If a writer doesn't have the time necessary to sit down and research a band a little bit in order to make sure they've got their facts straight, then they probably shouldn't be writing. Especially if their solution is to just make up shit to fill in the gaps. I'd rather that they didn't write about us at all, if that's the case. We spend alot of time putting up FAQ pages and answering people's questions daily on here, in order to keep everyone happy and properly informed. I had to spend a couple of hours just fixing the huge mistakes and misinformation that someone put in our Wikipedia page alone. Believe me, I don't have all the free time in the world either. I know alot of reviewers are asked to review a big stack of discs in a short amount of time, and it's hard to research each one of them deeply......which is another HUGE issue I have with fucking cd reviews to begin with. I would never take an opinion seriously on a cd that was barely listened to and done by someone who doesn't hardly know what they're talking about. Some reviewers seem to take their time and delve into the music as much as possible, and that's good. But it seems those particular writers are fewer and farther between these days.
As long as there continues to be poor writing out there, especially if it pertains to my band, then I'm going to comment on it. If everyone else is allowed to comment on my work, then I am allowed to comment on theirs. I think that's a fairly simple exhange. Why it is that people seem to think this is not right, I have no idea...
Brandon, you came here and in one day you posted a couple of rather pointed remarks on a couple of threads, and it pissed us off. Period. Opinions are fine but then there's a matter of showing respect when you're in someone's house. This forum is our home, so to speak, and it's the one place where we ask people to be repsectful and polite towards not only us, but towards each other as well.
And so this shit can end, let's lock this thread and be done with it. Enough is enough, and my purpose of posting this thread has long since been served.
I don't like to review as much anymore because I realize a lot of bands do read what we say, and I'd rather not get the "fuck the fuck off" comments from bands that I had a lot of respect for. I've actually not heard anything by you guys from before TPHD so I have no idea what to expect with these reissues, but I will review them honestly and unbiased. I don't let my fanboyness get in the way of an honest review.
