My favorite was a review of the Tender Fury album "If Anger Were Soul, I'd Be James Brown".? The review was "If shit were money, Tender Fury would be rich."

Very very funny.

My favorite review of all time is JD Considine's review of an album by the Steve 
Howe/Steve Hackett supergroup GTR.? It simply read "SHT."

That is always a red herring for me. To play LIKE Tom Verlaine is to be NOT
like Tom Verlaine, at all. It's a case of the guitarist being too close to Tom
Verlaine he's an imitator, too far from him...a waste of my time.

It's better
to say "Nipples explode when they play guitar." That will catch my attention.
Reminds me of the Spin review of Last Exit's "Iron Path." That was the most
over-the-top, hilarious review of their sound that I had that record within an
hour. I have it here with me on my iPod after all this time...

Well,
fuck. I found the review:


Chuck Eddy said this was the 268th best metal
album of all time and this:
In Sand Dancer, Sharrock, the most seismic
axmonster on earth,
Einsteins on the bitch, makes your head spin in hirstute
swirls. Eye
for an Eye is where Piggy from Voivod goes to church in
dimension
Hatross and the congregations all mammoths with their fat butts
stuck
in the pews. Theyre getting their wool shaved off, Sonnys making wild
electronic noise as if hes vacuuming up fur left over from the last
Ice Age.
The album ends with the drummer repeatedly booting you in the
teeth with
steel-tipped construction-worker shoes. This is jazz, by
the way.

<ranting
old man>
various bloggers who say: so_and_so plays guitar/sings like Tom
Verlaine.
I'm ranting I guess - it just seems like comparing some unknown
musician
with Tom Verlaine,in some capacity, is the flavor of the week. And it
ticks
me off ;-)
Anyone else out there tired of this phenomenon?
