brilliant

this cd is fantastic. I heard of them from a friend, and thinking that they were gonna be some lame emo band (I mean c'mon. "vampire weekend." that just screams emo) I held them off for a later time. But as soon as I heard mansard roof (the first song) I immediately started bopping my head. I began to feel the mellow rythym of the music, much like I did with the strokes, except that vampire weekend has a much more reggae, new wave feel to it. I strongly recommend this cd to anybody who likes mandarin guitars, prestine drum beats, ingenious vocal strifes, "the strokes", reggae, punk, or just good music in general. :)
What's great about it: catchy, upbeat, creative
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

perverted comedy at its finest

Golden boy is the story of a young college dropout who quit college just before getting his law degree. As a dropout, he goes out into the world doing oddjobs hoping to learn more about the world. His jobs lead him to crazy adventures that involve beautiful women and emarrasing caught-in-the-act moments that will have you lauging-out-loud for hours and hours to come. The voice acting spectacular, and the animation is not bad for its time.
In conclusion, this is one of the best, if not the best, six episode anime I have ever seen; there are very few shows that have actually made me laugh-out-loud (I guess I'm not the lol type of guy) but this one had me laughing for quite a while. There is truly no better way to spend 15 dollars; this anime is a must have for any anime fan, or any fan of comedy period. :)
What's great about it: hilarious, voice acting, animation (for its time), affordable
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you've heard of taking back sunday, but never really bothered to purchase any of their albums, or are recently becoming a fan of the band; then this is a perfect album for you. These are definitely some of the better songs taking back sunday has to offer along with 2 great songs that had not previously been released in past albums. If you want to enjoy the mainstream songs then you should pick up this album, but if you want to experience taking back sunday at its finest then I would strongly recommend you aquire the album "tell all your friends". :)
What's great about it: great compilation with unknown tracks
What's not so great: some of the albums are better
I would recommend this to a friend!

mediocre

after 2 years of anxious anticipation, avenged sevenfold's fourth album is finally released, and after years of fanship; I lament to say that I am not impressed. Very much like atreyu, a7x's albums are all very different, and just like atreyu's fourth album a7x's newest album is exploring new genres of music and adapting them to their own style. Although this does give the band creativity credit, it also creates a chance for failure. This new project is not all bad; the guitar is still there and some of the songs have irregularly catchy melodies("dear god"), but after awhile they all begin to sound like critical acclaim with different lyrics; compared to waking the fallen and city of evil this album lacks serious structure and style. In conclusion, if you're a veteran a7x fan, you should add this to your collection (just to complete it). If you are not a big fan of the band; save yourself 14 bucks aand go put some gas in the car. :)
What's great about it: diverse, guitar solos, creative
What's not so great: repetitive, unfamiliar, dissapointing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

overrated

Evangelion is constantly referred to as the best or one of the best anime's of all time, and tho it is great, it is certainly not the best anime of all time.
The characters fit in perfectly with the story line, and the voice actors do a pretty good job in becoming their roles. The remastered audio and video sure make things a lot more visually pleasant. The main concept in this anime, as you can conclude from the title, is the end of the world. If you are a fan of the apocalyptic or just plain giant living organisms that resemble mecha duking it out in a futuristic tokyo; then this anime is definitely for you. If you are not the drama type, or not an enthusiast of complex storylines; then you will more than likely not enjoy this work of art.
On a side note, this box set is not entirely complete; it contains the t.v aired 26 episodes, but it does not contain the final two episodes that truly explain (in third person) what occurs in the end of evangelion. :D
What's great about it: characters, storyline, giant mecha
What's not so great: not complete
I would recommend this to a friend!

best anime of 2007

This is without a doubt the best anime of 2007. The storyline is pure genious, the characters are all fascinating in their own way, and the plot sequence is clever enough to keep even the smartest person baffled. Every episode leaves your heart pounding begging for the next episode to appear. The voice acting is also pretty decent if I may add. Bottome line, if you're an anime fan, you can not, I repeat CAN NOT pass of this anime. :D
What's great about it: suspense, style, characters, clever
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

mezmerizing

I was worried this cd was going to dissapoint me when I first put it in my car stereo, but fortunately serj managed to delight my earbuds once again. If you are a fan of system of a down you will find that this album is very different, but not at all in a bad way. Serj displays complete mastery of his unique vocals along with his talents as both a composer and a musician. If you're looking for a cd to bang heads to or something to relax to in your room; this cd diversifies between hard and soft rock, similar to mezmorize and hypnotize.
In summary, if you're a fan of system of a down (or just good music), you must add this cd to your collection. :)
What's great about it: amazing vocals, fantastic use of piano, divine melodies
What's not so great: none

Beautifully disturbing

This is an anime classic, and any action fan's fantasy. The main character is in short words the "John macClane" of anime. He doesn't take attitude from anybody, he's strong but silent, and he can take on a small army by himself. Keep in mind this anime does contain enough gore to fill up a small lake; so if blood isn't really your thing, you might wanna sit this one out. In summary, if you're looking for the best in action, a great plotline, and buckets of gore, you must buy this anime :)
What's great about it: action, gore, storyline, character, action, action, action
What's not so great: no comic relief
I would recommend this to a friend!
