Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I agree with I HATE DONKEYS to some extent. The AV Club reviewers have pretty vanilla taste in rock music, but this album was actually pretty cool. And the singer has a sweet accent.

What compels people to routinely insult critics like this? Calm down, you look like a dick.

Well, CD's are virtually useless, and the digital download is sixteen freaking dollars, so unless you don't have a turntable I can't see any reason why you wouldn't order the vinyl.

That ain't true… listen to it again. I'm not saying you have to like it, but there's definitely a build-up of textural layers. Listen to it LOUD, obviously. Reminded me of a more to-the-point Glenn Branca track.

I like that one because it has a really Crypt Keeper-y feel to it. Like "Maid in ManHACKtan"

I'm certainly not saying that the guys couldn't write a great tune on their own. Their early stuff is fantastic, it just sounds much more conventional than the two Hannett-produced albums. So their recognition as the post-punk visionaries of their age over bands like Wire, Pere Ubu, etc. seems to be partly due to dumb…

They were a good band and definitely had some neat idiosyncrasies, but from every report I've read, it seems like the driving force behind their "revolutionary" ideas was Martin Hannett. Before he came into the picture, they were just a punk band with depressing lyrics.

Yeah I hate when people say this. I'm white and grew up in a town full of racist bumfuck hicks, and I can assure you that they deserve every insult available.

I too use LINUX and can attest that you're all incorrect, and Windows 7 actually sucks. I'm also available to discuss my militant veganism/atheism should any of you be interested.

Are you shitting me? Isn't he gay? Or am I thinking of the guys from Coil?

DONK. DONK. DONK. CRACK!

What is everyone smoking? I love that Mitchell and Webb look, but Peep Show is a thousand times better, and has been since season 1. FLOSS IS BOSS

I went to college for computer science and got a lot of flak for using a mac, which all my friends generally refer to as the "shiny idiot-box". I still unabashedly love my old Macbook with Snow Leopard, but I feel like Lion was Apple's attempt to retroactively legitimize all the mean stuff that Windows users used to…

It's a face that just screams "hand over the crack".

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he screams, in the agony of knowing that he must now live behind an expressionless black mask. His wife is dead, as is his soul. He is consumed by pain and evil. His medichlorians are off the scale.
