You sound like an English teacher having a bad day. Or are you an English teacher? I do feel offended, but i will take more care next time. Sorry World!!

No, I'm not a teacher and I definitely didn't mean to offend but it pains me to see that you obviously put a lot of effort into that review. I like the way your thoughts flow. I just hate to see it ruined by distracting grammar and spelling.
It's kind of like if somebody took your favorite book and made it into a movie with bad actors. It doesn't mean that the ideas behind it weren't good, but the presentation could've been so much better.

thanks!! Yeah i know i need to spot the flaws in my work, it was rushed and uncordinated. I wrote it on a time limit, before going to College. I have been published, but this is one of my less appealing reviews in terms of grammer and spelling. I wrote it in 10 minutes!!! thanks again.

This is a bad sentence. It's not "always discussed." I would change that to "often" - even that's not true, though.

Is are?

You need to use "their", not "there". And I think you mean "they damn well could be," not "they well damn could be."


I'm not going to even challenge the use "portal of instrumental music," though it makes no sense. What I will take issue with is your statement that Green Day are anti-American. I have a feeling they wouldn't agree with you. Do you even know what the album is about? It's about G.W. Bush (the American Idiot) and his fear-mongering via post-9/11 hysteria. It's anti-Bush, not anti-American.


Need grammar check here and I wouldn't use "mellow softening" it's kind of a redundant adjective.


Need spellcheck, and you need to use "is" instead of "are".

There are too many errors in the rest of your review to go into.
This was a good effort - next time read over your review a few times to eliminate the errors, use spell-check and grammar check.

Aside from that, I do agree with you. I don't believe Green Day is one of the best bands of all time, but I do think American Idiot is one of the best albums of all time.

I loved it when I first listened to the album but now it's just collecting dust at the record store I sold it to.
