Heya, contrary to your own deluded opinion of yourself, you are NOT the next big music critic the country will see so keep your ill-thought out opinions to yourself and stick to selling records like your sposed to. There's a good chap/chapess.

LOL! Any reason for this? I always enjoy reading their descriptive write ups!

If by 'descriptive write up' you mean 'two paragraphs of babble that describe nothing of the tune other than the writers opinion' then yes, I agree, I massively enjoy it.
Ah it's good to moan.

Yeah I sent them my latest MP3 of me tickling a baboon and all they said was "sounds like a chimp laughing", for god's sake- DO THEY NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?!

They do chat the biggest load of shite i have ever read though. Still very funny. And it's kinda nice they are so enthusiastic.

"Head straight for the Platician/Skream remix on the flipside of this twelve, another shocking alignment of bass dexterity and percussive determination from these two gifted producers. The original vocal makes an appearance half way through the mix, but the transitions and drops are handled with immense attention to detail and the kind of precision engineering that would fray at the seems in the hands of any lesser producers. Solid stuff - limited copies!"
I dunno........... I kinda like their opinions

Quality shop, but what's with the weekly mention of the
'formulaic rubbish that passes for dubstep these days'
when they're bigging up the weeks 'crucial' 'limited' 'must have' 12's?
As far as I can see, they've stocked everything
that's come out of the scene for the last few years
and creamed themselves over most of it... so where's all this
shite they're keeping from us?

I like 'em. They seem to know their stuff. Better than your average record shop. I just spent half an hour listening to stuff on there - it's an experience.
They have their thing and they stick to it. I reckon it works.

Well known and much in demand for his prolific and occasionally mildly amusing posts at online scene hub dubstepforum.com Jubscarz latest sees him delving into the area known by those in the know as the 'diss-post' and he doesn't disappoint with this finely aimed missive going squarely to the heart of sales blurb passing itself off as music criticism. Don't sleep.

To be fair some of their opinions are pretty harsh, but as a record stockist i think they're pretty decent and the site is very user friendly

I dunno, i never seem to be able to see the dubstep section, if they even have one. Seems like everything is clutterd together to me.

I think it might be theraputic if we all post up some of the more ridiculous phrases.
Rogue State is pretty straightedge, we were both suprised when 'Root of all Evil' was described as representing the narcotic end of the dubstep spectrum. We probaby got off lightly!

i dunno, i think their reviews are just being very honest, that's all.

I got the same message regarding an lp I was trying to order. I sort of thought it was their way of being humouristic or so.
