The White Noise Supremacists review me!

      No Comments on The White Noise Supremacists review me!

This comes from Iféoluwa B. of the White Noise Supremacists regarding my review of their EP. At least I know she read it!

Avenged Sevenfold: 7
The White Noise Supremacists: 6

I could have put out the greatest record you’d ever heard and you’d still never say so. I had to read you begrudgingly like my record and make nonsensical remarks like “The name is the best thing they’ve done so far.” So your opinion is that the name is better than the songs on that record? A name that is only “clever” if you know the context, which has obviously gone right over your head?

And then you bash Glare because it is too “indie-singer/songwriter” and has been done too many times before. I am an indie-singer/songwriter. What should my songs sound like? Polka? But you shat on it not because it was bad or there was “anything wrong with it”. But because it wasn’t as innovative or original as Avenged Sevenfold.

If you hate it, hate it. If you like it, like it. But don’t put down my songs just because you want to seem like you actually have an opinion. To say the name is better than the songs and then go on to refer to the songs as “pop-mastery”…it seems like you are more confused than you say my musical direction is.

If it were anyone else, you would have raved about this record. But for some reason, you couldn’t just flat out say you liked it without needless insults. If you want to be a reviewer, review music. Honestly. If it’s shit, call it so. But my EP was so much better than you made it out to be and you know it. But you’re safe. So you’d never say so. Well maybe I can just listen to Avenged Sevenfold and learn from the masters. What do I think of your review? I think I wasted 2 bucks on postage.

I have to say I got a kick out of this one. It’s amazing that someone so thin-skinned is risking criticism she so clearly cannot accept. I have to ask, “If you knew that your CD was so good, why did you ask for my opinion?” Maybe if she put some of this fire into the music, it would have gotten a 7.

It’s a good thing that I got this feedback though, because I was starting to think I was on par with Christgau or Fricke. I figured no one had offered me a full-time professional gig, because they were afraid to like me, not because I’m an amateur writer. Yeah, right.
