No, I certainly can’t stop anyone from diminishing others sense of enjoyment like it’s their fucking hobby, nor can I stop the same 4-5 echo chambers posters from kiboshing every thread on this forum they personally think shouldn’t exist Nope I sure can’t
Considering how awful and tense things are both on a global scale and on this forum already, we could also just...not be shitty with each other. Y'all could just listen to the song or don't. Just a thought.
Hahahah the fact that you haven’t even attempted to respond to the context and reason of my posts is very telling. And I’ve been in this thread for a long time. I didn’t randomly “parachute” in.
Carrow likes this As he vocally decries the same band in another thread lol It writes itself at this point
I'm nonbinary with they/them pronouns fyi. Also I think Max is a terrible person and I'm not engaging further. Expressing my dislike without being shitty to anyone, I don't see the problem.
I’m gonna listen to the album cuz I love Brian and Fred. SA was also a huge band for me growing up. Will I post about it or shout it out on social media hell no. Will I purchase any merch or vinyl hell no x2. I also don’t think it’s fair to tell others how they should not listen. You do you. Max is definitely very suspect right now but also to our knowledge he hasn’t physically or verbally hurt anyone correct? Just been a grifter and overall questionable husband/dad. Which again it’s also the fact we’re not in his family. We’ve also not heard from Sherri or the Kids asking for help/calling him out. Not saying what he’s accused of is ok.
For me, there are different categories of artists I feel uncomfortable listening to (if that is going to be defined as supporting). Max is in his own category. He's self-destructive, needs professional help, and doesn't always fulfill his kickstarter needs. Until he's literally destroying other peoples lives like so many other artists I used to put on a pedistool, I'm probably not going to feel bad listening to him. There are assholes and there are predators. And a bunch of other buckets.
Quite a track list, a lot to digest here “Introduction to the Reunion Record” “Psyche!” “Are (You) In There?” “Carrie & Lowell & Cody (Pendent)” “I, Vibrator” “Auto-Harmonic Ass Fixation” “We Say Grace in This Goddamn Band, Mister” “Say Anything, Collectively, Made Love to God” “Nardo” “On Cum” “Decent Scar, Brah” “Woman’s Song” “Fan Fiction”
I'm sure doing The Color Fred full time doesn't pay the bills, especially with three teenage kids. Probably just a financial opportunity he couldn't pass up. I remember Fred once said that in 2014 Chris Carrabba made him an offer to be a full time member of Dashboard, but he wasn't ready to give up on his own thing just yet. Man, I really wish we were in an alternate universe where he said yes.
Based on these 3 songs, I’m expecting a great album. The new song is incredible. I don’t think I’ve been this hype on a Say Anything album since IDOTG.
