I am with you 100%. The review was respectable to a degree based upon original content but carried over way to far. First off the review was released before the album was released to the general public (I chose not to download the album, rather to buy it and support the artist like in the good old days) and told people not to buy an album. We had gone at it before. I just never could understand why someone would come to a community developed by an artist as a marketing tool. And bash that artist and his work. Not everyone is going to like everything. But to essentially steal an artists work and then come to his home and talk crazy shit about it and why no one should buy it just doesn't sound right to me.
