mcm1610 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Oh snap: http://www.absolutepunk.net/journal.php?do=showentry&e=219732 Because it's been bugging me: I happen to agree with Dustin Kensrue when he says you should give an album time and 10+ listens before coming to final judgment on it ... and personally, I think it's wrong to begin listening to an album one day before you officially "review" it. And, for the record, it has nothing to do with me disagreeing with the content (which I could discuss in great detail), it has to do with me disagreeing with the method. I think music - and the reader - deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Tate needs to get off his high horse or someone should push his ass off it. the last review he wrote was in March, before that was in June of 2007. all he does is belittle people on his website and talk down to people. huge, unwarranted, ego when all you do is run a music news site where a bunch of whiny 12-14 year olds gather and bitch back and forth. i feel like i keep saying this, but he made his internet millions and does nothing now but use his website as a soap box that practically no one gathers in front of and doesn't leave any wiser.

travis Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 he only complains about stuff like this when it comes to certain bands too. if scott wrote a review like this for some other band he wouldnt even say anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benc Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nevermind that although it only leaked the other day, it has been available to some media in another format for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think Scott was saying last night when we were doing the fantasy football draft that he's had the album for over a month now. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 yea im sure he didnt just start writing the review as he was sitting there listening to it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 and if we all went over there and called Tate out on his asshole antics he would take the low road and ban all of our IP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I like his anti-piracy rants, when he himself got in trouble for leaking stuff a while back. I know he was the initial leak of Trainwreak by Boys Night Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 i'm waiting for Scott's reaction to this, might actually be considered libel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Maybe he's been listening on a CD player, and waited until now to load it on his computer? That's a hell of an assumption to say someone hasn't listened to something because it wasn't scrobbled. And when you assume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 it's really funny to me because tate himself says he didnt listen to it on his FM chart so people couldn't see song names, lengths, etc. i guess scott couldnt do the same thing?

Duff Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Tate pretty much called Scott a fat ass in the comments of that blog. after someone said Tate and Scott should go out for frozen yogurt this was Tate's response; "I don't have enough money in the bank to feed that dude." he always finds a way to top himself, as unbelievable as it seems he always does.

Where's Tate? I don't know for sure but I'm guessing he some white-belt wearing skinny stupid little guy who weighs like 120lb. What a douche. Who is Jason Tate?

kurtz Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Who is Jason Tate? I've never even heard of him. I had never heard of him either until I started posting on this board. Every now and again someone makes a thread about how big of a douche he is. That's pretty much all I know about the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Maybe he's been listening on a CD player, and waited until now to load it on his computer? That's a hell of an assumption to say someone hasn't listened to something because it wasn't scrobbled. And when you assume... that's exactly what I was thinking. just because it was scrobled then, doesn't meant that's the first time he's listened to it. lame.

tanukichu Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, Tate's a fucking tool. I find Absolute Punk to be a joke. I could never take that site too seriously. I've lurked and it just never seemed worth it to post there. Tate needs to get off his high horse or someone should push his ass off it. the last review he wrote was in March, before that was in June of 2007. all he does is belittle people on his website and talk down to people. huge, unwarranted, ego when all you do is run a music news site where a bunch of whiny 12-14 year olds gather and bitch back and forth. i feel like i keep saying this, but he made his internet millions and does nothing now but use his website as a soap box that practically no one gathers in front of and doesn't leave any wiser.
