    I saw the title and closed it. I'm scared to read it. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ay Impy, great album that is <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    The review was nice and all, but only thing bothering me was the song by song-review. I'd be more pleased to read a review as a whole instead of having a background and info about every each song. Maybe make the song reviews as one, and lessen the in-depth info per song-material. Just my 2 cents impy, great review, great album <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'd say that the word 'technicality' was overused. A bunch. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> 'Technical prowess' might have substituted, or you might have wanted to rewrite a few segments to avoid the word entirely. It doesn't fit with the rest of the writing style, and sticks out like a sore (skinned) thumb.

    I think this music genre is hilariously bad, but I digress.

    As for the review, there's some good language feature use here; alliteration, vivid adjectives etc but there's too much repetition of certain words as Talesin rightly said.
    Some parts grammatically don't make sense and sound like sheer nonsense, such as the capitalised (for no apparent reason) "Sick Depth". It kind of reads like a parody, but that's because I can't take this stuff seriously <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    I wouldn't give so many 10/10s either, it makes the album seem too perfect whereas a 9/10 promotoes excellence but leaves the audience feeling that there are greater heady heights to strive to.

    Hope that helps.

    I don't think I should even quote it, but one line in particular had me roffling. It was something about the way the drummer hit the drums. Or rather, violated his drumset sexually.

    You used some amazing metaphors in there, Impy, I'll say that. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well i saw a different review, with similar format , and throught it really helped break the album down... maybe it wasnt the best way i coulda done it.... but i felt it help differenciate the songs

    This review has inspired me! Here's my take on some ace tunes!

    <b>Badly Drawn Boy - All Possibilities</b>
    This is perhaps the most technical track of Have You Fed The Fish?, and perhaps one of the best songs you've ever scene (herd)! 10/10!

    <b>Feeder - Remember the Silence</b>
    The eloquence of this majestic aural triumph is superseded only by its technical splendour! 10/10!

    <b>Eels - Susan's House</b>
    Male teenage nudity - best experienced in musical monologue! 10/10!
