| Pros: |
- A nice change of pace site that also gave me access to Adult Time.
- I like alternative women, tattoos, and there is a lot of both on here. Would be a con for some.
- You also get a broader range of body types on this site, which is a major plus for me.
- Ran by Gamma, fairly easy sign-up and cancel but both could be easier, see cons.
- There's a good blend of content, you'll see threesomes, MMF, group lesbian and should say most everything is hardcore. There's not a lot of softer content but there's also not any too extreme hardcore either.
- Most of the models are very attractive.
- I would like to list navigation as a pro but the Adult Time hub takes the site over and you have to work with Adult Time's still clunky navigation. That to me is a Pro-Con. |
| Cons: |
- One pre-checked cross-sale and after unchecking it and submitting payment, the same exact offer popped up on my screen. I consider this borderline unethical because the pop-up lands in the middle of your screen and looks very much like the "enter site" screens you see on some sites. Not a huge deal but why would someone join another site when they're given Adult Time?
- I won't say the action is 100% formulaic but most of the scenes do have a similar feel. You kind of get the feeling the "different" style of models is the unique part of this site. And that's okay but should be noted.
- Adult Time might have a negative to it that I just noticed and will go into in the Bottom Line. |
| Bottom Line: |
I've been a member at Burning Angel several times over the last few years. Not surprising to those that know me, I originally joined it to get some exclusive scenes of one of my all-time favorite models, Regan Reese. There are several regular models on here that I do collect too, so a join each year or every 6 months is normal.
The con about Adult Time: I joined Burning Angel for $15, then I see that I have Adult Time which would keep some paying members for more than a month. The price after the promo month is $30 a month. I normally wouldn't notice that but I've been trying to figure out how these sites are just "giving" us access to Adult Time without an extra charge. I also wouldn't have thought about it if not for the pop up mentioned in the cons. As soon as you give me reason to question ethics, I start noticing other things I normally wouldn't have noticed.
I personally like Adult Time but it complicates sites that I collect from. And I have one yearly membership that gives me access to Adult Time, already. I would wonder if they've considered giving you the option to turn off Adult Time access? Especially for those of us that have more than one membership that gives access to it. I'm starting to think about potential problems that I and at least one other PU member had with Met-Art's Network consolidating your logins to their various sites (I lost access for 3 days). I stand by something I said way back in 2007 on a review, porn sites should use the KISS system of Keep It Simple, Stupid. No offense is meant, my dad used to say it to me about everything.
Burning Angel, years ago, was one of those sites that mostly flew under the radar due to the alternative/tattoos look of their models but now that tattoos are more common, you'll see a lot of mainstream porn stars on here too. I'll add a bit of humor, at least for me, I don't think I realized some of these models had tattoos! I have had a huge attraction to Regan Reese, who was one of the first mainstream, heavily-tattooed models, for over 10 years. I've explained that also as having met Regan and would say I consider her a friend now. She was nothing like I expected her to be and to whatever extent, I think that opened my mind more towards the heavily-tattooed models.
The site itself has most everything you could want. The newest videos have up to 4K option, there are multiple video resolutions available from tiny (360p) to 1080p on the majority of the scenes on the site. Joanna Angel is credited as the mind behind the site and she's one of the models I collect from this site. They also have screencap downloads. There are over 400 models, it does include males so probably 300-350 females. There are 937 videos as of today (1/22/2019), according to the site's main page but I'm a little disappointed over the Adult Time access or what I would call "takeover" of the site.
If you accidentally click "videos", you're going to be taken back to the Adult Time videos. If you search in Adult Time for "Burning Angel" it doesn't come up. It's also not listed in the 140 sites section. Luckily, one of the newest updates on Adult Time is a Burning Angel video. I clicked it and was able to click the "Burning Angel" tag on it and get back to just Burning Angel content.
That to me is a major problem. I don't care if it's in Beta. I joined Burning Angel not a Beta of Adult Time. I appreciate Adult Time for what it is, a clunky, massive catalog of porn. I appreciate Burning Angel for what it is, a niche site that almost zero of the other Adult Time sites are like. Not having it in the sites list or being able to even find it in a search within Adult Time is poor business. I've said it before, I'm not a computer programmer but I know it can't be that hard to get all the sites listed within the hub.
So, my feeling is Burning Angel, for those that like alternative/tattooed models, is close to a solid 90 by itself. With Adult Time making me jump through hoops to get back to the Burning Angel content, it's a low to mid-80s site. I'm sure they will get this all fixed eventually and I'll have a more positive view of Adult Time. As of right now, it's burdening sites like Burning Angel. What I mean by that is, I joined for the niche of Burning Angel's models. Not in the mood for regular, mainstream models.
This problem can be best shown by my above part where I clicked on "videos" on Burning Angel's page and it took me to Adult Time's videos. I was able to search within Burning Angel's models but I'm sure there's a model tab somewhere on there that will send me to Adult Time's models and not just the Burning Angel ones.
I would almost say it's the best of tattooed/alternative models but I really don't know of many of other sites that focus on this niche. It's recommended and hopefully they'll do something to improve the integration with Adult Time. It makes me wonder how many other sites Adult Time gives access to but aren't listed. |
