So Far...So Bad...Wait? what?

Although it featured a new drummer and guitarist, So Far, So Good...So What! was a disappointment after the violent precision of Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? While there are some fine tracks, like "In My Darkest Hour," the album lacks focus and is marred by such ill-conceived songs as "Hook In Mouth" and a boneheaded cover of "Anarchy in the U.K." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Wow no offense stephen thomas but when it comes to thrash you dont know shit. Hook in mouth is an awesome song about the treachery of censorship and while punk and thrash bands dont seem to go to good together i thought the cover was pretty good and worst of all he says its a disapointment compared to peace sells... This is just as good as Peace Sells if not better and you failed to mention other great songs like set the world afire.
i found this terrible review while shopping for vinyls and cassetes. It was on Barnes and nobles website if you disagree as much as i do go post a review for it on the website.

I fail to see what the point of this "discussion" is. That's how the world works, not everybody has to agree with you. All you have to do is tolerate other people's tastes and respect their opinions.

The world doesn't revolve around your personal taste, and so making this a topic is just stupid.

Thats true. I rspect that but my point is if someones going to buy a vinyl or a cassete and they see that review, do you think they would wanna buy it anymore? In my opinion its a great album and doesnt stray to far from theyre style and alot of people agree. therefore their should be a positve review but also stating the cons of the album.

I do see what you're saying, but trust me... intelligent people WILL take others' opinions into consideration (the reviewer's opinion, in this case), but will also try it out for themselves. In today's world we have it easy, you no longer HAVE to buy or borrow something in order to listen to it, we have Youtube and other internet sites that stream songs. That's what I do anyway... I read a review and take it into consideration so long as it is explained well, but I also listen for myself later on to form my own opinion.

I hope this clears things up a little more. And yes, I agree... it's one hell of an album.

I definitley agree. I guess i was just a little pissed off. Im biased against anyone who doenst love the oh so awesome thrash riffs and great growls of mustaine.

It's cool man. By the way, my RESPECT for being so mature at age 14. Shit man, if more 14-year-olds were like you the world would be more tolerable. I was not nearly even remotely close to being so knowledgeable about metal at your age.
