I didn't say everyone who liked it pretended to like it.
My problem is mainly with critics/reviewers... if I hear a lot about an album, listen to it, and don't like it.. I'll look back at reviews that an album got, to see if there was something I have missed when listening. Yet the weird thing is, EVERY SINGLE REVIEW of this album that I've read has said it's a work of genius... which I don't believe at all, I don't even think 10 people in the world would think it's genius, so I get this vibe that people think they have to like it or are scared to not like it. It's like a lot of things on this message board -- people afraid to talk shit about Thurston or something. It's ridiculous. You can be critical of bands, even ones you like. Maybe I'm just too honest.
If you or someone else honestly likes this shit, more power to you. I've obviously missed the boat. But to my ears and my musical education, this shit just sounds like nothing -- literally, NOTHING. But, again, even if you're releasing nothing, if you release enough nothing and for a long time, people will think it's something. But, again, I'm not going to diss this whole band's output because I haven't heard it! All I know is, if it's anything like this, it's awful bullshit.
To be continued.
