Admirable sentiments from you & Mr Walker, Richard. & actually, as much as I like to rant about these things, I think life would be really dull if all the reviews in the papers were good. You'd never trust them, then, would you? I agree that (s)he didn't back up his/her views particularly well, but... Mmph. Can't win 'em all.

The reviews are not important.
You can't please all the people all the time and why would you want to?

The fact that you have loyal fans like all of us here means that what you do is significant and wonderful and has given a lot of pleasure. I waited all my life to find an artist that moved me and gave me the pleasure and sense of well being that your music has. Long may it continue Boss and just keep doing what you're doing.
We love it! :Hoorah

Hear hear! Just keep doing what you are doing Richard. It suits us just fine! I have bought tickets for seven of your gigs and driven about 2000 Hawleymiles in 12 months! No other musician has ever warranted such expenditure! :D

...hence the 'Rant' section is such a good idea. It's a bug up my nose when people a) try to do clever-clever reviews or b) don't even listen to or research the music in question.

I don't care what reviewers think as it's just one person's opinion, but it's the subtext to their arguments that are just bloody annoying. In short, I can't stand people being arseholes off someone else, it's probably nothing to do with music or reviewers per se.

Anyway, RANT RANT RANT RANT....

....aaaand relax. Image

That's probably part of it too... cos I'm one of the smiling audience, it's like these reviewers are trying to say I have no taste, I don't know anything about music, or something like that. Cos that's hard to ignore. But like you say, probably best not to read em, which i don't by and large but every so often I'll stumble across one and most often I don't agree with it, even if I agree the record is good.

Cos I'm such a grumpy bastard. :wink:
