I do agree that your opinion on the piece might have been useful but thats never stopped people before from just posting links.
and to stick to the topic, i dont agree with this guy's ramblings either. he has clearly got it wrong about STITI. he's off the mark about BF too. But he's close to the mark on his comments about DNBWMHM and AHDO. Does that make him a good journalist? going on this piece i'd say not but i haven't either read anything of his or even heard of this guy before so i don't know. what i dont get is that he's not mentioned anything post-AHDO except for the fact that the B&E album has been released. the article looks like it could have been written in 2002.
Am i fence sitting? probably. But i'm not gonna get into petty fighting  |
exactly what i was thinking stimp. If he only wants to include proper albumns, then why the heck is he writing an article now. according to him and his albumn only perpective, they haven't done anything in 4 years... how can he say some of these things without including what they have been doing lately as it is turning a blind eye to some sort of progression (of the band).
Anyhow, I am super glad this discussion came around and it got kid cue posting more again. It's what I miss about the old incarnation of this thing. I never thought you were trolling or doing anything wrong. The people at the start were definatly posting silly trash talking responses, without substance.
Also: it makes sense for him not to introduce his views right away. He for one doens't want to influence other peoples views, and would argue the middle ground either way to promote the discussion rather than it disapearing right away if everyone agreed... He doesn't have to have a view if he can at least SEE where the articles points are coming from...
know?
