yeah, that dawn landes review is so wrong
...
That is woeful.
The only thing that is right with it is the score.
Well that was an embarrassing read.
Actually she had a point...
Perhaps....
but if this was some sort of "review by numbers" to reflect her setiments about the album/band in general, then that was a weak gag. I agree with justanothersheeldz - the only thing rightabout that review is the score.

Stacey Starfucker isn't real
right?
it was a pseudonym obviously
i remember much bitching about her on these boards LD
* :D
I thought as much
Bring back Stacey Starfucker, I want to know what she has to say on The Foals!
Old_Annoymous_Comments was a bit of a spammer!
Check out this review though...
Slightly misguided....

^^ WE HAVE A WINNER...
.
yes
sorry about that one.
Ah...your alright..
i forgive you....as long as TERRY BEZER is long gone!?
haha
isn't terry writing for kerrang or something?
i can remember writing that review actually. cringe.
Wasn't that bad adie
People here are so used to reading those fucking PF reviews, they've become like this impossible standard for normal people to measure against.
Seriously, for those of you who haven't tried, putting "good but not great" into 650 ain't as easy as it looks.
However, you could go back to PF's early reviews and read a lot of crap too.
Anyway, clearly today... NOW! the DiS writers do in fact measure up.
