It doesn't suck, thankfully. I think the pacing is a little rushed at points, but the character development is solid, the action scenes are visceral, the drama between Kaz, Huma, Magius, Rennard, and Oswald is still solid, and the ending is so goddamn sad. Before Knaak became obsessed with the minotaurs, he was…

And the great thing is that Weis and Hickman were good enough writers to know that going in. How Raistlin abuses her throughout the course of the series is framed perfectly in how Crysania should really have fucking known better.

I stand by the fact Tanis should have a three-some with Laurana and Kit and gotten the fuck over it. Hell, when Kitiara and Laurana were interacting on the High Clerist's Tower, they had some smolder (even though Kit had just killed the father of her child, but still…).

Stepping in as a huge Dragonlance fan, who may have over fifty of the books and who considers 'War Of The Twins' his favourite book of all time, let me chime in on this discussion:

Wrong, three moons, for each of the three children of the gods. Solinari the white moon, Lunitari the red moon, and Nuitari the black moon, a moon that only the Black Robes can see.

And he will never, ever write a song as good as that.

Here's the thing about American Idiot that exasperates me, and it's probably giving Billie Joe Armstrong too much credit and certainly more than he deserves, but I get the feeling that some of the more political tracks he wrote for that album weren't intended to be insightful political statements. The album focuses on…

And the infuriating part of all this is that Sturgill Simpson, one of the most promising talents in the indie country, dropped 'Metamodern Sounds In Country Music' just yesterday which was a damn close to perfect fusion of psychedelic rock and outlaw country and will likely be one of the best albums of the year - but…

Dude, Chumbawamba is awesome, no need to apologize for it. The band was around for 30 years, made some fantastic anarcho-punk music, and then capped off their career with a pretty damn solid full-length musical. Forget guilty pleasure, this is a band I'll actually defend all-out.

If there's one good thing to come out of this, it's this: that's the most gangsta I've seen Snoop Dogg sound in years. Goddamn, that was satisfying.

Lol, agree to disagree, then. Not going to deny Future is doing something that gives him a unique sound, I just don't think it works all that well.

Let me get this out of the way quickly before I crash:

Because Mike Will Made It's disjointed and increasingly creepy brand of synths has no flow and frequently makes the luxury rap he's selling come across as slimy and not at all opulent or powerful?

See, it was the exact opposite for me - coming from the mess of the production on We Are Renegades, I thought some of the guitar and bass melodies of PTSD were fucking great, and if you can get sucked into the thematic progression of the record, it's potent. 'Losing My Mind', 'Damage', 'The Jungle', 'Broken Again' (if…

Damn straight it is, if it means I'll be listening to Pharoahe Monch and Ratking and Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist/Evidence collaboration over this bunk.

Okay, seriously? The guy who brags about spending a quarter of a million dollars on a handjob and features both some of the worst autotune, production and lyrics in hip-hop gets the same ranking as Freddie Gibbs and Madlib?

And a director/cinematographer who knows how to hold a fucking camera would help as well.

Frankly, I'm shocked he hasn't done TV yet. Bit of a shame, too, I could see him doing really well on shows like The Good Wife, Suits, or hell, maybe even The Newsroom. His brand of fast-talk lawyer would probably be a decent fit for Sorkin dialogue.

23. Aaron Eckhart.

As a music critic, goddamn it I wish I could agree with you here. But you can tell that they aren't always getting top-of-the-line producers, especially if they're signed to a Christian label, which means the overall balance of the mix or texture in the sound can really suffer.
