[Irvine511]

i'm enjoying the Springsteen album, but how it got 5 stars is beyond me.

For those who rely on Pitchfork media, this is great:

"In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement."

i mean, what isn't derivative of Pavement for early-30s hipsters?

If you are really interested in an album's total critical reception: Music Reviews, CD Reviews - Metacritic.com . Then you can see the range and average for Springsteen and when it's released, NLOTH.

I'm surprised more people don't know about this site. Very helpful when trying to determine if a new band is worth a listen.

Mullen added: "You don't win 14 Grammys feeding Africans."

Absolutely. Unless you have one site/publication that you mostly agree with, this is the way to go. The number of bands I've discovered and given a shot because of metacritic is pretty large.

A starving African, who is of little concern to the other members of U2.

Outlaw Pete is awesome but I really think the album is only 3 stars

Working on a dream the song is pretty bad, especially lyrically. And it should of been called "I love Obama"

I love WOAD, the song.
On a bad day, I guess that WOAD should be worth 3.5 stars. At a great day, 4.

Yeah... great site. Always look there when I'm trying to see the general reaction for some album.

Agreed.

Queen Of The Supermarket is the worst. It sounds like a SNL parody of Bruce.

Agreed.

I don't even like Outlaw Pete all that much. I do like My Lucky Day a lot, though.

 

[Salome]

Yes, that one is my favorite, along with Good Eye and The Wrestler.

I didn't know that either. I still don't know how.

I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

A dream awaits in aisle number two

For me, it's a useless feature. Considering I signed up on this forum when I was 13, I would rather not look back at anything I wrote before 2006.

 

[shart1780]

Yeah but with these huge threads that grow so fast it's hard for me to find my last post and if anyone responded to me, so I usually just give up.

They do that and I never understand. They gave Mick Jagger's last solo effort 5 stars, and a recent Neil Young album "Silver and Gold" five stars. They seem to have not acknowledged that review after a number of others panned it.

Go to your profile, then go to statistics and it's there.

It has has something to do wth the fact that it's Neil Young and Jagger.
