Well, the words in my review are also there which state my respect for the talent that does exist within the band. if you actually look at the review, i do state the talent and potential of the band. man up? i stepped up to the plate more than most by saying, online, that the record is no good, at least compared to past endeavors. i've put myself out there saying the album was lackluster. all i was originally was trying to put forth was i do know what this band is capable of, but it wasn't delivered this time around. i'm not looking for a pissing match with ThisIsSomewhere, I'm just trying to clear up where I'm coming from with my review. 

My music journalist comment was meant as a reference to the fact, "if you think you can write a better piece, stop complaining, and write one then". I mean, if you REALLY feel it is THAT good of a record, then submit a review. The whole sticking-a-gun-to-someones-head comment wasn't called for. I find it an unfair things to hint to a pampered or luxurious lifestyle or by-choice career path. I found my way to this point, and I don't need someone attacking the path I chose.

As well, I could give two shits if someone doesn't like the review, I just think villifying my because Grace can do no wrong is a crock. I mean, if anyone actually looked at what I wrote, I clearly said it's JUST my opinion and at the end of the day we all love music and are passionate enough to discuss it, for good or ill. 

Again, good vibes to all.
