Default SYW review from Entertainment Weekly

I transcribed it, if you haven't seen it yet. It's another of those reviewers who can't bring himself to admit it's a good album.

Say You Will

I can't stand reviewers like this. They sit there and trash everything, and then really say very little about the new album, and just give it a grade of "B". What an contradictory ass!

This is what I find to be one of the very most nausiating quotations:

"Buckingham and Nicks - truly two of pop's great eccentrics, often best taken in limited doses"

Limited doses? What is that supposed to mean and how is that supposed to help a reader understand what this album is about? I could go on but I won't.

The fact that you've got some reviewers claiming songs like Red Rover to be the best thing on the album, and then this one slagging it off kind of sums up music critics deosn't it? They get paid for having opinions which don't even get challenged and aren't even backed up.

Default Contradictions!!!!!

"And yet, when the parts come together (more often, surprisingly, on Nicks' contributions), Say You Will soars like the Mac of old."

What the frick does this say about this moron? Well, I'll just say, the critics gripe about bands sticking with one sound, not branching out or breaking new ground and here this frickin idiot says "the Mac of old." Um, it's frickin 2003 dumb-a$$, not 1977 again!!!!!!" This kind of crap peeves me off. Red Rover is a frickin MASTERPIECE and he can bite me!!

"The larger problem with Say You Will, however, might be that it's Fleetwood Mac's first real album of the CD era - which means, like so many discs, it's way too long simply because it can be."

Hey dumb-a$$, it WAS gonna be a DOUBLE CD...I personally wish it was a FOUR CD FRICKIN BOX SET!!!!

Then again, he DID talk about the songs unlike the idiot Rolling Stone moron, but he's STILL a dope.

WTH do I let these idiots get to me, it's all about OPINION anyways...which means....HE is WRONG, and I AM RIGHT!! LMAO!!
