Welcome
to THE SLUDGELORD’s October’s “666 Pack
Review”. This time of year is often referred
to as “Rocktober.” The reason? Tours…lots of them. It’s difficult to keep track of and actually
go to all the shows you want to because there are so many and that shit costs
$$$. Are any of the bands in this
month’s “666 Pack Review” touring?
How the fuck would I know??? I just review them! So, if you’re new to this, each and every
month we handpick 6 review submissions and critique them by only using 6 words,
then we rate them on a scale from 1 to 666! Check out our tour themed rating scale below:
1 –
I’d give this band four flat tires so they couldn’t tour!
2 –
Your band is in the equivalent of a ditch, you can get out, but it’s going to
take some work.
3 –
Breaking even on tour isn’t satisfactory, nor horrible…sort of like this band.
4 – Not having any shows fall through on
tour is important, in fact, it’s considered a positive. Congrats, this submission was pretty decent.
5 –
The best thing about touring is a packed house.
I’m pretty sure this band will have no problems doing so.
666 –
This band sounds like they’re already chomping at the bit to tour. THE SLUDGELORD abides…
Caveat: Even though the “666 Pack Review” is meant
to offer humorous critique, there are no safe spaces here and your gripes will
only make you sound like a bellyacher. THE SLUDGELORD is a picky listener…and
doesn’t care what you think of his opinions….
