For some reason I remember someone making haikus out of another review attempt on this thread and I'll be damned if it doesn't work like a charm even this time: Very formulaic A little about corpses Mostly religion |

I've seen that style of review a lot on RateYourMusic and mainly on hip hop and pop records. Although calling it a "review" seems audacious to me, but I've always perceived it as something that people do when they want to show their opinion about a musical work but don't want to make an effort to express it in a good way. |

Interesting, I've been meaning to review that Crucifixion album for a while - but it is a tricky one, never quite worked out how I feel about it. |

I understand what the reviewer is getting at, and I can see the potential of their chosen approach (which is essentially a 'character narration' by a misguided hypothetical person, invented by the reviewer, who has opposing views to that of the reviewer). It doesn't work because the review flits between this character's views and the reviewer's actual views (with no signposting for the reader as to who is who). With a little more tightness it would have worked, and it does also get to the essence of the record (although I can see how it makes even less sense to anyone who is unfamiliar with it). |

Earlier I rejected a review with a notice that contained the sentence 'Just... start over, and don't feel the need to be too clever with a review if it gets in the way of it being an actual review.' That also applies here; whilst I would actually call this a review it still suffers from reaching further than one's grasp. |

Also of note was a review of a similar 'quality level' (as in, less than zero) that I had saved but sadly overwrote the screenshot of: it was entirely in (presumably) Ukrainian given the album being reviewed... it translated to total gibberish. That might be some stupidity on Google Translate's end, but more willing to bet even in their native language they were making no sense whatsoever. |

LOL yeah. I know tomcat personally and that was good for a hearty chuckle in our friend group. I think that guy actually was someone that was in a Discord server tomcat runs, probably banned or smth. Pathetic, cope and seethe. |

Quote: The distortions in this band is what made Be Persecuted great. In this album however, it wasn't noticable as much like the previous. Nevertheless, this mini-album was great, the vocals, the melody, the instrumentals were just awe-mazing. I could literally fall asleep and cry at the same time. You could what? (This was the whole review.) |

This sort of thing is almost quaint. Was talking with a friend of mine and he noted that the track-by-track/'score each individual song' format, with regards to metal/this site is kind of a relic of the p2p filesharing era, when MP3 storage was limited and you'd cut things down to the best tracks to download. Seeing this in 2023 is makes me think if this person sat on this draft for 20 years. |

Yeah exactly lol, shit's uncanny. Lmao at the album this was posted for. I'm guessing, as a fellow scribe pointed out, that the spam bot was programmed to look for the word 'casino.' 'Written at a high level and brings with it twists of punk and melodic death that will not leave any pogoist standing at rest.' Review of the fuckin' year right here. |

Truly masterful wordsmithery. Again with the formatting, man. Again with treating the reviews like a YouTube comment section, man. I appreciate the enthusiasm of that last one, I guess. This one's kinda funny because the review was initially sent in with a lot more to it, but it was caught as being AI generated. It was rejected, then sent back with all of it removed... but they didn't replace it with anything. A real testament to how creative some people can be, that without AI they have nothing else to add apparently. |

...and, um, I'm pretty sure he's a recidivist https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... ery/407515 Quote: There is one positive take away from Fire Whiplash, that being the vocals of the front woman. As bad as many people think they are, I admire the shit out of them. Her vocals sound very organic and raspy, her mid-range highs have a sort of sexual wailing that I like as though she is about to achieve an orgasm. Hearing her style of screaming got me really hard really fast.
