Is a rave review from a guy named Bland a good thing?

Hilarious! I mean, jesus why did he think he could possibly write a review about The Features with a name like Bland? Oh god... please, critics out there who want to write about the Features, especially when you are located in markets where the Features have not had a lot of exposure, do not write a review if you're last name will produce hilarity and ridicule on our board! Thank you. Perhaps someone will start a thread on the Do's and Don'ts for Critical Reviewers and their last names?

So semi-clever quips and opinions on the quality of popular music are out? O.K.

Naw, I'm just talking about how we should properly document on the boards who can write articles about the Features based on last names, that's all. Please, continue with semi-clever quips and opinions, TF.

Who cares what his name is?
Personally I'm tired of reading music reviews that feel the need to use witty, obscure little descriptions of how a band sounds like, "If the Yeah Yeah Yeah's were hypnotized into believing they were GreenDay and then sent to a panda farm to drink wassail on the 4th of July."

All in all, he didn't reference too many other bands. And he gave them a GOOD review. And he used the word "presaging".

I think we should send this guy a cake.

"If the Yeah Yeah Yeah's were hypnotized into believing they were GreenDay and then sent to a panda farm to drink wassail on the 4th of July."

I'd rather read that than, "They sound like the yeah yeah yeah's and Green Day." I think there's room for creativity in music reviews as long as it's accurate.
