Stop quoting Wiki cause it is wrong in more than half the instances. And this is another instance. It is kph, mph, OR kp/h, mp/h and that's it. Trust me I studied Biology and Physics at university.... never ever trust Wiki in your entire life cause anyone cane change it the way they want it to be. Please go back to the Encyclopedia Britanicia instead cause that is trustworhty and Wiki IS NOT.

Done. Search km/h and that's the term they use in articles about aircraft, pilots and drivers. You know I'm right

I kinda hated the album, and the same goes for this review, although I really liked the Mugatu bit and most of the paragraph to follow. Your blog about posting reviews was fantastic but I wish the staff would take it to heart themselves - I believe the standards are mph and km/h (not to mention the horde of other oversights)

Back to the album itself, I seem to agree with skratte. Psychopathy Red among the few good tracks though nowhere near their best material, and a lot of mediocre crap, in both the music and the lyrics. Calling it best thrash of 09 is a joke. Probably similar enough to CI for HardSide not to bother...

i kinda hated your review of my review. i wish you would take my blog to heart. "Kinda" is not a word, not to mention other oversights. (such as ending a sentence in parenthesis without punctuation, nor the preceding sentence as well for that matter)

christ, we are not English Lit and Creative Writing dual-major PhD's here. Sorry there is not absolute perfection in my review. were you someone who proofed reviews you would understand there is a VAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT difference between a (possible) slip up regarding standards in stating velocity and some of the trainwrecks that get submitted.

so aside from grammar issues, what other problems were there with the review?

i am interested.

Rhetorical question again, I know you get me by now, I'd just like all the official reviews to set the fine example asked of the guest reviewers in the blog

You might just be trying to make Ol' Bitter feel better, and I'm sorry I didn't say it very nicely, but you know, these things are gonna be quoted in various places and it'd be nice if you guys followed your own advice with regard to spelling things correctly

One other little thing I really disagree with is "Dave Lombardo ... fucking unstoppable beast" - IMO nothing about his performance here is that spectacular or remarkable but I suppose it just maintains the tone of the review, and/or matches the excitement that the unstoppable Slayer hasn't completely fucked off and died

In the immortal words of one Jules Winnfield, "Well, allow me to retort."

For starters, once again, the blog was geared at guest reviews, many of which come in more incoherent than K7 after a three-month wine bender. Some of them have required literally hours of my time reconstructing. We're not talking minutiae here. We are talking everything from basic sentence structure to spelling the band's name correctly.

Second, some might have shown up to disagree with your remarks, but I certainly need no one to defend me. Nor make me feel any better about myself. I am quite capable of dismissing challenges. I, however, will not dissuade anyone who agrees with my stand point from publicly starting their opinion.

Now as far as I see the review comments thus far, there are multiple responses.

I have 9 people who have flat out given the review itself positive comments. (Thanks all, I do appreciate it. Glad you found my review amusing and/or useful.)

I have 1 person who has called me out directly for my grammar, and who has apparently visited multiple resource sites to find the appropriate way to abbreviate velocity. Said individual, however, is apparently absolutely incapable of proper punctuation himself:

You can call it a stylistic thing as much as you'd like, but if you are calling someone else out about their grammar (like, oh, me, for example), it's probably best to have your own grammatical ducks in a row. Failing to punctuate is incorrect. Far more incorrect, I daresay, than my terminology in regards to velocity. Try turning in a term paper that way some time if you disagree.

Simply put, were I not a cantankerous old man, drunken, and with gums aching after being poked, prodded and savaged by the dentist today, I probably would have done what other posters have already suggested I do... ignore your comments altogether like they do.

Instead, seeing as you singled me out (at least my blog was generic so as not to hurt feelings), I figure I'd retort in kind.

As I see it, someone wasted the time to visit multiple websites to ensure their thoughts on the appropriate abbreviation for measurement of velocity were correct before denigrating my review.

Feel free to waste yet more of your (apparently vast and otherwise uninhabited) free time to analyze my grammar yet again. Please make sure to "take my blog to heart" and punctuate properly, son.

I'm going to go drain another beer before having "adult time" with my wife.

I'll let the audience figure out who has it better.

As I said with Christ Illusion this album sounds even more generic. God Hates Us All had that signature Kerry/Jeff riffing with nice tempo changes that the past two albums has been missing and it seems very uninspired. I have been a fan since Haunting the Chapel and have been left with with the feeling that the album should have been packaged like the old generic foods with just thrash metal on front. Nothing special about World Painted Blood IMO.

It is best to deride people in an appropriate timeframe (AKA not a year and a half later, unless it's something REALLY bad).
