Couldn't agree more it really doesn't; that's why it's posted on a free internet review website and not in UNCUT magazine.

And surely since this is just my opinion, as I say in the review, that it really does not matter what I think. If you listen to it and like it then good for you. That is the beauty about music. It's a bit lame looking people up online just to call them lame because you don't like that fact that not everyone likes the same music as you. There's probably loads of stuff that I like that you don't and trust me, I'm really not fussed.

So good one.

P.S I'd love to know what you think of their EP.

To give a review of any artist you have to be unbiased. If you don't like that type of music to start with then you shouldn't review it. Same with all genres.

The only reason i looked you up was to see if this was your job, a music critic. Which would make this fine. But since your in a band also, i find it a bit low for a musician to give another musician a review. Let alone a damaging one.

Re: Purple Melon - Melon Music [EP]
 

If that was true hardly anything would get reviewed! Difference in opinion happens all the time - just look at the Oasis or Kings Of Leon reviews on here. The reviewer didn't like it and others did including myself. This review is well written and puts over what this reviewer thought of this band and I think that's fair enough. Why not do your own review of this and post it in this thread if you disagree so much with what is being said to show people another perspective but don't slag a man for his opinions. You love them, he hates them and nothing you say will change that.

That's completely not true. Why should musicians not review other musicians? I'm sure there are loads of people in bands writing on this site - standard. Also the point of a review is to assess the music. And this is what I do. Within the review I discuss musical aspects, instrumentation, comparisons to existing and successful acts and more - the personal opinion is what brings it all together. It does not matter if you don't like what I got to say as you can chose not to agree with it. Your point suggetsing that if a music critic had written it then it would be ok, but if a musician had then it wouldn't is pretty weak as well. Since this website exists to give a great many (unpaid) people the chance to review music you have to expect that you are not going to get official music critics because they get paid for their work. The fact that you looked me up and brought up that I was a musician although I make no mention of that on the page, on my profile or within the review suggests a great lack of professionalism from you.

You read a review to find out one person's opinion. I said within in the review that I'm sure some people will love it, I'm sorry that I can't get into and that all music deserves a fair crack. On the whole I think I was pretty fair. I'm not even sure why you care so much. Is this your band by any chance?

Isn't everyone in a band these days anyway?

OMGZZZZ I LOVE your band! Didn't you try to slit your wrists the other day 'cause your mum tried to throw away your old skool nintendo? I read it in emo-weekly.

First there was Kramer Vs Kramer.......Now there's James Vs James.

It makes me laugh when bands or people linked to bands, register on here as soon as they see a review of their band, just so they can promote/defend them.

Funny.

Re: Purple Melon - Melon Music [EP]
 

I know man, it happens a lot. The funny thing is it's always blatant when it happens too.

Re: Purple Melon - Melon Music [EP]
 

Yeah you would think they would have the little intelligence it takes to at least be a bit more subtle.
