 Post subject: Dakota Fanning-ish mature childhood...Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 10:40 am 
article. The writer states he hates Eisley so much that he loves them... interesting read. http://www.thesop.org/index.php?id=8042 _________________ Day whipped his black dray, Opaque orphan of Ring |

"Although I will say this of Eisley: definitely do not need more cowbell. But so versatile and innovative are they that I wouldn’t be surprised if that instrument was added to their repertoire on the inevitable third album… and make it rawk!" == I laughed.

i was starting to yawn in the first part, because that sort of thing was so common with early reviews of Eisley, but I did chuckle at the second part. "I can write and rave about Eisley until the world ends… but you still wouldn’t really understand. Like The Matrix, no one can be told what it is… you have to see it for yourself. In this case, hear it." Might use that analogy myself (for other things) _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Interesting. But I believe one must set a foot in many spheres of music to fully grasp the universal power of inspiration and musical harmony. _________________ http://www.eisley-italia.tk ! "Δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω"

"I can write and rave about Eisley until the world ends… but you still wouldn’t really understand. Like The Matrix, no one can be told what it is… you have to see it for yourself. In this case, hear it." I get how he feels. I never know how to explain Eisley's music without resorting to flowery language that doesn't do it justice. I'm pretty much reduced to saying Eisley good. _________________ Kulvir. |

That website is awful. That badly compressed .jpg of the band is awful. That guy's writing is awful. He seriously gives student publications a bad name, and that's saying something. I will now dissect it mercilessly. Unaware of the intended purpose of music reviews, Mr. Stubblefield wrote: Why focus on a particular album or concert or tour, when we can immerse ourselves in the whole Eisley phenomenon? To limit ourselves to only one facet would omit too much. Well, because you're supposed be reviewing Combinations, not giving us a summary of Eisley's members and jabbering on like a complete moron about things that everyone else in the industry has already written about (far more competently, to boot). Someone I would never ever hire if I worked at a newspaper wrote: Maybe the magicalness or magicality or magicity of this band has something to do with the law of fives? Dude, PICK ONE. We don't need to see the process of composition happen in the actual article. This is supposed to be a finished product, not word-vomit. Same goes for this: Desperate to meet his minimum word count, this hack wrote: Poetics aren’t enough… aren‘t good enough, aren‘t sufficient enough. It's enough to say "enough". You don't have to quantify it, especially not by using a phrase like "sufficient enough," which is redundant. Christopher Walken wrote: Although I will say this of Eisley: definitely do not need more cowbell. Because when you have absolutely nothing meaningful to say about the band's music, you should refer to a tired music joke that's not even really a joke, in addition to being seven years old. Why don't you just say that Eisley really "crank it up to eleven"? That'll impress your readers with your hipness and up-to-date dry humor. Please kill me now wrote: More probable, their unique vision, vitality and vibrance derives from an intrinsic and ineffable essence manifested in the Combinations of personalities, family and talents to create beautiful Room Noises. Oh my God. Oh my God, I just can not express how disgusted I am by that sentence. Oh God. And the best part: Captain Contradiction wrote: Reviews of Eisley tend to use flowery and evocative language… but I know better. Actually, you clearly don't. I'm all for loving Eisley. I'm all for shouting that love from the rooftops. But this kind of meaningless fluff is just wasting everyone's time. It's really sad that even when Eisley get a truly positive review, the writing is crap. Maybe someday, someone with an ounce of talent will attempt to give an Eisley album the objective, balanced critique it deserves. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Creepiest. Picture. Ever. I'm sure she's a sweet girl, but right there she looks like she's about to shoot lasers out of her eyes. Or possibly tell a police officer that you killed a guy and buried him in the back yard. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

you just made me think of something: they should cast Dakota Fanning in The Bad Seed remake! 'course, she's a bit too old (isn't the girl supposed to be, like, 8?), and it's being directed by Eli Roth so it's going to suck no matter what they do, but, still… it'd be awesome… |

Ooh I found her adorable in Charlotte's Web to the extent that I did buy the dvd. But I prefer Anna-Sophia Robb she looks like a pixie hehe  _________________ http://www.eisley-italia.tk ! "Δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω"
