Techno-Trash, May 2, 2000
By A Customer
This is one of the most irritating pieces of techno-trash I've ever heard. I made the mistake of reading reviews of obviously tone deaf people who are in love with the Human League before ordering this CD. I wanted their hit song "Don't You Want Me." That is the only decent song on the CD. I don't know how anyone in their right mind could stomach listening to the rest of the CD in one sitting. All of the songs sound alike and they become extremely irritating after a while and could make one agitated just by listening to the constant techno-synthesizers (no other instruments on this album, just synthesizers) and meaningless lyrics. It's monotony! These people are also obviously athiests, as well. One track has a lyric which reads, paraphrased and in part, "I know there is no Lord above..." He makes a reference to believing in love and in "you and me" but not believing there is a God. What delightful lyrics, huh? What a piece of trash! Save your money! Don't buy this ridiculous, outdated garbage.

The huffy comments underneath are a spicy bonus as well

I am actually quite consumed with hatred. People like you give our generation a bad name (I'm fairly young and you seem to be to). Green Day isn't even punk, Blink 182 isn't even music. Have you heard of the Clash, or the Velvet Underground? VU invented more genres then you probably have heard of. Calling Green Day punk... ugh.

I couldn't see this creepshow when it was first released. Being scared and sheltered in my early ears, i wasn't too fond of scary movies.

For some reason during my first pregnancy I couldn't get enough of scary movies and happened to catch this on cable. I was disgusted, shocked and oddly aroused at how creepy the stories became. I enjoyed myself immensely.

This is crazy long, but it's LOL. Anne Rice had a major meltdown on Amazon in 2004 after everyone said her new book was a stinking turd.

this is what she wrote:

"Reviewer: Anne Obrien Rice (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews

Seldom do I really answer those who criticize my work. In fact, the entire development of my career has been fueled by my ability to ignore denigrating and trivializing criticism as I realize my dreams and my goals. However there is something compelling about Amazon's willingness to publish just about anything, and the sheer outrageous stupidity of many things you've said here that actually touches my proletarian and Democratic soul. Also I use and enjoy Amazon and I do read the reviews of other people's books in many fields. In sum, I believe in what happens here. And so, I speak. First off, let me say that this is addressed only to some of you, who have posted outrageously negative comments here, and not to all. You are interrogating this text from the wrong perspective. Indeed, you aren't even reading it. You are projecting your own limitations on it. And you are giving a whole new meaning to the words "wide readership." And you have strained my Dickensean principles to the max. I'm justifiably proud of being read by intellectual giants and waitresses in trailer parks,in fact, I love it, but who in the world are you? Now to the book. Allow me to point out: nowhere in this text are you told that this is the last of the chronicles, nowhere are you promised curtain calls or a finale, nowhere are you told there will be a wrap-up of all the earlier material. The text tells you exactly what to expect. And it warns you specifically that if you did not enjoy Memnoch the Devil, you may not enjoy this book. This book is by and about a hero whom many of you have already rejected. And he tells you that you are likely to reject him again. And this book is most certainly written -- every word of it -- by me. If and when I can't write a book on my own, you'll know about it. And no, I have no intention of allowing any editor ever to distort, cut, or otherwise mutilate sentences that I have edited and re-edited, and organized and polished myself. I fought a great battle to achieve a status where I did not have to put up with editors making demands on me, and I will never relinquish that status. For me, novel writing is a virtuoso performance. It is not a collaborative art. Back to the novel itself: the character who tells the tale is my Lestat. I was with him more closely than I have ever been in this novel; his voice was as powerful for me as I've ever heard it. I experienced break through after break through as I walked with him, moved with him, saw through his eyes. What I ask of Lestat, Lestat unfailingly gives. For me, three hunting scenes, two which take place in hotels -- the lone woman waiting for the hit man, the slaughter at the pimp's party -- and the late night foray into the slums --stand with any similar scenes in all of the chronicles. They can be read aloud without a single hitch. Every word is in perfect place. The short chapter in which Lestat describes his love for Rowan Mayfair was for me a totally realized poem. There are other such scenes in this book. You don't get all this? Fine. But I experienced an intimacy with the character in those scenes that shattered all prior restraints, and when one is writing one does have to continuously and courageously fight a destructive tendency to inhibition and restraint. Getting really close to the subject matter is the achievement of only great art. Now, if it doesn't appeal to you, fine. You don't enjoy it? Read somebody else. But your stupid arrogant assumptions about me and what I am doing are slander. And you have used this site as if it were a public urinal to publish falsehood and lies. I'll never challenge your democratic freedom to do so, and yes, I'm answering you, but for what it's worth, be assured of the utter contempt I feel for you, especially those of you who post anonymously (and perhaps repeatedly?) and how glad I am that this book is the last one in a series that has invited your hateful and ugly responses. Now, to return to the narrative in question: Lestat's wanting to be a saint is a vision larded through and through with his characteristic vanity. It connects perfectly with his earlier ambitions to be an actor in Paris, a rock star in the modern age. If you can't see that, you aren't reading my work. In his conversation with the Pope he makes observations on the times which are in continuity with his observations on the late twentieth century in The Vampire Lestat, and in continuity with Marius' observations in that book and later in Queen of the Damned. The state of the world has always been an important theme in the chronicles. Lestat's comments matter. Every word he speaks is part of the achievement of this book. That Lestat renounced this saintly ambition within a matter of pages is plain enough for you to see. That he reverts to his old self is obvious, and that he intends to complete the tale of Blackwood Farm is also quite clear. There are many other themes and patterns in this work that I might mention -- the interplay between St.Juan Diago and Lestat, the invisible creature who doesn't "exist" in the eyes of the world is a case in point. There is also the theme of the snare of Blackwood Farm, the place where a human existence becomes so beguiling that Lestat relinquishes his power as if to a spell. The entire relationship between Lestat and Uncle Julien is carefully worked out. But I leave it to readers to discover how this complex and intricate novel establishes itself within a unique, if not unrivalled series of book. There are things to be said. And there is pleasure to be had. And readers will say wonderful things about Blood Canticle and they already are. There are readers out there and plenty of them who cherish the individuality of each of the chronicles which you so flippantly condemn. They can and do talk circles around you. And I am warmed by their response. Their letters, the papers they write in school, our face to face exchanges on the road -- these things sustain me when I read the utter trash that you post. But I feel I have said enough. If this reaches one reader who is curious about my work and shocked by the ugly reviews here, I've served my goals. And Yo, you dude, the slang police! Lestat talks like I do. He always has and he always will. You really wouldn't much like being around either one of us. And you don't have to be. If any of you want to say anything about all this by all means Email me at Ann3obri3nric3.... And if you want your money back for the book, send it to [she posted her actual address]. I'm not a coward about my real name or where I live. And yes, the Chronicles are no more! Thank God! "

But I guess I kinda feel bad for her. I wouldn't take bad reviews well if I got reviewed.

challop of ghouls (CharlieS), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 03:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Apparentl she took down her review, which is why it took forever to find the damn thing...but some kind souls were benevolent enough to bump her original text in their own review, and so it's still there in a couple of places.

Hilariously, Anne added the following comment to the most recent bump (she just doesn't know when to stop):

" Posted on Feb 11, 2008 7:29 PM PST
Anne Rice says:
My response above should be taken down. It's been posted here under some one else's name. I took the post down myself some time ago, but I can't remove this copy because some one else has posted it. The text is obsolete. Amazon years ago removed the abusive and inappropriate "reviews" that prompted my response. As a consequence it is now completely out of context. To repeat, whoever put this up should remove it. --- FYI, email response to my comments was overwhelmingly positive and has been over the years. Every now and then there is a nasty email, usually from some one apparently very young who is still obsessed with this situation. But really, the matter ought to be closed. To repeat, Amazon long ago removed the attacks that prompted the comments. --- Whatever your thoughts, keep this in mind. Amazon will be as good as you make it. If you post foolishness on this site, if you "flame" because you're disappointed that you cannot write fanfiction, if you deliberately insult authors or belittle them for personal reasons or undisclosed reasons, Amazon will continue to be ineffective as a site for reviewing books. Amazon can be something very constructive and very worthwhile. But you have to support the quality yourself. As long as you post drivel, you will continue to erode the effectiveness of Amazon as a forum. Thank you for your many comments. Again, the above post is not under my name and should be removed. Anne Rice, Rancho Mirage, California."

4.0 out of 5 stars

A much appreciated improvement over the standard method., September 14, 2009
By SCF "Software Developer"

Until I discovered this tool, I had to pound my meat by hand. When preparing your meat for a party, this easily leads to callouses. Thankfully, with the Norpro Meat Pounder, I can pound my meat all I want without undesired difficulties of the old school method. Ladies or those with small hands or arms may also appreciate the added weight and leverage this gives to increase the capacity of their meat pounding (not to mention, clean-up could not be easier).

I'm not sure if there is an automated solution available, but until I find an automated meat pounder, this simple product will definitely take care of all my pounding needs.

If you do a lot of meat pounding by hand, I would recommend the Norpro Meat Pounder without hesitation.

This would also make a great gift.

2.0 out of 5 stars the standard test, May 14, 2010
By A. Apter "caro fan"
This review is from: Living in the End Times (Hardcover)
Whenever I come across one of these kinds of books from a European/Slavic philosopher I always perform what I call the "Israel Test." This test tells me whether or not the author is sane. Failing the test, the author can be counted on as either a lunatic with something of interest to say, or just another spiteful blowhard. At any rate, I performed the Israel Test on Living in the End Times and this is what I found. The author believes that the founding of Israel was a crime (his word) and that the Israelis believed they were engaged in a crime. Here you will find many such nuggets tucked and squirrelled away, as the author casually presents them. Personally, as a philosopher myself, I have little truck with such idiots.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never stole this album, but the cops took my tape of it, January 5, 2004
By Jay DeKing (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stupid People Shouldn't Breed (Audio CD)
The cleaned-up version of "Chemical Imbalance" used to play on our local college station during the early 90's. I taped it on a few mix tapes (couldn't get enough of it!) and finally bought the cassette of "Stupid People Shouldn't Breed."
Unfortunately, a few years later, my car was seized by the state cops for ... um ... some misbehavior on my part. I never got the car back, nor did I get any of my favorite tapes, which happened to be in the car at the time. Skatenigs were in my daily rotation at the time, so I was out one great tape (along with many others).

Fast forward to the year 2000 -> -> -> I've moved 1200 miles away; I'm back on my feet, I am a respectable citizen again; I'm also 38 years old. As soon as I had found the best music shops in town, I set about my search for "Stupid People Shouldn't Breed" on CD.

It turns out that I had to special order it; only the very best shop was able do it for me. (This is before I discovered Amazon, but the music shop had it to me in a week.)

Now, I have my Bach, I have my Beatles, I have my Johnny Cash, Hendrix, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Jane's Addiction, B.B. King, Plasmatics, Zappa, James Brown and the Barber of Seville. But I also have Skatenigs. That's what sets me apart, though I wish that everyone could hear them. (It's a mission!)

For Christmas I gave my 17 year old daughter a mix CD that included "Chemical Imbalance" (sans the long spoken intro - her mom wouldn't like it, I don't think). I may be 41, but that tune still puts me into a trance. My right eye nearly closes ... my left eye half closes ... my head moves back and forth ... and then the entire band comes in !! AAAAAHHH!!!!

The whole CD is great, though. A lot of interesting sound samples.

I like "Poundsauce," with the samples, "you take your chances with the law - justice is only a roll of the dice," and "like someone on a rampage." And of course the "what the f$*%!" sample that is used like a percussion intrument during the bridge. It's a repititious tune, but good background for a party or some kind of dancing - or just to jam along with.

"Fight Da Suckas" is an anti-racist tune. Even if you don't listen to the lyrics, it's a good tune.

"Loudspeaker" uses its title and the singer's (lack of?) dynamics (he shouts) as a metaphor for the radical right's oppressive attitude. Deceptively mild sound samples from right-wing speakers are interspersed, and repeated for emphasis, while the singer says absolutely nothing offensive other than "shut up and listen."

Other than that rather abrupt "request," which is repeated a few times, the singer says nothing offensive but rather describes a desire for understanding. The background music is raucous and disturbing, which coincidentally is just how the radical right appears to many freedom-loving patriotic Americans. Sometimes the rest of us do want to say, "shut up and listen" to the holier-than-thou sect, but we're too polite to do so.

The last tune on the CD, "Roadkill," is a great driving song. The whole CD is great for when you're on the road, but this one really is the best. "Backwoods motherf*@$#&%!" "Roadkill all over Texas!"

A driving beat. "I'm not coming back!" "I know what I'm getting and the getting is good!" "Roadkill all over Texas!" "Whaddyou think I am, some sort of a piece of s#*%, I'm a human being."

"I'd like to bite the hand that feeds me ... so ... feed ... me now!"

Truly, one of the great albums of all time. I have Mingus, I have Miles, I have the Beatles, I have Bela Fleck ... All great, but my collection would be seriously lacking without "Stupid People Shouldn't Breed."

Oh, I should mention "Horny For Evil." I can't describe how it starts. You'll either fall off your chair laughing or pop the CD out in disgust. Don't pop it out! It's a Biohazard-style thrash-fest.

Don't pass this one up if you like metal. I'm not even a serious metal fan - Metallica, sure, but I'm more grunge/punk/dirty blues. Not those nasty hair-metal bands from the early 80's. These guys, Skatenigs, grab you by the boo-boo and don't let go until they're ready to. I just wish I could have seen them live.

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! "Stand Tall and Fight"!!!

Chuck Tingle Is The Most Dangerous Man Alive!
By Kevin Lintner on March 2, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
His writing is more fierce than an uppercut from Rico Slade. His erotica is hotter than the blast coming from Godzilla's bunghole after a night of binging on ghost pepper Buffalo Wings and room temperature Old Milwaukee. If Liberace and Paul Lynde dropped bad Woodstock acid and mushroom stamped the Star Spangled Banner on Divine's butt cheeks, it would be more awesome than this book, but all those people are dead and Chuckle Tingle is alive and roundhouse kicking.

But really, the author's entire output needs to be seen:

This review is from: Accoutrements Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure (Toy)
I bought this toy for my kid in the hopes of sending a better message than all of those superhero action figures and he just loves it! This day and age, kids are programmed by our government to think that everyone is out to destroy us and that they need heroes to come and save us all. They forget that there are everyday people out there who need a little compassion and understandng.

I make my kids sit down every day for at least an hour and play with the Cat Lady. We talk about what has made her the way she is and we discuss different options of things we might do to help her. We get into conversations about what rle society plays in the creating of these people who seriously have issues and then we practice empathy role play by having our social services action figures come to her aid and get her the help she needs. It has created hours of educational fun for our entire family.

I recommend also purchasing the Albino Bowler and the Obsessive Compulsive action figures as well. We have used a cardboard box and built a small Mental health center/Halfway house where we keep our action figures always getting the help they need from the little doctors and nurses who work there.

This is a great product and I recommend it to anyone who wants to creep out their children and teach them a vaulable lesson about the differences in people all over the world.

so in 2004, someone trying to profit off of people's idiocy released an EP under the moniker "Candy Ass" and titled it "Orgy", released it on Cdbaby. it didn't work very well, naturally, but boy has that not stopped the Amazon reviewers from their outrage!

Definitely worth reading, but probably too much obfuscation to have any lasting significance. If nothing else, it shows the importance of avoiding meetings without a fixed agenda.

1.0 out of 5 stars The arch snob's guide to "society".

ByEtruscan11on 20 June 2015

Format: Paperback

British snobbery at its worst: feeble, shallow and a waste of time. I grew up in the sort of circles that he craved: the people therein are so often philistine, uncultured and monotonous.......and, OF COURSE, arch snobs, out to preserve their precious social circles and life styles. Pathetic, and I am so glad to be rid of them all!! This book has NO LITERARY VALUE WHATEVER.

Diaries, 1971-1983

1.0 out of 5 stars An utter bore.

ByEtruscan11on 24 June 2015

Format: Paperback

The usual tedious and extraordinarily snobbish, time-wasting nonsense that one expects from this extremely dull little man's diaries. His life was an endless round of 'keeping up with the Jones's', and maintaining his pathetic need for social superiority. All of the vices of social man are here graphically displayed, revealing a frothy, soulless, uninspiring underworld of ruthless exclusiveness and empty arch snobbery.

Diaries, 1984-1997: v. 3

Love Xanadu and LOVE Olivia Newton John!
ByS Sheparkon July 19, 2018
Format: Paperback
i've never read this book but I'm writing because this book was based on a song by Olivia Newton John that was also a movie and I LOVED the movie! It has a roller disco and fun songs and muses dressed in spandex of multiple colors. Very bright and flashy/

My sister used to sing the song using her hairbrush as a microphone when she was getting ready for school and blow drying her hair so it holds a very special meaning to me/

If you love Olivia Newton John and roller skating you will LOVE this

The film is known for its slow-to-develop action, but also for some memorable scenes. There are the apes at the beginning; Dave going through the star gate; and finally Dave finding himself in a room filled with French Provincial furniture. That happened to me once, not the star gate, but I was at a hotel in Aix-en-Provence not orbiting Jupiter. Interestingly, one set of star gate images was taken from Dr. Strangelove. If you have the patience, this is a great film.

A. F. Buczynski
5.0 out of 5 stars Volume 4 of the Complete Crepax (?)
19 August 2019 - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
I've been into Crepax for decades, but it was only recently, while reading some interviews with Alain Robbe-Grillet and subsequently watching Corrado Frarina's short "Freud a fumetti," that I determined that Guido Crepax had done quite a bit more than just adapt some literary erotica, the guy had literally invented a new form of semiotics in his comic language. Thus, I became a little obsessed with Crepax from an academic perspective. I alread owned all his erotic works with the exception of Bianca, but had only one short volume of Valentina publsihed by NBM, all of which I adore and find fascinating. I picked up the box set of the first two Crepax volumes from Amazon which arrived crushed and used, but Amazon customer service offered a partial refund if I kept the things, and I did. Reading these books I decided to lend support to the whole Fantagraphics effort and called the number inside of the first volume. I got in touch with some employee who seem amazed that I would call, infomed me that Kim Thompson was long dead, that Fantagraphics no longer offered a print catalog, and that Gary Groth was unavailable and generally should be considered as unavailable to speak with. I got in touch with the Crepax estate in Italy and had them send me the complete Valentina in Italian, I also spoke about licensing the entire works of Crepax myself inclusive of academic works that have been done regarding his work, including Barthes, Eco, Foucault, Deleuze, Ranciere, etc. Around this time the 3rd volume of the Complete Crepax hit my front door, from Amazon / Fantagraphics. I noticed a drop in quality - mostly printing issues, as well as some gaffes in the translation, and an needless dig by Tim Pilcher at Marvel comics and in particular Jim Steranko! I seriously don't know what to make of volume 4 of the Complete Crepax. Of the four volumes available it is the weakest. More printing problems, for sure, more translations that just don't add up, and a hefty amount of Russian just to confuse matters. For now I'll grant a five star award to this effort. I'm certainly have no intention of returning this book, indeed; I'm headed up to the physical Fantagraphics store very soon with this tome and a few other odds and sods to sort out some issues with this company who seem to be headed off the rails on a good deal of their projects.

This is sort of amusing, and maddening--it'd be really amusing if it weren't so maddening.

Someone posted a review of my "American Pie" review a week ago on amazon.ca:

1.0 out of 5 stars From heart warming to SHOCKING and GRAPHIC

Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2023

America Pie is probably one of my ALL TIME favorite tracks, and I decided to give it a read.
While the illustrations are a bit pedestrian, I found the prose to be inspiring in many places.
---
Things quickly took a turn for the bizarre as the author graphically describes a triggering scene between a failed art student and his girlfriend. The scene involves the use of violent language, and something known as "pegging" in some circles.

I'd call it "readers whiplash" because the sudden escalation of violence, both physical and spoken, took me for a bit of a loop. It's most certainly NOT a book for the faint of heart.
---
I'd STRONGLY advise against reading this book if you are trigger by such things!

Typos intact...The weird thing is, there's no such scene in the book--no failed art student, no girlfriend, nothing. The book is about "American Pie"--other things, too, but mostly about "American Pie." I mean...do people ever write reviews on Amazon and halfway through forget what they're reviewing?

I've e-mailed two different branches of Amazon asking that the review be taken down. I also wrote a review myself, limiting what I wrote to countering the above review. Mine got taken down, the other one remains.

As I mentioned to a friend, I'm considering going on there and complaining about all the car crashes and gore in Finnegan's Wake.

I like that the only other two reviews by "John Sneed" are of accessories for model building from Games Workshop. In particular, he notes that the Technical Texture Stirland Mud, "Looks like poop, but spreads like peanut butter."

As I said to a friend yesterday, it's probably some kid I kept in for recess 20 years ago. (Thankfully, the various Amazon domains don't overlap when it comes to customer reviews, so "John Sneed" is for Canadian eyes only.)
