As someone who is "meh" on California I agree but for the opposite reason. It seems I listened to a different record from everyone. Including that one person that said they cried while listening to it. Not that I mind that people enjoy the record but it's very dissonant.
I mean, yeah you're gonna get some exaggerations like that from huge fans of the band under these circumstances, so that doesn't surprise me. The Tom trolls are awful though.
I guess. It's just weird to me given how I feel about the record. Not that it hurts me or anything, just weird to read. "Tom trolls" are people who are defending him or making fun of him? Because both can be really annoying.
Defending. I don't see anyone here who's excessively making fun of Tom, and if they are it's a reaction against all the ridiculous "this band is shit without Tom" posts.
There are a bunch posts about how Matt is better than Tom or making fun of Tom's hats or something. I just find it unnecessary. Like, enjoy the songs (or don't) but making fun of someone just because they left a band is well, dumb.
