Okay. Here's the short and ugly of it...
First off, this guy's not a fan of the White Stripes, the Strokes, or (probably) any music in that genre. He went and compared Cordalene to Dashboard Confessional, Weezer and The Strokes, but has deemed that entire vein of music to be shit. Lastly, he went and dissed (yes, *dissed* - I'm going back to elementary school for this one) “Would It Have Killed You (To Kiss Me Just Once)." And that little indiscretion has officially put him on my LIST.
If you want to get your mad on, go visit the review. Otherwise, I wouldn't give that page any more hits on its counter. Mr. Rice doesn't like this type of music, so he's not going to like Cordalene. Of course, he's entitled to his opinion - I'm just vehemently opposed to it.

It seems Ben is incredibly proud of this review he has written, he also took the time to email it to us personally. You could say him emailing us and posting this review on our messageboard is a little unprofessional but like I said he seems very proud of this particular piece of work.
Fact is you get good reviews and you get bad reviews, and sometimes completely indifferent reviews not everyone is going to love your music, we understand this and accept this, in fact we all had a laugh over this one a few months back.

yeah, it does come off as unprofessional, but i am proud of the review. i may not like the style of music, but i've reviewed a lot of albums where the music isn't something i would normally listen to and i'll give it a good review if the musicianship is strong.
anyway, i decided to send review links to every smaller band i've reviewed. and i figured you guys only post the positive ones, so i'd let your fans know there are some negative ones out there.
as for the "assholes" comment in the review, i told my editor to put in an "author's note" that he forgot to put in. basically, it said, "author's note: use of the word "assholes" was used for effect only. just because i don't care for the music doesn't mean the people making it are actually assholes."
anyway, there you have it. i'm a little ashamed of posting the link, but then again, you have to take the good with the bad. and at least i'm not sending people to flood your board with hate like a lot of people seem to do lately.

Hey man, anytime we can get compared to the Strokes, White Stripes, Weezer, whatever, I figure it's not so bad - we like all those bands a lot! Now, as to us being 'assholes' or people who are 'cashing in' that seems a bit hard to figure... I'd like to know exactly where that cash is located, cause we certainly haven't seen any of it - and where is Ben at 4am when we are loading out after a show in DC and we have to be up to work the next morning to 'cash in' on our dayjobs? It's cool if he doesn't like our music tho, everyone's entitled - and we're total music snobs ourselves...
