on Record Reviewers

I absolutely hate record reviewers, or at least the ones in the punk rock community. Aside from a select few on punknews.org, every record “reviewer” on every other website is nothing more than a pretentious idiot who thinks they have a big vocabularly and can cram words like “whimsical” or mouthfuls like “spitting, fury-fest of angst” into a couple paragraphs that somehow quantify the likeability of a record. Who the fuck cares. The Beatles Sgt Pepers and the Lonley Hearts Club is widely regarded as the best record ever. I personally don’t care for it all. People seem to forget that there is no golden rule for taste. People like what they are going to like even if some asshole on punknews.org things the new Say Anything record is 3 and a half stars. The worst part is that some people actually give a shit what these jerk-offs have to say.

I need to start writing more stuff. But, I just don’t really give two shits right now.
