Spoof Album Reviews

neverthesame · 12-08-2010, 06:17 PM

Found this on a Soundgarden forum...
The Album Slate

Bitterly negative reviews of classic albums, some very funny (at least I think so), some fairly deranged. Seems to be a great sign-off at the end of each one though - e.g. for Californication - "Calidefecation", for Angel Dust - "Angel dung".

Funny too to see some of the comments left on the reviews from people who totally missed the joke.

It's obvious the albums he chooses to "review" he considers classics, so I really love this guy for his taste in music.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is the sophomore effort from fabled troubadour Bob Dylan, a man who carved the template for cynical and soul-less exploitation of the masses. Perhaps the first manufactured music star, every aspect of his artistic persona was calculated to elevate him to folk-hero status.

Sometimes calculated and sarcastic criticism is more hilarious than sincere and inept criticism.

Those reviews are really funny, a bit off the wall but very entertaining. The sign-offs are brilliant. Seems fairly eclectic in it's targets too, slating nirvana, jimi hendrix and bruce springsteen on the same site

Plastic Ono Band finds former mop-top John Lennon striking out "on his own" for the first time on what is widely described as his "primal scream" album

"Primal Scream album"

I have to remember that.
