Which review does eveyone think is the best? The type of review you would want to show to a non-fan or casual fan to get them envigorated about the new album. or simply the review that speaks to you the fan the most.

As I post this I am pretty trashed, but off the top of my head I remember the Lowell Sun review being excellent.

maybe we can get together a top 3 reviews for the new pearl jam album. They don't necessarily have to be positive just the most informed and poignant.

I'm a big fan of the Rolling Stone review. It's reputable and well written.

The three most important reviews are:
Rolling Stone
All Music Guide
NY Times
Spin when it comes out

Like I said before, if J Records is smart they will do one of those full page ads with all of the good reviews.

You forgot the :arrow: .

It might be a positive review, but I won't even wipe my ass with RS.

I thought the Pop Matters review was great, and also the one from 101comics or something like that...

popmatters was my favorite, although it's not one of the most important.

Whatever you think of it, it holds a lot of clout with the music world. A lot of casual music fans look to it for their reviews.

I worked too hard on that sticky thread for you to say that.

Your work is admirable, Stip. I just hate reviews because every reviewer seems to have an agenda. Peter Travers is the only reviewer I trust, but unfortunately he only reviews movies.

The guy actually compared "Inside Job" to "Stairway to Heaven"...eye-rolling emoticon simply does not do the job here.


And... exactly what war is he referring to that occured opposite Vs. and Vitalogy. The only war then was Ed's battle with fame...which is essentially what Vitalogy was about.

And...frickmeister, there's no such word as "alot". Frickin' IDIOT.
