Title: Fallen Poets Second Review - And It's A Stinker!!!
Post by: MrBump on March 07, 2011, 02:18:54 PM: Awesome! We've just seen the second review of our album "The Sea Will Remain" in the very impressive Rock Sound magazine (demos section).

God-awful review! But it kinda makes sense - we ARE all approaching mid-life crises, and peoples dads ARE more likely to like us!!!

:lol:

Top advice - buy our album for your parents if you want to come from a broken home!!!

Love it.

Mark.

It's not as bad as "shite sandwich"

So yeah, they don't really know too much.

Approval of what is approved of
Is as false as a well-kept vow

They're not remotely targeted to the audience you guys will appeal to anyway, they sponsor the stage at my festival that features folks like Alcest, Jesu, The Ocean, A Storm of Light, Cathedral, Ramesses... so a bad review there probably isn't going to put of many folk who would give you a bash otherwise!

What the reviewer (and the "music industry" in general, I suppose) doesn't seem to realise is that his/her opinion is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Keep making the music you want to hear. If you make it well enough, other people will want to hear it too.

If you want to make a living out of it, or get famous doing it, you've maybe got a problem... but then so has everyone else with those aspirations, no matter what kind of music they make :lol:
