So-So Design...I Don't See What All The Hype Is About...This Skin is rather bland and the button design is very poor; prev/next/play/stop/pause buttons look horrible! And puffnblow, you must be color blind not to recognize good art when you see it (and you must be fucking queer judging by that name of your, you stupid Peter Puffer!)

Maybe not "Original" but sure looks good.

Firewyre says:

Hate to be the bad guy, but this skin is just plain ugly... Looks like he rendered difference clouds in photoshop and cut some pieces out, put a layer effect or two on them and threw them on a skin. How original....

Had to d/l it before I rated it. I'm more into darker skins because I use a dark Windows background (Into the Abyss, also on this site). I got this and checked it out. It's pretty awesome. Nice clean job, not a rip, it is kinda bland but that's sorta the point. It looks like misery put in some serious work into this skin unlike 80% of the "skin of a skin" types on here. So I say Bravo!

Avatar-50x50

Great skin! Download this one, folks! I downloaded it, why don't you?

PuffnBlow says:

Alright, everyone who says this skin is too bland or that there's too much gray, go back to the gay rights march, ya goddamn rainbowy assholes. you seem jealous that this skin is so much better than your stupid metallic rusty skins that got 0's cuz they really did suck. you know this skin is awesome and you know you want it, so download it and shut up.

good skin misery, would've rated it higer if the eQ were skinned in windowshade mode. . .also the browser has no skin!

Would have given it a higher score, but the text is difficult to read sometimes, there is no browser skin and the left menus aren't even there....

Amel says:

I don't know what you all saw in this. The whole Crystal Bastard thing was pretty hoopy, but I like to leave my playlist open. It is filled the brim with gray, boring, desolate gray. If you don't have a playlist/equalizer open, go for it, beautiful art, otherwise, it's not worth the 40 seconds DL'ing it.

Avatar-50x50
evil666 says:

Too all the suckers that gave this skin a low rating - FUCK YOU ALL! The very high majority of people love it give it 90 - 100 and that is why it is very highly rated. I got one question for all you cock suckers that gave it a low rating - HAVE YOU EVER MADE A SKIN IN YOUR LIFE!? AND POSTED HERE!!?? I am guessing not so what the hell are you talking about. Making a skin is hard work, making one that is good is incredibly hard.

Avatar-50x50
DarkRose says:

Not what i really expected when I Downloaded it, It's a good skin, But to hard to make out , needs more work, before it's any good

I don't see whats really special about this skin. Nolthing against misery as his other work is great, but this is too bland for me, I prefer brighter skins for muh winamp, like gabiamp

Avatar-50x50
MyrtleT says:

RubberNeck, Tomahawk, OutLaw, Photar, farrokhi, and 915PZG are all f_cked up individuals. This skin kicks @$$, and if you give it low scores and bad reviews then make something better. Bitch at misery and his skins all you want, but this is some killer sh_t.

N.G.E. says:

(review changed) Well I always wanted to come back and re-rate this skin. I decided to finally give it that elusive 100, due to the inflow of new skins which are just pathetic, and the lower rating this skin initially had, just doesn't give it justice. So there )

Avatar-50x50
NeO AxD says:

Yeah, yeah and YEAH

Avatar-50x50

Not a bad design but the colors suck and I'm sorry to say but it looks like every other skin.

Well I guess my review won't make much of a difference here... But I would like to say that this is one of misery's better skins; it's original and depressing... I like it!

ssurge95 says:

design wise, very put together, but overall flat, boring, and tiring. it's sad to see how all these lookalike skins are always highest ranked...

Avatar-50x50
Irritant says:

Good job. I notice you've reloaded the skin to correct the stop and pause button being the wrong way round. I know you've been working on this for a while, but it would have been good if the skin matched up when, for example amp and playlist placed side by side?

I think it's an astonishing work, but I don't personnaly use it because I find it too grey. Maybe I would have liked it more with another choice of LCD color.

Munin says:

Bloody boring buttons and slide bars. They don't compliment a decent background.

High quality, but a bit too bright for me and to much grey.

God dammit, Misery, stop making such (awesome, godly, swank, neat, and any other complimentary words you can throw in there) skins!

Very patheticly designed skin. No flavor no taste. Unresonable, undeserved high scores.

Xero says:

It kicks ass all over the place, but odd enough as it may sound, I am kinda sick of seeing so many LCD screens. I think that is the only reason I gave it a 95 instead of a 100. Good Work though!

THeBeZ says:

A nice skin, prolly the best one yet. MIM's skins have got better and better, can't wait for the next one. The EQ & PL buttons/lights could've done with a little more, however. Otherwise top stuff :)

Avatar-50x50

Great skin! like it a lot! the only ones that can compare, are by Pordey

DoorinD says:

its an overall good skin, very solid no glitches and the style is kept all the way through, but its kind of flat and sorta boring. this is perfect for some people... but i guess its not my thing. i prefer his other skins to this one, and in this skin some things were repeated and bring down the overall quality of the skin (the "rust" on the metallic left side of the main & the eq is the same and is doubled up on the eq, as well as the right side). but i love the position bar. one of my favorite Lcd-type skins, but not nearly as good as his others.

Woodstock says:

Nice skin, don't get me wrong, the layout is wonderful, but I can't handle the post-apocalyptic metallic skins. Maybe it's the silver?

Avatar-50x50
Mooman says:

It's good, but not that great. What i do not like is it looks to be favored by Customize.org because of the little button onthe main page. Not too fair.

Avatar-50x50

this is a great skin, anyone who's tried to skin winamp knows it isnt the easiest thing to get right. stay true to yourself man, and dont add color!! its great like it is. whats your next project?

MadHacker says:

Avatar-50x50
RPMoonick says:

Wow, just when you thought all skin ideas had been thought up, a great skin like this comes along. It combines the futuristic/noir appeal that many dark skins have while still being light and easy to see. This is a combination I've never seen successfully done before and Misery deserves a lot of credit for making it work so well here.

Avatar-50x50
Tomahawk says:

Boost VIII is still, in my opinion the best misery in motion skin, but this one is pretty nice. if i handnt already configured wVis's colors to go with Boost, i would probably use it ;]

Truly the best skin yet, even better once misery fixes how the pause and stop buttons are flipped

Avatar-50x50

There is no connection and bland colors and design kick ass.

Buttons are even in the right place. May this be the perfect skin?

Avatar-50x50
Endo says:

Awesome design as always from misery, and for those of you saying it has no color, I see a tinge of blue personally. Only thing that is irking me is that the stop and pause buttons seemed to be swapped.

Avatar-50x50
MOcwieja says:

One of the most difficult things about making a skin is making the colors work together. This skin definitely does that, but it seems to take the easy way out by not using much color. Different grays always work together. Still, a very impressive skin--I really like the windows continuing to the edge, with the floating titlebars.

Avatar-50x50

not bad . . . the grey lcd thing is a little tired, but it's still hella better than a lot of the high-rated stuff around here. personally, metropolis is my fave misery skin

Well, is there any need to say anything more in the good way ? I'll say " it's not as pretty when in the default positions (main top left, eq bottom left, playlist full right), and yes, please try creating skins a bit less grey. Up to believe you have a monochrome screen [°+°]

ventolin says:

FINALLY!!! I've been anxiously awaiting this skins release for ages. Misery's design skills shine through with this fantastic skin. My only complaint being that it's maybe a tad too 'grey', and can be hard to read in resolutions above 1024x768, but otherwise FAB WORK MISERY! *grin* - [updated] ummmm... is it just me, or are the 'stop' and 'pause' buttons the wrong way around? :)

Avatar-50x50
flud says:
