" Somehow I knew she had it in her; all the faux nihilism of Unter Null was merely an act. Beneath the stage blood and personahood there was a thoughtful countenance full of potential. "Abuse by Proxy" is a beautiful, stark album of emotional disconnection and vehement pleading for completion. ( Read more... )

Nice, but at the same time I think the cheap shots re: Unter Null are b.s....

Criticizing U.N. for representing an "alter-ego" or "faux nihilism" is like criticizing John Woo for using too many bullets and slow-mo shots. In other words, true, but that's the beauty of it all!

Yea. Given this review here:
http://www.releasemagazine.net/Onrecord/oruntenullsa.htm

I feel there's some sort of hidden angenda or hurt feelings. Anyway, I don't feel I have to prove myself (musically, or otherwise) to anyone but myself :)
Obviously, someone enjoys taking cheap shots.!

ahh! that review is typical garbage...I can imagine the author reviewing Beethoven's 3rd Symphony:

"BaBah BAH! swooping violins! triumphant cymbals! I don't know why anyone would fall for this bombastic boredom, but it sucks! Mozart could do this in his sleep...in fact, I think he has!"

:/

if one simply rejects an entire genre, better to just stick to saying that, instead of trying to apply standards from another context to something you which one dismisses the very premise of.

Nice review but like already said..

It’s so sad that some people still don’t get that music comes from the heart and soul.
And keeping that in mind every album or even song will be a reflection that is if you make music just for making music and you’re not writing commercial crap.
Give me 200 people on a dance floor really digging what the song is about and feeling it over a good review any day =)

I don't think it is possible to use the word "bejeweled" in a sentence and not sound like a douchebag. This entire review is a pompous community college attack on the English language.

But, it is good to be appreciated, even by douchebags.
