do you REALLY like crazy in love?? i’m just always a bit dubious when people list off a bunch of (mainly) indie rock bands and then there’s the random pop star in there.

Wait until the truth about Isaac Brock comes out publicly. This guy has had it coming for years. Can’t wait to see the public reaction of who this man really is. Truth is stranger than fiction.

How many times have we heard the artist “Going back to basics” bla bla bla routine. Sheep all get suckered in and if this were released on the heels of earthling people would cry foul because they would say how stale and not of the times it is. Its just critics and “fans” trying to deify him and the album for publicity and a buzz. So lame. So contrived. So utterly ridiculous in a pathetic way. And, before you feel the need to be asinine and downvote my legit opinions, just take a look at that cover…to be nice but blunt, pretty stupid cover. Photoshopped in someone’s trendy hipster L.A. loft no doubt to get street cred for “going back to basics”. Even the cover has no real significance or imagination. I’m a die hard fan of Bowie and love the more obtuse category like Low and Lodger, but this album is going to just get all this critical praise ( looking at you stereogum too) because its a back to basics approach, when if it came out after reality it would probably have just been ignored. Only because it comes out after so many years its time to christen it some wonderful masterpiece. So stand in front of it and lap it up doggies….cause this guy may not be a paid music critic like our man tom here but i’m not buying into the hype machine. We should have a record social commentary page too on stereogum where people like me and others who see through the blind spots of music and the blogosphere can really tell it like it is.
