Metal Up Your Ass and all that Jazz Room V2

Thanks for the feedback, everybody! 

@Dan - I just use the camera on my phone (Droid RAZR). Not great, but it gets the job done!

@Jonas - I do plan on doing some negative reviews at some point, but right now I want to stick to albums I enjoy, just to establish what sort of music I enjoy right off the bat. And, yes, you're right about the respectful tone - to clarify my position, this means acknowledging quality musicianship/production/songwriting even if it doesn't suit my interests, and never insulting the musicians on a personal level (unless they subscribe to a hateful ideology of some sort). Reviews are mostly subjective, of course, but pointing out objective quality is a priority in my reviews.

...and yesterday I reviewed an album that you might be familiar with.



I'll create a thread about my Youtube stuff in the blog section of the forum  in the near future so I don't interfere with this thread too much.

Keep in mind too that I don't mind lighter tone and lack of hyperbole, I do though have a problem with:
A) people describing the album in a neutral tone and then saying that they simply don't like it at the end.
B) flooding their review with so many qualifying phrases that their credibility becomes questionable.

Did get to see the Santa Monica Pier, Rodeo Drive and well...just drove around Beverly Hills to see a couple of the big ass mansions there. Actually not the most interesting things in the world, but I had to see the giraffe and tell back home I lived to see them

^Great video review Jeff. Interesting to hear your voice.

Nevermind, you may have said Mark but it sort of sounded like Martin.

I decided 'why the hell not?', and decided to make a channel and video today.



Some screw-ups, but I think it turned out OK. I'll try and make a few more videos in the near future and hopefully improve a little bit.

(and if everybody could go and 'like' the video, that's always appreciated )

I'd watch it.

They are. Sucks that nearly all their releases are on cassettes. Their stuff really needs to get a re-release.
