    It is the policy of some newspapers, like the Washington Times and the New York Times, to use "Mr" as a sign of respect on second reference. It was not a choice by the writer meant to sound "smug" or "twatty."

    I was about to post the same comment. It is in the Style Book for Washington Times and the New York Times to use the "Mr." or "Miss" or "Mrs." title throughout the article. It doesn't look odd when the article is about, i.e., Mr. Obama or Mr. Einstein or Miss Aniston. It gets funny, though, when they refer, for example, to Axl as "Mr. Rose" or Snoop as "Mr. Dogg" :lol:

    a terrifying mix of U2 and CELINE DION!?!?!!?! AHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    I do agree that Celine is terrifying...

    It wasn't that long ago that the NYT applied this policy to the sports pages as well: "Mr. Manning threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns."

    To my knowledge, they've dropped that pretense when it comes to sports. At least common sense prevailed there.

    then the new york times and the washington times are smug and twatty.
  • "The End," the record's finger-picked closer, is embarrassingly sappy, as touchy-feely as a session with a New Age guidance counselor.

    Man, that just hurts. I have to wonder if this guy is not human. It's hard for me to hear bad words about this album in general because I am having such a positive reaction to it myself. I love every second of it, and I wouldn't change a fucking thing.

    the only thing I would change is the lyric "Johnny he be havin' lots of women" I don't know what I would change it to, but NOT THAT!!!!!

    Ha. I find something humorous about that line and it also conveys an idea that women are expendable to this Johnny character. But I hear you, we all will have our little foibles with certain things. I guess I don't really like the chorus to GSMF, but I wouldn't change it because music can sometimes be a house of cards.

    God damn people on this board are ridiculously funny. Or maybe it's just ridiculous.

    I mean, god forbid somebody have a difference of opinion. :roll: :roll: :roll:

    Just because a reviewer doesn't like the new album doesn't mean "ZOMG he's biased" "He knows nothing about music" "He's a hack" "LOL Washington Post" etc, etc.

    If you're even going to bother reading reviews (which I feel is pointless), you're going to have to accept that they may not all be good reviews or that they won;t necessarily share your opinions. This review is one man's opinion. Who cares?

    so if someone posts a bad review it'd be super interesting in terms of a message board for everyone to post "thanks" "ok" "cheers for posting" "read it"?

    Makes me happy, as you always want to be on the opposite side of the Washington Times.

  • "Supersonic" is at least peppy and ignorable - that is, until the thoroughly embarrassing breakdown, which aims for funky cool but ends up cringe-worthy.


    What the hell does this even mean. ME JOURNALIST WITH HUGE DIPLOMA. cringe-worthy huh? Dude you need to pull the stock radio out of that volvo you own and get some volume. TURN THIS UP AND HOLD ON TO YOUR NUTS. DIPLOMA GUY. I can bet he loved the new britney spears album.
