"Mr Daniel Graves. You abandoned Necessary Response in order to focus on your cash crop project that you don't actually care about (Aesthetic Perfection). This means you aren't allowed to insult the true artistry of Necessary Response by adding hints of it into your new Aesthetic Perfection album... which was beyond awful. Please stop. Just stop."
- Michael May
"All Beauty Destroyed is your weakest album in your career."
- Steve Bollocks
"I... I can't believe I'm rating something without actually having it but the public needs to know; this is horrid. In a year with many big name releases this should have been something to look forward to, another harsh lesson ala A Violent Emotion or the strange beauty of Close To Human. Instead the listener is assaulted with the Daniel Graves new vocal direction, one that bares far to much resemblance to The Gothsicles to do anyone good. No attempt is made to hide the simple 4/4 beats, the plain and minimally used synth lines; the album screams complacency, laziness, a cop out, a sell out, pick your preferred comparison because I could go on for awhile. The redeeming factors include the cover art, and the fact that the simple melodies are something you can hum along with before you shoot yourself."

"More like "All Music Credibility Destroyed" amirite? If I wanted to listen to simple club beats and melodies with sleazy and scornful lyrics, there are certainly better artists to choose from but this is essentially what All Beauty Destroyed is. What's worse is the addition of clean vocals to a few of the songs. Now, I do love clean vocals in EBM but when it comes to Aesthetic Perfection it just shouldn't belong. Gone is the raw production and emotion you heard on Close To Human, because All Beauty Destroyed is just jam-packed with slick club anthems and nothing more. Hell, the harsh vocals are terrible on this too. It sounds as though Daniel Graves had a sore throat when he recorded all the harsh vocals on this."

I think I enjoy the bad reviews more than the good ones.

They are critics? " All Beauty Destroyed is just jam-packed with slick club anthems and nothing more " wot a hell is this? I studied esthetic and writing (so I'm kind of critic too) and I do write. There are difference between sound and sound and pic and pic. But unfortunately today the personality is lost, critics thinks the good one is always that what they can sell quickly but there is no personality just a big bullshit.
"laziness, a cop out, a sell out" - cop out of what? If this is a cop out wot a hell is Bieber or other - suffering caterwauling?
I don't say it cuz I like it (I have to be objective), 100 % everything always could be better that it is.The Devil's in The Details is rocks this is just typical Aesthetic Perfection. But until somebody write bad reviews ur music still alive and rock, when somebody writes only good things u arn't artist anymore.
I also stated (as Steve Bollocks):
"After two megalomaniac AP albums and honest, emotional NR release, All Beauty Destroyed just feels... meh. Atleast the album wasn't all bad, there are three good tracks that I really enjoy."
So, what? I can't be honest to favourite artist anymore? Can't say anything bad about record I just purchased? Daniel... In 20 years of buying records, you're not the first artist whose latest effort wasn't good as the previous records in the discography. And you will not be the last one either. It's perfectly normal that some records doesn't connect with everybody.
So why the hate for the hate?
By the way in the song The 11th Hour u have an amazing synth sound, people could die for that, but maybe they didn't listen that.That pleasent sound keep balance between ur voice and music.
But I don't understand I'm just a beginner censorius and I have only one published book hahahaah
"It sounds as though Daniel Graves had a sore throat when he recorded all the harsh vocals on this."
Isn't that kind of the point?
Personally, I think this album is the most well-rounded of the three.
And, I honestly don't think you can group Necessary Response in with Aesthetic Perfection when comparing albums. They're so different that if you didn't already know beforehand (which many people didn't when NR first appeared), you wouldn't think Graves was behind them both.
Fuck 'em, though. Love the album, and I love negative reviews along with positive, if only because it gives me a personal podium from which to criticize others for their... criticisms (or silly praise). >.> Lol
Pretty stupid. I guess people think because they have more of a voice now, that everyone's entitled to hear it, which of course isn't true.
I've heard most of the people I've talked to AP about in the past (i.e. before this album) say they disliked your vocals ("too harsh"), and now that you've changed this up a bit they criticize you on the new shit.
If I'd worked on something for three years and then was bombarded with rude criticism, I don't know if I'd find it amusing. I'd probably guess annoying, unwanted, and shitty. If you can shrug stuff off and be proud of your work, that's awesome. I don't think I would take it as well, and wouldn't bother pretending that I do.
