I read the review and I wrote several scathing critiques against Rundgren. Between Bush and Everclear, I’d make a nice bonfire, but this album isn't the Everclear you know and that those who watched their music videos on MTV know; it's a decent work that has nothing to do with clone-grunge, which is not derivative "of" grunge but "like" grunge (I've already written this). On the fact that the most important albums from that period have already been reviewed, we agree, but I won't backtrack: Bush sucks, and they are even more fake than Everclear, because Rossdale's youth is called "Chelsea youth" while Alexakis's is called abandonment, death, heroin, prison. Then, I will not backtrack even half a line on the Connells: it's an album to sing from the first to the last note, well made, well played, that doesn't copy REM and doesn't copy Soul Asylum or Counting Crows, etc... Also, I believe one should not speculate on anyone's death. Now that you've done it once to insult Alexakis (who is not my relative even if I'm defending him), why not do it again? Why not speculate on people's suffering to come up with impactful phrases? Why? Adolescent acne has not yet been eradicated: there is always some pimpled person out there who, precisely because they are pimpled, might need to hear random talk about death: and between you and Alexakis, I think you do it better... Why not unleash your pretentious and fierce criticism for the benefit of the teenager looking for a cool commentator who has written five reviews and comes to dump their crap in the reviews of those who really work hard for DeBaser? And then I often complain about the Editors, or, as you say, I beg the Editors. Sometimes to make me happy with a chosen review, other times to make me happy by not altering the arrangement of the paragraphs, by using bold better or not using it at all (as they then decided to do)... In short, asking means begging for you, while for someone else it can be a way of suggesting, and for others still a soft way of implying a claim (although I don’t believe I’ve ever done this). But generally asking means asking, and begging means imploring, and I don’t even implore God to come down from the cross to sing Bush’s songs, even if maybe in that case I should implore him, yes, to stop. AH, ONE LAST THING: WHY DON’T YOU GO AND DIG THROUGH MY 123 REVIEWS TO SEE WHERE I WROTE ABOUT CRAP? I CAN GO THROUGH YOUR 005 REVIEWS WITHOUT A HUGE EFFORT: IF YOU WANT TO STUDY ME TO KNOW MY FAILURES, YOU HAVE A LOT OF MATERIAL TO GO THROUGH. WITH THE MULE TO DOWNLOAD (the good) PERRY FARRELL AND THE GREEN DAY IT TAKES ME A QUARTER OF AN HOUR (even though I have Jane's Addiction and Satellite Party in original). How long does it take you to get the Cars, Ric Ocasek, Todd Rundgren, the Waterboys, the Silencers, Adam Ant, Bob Mould, Sugar, The Nazz, Utopia, Daniel Lanois, Catherine Wheel, Asia, Dogstar, Alan Vega, Biffy Clyro, all in the vast majority of their discographies with the approach of a scholar who needs to write a complete works? Have fun!
