| Thread: Any word from Terry??? |
|

there's truth in that. Most of the contributors did so out of fun. I'm pretty sure some of the people would not want a truly honest assessment. I'm not being mean, I'm not some saint of brilliant artist who thinks I'm ooooh soooo good.
But if you're really serious about getting into music, and want feedback in an honest fashion say so, but have a thick skin because music is pretty subjective more than most of the arts.

Additional. I don't think I'm a critic so much as a guy who spent too much of his own money on stuff, and unfortunately has a website and some free time and has the audacity to write whatever the heck he feels like and then posts it up. FREE SPEECH BABY. Even Canadians like that one.
A critic usually gets stuff for free. They have no emotional or monetary investment in the product. They can be mean for fun. I'm mean for fun too once in a while, but usually I like what I buy.
Oooh, dang thongs for men just aren't comfy. I wonder if I've got the thing on backward.

You're confused, I can get my gonch out of my crack, and now I'm finding that my alias isn't as bullet proof as it should be. Bloody hell - er heck, allow me to pretend that Stu is real. BDasso must have me confused with someone else who is tall and thinks that the big guy who plays the obnoxious fiance isn't that obnoxious.
As to the extra vowels ... I'm honoured to think that my neighbours to the south feel they have most favoured nation status and are the true centre of the universe.
Now about Songs of the Heart. What the hell was that? Nothing at all like the Lost Dogs who I happen to like. That song Mexico was great, why can't Terry write more songs like that? HUH (is that American enough for ya?)

Here is my reveiw of Dave Slager's reveiw;
After a not long enough hiatus between posting his opinion,
Dave Slager brings forth another reveiw of an album he would not
have the talent to make himself. The problem with writing a reveiw
is the writer should give an unbiased and intelligent description
of the album for the potential listener. Not judging the material
on his own personal musical tastes. Mr Slager fails in these two
areas by comparing this album to other works he does like and
even comparing the album to the country flaired Lost Dogs albums
he apparently likes. If he doesn't like the style of the album,
that should not be reflected in the reveiw.
Throughout the review are various contradictions, how can "Taylor's
humdrum delivery and bland band arrangements" and "Outstanding
tracks include..." be descriptions of the same album?
Not only that, there is frankly more information about other DA albums
in this reveiw than information about this DA album. It is almost a
commentary on DA's career more than an album reveiw.
After reading this reveiw I know no more about the album than before
I read it. There is no in depth analysis of the albums content here,
all I learn is that this guy likes older DA albums and the Lost Dogs.
I give this reveiw one star out of five. |
Blah blah blah. Let's review the view ...
It's an opinion. It what they do. Siskel does the same. You get a sense of that a reviewer likes or doesn't like. Point of reference is fair game. If you don't like the style you say so. If you want to have your stuff reviewed a certain way, then send out the specifications of what you will accept as in a review. By the way the bland delivery makes sense when taken as a whole. And within there can be moments where it does rise above. I have a number of albums where I think they're not very good, but when I listen to them closely there are moments I go "ooh and ah" but later when thinking about the whole thing it's nothing that I remember.
1. You must like it and proclaim Terry a genius
2. If you don't like it, don't review it or we'll get upset
3. You can't make contradictory statements.
Even bad press is press. Someone took the time to think DA was important enough to review even if it wasn't as favourable as you'd like. I had an interesting side conversation with Jeff from Ping a week ago where I was apologizing for not really liking one of his albums. I wanted to, and there were a number of really great moments, but the overall impression never struck me. It was the style and delivery not the talent. He thanked me for giving him a review and taking the time to acknowledge the band.
I can hardly wait to post some more of my personally subjective reviews of DA albums that have no indepth analysis.

Bax, about the Christmas stories, I never finished the three I started this year. I liked the ones from last year - but the navigation to find them is poor.

-man, the audiori guys are really humoring this thread...
(In the voice of Woody from Toy Story) "Look guys, this is Andy we're talking about..." But unlike the Toys in Andy's room these tributes should probably end up in next weeks garage sale. (c'mon, we can take it)
"People, we only have 2 minutes left..." -these fan tributes are in my 'umble opinion amateur outings only. And, if the truth be faced, STRICTLY for our enjoyment (grimacing all the way) alone.
It's a lot of fun to do and I hope they're flattered (?) but what makes us think these guys would want it to get out that they HAVE a fan base like us anyway?!
(D'OH!) 
Let's be honest, they're too low budget for serious consideration. They're done on the fly and in my case by a "need-a-life, wanna-be hack" in between workin' for a livin' and catching grief from my family and friends for wasting time on it to begin with.
So let's try to keep a little perspective whaddawe say?
Han Solo:
"A Jedi knight? I'm out of it for a little while and
everybody gets delusions of grandeur."
All right, I'm done, you can let me have it now- |
What a load of grey poop'one.
That's one of the most backhanded posts I've ever read. It has nothing to do with delusions of grandeur, and quite frankly if DA thinks dedicated fans grow on tree they might as well move to the even smaller market venues.
Sorry TM you missed the train on this one.
As to humouring the people who contributed. Yes some were challenged an no budget, others were better than stuff I spend money on. So rather than take a collective crap on everyone, perhaps the perspective needed here is distance.

No I don't think so. It's a ligitimate bone. No offense, but BD's homemade dinger had better navigation - and that's from a guy with too much talent and time on his hands. This was a Stunt release, and there was good time spent on the design of the package, the same on the guts would have been nice too.

I am disappointed overall.
It is not about the quality of the performance, nor of the audio. But is was a DVD. If nothing else extras could have included a graphical chapter index etc to get to songs etc. Even text history with photos of the period would have been appreciated.
I'm happy to support the band, and would pay again but this is a DA product and wouldn't have taken a lot of effort to include a little extra.
