Could somebody post the whole review please. Billy you don't seem to do any work.

 

[spiritualtramp]

is anyone posting it?
I will type it out if not

 

[joseppi]

Yeah.
Boo.
the whole thing seemed to be a dig at the DUBLIN SCENE THAT CELEBRATES ITS SELF., rather than a review.

 

[#10-7]

can ye get it online?

 

[spiritualtramp]

here it is!excuse any typos
"the c4o (as they have it) include an amusing feature on their enhanced cd rom , allowing you to assemble your own crude post-rock opus by randomly shunting the five piece around their instruments.but the numerous permutations of instrumental loops and studious overlays on their finished album are hardly any more ambitious than that.
dublins latest addition to the experimental and increasingly insular new music commune follow spidery guitar lines , incremental development and abrubt swivels in direction no less proficiently than the jimmy cake or the redneck manifesto (both of whom line the sleevenote thank yous here) , but coming last out of the trap they join a movement now swelling into stagnation.
competent , unadventerous and pasting ideas together benignly , the c4o simply represent a mellower flavour of the same brand".

he has some points. cf. what happy was saying a few days ago.

As Roy Walker said on Catchphrase:

"It's good, but it's not the one"


Nothing wrong with a bit of criticism. Although I think the same could be said for the Irish Times - it's a ridiculously insular and po-faced newspaper (although better than the Independent). Talk about a complete waste of money. FT is the way to go for papers.

 

[mark]

indeed. is this the chap who wrote the wonky thing? BACKLASH!

 

[spiritualtramp]

the "review" was by peter crawley , whoever the fuck he is.

I suspect jim carroll told him what to say.

it hardly mentions the music at all , and as for the "coming last out of the trap" shit thats bollix , c4o have been around just as long as the rest of them

 

[Anthony]

Sounds like shite to me but them I dont have the album yet. oh my god! maybe he's right!

Sounds like somebody's jealous they didn't get a thank you from C4o..... everybody make sure to include him in your sleevenotes from now on

I havn't heard the album but I have to say I
agree with the bit that says
' competent , unadventerous and pasting ideas together benignly'
just judging from the times I saw them live.

And I don't really understand why a lot
of you here seem to take it so to heart,

I think there is too much back slapping going on
and even if the criticsm is a bit harsh it is necessary,
since the musicians involved in the dublin music scene
seem often to be more concerned about maintaining
friendships and good relations, than
improving the quality of the music with constructive
criticsm's.



apologies for any mispellings, and this is not saying
that there isn't a lot of great music around!

 

[Ex-User (252)]

look, the only important opinion around here is mine and i think the cd's great. so there.

 

[billygannon]

Or mine.

I'm going to give it three BGs

oooooooooooooo haggy. oooooooooo dave hag. no. bad dog.

a whole smasmogord of insulting there. did i make that word up? rappa.

 

[DontMugYourself]

Your dead right Sarah

There is noting wrong with constructive criticism. it is infact a very good thing foir all the backpatters among us...

but, tell me how was this review 'constructive' it didn't make any constructive suggestions....it only made criticisms..if anything I thought it was deconstructive and a little bit 'knives out'

Thats just my opinion
