| Agreed on the rating...some moments sound almost nice, but the overall impression is just "wtf?" |

| No wonder. It's the leftover bits from the upcoming album released for free to get goodwill and publicity. Sneaky bastard! What he should have done is release it in an 8-bit version. |

Hmm, I dl'ed it yesterday, haven't gotten around to listening to it but if most of it is instrumental eloctronic compositions, some similar to prodigy, then it sounds extremely interesting.
Edit: Just listened to it, this album blows. I'd much rather listen to a myriad of other electronic artists. Also, the vocals on the first three songs are terrible. |

| Never heard of the work lowlights before lol |

This sounds pretty disgusting. Too bad - looks like this is one to add to the avoid list.  |

| Will probably still check this out, have a weird thing for Mortiis. |

This is on my desktop waiting to be listened to, but it has to be said that using words like "I'm not very fond of Mortiis' work..." and "Perfectly Defect is not the type of album I'd put in my player very often..." - greatly reduces the credibility and integrity of your opinion. How valid is this review, when you've just said these things?
Maybe I won't like it either, but at least I do like his previous stuff. |

this is but a "danger" for every reviewer, isnt it? or is it always possible to review only stuff you like?  |

It's not a case of only reviewing stuff you like, of course that's a stupid idea. But the reviewer needs to have the capacity to appreciate the music at least. |

When i say i'm not very fond, i just say the truth, but had i liked this album, i wouldn't have buried it.
When i say that it's not the type of album blablabla, this comes from the fact that i didn't like it, after i listened to it.
I concider my words sincere and i know what i'm talking about, concerning the album. Of course someone might like it and it's fine with me, but these are my thoughts on the album and i wrote them down, despite being not very fond of his work, after all he lacks the electro thingie. And i appreciate music a lot, believe me, but if there is not much of music inside an album, what can i appreciate? Anyway, i consider my thoughts on the album sincere and if this album was good, i would have been good at it. End of story. |

My same thoughts. |

Sincerity doesn't change how valid an opinion is though.
I could have a sincere opinion about an Opeth album, but I'm not very fond of their work and isn't what I usually what I put in my player... so would that opinion really mean anything to anyone?
Regardless... I listened to the album today, and wasn't exactly impressed...
I'm not saying the review is wrong, just that saying things like that within the review reduces its credibility... |
|
|

My statements concerning the sound of this album were pretty much to the point of what the album presents or whether it is good or bad, i wanted to state though that i'm not very fond of his work, without this meaning that i would have buried the album had it been good. Maybe we see it somehow differently.  |

My general rule is that as long as you can appreciate the sort of music being played to some extent, it's fair game for a review. So I have written some fairly negative reviews for melodeath bands as I think I know what good melodeath should sound like (Kalmah, early Nightrage, etc) EVEN THOUGH it's not a genre I put in my CD player often. whereas if I were to review a grindcore album I'd just end up listing all the things I find loathsome about the genre. So I don't. My two cents.
I notice from the amount of feedback that, no matter how ridiculously bad a piece of music is repeatedly said to be, people will download it just because it's free. I suppose that was the only way anyone was going to hear this little electronic abortion! |

| I am currently listening to one man band called Appalachian Winter...all his 3 albums are for free (and he is even warning people not to pay anything for his music ever) and it is quality ambient bm...but obviously only a few people will know it, while hyped Mortiis will be downloaded by masses... |

| My favourite is Torture Division. They even tell people to burn their CDs, draw some cover art and sell them on, and if they manage to sell any, spend the money on beer. Legends. |

And now that i've drunk 6 big beers, i'd never change a single thing from this review, i'm proud of it, it's one of my 'write-it-down' children and it's objective through its subjectivity.
EDIT.
A review is an opinion and if i liked Perfectly Defect the review would have been positive. I don't regret a single word from it, i listen to music, i love music and i write my positive or negative thoughts, i am as accurate as myself can be. End of story.- |

| At first I hated it, but this trip-hop kind of grew on me after awhile. Makes me think of strange cell-shaded dystopias. |

| Despite being a Mortiis fan, I kinda agree with this review. There is plenty of experimenting going on in this album but it never becoems something solid. I find a 4 a bit to harsh I would probably give it a 6 but not higher. |
