Big Yawn is a Joke

I'll review it:
 
 I wasn't thrilled with the cd at all but hearing the same songs live, was very impressed, maybe more than impressed.
 
 Short, sweet and barely to the point, I'm sure.

I like to go to the man in charge. Plus I'm sick of the hot-shot attitude like some folks on here are so in-touch and know so much about music, when you don't know shit. [/QB]

HEY HEY HEY, HOLD ON THERE MISSY!!!!!
 
 When it comes to music I most definately do know shit.
 
 Actually, on the subject of alt-country...there was an article in the Irish Examiner last week trying to educate people on what exactly, "alt-country" is. I got through about 6 words then the attentiion span was gone.

I'm glad this review clears up exactly WHY this album finished 10 places higher than the Drive By Truckers on the BigYawn best of list.
 
 Adam Richman left college at the George Washington University after his freshman year to pursue his dream of being a rock star and getting his musical voice heard. I bet most of us can think of half a dozen people we know personally who have similar stories, but what's really amazing is that Adam Richman is really doing it ... and it's paying off. After independently releasing his debut album Two in 2001 and tirelessly touring colleges nationwide for the last three years, Richman is finally seeing his dream come true. After releasing his latest independent album Patience & Science, in which he plays every instrument, sings every vocal track, and produced and recorded everything himself, the world is finally starting to take notice of this young new musical star. He has recently signed on with OR Records and they have re-released a number of tracks from Richman's latest album as The Patience EP, which is the precursor for Richman's upcoming full-length major label debut, to be released sometime early this year.

Hey Rhett, why do you even bother paying attention to what BigYawn has to say if you find so much wrong with it?  There are dozens of other music review sites on the internet.

[sonickteam2]

it is the most highly predictable top 50 ever.

I believe he'll say that the constitution gives him the free right to.

I'm a completist when it comes to reading end of year music lists. Isn't everyone?
 
    I will give BY credit. They are the only list to include this Adam Richman dude, even if the review sounds like it was written by a street teamer or close personal friend of Mr. Richman.

True enough, it says nothing about his music.

One thing that I found interesting to me is how my tastes totally veered from what was popular with critics this year. Typically, there are always a couple of albums universally revered by critics that were also revered by me. Not this year. Anyway, blah blah blah.

[thirsty moore]

There was an album out last year or two years ago by Nada Surf that some of my friends -- who have excellent taste -- liked but was generally disliked by critics.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, that album is a great makeout/sex album, imo. Most music critics probably don't get that kind of opportunity.

?
 Everyone pretty much had the same lists this year. (Except for the list I found that included Hillary Duff & Ashlee what's her name Simpson.)
 In my opinion '04 wasn't the greatest for new albums, so what did I expect?
 Or, like Rhett said, list of albums revered by critics. I actually liked the BY list as it had a few ranks that other lists did not. The top ten wasn't so surprising, but hey, at least the other 40 had a few obscure mentions I'm going to check out.
