pretty shit cover art really
are by all accounts bit stupid… now i haven’t heard it so i’m not sure whether the reviews are accurate. Being honest i think i’ve only read a couple of full reviews at the most. I saw an advert for the album on MySpace and some of the quotes on there were fucking stupid, so i’m entitled to comment, okay? My problem is not with Mastodon using the quotes to get people to buy their album, its more the fact that they were written in the first place.
NME- ‘thuddingly impressive’
Is ‘thuddingly’ a word? Well yes, but what does it mean? The dictionary tells me it means… ‘verb (used without object) to strike or fall with a dull sound of heavy impact.’. So in the context of how it has been used what does it mean and what does it tell us about the album? Absolutely bollocks all.
Rocksound- ‘fucking stunning’
oooh get those rebellious tykes over at rocksound! they swear! wooooo. boring.
Metal Hammer- ‘Prepare to be blown away’
How can you prepare to be blown away? Surely its an oxymoron? I would say its deliberate on the part of the writer, but its for Metal Hammer, so it’s definitely not.
I’m aware its quite to harsh to judge a review based on a couple of soundbites, but when they are that stupid, can you blame me? Jesus christ.
