Putting a 1/10 is almost a 'throwaway' review. He can't hide that he hates Oasis (even probably in their prime) & would have given ANY quality of record the same score. One person on an online web-site that has half the knowledge & years of rock listening has really no ground to stand on reviewing music. I am hearing Radiohead fans are mixec on their new album....but wait for the critics!! It'll be 10/10.
This review is laughable!

I'm shocked at what passes for objective journalism these days. This reads like a fifteen year-olds blog. Cursing because he thinks it makes him cool, while throwing out every cliched phrase about Oasis/Beady Eye/The Beatles that he could find on google.
How did this guy get a job writing? It's an awful read, aside from the poor review. It simply isn't written well, and goes nowhere. Blah. blah. Blah.
Piss off!

I'm not a fan of the album, but a 1/10 review just lacks any credibility whatsoever. It makes writing any review totally irrelevant because it is so clear there's an agenda before the first word is written. As I say, I'm not a fan of the record, but Liam's vocals and two or three very solid tunes immediately elevates it well above the kind of drivel contained in that piece.

Probably a confused nerd who is frustrated at how shit the new Radiohead album is, so takes it out on an easy target.

1/10 is very hard. i don't think this album is great either but 1/10 is ridiculous. 5/10 is the right thing, i guess

On the radiohead note, as a radiohead fan, it literally takes me a week of listening before I can come to any final verdict. I think that's the way it is with most fans. A lot of feelings were mixed when In Rainbows came out. (inlcuding mine) But now, it's one of my fav albums by them. Radiohead's music is rarely immediate. A large majority of Kid A isn't immediate, but its one of the best albums of the last 25 years. Not surprised that fans are mixed. Radiohead fans are almost always mixed. lol But to go back to the "review", he prob should've just taken this into the bathroom, and used as toilet paper for his shit. |

I have to say I've never seen an album getting that much of thrashing in a review. Even if I reviewed a Brittany Spears album I wouldn't even be half as harsh as this. Well, maybe I would but this guy must seriously hate Liam Gallagher with a passion.

have to say that review is totally spot on. whenever i put on the record it makes me think of another band that has done a similar sounding song much better.

The guy probably didn't even listen to the album in full. He just mentions 'Millionaire's chorus, SOTEON (which admittedly is the weakest song on the album) and the rest of the review just mentions song titles and again comparison's to the nineties when Oasis where the best band in the world and no band at present can be compared to Oasis in the mid nineties because they would just piss all over them including Beady Eye. |

That made me go:  What a waste of time to be hearing an album you hate and constantly slag off online. I bet you cry while listening to Definitely Maybe, gazing at a picture of Noel hung on the wall |

Okay yeah, it's pretty obvious this isn't a serious review. Yeah, he doesn't like it, but you can tell he's not making an effort to actually review it. So eh, why even talk about it? Because I have nothing better to do, that's why.

Hello all, this is Jordan, the reviewer.
First of all, I have no problem with any criticism of my review. It'd be hypocritical to be offended by a criticism of a criticism. Some of the comments on here even made me laugh.
However, to clear up a couple of things; Firstly, in the first paragraph of the review I say that it is going to full of tired cliches and bad jokes. That's the point for me-something so uninspiring and derivative doesn't deserve anything more. This is honestly one of the worst, if not the worst, albums i've heard from a band at such a level. I'm not over(under?)exagurrating my score for 'shock value'-i believe that's all it deserves.
Secondly, and i think this is actually apparent in the review, I don't 'hate' Oasis, or any band. I go into every album like it is a clean slate, but comments such as "in their prime" would have me believe that even hardcore fans know that the bands best days are behind them.
Thirdly, what is the problem with having people who work 'part-time' contributing? The majority of websites don't have enough funds to pay writers. Personally, I review purely for free CDs and gig tickets, as do a lot of 'journalists' who contribute to websites. There are plenty around that you could write for yourself (I'm not saying this as a challenge, but its something that anyone who loves music should consider).
Fourthly, a review is not a list of track after track after track. It's not unusual to only mention 2 or 3 tracks if an album is as one-dimensional as this. Again, it's kind of the point.
Fifthly, I'm not a Radiohead fan.

You may not be 'underexaggurating' but you are misspelling. You also placed the decimal point wrongly in your review. I think you meant 0.1/10 based on your write up!

There is no reason to bring Oasis into this conversation. Oasis no longer exist. It's all about Beady Eye now, and their best days aren't behind them..in fact, they are just beginning. |
