NicktheQuick commented on a review of Death Cab for Cutie in Alternative / Indie Rock Musicians & Groups:

They live and breathe their own music, sadly. It is all about Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and now Death Cab. Don't get me wrong, Nirvana was great, but Pearl Jam was at their best (long ago) moderately talented and DC follows Coldplay like a puppy dog.

NicktheQuick commented on a review of Death Cab for Cutie in Alternative / Indie Rock Musicians & Groups:

Finally, someone with whom I agree regarding DC. I am from Seattle where everyone is obsessed with these music "gods" and it is impossible to escape unless you move out of the region. Thank god for some common sense.

NicktheQuick reviewed Honda Civic in Hybrid Cars:

Amazing gas mileage (somehow slightly better in the city than highway, but great either way), innovative magnetic braking system that links to the battery, automatic engine shutoff and re-engage when stopping and starting in the city or in bumper to bumper traffic (helps significantly with MPG), and all the amenities of a normal car. Can't ask for more.

NicktheQuick reviewed Euclid in Most Influential People in World History:

He influenced people, yes, but his "Euclidian Geometry" has been classified as basically worthless by modern scientists, especially those on the forefront of scientific fields like physics and quantum mechanics.

NicktheQuick reviewed John F. Kennedy in Most Influential People in World History:

Unfortunately suffers from the Caesar complex: he needed more time to establish his influence. Still great, he did influence many but could have done much more given time. He probably could have even accomplished more during his life if he wasn't distracted by Marilyn.

NicktheQuick reviewed Christopher Columbus in Most Influential People in World History:

Somebody would have found it eventually. Besides that, who did he influence that would put him ahead of others on this list?

NicktheQuick reviewed Julius Caesar in Most Influential People in World History:

He wasn't in power long enough to have the influence that others on this list had. If given time he could have been more influential. That being said, he did lead the Roman armies to many victories and expanded the Roman boundaries dramatically.

NicktheQuick reviewed Santi (The Academy Is...) in Alternative Music:

A definite maturation is displayed from their previous release, "Almost Here", and it works well. Solid album, but in my opinion not as complete as AH.

NicktheQuick reviewed Almost Here (The Academy Is...) in Punk Rock Music:

Very solid, well-rounded album with no soft spots. Light, upbeat album that is very easy to listen to straight through.

NicktheQuick reviewed What to Do When You Are Dead (Armor For Sleep) in Pop Music:

Great, great album. I'm still listening to it 3/4 years after its initial release. A darker album, not like their next release "Smile for Them", which was much more pop-y with its beats and lyrics.
