Rasputin Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well your of course entitled to your opinion. A lot of people like it...obviously some wont depends what ur into. All I will say is that this is just one track...from there extensive reportoire.Thanks for your feedback anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 extensive reportoire of what? more tunes that sound the same, that sound the same as everything else that sounds the same, with lyrics that are as banal and insipid as every other band doing the same tired nonsense. Yeah fair enough "It's my opinion". Yeah it does depend on "what you're into". So yes, this is good if you are into meaningless trite nonsense, so it's good news mate, you should have a big audience here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Ok ...thanks for the rant. I am not saying your opinion is wrong...but personally I wouldnt judge a band on the strength of one song. You think its boring fair enough.

The Kernel Loaf Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Doesn't quite live up to the fantastic RPG series of the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying your opinion is wrong...but personally I wouldnt judge a band on the strength of one song. You think its boring fair enough.It's not a rant, and personally I think in this situation it's safe enough to judge this band on the basis of this one song - and my judgement is that its banal pointless shit that means fuck all to anyone. It's the same as all the other crap being done by all the other crap bands in aberdeen made up of uninspired, uncreative, context un-aware dicks who have no serious intentions atall beyond acting out their childhood fantasies.

Do tell...Nah I was referring to the band's name.As for the song, I didn't really find it that interesting. It sounded too bland for my liking, nothing really gripping at all. I may have a listen to it again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Not a rant...ok....the fact that you have posted another triad on this thread perhaps shows otherwise. All I was after was some constructive feedback not abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasputin Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 It's not a rant' date=' and personally I think in this situation it's safe enough to judge this band on the basis of this one song - and my judgement is that its banal pointless shit that means fuck all to anyone. It's the same as all the other crap being done by all the other crap bands in aberdeen made up of uninspired, uncreative, context un-aware dicks who have no serious intentions atall beyond acting out their childhood fantasies.[/quote']If you judged most bands on 'one song' most of the bands today would not have had any success. Your judgement of the music scene, any music scene (probably ever) seems really 'uninspired.' To me, you appear a failed musician/music critic/etc etc acting out 'childhood fantasies' where your 'banal' opinions were actually listened to. It is fair enough that you are making your own opinion on what you like and dislike, but calling a group 'dicks' and saying that they are context unaware (do you actually understand what the word 'context' means anyway?) is just a completely ignorant comment.

It's all worthless, you and all the other clones, it means nothing. I'm sick and tired of this kind of rubbish. Thats my opinion, and that's how I feel I about most bands in aberdeen, so don't take it personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thats the pointI wouldn't have taken offence if you had just said you didn't like them. Instead you felt like you had to go on some kind of crusade, calling them dicks when you don't even know the guys in the band or their personalities. People post these music clips on this site to share their experiences of the local music scene with others who may enjoy it. If you make sweeping statements about the Aberdeen music scene, you should know a little bit more about it and respect people who take a lot of time and effort to write their material and perform for other people. Some people have commented at the band's gigs that their style (musically and in terms of performance) resemble such bands as Radiohead. They have also been recognised by a panel of music industry professionals who thought that they had something. I will take there opinion over yours any day.

Rasputin Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yeah right Whatever ....I really cant be bothered with this conversation anymore and for the second time.... I am not in this band! I just like them and thought I would share my opinion of them on here.I dont think you know what the term 'constructive' feedback means. In fact, to be honest, with your rants and triads on this thread I think it is more likely that it is you which is the 16 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Enough arguing folks. Stripey, you've said your piece. You don't like it, fair enough. However it's fairly obvious you were trying to get into yet another argument identical to the ones you always have on here. If you don't like this kind of stuff then ignore it, you can't change it by getting into childish arguments and insulting people. Please leave this thread for others to give feedback.

It's my honest opinion, so why shouldn't it be open for discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
