Enjoy. :D I'm still laughing!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol: The review of the bible was too funny! Thanks AKA!!!:wave: :wave: vashti1999 07-18-2004, 12:02 AM Okay, so I tried it with my favorite album by my favorite (you know who): Sign O' The Times, but the lowest rating was still 3 stars, so thankfully most people were kind to it. So I tried Purple Rain and found this: Prince has to be one of the most overated talents in the history of pop music. This self absorbed, annoying, hopelessly dated CD will have you scratching your head wondering how critics still persist in labeling Prince's tired gimmickry "musical genious." Prince's rocket fueled climb to the top of the artistic heap in the early eighties was promptly followed by a more rapid and well deserved plummet. It all started and ended here... AKA 07-18-2004, 12:05 AM Here's a hilarious sarcastic review of Abbey Road that was recently posted to Amazon. Abbey Road I bought this album because I totally thought the guy on the right was Kate Hudson's husband. So I mean, I THOUGHT I was scoring some QUALITY stoner grooves or like, something kinda White Stripey. Dude, was I wrong. Like, are there ANY phat beats on this thing? Um, NO--I heard they don't tour at all--I bet they can't dance, 'cause not one of their boy band harmonies has a kickin' beat behind it, so what's the point? And what's with the look? I mean, dude, hit a gymn already, and like, catch Queer Eye like even once, and get some product in your hair. And those lyrics...they don't take it from the streets to the suburbs (props to Eminem) or the suburbs to the suburbs (shout out to tha Kid)--in fact THEY DON'T RAP AT ALL. I Want You (She's So Heavy)--I mean, sure we all want the hot girl, but do you have to make the other girl who's fat feel bad by telling her that? Too cold. And what's with Carry That Weight--is the guy going with the fat girl after all, or has he gotten fat himself? Confusing. Give Me "your body is a wonderland" any day. Speaking of heavy, forget slammin' tracks--these guys are ENGLISH, so they don't hit it like like Korn or Limp Bizkit or Phantom Planet. And okay, yeah, Sun King was kind of cool to chill to, but it would be better if it lasted like, twenty minutes with the same downbeats going all the way through--you can't get halfway through your doobie before the song is like, over. And Polythene Pam right after? Freaked me out, man. So, in summary, check out a real band like Incubus. Very witty. Describes the current state of the music industry to a T. |
