Ooooh the controversy.

Andrew, I actually don’t think that sentence is a let down. I agree with it 100%! As for reviewing reviews, I’d say it’s quite possible the experience will be repeated.

I’ve no general issue with the review. Justin Edwards said it was one of the better ones he’d seen. I just think it is poor form to sledge a band with comments like blah blah “the annoyance and general nausea that the openers instilled.”

A comment like this is closer to being fair/respectable/substantiated: For others, it was a set twice as long as should’ve been be and starting an hour later than it deserved.

But when you forget that you’re probably not as incisively witty as you think you are and say dumb ass shit like the aforementioned, you just come across as amateurish.

Mr Hickey, to each their own indeed! Did you TRULY feel nauseated by Hits’ performance? It was your unnecessary trashing of the band that amused me to the point of unnecessarily trashing your review, for the record. Maybe that’s just your “voice”. As you can see, mine is obnoxious and “irreverent”. Welcome to UBERWENSCH.com.

Theo, while your attempt at an internet pwn IS admirable, and well typed, I will ignore your textual smirk and respond thusly: In truth, a comparison between The Living End and a chocolate pudding would likely be more arbitrary than tangental. Despite this not even tenuous connection (now let me hold your hand as we penetrate my point – swathed in dense ambiguity as it was), the foodstuff-Living End comparison remains more applicable than a parallel between that same band and, say, The Drones.

Still tough? Okay. Generally one makes a comparison by reducing an entity down to its premises and then approximating a similarity to those of a different entity’s. As you can see here, a comparison between The Drones and The Living End does not abide by this fairly well-established mechanism.

I hope this helps.

Look, I even broke that up in to sections for you guys. Feel the love?

P.S. Andrew, just read your review and found it to be perfectly acceptable. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s.. Good.

My reviewing reviews career is over. Not a precious sniff or smug thought to be found in this one. I’m a fraud.

steph, you’re posting on uberwensch. this amazes me. i’m sure your review would have been fine.

mcmillen, i’ll keep an eye on your output and be sure to analyze it IN TO THE DUST.

Ed, I have never read anything by Candi Vegas but I hear people mentioning her often. I assume that’s a pseudonym.

Huxtable, you’re barely coherent. But it is okay, I know you’re Matt’s mum (I asked him) and I understand your reactionary behaviour. He’s a lovely young man and you’ve done an excellent job.
