I hope this kicks off, because it can be a pretty good thread. Review anything you want, or rate anything you want, or do both! Music, movies, games - even a website. Though I guess it should comply with whatever rules the compendium has...if any.
I wont constrict you to a certain rating system, so post a rating system and I'll edit it into this thread with your username next to it, and a number. Or, you can choose someone elses. In the end, no matter what you choose, all reviews should have a rating system number at the top. I'll give you and example at the bottom of this post.
This is probably going to die out slowly, or just not get any posts. I hope not, because this can be a valuable contribution to the site. Anyway, here we go...

IN RAINBOWS - Radiohead
Radiohead decided to target both of their audiences with Hail to the Thief, mixing electronic beats with modern rock basics. It was a bit of a hit and miss, and though generally good, was disappointing with regards to previous albums. In Rainbows is a step back to both Kid A and Ok Computer, with crooning vocals and climating atmospheric songs, brilliant electronic beats, and mixing the ambient and glitchy effects with rock far better than HttT. However, it sets itself apart from Ok Computer with more jazzy melodies and interesting experimentation. Songwriting is not as good as Ok Computer, but this is acceptable as Thom Yorke's vocals are far greater in use as an instrument, rather than a storytelling medium. Hail Radiohead, for they have recovered their near lost glory![/list]
