Fallen Poets Second Review - And It's A Stinker!!!

[MrBump]

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.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde" there is one thing worse than getting a bad review and that is getting no review".

[Matt77]

That's a bit harsh. I think it reflects more on the reviewer
It's not as bad as "shite sandwich"

 :lol:

Wait for our follow up, "Smell The Glove"!!!

I did have a little chuckle when reading that. The important thing is that it doesn't seem to have out you off! The singer in my old band got a bad review once and he was majorly hacked off by. He even complained to the paper it was written in.

One review of my band said "the guitarist was visibly bending his strings".

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

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

Sophomore release

Fallen Poets: The Broken Home Generator :D

Well done for getting a review in RS full stop, they can be very difficult. Oft wanting a copy at least 6 weeks prior to release or wont review it at all.

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!

:lol: nice one.

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:
