Red Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 1 minute ago, HAPPY ROOTING UNICORN said: Yeah, this band has always been underestimated and hated by part of the critique. We have to remember that a record like 21CB has 70 on Metacritic, and some of those reviews are absolutely ridiculous and in line with what that Dutch newspaper is saying today, for example. Even AI was denigrated and smashed by some reviewers, I wonder what they would write about it now that they use that record as holy grail of comparisons. Someone even gave 0 to Warning, I mean, come on. To be honest I have almost completely stopped paying attention to "professional" reviews anymore for this very reason. When it comes to video games and other media I have found that I typically enjoy things that other people don't, so at the end of the day it's all just one person's opinion and that person may not even be completely honest about it. Lets face it, some people just have a burning hatred for certain type of content (or in this case Green Day) for whatever reason, or they might just be paid a lot to say a particular thing about something, as has happened many times before. That being said though the very notion of this kind of review still pisses me off when "professional critics" absolutely bash something unnecessarily but the reason it does is only because other people might skip out on something they may have otherwise enjoyed a lot, and that's a damn shame. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you so much. It’s the same with films though I think, critics go nuts about a movie and everyone else goes 🤔 or 🤯😂😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was expecting a mixed reaction, so the hatred doesn't surprise me that much, but I don't get it. I'm ready to bitch about anything GD do, but this is just a perfectly okay Green Day record, there's nothing to say. 1 minute ago, HAPPY ROOTING UNICORN said: Oh lol, I read Dutch News Tribune, but it’s actually Duluth News Tribune.

So I’m giving you my blessing on being harsh on the Dutch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penbreaker Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I just listened flac version on my PC with headphones and god damn it there is so much more happened that this vinyl scraped version. For example in meet me in the roof I can hear additional sound In intro and one more guitar strumming not only main riff in verse and chorus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I like how GDA have stepped it up from warning to suspension. If you leak the album one day before it comes out, INSTANT DEATH! If you leak it 30 minutes before the release.......A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH! If you leak it 1 minute to midnight......well, maybe we'll let that slide. on second thought.....A WORSER FATE THAN WORSE THAN DEATH!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
