Certainly it's awesome that they, Biomechanical, got a thoroughly positive review and 9/10 numerical rating in UK's Hammer, but I was browsing a mate's copy and couldnae help but be irked that theirs was less than half a page in size, while bloody Bullet for my Valentine get a sceptical review, a 5/10 and yet their review COVERS A PAGE AND A HALF, as though it's 'album of the month'. Silly.

The people who buy it obviously want bullet for my valentine reviews, I suppose.

I think that's to do with good old money!
but hey a half a page review with photo in Metal hammer is great!(most of the cd reviews don't have band pictures) and did you see the three page feature on Biomechanical in there!

Yeah that was pretty cool. Fair logic, but still.

It has a lot to do with politics. There are more fans of Bullet-whoever-they-are than Biomechanical. It's the very nature of the popular media to overly-bombard you with the same bands over and over again (how many times do we have to see Dragonforce, Lacuna Coil, and Trivvium in every issue of Metal Hammer and Kerrang?). That's why I'll always have respect for Metal Maniacs magazine. They cover every bit of metal - no matter how obscure or popular - and they have distribution EVERYWHERE. And their writers actually do their homework and have a genuine passion for music. They don't have agendas, from what I've seen.

Back on topic: that just means there's more unconquered territory for the band.
