Today was a very uneventful day. I've been playing this card game with my family called My Word!. It's a fast paced spelling game that inevitably causes verbal bashings.
Anyway, back to the original point. I have been thinking a lot of how I want to do the ratings. Do I rate by song or album? Do I do percentages or stars (and if so how man stars)? What categories do I rate? But then, I read a review of Everything Starts Where It Ends by Lovedrug at this link. And here's the artist's response*:
Dear Mr./Miss TrustxDialect,So this got me to thinking that bands have real people in them too. If I had someone critique everything that I did, my feelings would get hurt as well. I give Mike kudos for sticking up for his beliefs. So going along with that, I will only give non-hateful reviews. If I write a review it means that I already like the thing that I am reviewing. Any comment should be taken as my own personal feelings and should no way be taken as offensive.
I thank you dearly for this gem of advice into my now knowingly trite and useless dream of a career waisted for the past 10 years . You obviously put alot of thought into this and must know more about music than most. To think, I waisted all those years of putting my personal thoughts and feelings into these songs that I slaved over writing; and it took you only two easy listens to figure out that it was all just mindless bullshit. Man, I wish I had your insight. Well, thanks again. And if I decide to attempt to make another album I'll try not to let you down again.
Sincerely,
Michael Shepard
