Ran into this review: https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... kroke/2636 There's a little bit of musical descriptions but it's very short and bare bones, doesn't seem like there's really enough there. |

This review from 2008 doesn't describe the music very well, but instead seems to just attack the band and go into off-topic ranting quite often. https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Acheron/Tribute_to_the_Devil%27s_Music/25756/demonomania/21543 |

Thought this one was pretty borderline. Awful sentence structure and while it does *talk* about the music it doesn't actually describe it. Very little substance and doesn't give you any idea of what it really sounds like beyond being atmospheric black metal (and Glass Shrine definitely are not a typical atmospheric black metal band). https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... know/69704 |

Two from ten years ago by one and the same guy... By and large track-by-track, and not very descriptive in most cases: https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... n666/68424 This one isn't track-by-track to as high a degree as the first one, but to some. And it got the peculiar quote "'Tormentor' has also a shitload of awesome riffs [but I liked Slayer version much more]", as if one is a cover of the other. I mean, "version", isn't exactly a fitting word for two songs that just happen to have the same title. https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... n666/68424 |

https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... ed/275213/ Very light on description for both bands on the split. Also, annoyingly, the review's score isn't calculated correctly (the reviewer gives a 28% to one band and 35% to the other, resulting in an overall score of 28 + 35 = 63%???). |

Looking at the review with fresh eyes, I take it back - I think he actually means ZBT is worth a 56 and Zebulon Kosted is worth a 70, so he averages those. Sounds like a really negative review for such a high score, though. |

Two old ones by one and the same guy: https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... rtal/73868 https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... rtal/73868 The first one has the rating 15% but says early on "this review is not so much to critique the music (which totally rules)"... The second one is mostly attempts at being funny and he's open about not describing the music: "the lyrics remind me of tv shows about school kids where there's that goofy, faggoty goth kid in the class who gets up to read some of his terrible poetry about dead leaves and loneliness. These guys and most other foreign bands should just stick to their own languages so that if their lyrics are weak, most people can ignore them." "I would have been more specific in this review, but after listening to this about 5 times nothing stuck with me. I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this, but "Plaguewielder" and most other Darkthrone albums (any after "A Blaze") are shit and only give black metal a bad name. Don't buy this. You would be better of just spending your money on drugs or fast food. Both would probably stick with you longer". |

Yeah, I agree that the review barely describes the music at all, besides offering the subjective notion that the vocals sound like vomiting or whatever, and by pointing out that there are also "female" vocals. |

You gotta bei kidding with the acceptance of that Wintersun 100% review by Livingwave 17. It's absolutely nondescriptive ("epic sound", "powerful sound", "harsh sound" + another billion mentions of "epic" and "sound") and nothing more but an "epic" sucking up to Jari. Maybe Jari wrote it himself. https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/Wintersun/The_Forest_Seasons/652821/Livingwave17/413797 |

It's certainly a weak review and could probably use a proofreader in the future, and the account WAS registered just a few days ago and only has one contribution, but it's still acceptably descriptive (if a bit weak) and is just a fanboy. We have the three pointer option for a reason. |

https://www.metal-archives.com/reviews/ ... 666/177205 Always ridiculous when reviewers admit to giving an unjustified rating: "Well yeah the album does definitively not deserve a 3/100, there are some nice/decent riffs here and there, for example on Fireblind which was not that bad after all, but the point is, I was pranked! I got this album dressed up as a classic, and it managed to be complete garbage. I don't tolerate being pranked and this is why I'm giving it such a low score" Basically another case of someone reviewing and rating other people's description of an album rather than the album itself. Not to mention the 10-year old level maturity and style: "I opened the album folder and started to listen to the first mp3. But after some minutes the excitation was completely gone and I thought "Oh my God what the hell is this......... album?" This failed abortion of an album starts off with some random noises, then some absurd voices come in: "Oh, oh, oh, OH, OH!!!". What the fuck, I have no idea what that is supposed to be, the only thing I know is that it sounds like a guy getting a cock up his asshole. Then after this part (Which does only help to realize how the album is going to be) the guitar comes in. Unfortunately it manages to sound as bad as the gayguy. Very boring guitar work, and then the drums come in and I hoped they were at least going to save the situation a bit but mother of God, the drums manage to sound even worse than the guitar. They're very weak and sound like the drummer's beating plastic dishes or something else, I cannot find any other comparision to describe how much the drumming sucks. Then, when you think the album can not get any worse (And we're still at the first song!) the vocals come in and.... it does get worse!!!" |
