Metal Reviews

The semicolon indicates that "much the same" refers to both the beginning and ending songs - that is, all the best songs are forgettable. Notice "forgettable," not "substandard." The whole album is nothing special; if you want good melodeath, pick up some Dark Tranquillity. However, compared to, say, Soundtrack To Your Escape, it's pretty decent. That's what it means.

Well, taken in context it seems to refer to the previous songs u mentioned (and said nothing good about). Although I initially thought u just ment that "both of the songs are much the same"... Anyway, initially or secondiary (is there a word for this?) how could anyone know u are referring to the whole album there? :|
And I still don't understand how could the "forgettable blaa blaa" song beat the better ones in the beginning? Ofc I understand that for some reason u genuinely liked the song more, but based on the review that doesn't make anykind of sense! I just thought it was a goof!! :x

Now you've lost me. What are you saying?

Oh snap! The semi-colon separates the thought. New sentence, essentially (i.e. OWNED!) 8)

I don't think so, I explained it specifically here:



I understand her point, but to the reader and according to common understanding, my version is much more plausible. It's all in the way it is written. Should have said "..are much the like the rest of the album; ..." And your point would have actually come across

Except they're not like the rest of the album, they're like the first few songs, which are decent. The first paragraph was focusing on the good songs; I don't mention the rest of the album until the next paragraph.

OH SNAP²
