Your right, no artist deserves a review like that but after saying that it had me wincing and laughing in equal amounts.<br />PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-53311815422547682732012-11-22T19:50:30.457+00:002012-11-22T19:50:30.457+00:00Maybe it caught me on a bad day ... no I still thi...Maybe it caught me on a bad day ... no I still thinnk he is the tosserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-87916017135369520562012-11-22T09:00:23.891+00:002012-11-22T09:00:23.891+00:00Mmm, I just know how I'd feel to be on the end...Mmm, I just know how I'd feel to be on the end of such vitriol, we're a sensitive bunch of t*ssers!Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-61497718724871912532012-11-22T04:59:52.955+00:002012-11-22T04:59:52.955+00:00C'mon guys, you have to admire Quietus' fa...C'mon guys, you have to admire Quietus' fair and balanced journalism. Mr. Agreeable (David Stubbs) is a real hoot! I guess I've really gone over to the dark side...<br />Admitted, he is a wee bit judgmental and has a slight tendency to overuse asterisks; but he's also a master of of the metaphor and very sincere in his commentary. <br />Also read some of his other scholarly reviews: <br />Morrisey: <br />http://thequietus.com/articles/09069-mr-agreeable-morrissey <br />U2: <br />http://thequietus.com/articles/01223-give-him-a-bono-and-he-ll-gnaw-it-mr-agreeable-reviews-u2 <br /><br />PS: Agreed Wallace's Blue Nile feature is crackerjack!Tim Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089890504560756715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-79254692416619226322012-11-21T22:20:03.763+00:002012-11-21T22:20:03.763+00:00Agree about the Mumfords review; I felt like takin...Agree about the Mumfords review; I felt like taking a shower after I read it; maybe I misjudged by bringing attention to it; the Quietus is usually eclectic and well written; seemed so off kilter that it caught my eye.<br />Agree too that the BN extras were a bit thin and unimaginative...

It did remind me of that quote "those that can do and those that cant write about it" Nothing not matter how outside your taste deserves a review like that. The writer doesnt come across as clever or funny just a bit of a dick. I've no idea what The Quietus was doing publishing it as it is a million miles away from the rest of their stuff<br />I've got to admit whilst feeling a bit grumpy feeling disappointed with the 2 BN re releases. Both 2nd discs seem light on "extras" apart from Regret on TT and Wires are Down on Hats and the Christmas song which as all great but i had them all anyway and the remixes are all a bit pointless. Especially as there are some great tracks floating around on the internet <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
