I hear you but raise the point that isn't it so much more fun just to be plain rude to a stranger? My grandmother taught me a very good lesson. She said, ' if you can't say anything bad about someone don't say anything at all!'. She also said,' what's for you won't go by you'. She rued that a little as she got run over by a bus.... :( |

I think many - including me - would argue that technical accuracy does not necessarily translate directly into good art. In many cases, technical flaws can be outweighed by skill in another area - Bob Dylan, for instance. Or maybe you think he's a hack, too. If so, we have no basis for discussion. |

Incidentally, this song still sucks. The guy sounds like he's singing while passing a kidney stone.

God forbid anyone have a dissenting opinion on RP! I've been noticing these types of comments appear more and more frequently in song comments: "you don't like this song? You obviously know nothing, and should go away forever. Your opinion is not welcome here." RP is turning into an echo chamber. |

Uhh. Got to say this. I cringe every time this guy sings. Have to turn the volume down every time until it's over. Just can't listen to this voice. It is too bad for words.
I have very broad tastes in music and have never felt that strongly about any singer. But this guy is just not broadcast-able even if other aspects have some merit.
This is my first post. I felt compelled. Just could not bottle it up any longer. Sorry.

Yeah, same sets come around every so often. Not so much you would remember yourself, but it's funny when you read an earlier post where a reviewer lists a string of songs to express pleasure/pain/bliss- and it's the same set you just heard.
Still, you cannot beat the variety and thought going into the programming. Keep it coming! |

Okay, do what you want, but you'll feel differently when you get to "Trace". I like the new stuff but nothing beats their first album. |

Sometimes it's not important to be perfect in what you do if the music fits into time or generation.
Thinking of Sex Pistols i.e.... |
