unfair maybe, because you get compared to bands that A LOT of people love and theres no way you're ever going to be better than that in peoples heads, so when they hear that theres a band that get compared to these bands they love then theyre going to hear us and think its shit because its not as good as these bands that we've all loved for 20 years, you can't better them.
so maybe it is unfair in a way, but still, its not a bad comparison i guess.
either way, people are going to hear this album and make a decision, its shit or it isnt. same for every band.
