Not me, I used the word sarcastically. But for a long time I assumed the bands themselves would, so as not to devalue the levels they might've reached or ended at. Fanboys will slobber at anything, no matter how trivial, mundane, or unnecessary.
really, 8 crap votes? for what? because you're scared that they won't be as good as an album you really like (which, by the way, they wrote)?
I didn't vote 8 times, but I'd imagine some people don't want the band to shit on something that they hold dear; dissapointment and not a case of heebie-geebies. There is something to be said about holding up a standard of worth and not tarnishing a good reputation for ulterior motivations.
if you don't like the band, that's reasonable. but to treat a band like you know what's best for them, or to hold them to some standard that you invented for them, is idiotic.
I don't care about Slint. I used the topic of their reunion as a basis to run off on the idea of how superfluous reformation weakens the strength of substance and appeal.
My standards are more universal than the methods an ex-teenage rock band from Kentucky chooses to operate.
Personally though, I’d like to remind everybody of two decades of Drag City dullness before they line up to buy their tickets.
