all of those delicious solos and that infectious chorus and refrains of ``The Way of All Flesh``, that blistering ``TerrrrrrrAAAAAAAAAAHHRRRRrrrrr`` scream on ``Dominion of Terror``, the primal aggression found in ``Geared for Gain`` and the pristinely arranged title track-that boasts some of the best ``emotion`` Malevolent Creation has ever created within one riff.


The album does have a couple of songs that one, or… many would deem filler, guilty parties are certainly ``Carnivorous Misgivings`` & ``Ethnic Cleansing``. The former being stronger than any track on ``In Cold Blood`` but the latter-honestly being the one song that Malevolent Creation really shouldn’t have put on the album, musically a very forgettable and humdrum number. The closer track is somewhere in the middle, while the first few minutes are merely on par with previously mentioned ``Carnivorous Misgivings`` it’s last 2 minutes pull everything together for a wonderful ending … unfortunately the song doesn’t really get good until then, so it might have just been better as an outro much like how ``Memorial Arrangments`` was an intro moreso than a full song, while not a bad track per se; I feel it suffers from repetition and lack of needed ``umph``.


Overall, musically we have a very above average album bordering on excellent (for songs like ``Dominion of Terror``), ranking somewhere in the 80-90% category. The filler isn’t enough to damn the album, but it’s that production that could easily make the most hard eared Death Metal fanatic cringe with nausea and contempt. While a ``balanced`` mix-everything is under-produced to god awful extremes, the production is an unforgettably shameful 35% (only saving grace is that nothing is totally buried, except the bass tracks of course). Taking this angle of rating the album the average between these two numbers is a 62.5%, add in a unique cover worth 5 points and excellent lyrics and vocal arrangements on most tracks for 7 bonus points and we have a 74.5, round down (because let’s face it, it’ll never bee the bands best, no matter how much I love it) and we are left with a 74.


Also noteworthy in terms of replay value this easily triumphs over ``In Cold Blood``, ``The Fine Art of Murder``, ``Warkult`` & even ``Doomsday X``, at least from my personal stand point.
Give this a shot, try to work past the ``production``; a term used VERY loosely here!


posting this here because the formatting and shitty grammar gave me autism. the content itself isn't too bad, but.... ```fuck```...

holy god the first half of this review is the most idiotic thing ever!

"I don't know why I keep checking these old demos out and reviewing them. Most the time they have the same problem of having production so terrible that you can't make head nor tail of the music. This prompts the question of why they even exist. If I had a band that recorded something as horrible sounding as this, I certainly wouldn't let it be released. However, this has been released and so I will critique it like I would any other demo, because there definitely are good ones."

I'm sure there's worse offenders, but I think some of speedemon86's might be removal worthy. His reviews generally incorporate some type of track by track analysis but he also has a bit of a tendency to shy away from describing the music itselfvery much.

Talks about two of the songs but mostly just insults the band:

A track by track review in one paragraph:

Goes over the album a bit (evil melodies, raw/thick production, medium fast guitar work), but then ends up describing three of the eight songs:

I nuked the first two, waiting on a second opinion on the third. Borderline 3 pointer, maybe.

Spoiler: show
I got partway into the first song on this album - the album's title track, actually - and I was nodding my head, thinking, "Yeah nigga, dis be sum crunk shit" or whatever it is people say these days. What I mean, is that it was good. I was loving the guitarwork, it was quite splendiforous. But then...

...

...

...

... The fucking vocals!!! KIYHDLKH!!!! It was fucking horrible!! It was like Mike Patton rapping or some stupid shit like that - stupid shit that should never have existed, anyway. I immediately jerked my head, and the earphones fell out. This made me glad, because it saved me the work. But I thought to myself, "I won't judge it just yet, maybe this is a one-off." So I carried on listening.

Then "The Strain" came on. Once more, I was liking the guitar. I appreciated the bass and drumwork, too. Not the best, but nevertheless, better than I could do. And then, once more, THE FUCKING VOCALS!!!

The vocals were horrible, and killed this album for me. The abhorrence I felt tempted me to give something like, 0%, but the actual music brought the mark up.

I don't recommend this album, unless you like horrible vocals. Mike Patton / thrash fans will probably lap it up.

40%


stupidly, this guy kinda does touch on this album's strengths and weaknesses and even though i'd rate the album a smidgen higher i agree with what he's trying to say.... but this review is terrible.
