great sob review from Scott[views:2566][posts:18]___________________________________ [Mar 20,2007 5:53pm - dyingmuse ""] I know how much Scott knows about music seeing as his is just a perfect blend of unrehashed perfection with totally origional ideas. All I have to say is, If you don't like said generes .....Don't fucking post your worthless fucking reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I reviewed your music, believe me it would not be much better. But because I don't like your music, I won't post a review of it, And proceed to bash it online!!!! CUNT!!!!!!!!!!! Updated 3/3/07 Added: Shroud of Bereavement - Alone Beside Her (3/10, this record was kind of a bitch to review since I personally know some of the members of the band, some of them are from my own town in fact, and they are nice guys, but I have to approach this with 100% honesty. This is a gothic/doom metal band, influenced by stuff like early Anathema, My Dying Bride, Theatre of Tragedy, etc. Like a lot of the newer bands in this style, they try to marry the gothic doom with female vocals. Fairy vocals, that are often singing as a duet with the growling vox. This is extremely annoying here, and basically what you end up with is a growl part with simple doom guitars, then piano break with girl singing/talking, and so forth. Now, some of these songs are like 12-16 minutes long, and some of them are many years old though they seem to have been tweaked. Honestly, you should not be writing a song that long if you can't at least support it with some interesting material. In the end, this is another goth/doom-derived snoozefest kind of like the new November's Doom record. These guys work hard at this, they have been doing it for years, playing shows, getting releases out there, spreading the gospel...but there is no reason for me to even listen to this again when I could listen to Draconian or another similar band that is so much better. I'll put it simply: if you worship In Velvet Darkness They Fear to a fault, and anything that sounds even remotely similar, then you might just like this. Fairy vocals, plenty of keyboards, some violins, and pretty much nothing here that makes me feel remotely doomed, which is what I like to hear, in, you know, doom...) You cry for bird's blood, but not for fish's blood. Fortunate for ones with voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, 'I didn't want to become human.'

Shroud of Bereavement is better than Evanescense though. You cry for bird's blood, but not for fish's blood. Fortunate for ones with voice.

| __________________________________________ [Mar 20,2007 10:11pm - DreamingInExile ""] I know who wrote it, but out of respect to said party, I won't release any names. I'm pretty pissed off that he'd do this, I've known him for better then 10 years... this is HORSE SHIT! I understand not liking some bands, but to openly rip us apart on a message board, what-the-fuck-ever! I liked his band, to an extent, they were good at what they did, and had some talented members, but for the record, I liked their songs better when Pestilence and Kreator wrote them the first time around, sorry, but it's true. cheers! |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 20,2007 10:55pm - dreadkill ""] it's not like anyone on this board would go fight the guy for posting that review. this is rttp, not hell within. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 20,2007 10:59pm - dreadkill ""] i know who it is now. i always thought that guy was cool. it's too bad he wrote that shit. he could've found a better way to say he didn't like it. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:50am - Neverpurified ""] not as funny as when i make fun of you guys |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 1:00am - dyingmuse ""] Yeah Kyle, at least you are funny when making fun of your favorite band!!!! lol |

I guess I'm not like him and refuse to put him in the spotlight over this. I've given enough clues as to who he is, and I'm sure that if/when he sees this, he'll jump to his own defense and let himself be known. Just because he's not man enough to inform us of a review he wrote just makes it that much more worthwhile to not put him in the spotlight. at least if I was going to write a review, I'd tell said band about it and share it with them FIRST!!!!! :middlefinger: |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 11:16am - dreadkill ""] i agree with you, mark. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:03pm - DreamingInExile ""] in all actuality, we can't all expect everyone to write a good review, but... 1.) this review could have been more mature, insted of making us look like a bunch of 3rd graders (this is what pisses me off most about the review, not that it was bad, but the way it totally fucking trashed on us) (remember, Kreator and Pestilence did it, and still do it, MUCH BETTER then you) 2.) said reviewer should have come to us with this BEFORE posting it, that would have been the mature thing to do, I mean, he says he knows us, why not get our opinion on the writing before posting it... 3.) I'm not gonna let this bother me, but next time someone asks me about his band I won't bullshit around the topic, I'll get straight to the point on what I think of it, not what I think of him, but what I think of the music. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:07pm - dreadkill ""] all good points. the 3rd grader shit is what really sucks. i would have no problem with someone giving my band a bad review as long as it wasn't insulting. it's not that difficult to say you don't like something without making fun of it. then again, i've made fun of my fair share of bands in posts on rttp over the years, so i'd deserve an insulting review. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:09pm - babyshaker nli ""] thats pretty lame i enjoy SOB and you guys are super nice people both past and present members. like i said before LAME |
| ____________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:32pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] people these days just dont understand how to give contructive criticism. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:35pm - DreamingInExile ""] exactly. if it were constructive criticism I'd be fine with it, but the way he outright ripped us apart is what pisses me off! |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:47pm - the_reverend ""] I wonder if I know this person. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 21,2007 12:51pm - DreamingInExile ""] yeah, you do... you've shot his band, more then once, and he used to be a regular here on the board. |
