Dude...WTF?

I've had this CD a few weeks now, but the press promos were only made available 2 days back. You have listened to the album long enough and often enough to know it back the front and inside out?

People have to stop rushing these reviews online to be the "first"....no album deserves to be reviewed after 2 days. Live with it for a while. Jeez...

My review will be up when I'm good and ready.

Settle down, Stalin. :lol: It took me about 3 hours to realize TBF was more boring than watching my nuts shrivel up in cold water, and I figured out Generations was a shit fest after one listen.

Add to that the fact that this review is in Spanish, so by the time someone like Stevew2 has managed to get this review translated to English, the damn CD is in Walmarts $1 bin.

You are a fan...not a blog owner trying to push a "professional" review. Fans can decide what they like....reviewers have an obligation to deliver an informed review.

Well, I listened the album about 10 times, and I know I can do a review in this period of time... I've been writing reviews since I was 18 (now I'm 34) for specialized magazines, so I'm not considered myself as a 'freaky with a blog' jaja. You are right if an album is more complicated in musical terms (I mean, prog rock, sympho, etc), but I think this Giant CD it's very simple to listened to have an opinion of it after 10 times. Salutes!!

Do you pull this stuff straight from your ass, man?

First off: Did you even listen to It's Just the Rain? That song has it all. Real moody guitar, Mr. Kitten's raspy assed voice and... wait for it... Raindrops. Drip, drip drip... Then you got Gone Crazy on Generations, which includes the quintessential allround musician and funny man Ross Valory. I was in total aw as I listened to that track. Hidden under that decomposing wrinkled turkey neck; Valoy's voice is like John Farnham's on crack. Journey's next single will hopefully be: Ross Valory featuring Raindrops. Or Ross Valory featuring man quifs.

Dumbass... :roll:


:lol: :wink:

Wait, did you just compare Ross Valory's vocals to John Farnham's ?!?!! I'm hoping you didn't actually mean Farnham and meant someone else. I will let you correct it if that's the case... otherwise, please do elaborate.

Guess it's hard to read what's sarcasm and what's not, even though I said I hoped Valory would make a song featuring man quifs.

You had to ask... :lol:

(From Urban dictionary)

Fartwhiggle (male quif)

The act of sqeezing the butt cheeks together having the fart make a squeek noise. (similar to a quif) But then u hold them like that untill you start to have anal seepage forming a work shaped exterior.
"cameron's fartwhiggle was 15 feet long. "

"That fartwhiggle made my buns flare up in pain"
