Review is all accepteable, but I don't agree with this part " The lyrics don't hit home emotionally". But everybody has right to a different opinion.... :)

CFW this is gonna be a lame question but, who was that directed at? LoL
and AtreyuROCK no.. she isnt saying the lyrics arent great
"What's so attractive about these songs aren't really so much the words, but the music itself. The lyrics don't hit home emotionally. The music is what is resentful, pleading, melancholy, depressed, nostalgic and passionate. The music makes the album."
I think since she is talking about her opinion, she is saying they just dont hit her emotionally like MI or Hello does to us sometimes. She doesnt get teary eyed during those songs as some of us do...

Dude! They air Channel One in your school, too?! lol so I'm not the only one subjected to it!
They've played Taking Over Me, BMTL, MI...Hello...they've played alot of Ev lol. They didn't play any Ev today though..at least not that I heard. I usually don't pay attention to much of it, but my ears are always tuned to what music they play. I once stopped in the middle of a conversation to go like 'OMG THEY'RE PLAYING EV!' lol and my friend just laughed at me.
Well, I personally REALLY liked the review. Nice to know that whoever wrote the review feels the same way we do, especially concerning the new album (I, too, have complete confidence in Ev :)). The bit about the lyrics I don't agree with, but everything else, I do.
Good. So Channel One isn't completely beyond hope ;) lol. Thanks for posting!

Love the poll on the site there. ;)
We have Channel One too, but we're not forced to watch it. Most of the teachers just turn it off, and I usually have Quiz Bowl practice during that time.
Edit: Holy crap they have a Radiohead review! Right next to Kelly Clarkson, lol.

Yeah. There's Seth Doane, Errol Barnett, Alexandra Montoya, and Derrick Shore. Atleast last year there was.
My cousin won one of the Cell Phones too. I never got to see it though.

LOL! I'd prolly do that too! :p I feel the stares...when I walk thru the hall. Of course I'm wearing my ev shirts or wrist bands. And there's also a patch on my backpack...it's the focal point of the whole thing. How could anyone miss it? lol :) :cool:

Great review for them however i do believe that people connect with the meaning and lyrics of the songs as well. Some of them are so emotional and it just tears you up and you love and need more lol ;)

Channel one.. I'm glad they play Ev, we are forced to watch it at the end of the day, I'm not sure why, but we can't talk, and I love to talk, so if I can't talk let me listen to Ev or else! :mad: Katya, I like that poll too, I like the results of it more so.. ;)

I thought that they were kinda saying that the lyrics weren't all that great in this line:
If you listen to song for the lyrics, you won't appreciate this CD as much as someone who gets more from the music

The lyrics are what actually hits home to me o_O Sadly, I'm not a musician so I can't fully understand/appreciate the actual music as some people, so I suppose that's why the lyrics mean so much to me. It's a good review, apart from the lyrics part ;) Just because you can't relate. doesn't mean they're not emotional. I don't really connect with MI as much as a lot of you, but I still love it, especially for the lyrics.

Um, I am allowed to oppose an opinion with reasons , y'know. It's not like majorly pissed that the person who wrote it wrote what she did-if you didn't post this to see people's opinions on her review, what did you expect? Like I said, I couldn't care less about the review, and I understand that was her opinion, just like this is mine ;)
