In a nutshell, I need to stop reading and looking for reviews of our band and I need to get off of the Internet because none of this matters in the big scope of things. Time is really the ultimate decision maker and none of this high school bullshit makes any difference. I crave and need validation but when I get it I over analyze it and toss it off and search for approval from the next rung up on the bullshit musical podium. Most of this rant is probably imagined and exaggerated in my anxiety ridden brain anyways so you can take it or leave it.
All of this really amounts to me wanting to read a review of this album that I feel takes it seriously and meets it on its own level. I have read maybe one or two that I liked but most just toss out the same clichéd bullshit. We get tagged as trash punkers or people say that we sound like the Pixies which I do not understand at all. It just feels kind of ridiculous. Like what happened to good music journalism. Why can’t someone that knows their shit give us an honest, thought out, album review. I will take a bad one with pleasure. It just would be nice. Maybe we are just a mediocre garage band composed of four dullards with fairly low intelligence levels. I don’t know.
I do know that we worked really hard on this album and put everything we had into it and it seems like most reviewers downloaded it for free off of the internet and then googled the band name or some shit like that. I see crazy shit like the album opens with “Unraveling” or a song is called something that the reviewer made up. A good music review should not be done off of the internet. You cannot download an album and officially review it. You miss the artwork, the true sound quality, song order, song spelling, all of that shit. I just think that’s crazy. (CON’T)
