Not so good review

Re: Not so good review

If he wants to strive to be a good reviewer, there's plenty of better points to hit to show why it's a bad album, than just saying:

Exactly, I feel like I've been harder on this album than most posters on this board, but I recognize non-objective criticism when I see it. That guy just has a hard-on for tearing people down. It's the music blog version of sensationalism to increase hits.

O...k...

Besides it being your opinion, why is he a douche? Have you met him?

I think he meant the reviewer, not Mike Patton.

Ohhhhh yeah, haha. Wow, I completely mistook that.

It all makes so much more sense now!

Haha, no, Mike Patton is an asshole, not a douche. It's a totally likeable asshole, though.

"Are you hearing this!?!" Probably one of my top 10 musician interviews of all time. That and Devy talking about merkins.

Re: Not so good review

It made me laugh. I don't agree with it, but it did make me chuckle a bit. Particularly this line, "...would fit perfectly on a Potbelly Sandwich Works soundtrack—bookended by a Jimmy Buffet tune and Alanis Morrisette’s cover of “King of Pain.”

Daaaaammmnnn. Crotch shot!

Yeah I got a little lost there, myself. Wasn't sure who was being talked about.

That being said, there's a difference between being an asshole and being an intelligent (albeit, free-willed) artist surrounded by morons that are everywhere in the human race that you just can't get away from. I would think the tolerance level only gets worse with age, too. I think he's just severely misunderstood by a lot of people. I've never thought once that the guy is a douche or an asshole (even when he is being a little snide or "mean"). And that has nothing to do with how much of a fan I am, either. Well, maybe it does a little...subconsciously.

Re: Not so good review

I'm beginning to suspect Chuckles was just an ingenious post-release marketing trick for Pariah. Because I've listened to that album more in the last few weeks than in the whole time since it came out. And I like it a lot more now.

lol...all too true. Funny how that works. Same thing happened to me with the last Oceansize LP... I already thought "Frames" was a masterpiece, but after being mildly disappointed with the new one, it seemed even more formidable than before. In this case, I went from being a bit lukewarm on TPTPTD to liking it quite a bit again.
