You're probably failed music bloggers. Anyway, next time I do a review for TLOBF, I'm not agonizing over the score like I normally do. It's either 0% or 100%. I want my own thread on DiS.

You should know better. They're not a great band of course, the record's mediocre, but i'd rather read an honest constructive review than this piss. Reminds me of the muppets over at Pitchdork giving records stupidly low scores because the bands concerned dare to be mildly popular. What a silly review, Tom. You should know better.

I also gave a 100% to Johnny Foreigner! (sort of) These scores aren't the law, you know. :D Hehe.

This review, however... a Whyman too far, maybe. In Tom’s defence, the 100% he gave was to Brighten the Corners, and completely justified.

I appreciate the entertainment value, but a 'but seriously folks' score at the end would give more credibility and stop TLOBF being dismissed out of hand. No biggy though :-) Didn’t you give a 100% score a while back too?

You've just opened yourself up to red-rag chasing WL groupies suggesting you're "blinded by jealousy and lack of real talent". It did make me laugh though.

You must be some sort of failed musician who cannot let go of your lost dreams of success, and therefor must trash anyone who attains what you could not. Here's an idea, instead of critiquing the band for your preconceived notions about them, why not instead just focus on the music. And 0%? Come on, that's not fair. You should be above being so petty and nasty. Taken down a peg? What is your problem? They are just doing what they love, and you are a little weasel harping on them because you are blinded by jealousy and lack of real talent. Oh yeah, your prose sucks too. Learn to write!

White Lies are getting way too much hype, yes, but to mention only a couple of lyrics, then proceed to give the thing a zero and call them a bunch of stuck up cunts? Are you angling for a job at the NME? Wow!

Are you angling for a job at the NME?
